Yelp sure knows how to throw one heck of a party! I stumbled into the affair on Monday, BY ACCIDENT!, and completely oblivious to the fact that a) the sports bar, Bubs, was actually c...
If only every weekend consisted of lazy afternoons by the pool, 82 degree temperatures, and patio-side margaritas... one can dream, right? I escaped to the quaint desert town of La Quinta {about 30 m...
Last weekend, I went to Glorietta Bay in Coronado and tried paddleboarding for the first time! Truthfully, I was a bit nervous. Okay, I was really, really nervous. Ive never been particularly sk...
Life works out in funny ways sometimes. It always seems to steer you towards the path youre truly meant to be on. Hermosa Beach has been home for over four months now, and its difficult to say anythi...
The weather out here never gets old. In fact, I love it, even though its predictable day in and day out. Occasionally I miss the seasons {not winter though! haha}, but overall its been a refresh...
{the view from my 6th floor room at Hotel Indigo}A last-minute, mid-week getaway to San Diego was just what I needed - a little escape from the day-to-day grind! Traveling is without a doubt my most...
My mind never shuts off. This is probably why I find it difficult to veg out in front of the TV, or even sit down with a book for more than 20 minutes at a time. Im always dreaming, planning, do...
It was January 1st. Over 80 degrees outside. And my best friend and I were in search of something cheap {or free} to do in LA. Imagine our luck when we parked the car in West Hollywood, only to...
Yes, indeed. The best $1.50 youll ever spend on an indulgent dessert is no doubt going to be at Diddy Riese in LAs Westwood neighborhood. The concept is simple and sweet - you get to build your own ...
I can hardly believe that its been a little over 4 months since I set foot on California soil, with none other than my car and whatever else could fit in it. By far this move has been ever...
I may be stuck with a middle seat on my red-eye flight tomorrow night (woo hoo!!!!), and I may not have more than a thick sweatshirt to keep me warm when I get off the plane, but I am beyond&nbs...
Confession: I love bowling. Its such a versatile activity - great for a double date, a night out with your entourage in tow, or in my case, the answer to a rainy and beyond gloomy day this past...
Tis the season for...margaritas? Grand Marnier is an amaaaazing orange liqueur (a finer alternative to triple sec, only smoother, with a flavorful cognac base). I couldnt help but spread t...
Writing has always been one of my favorite pasttimes, especially journaling. But too many times, Id buy a blank book with a cute cover and write in it a few times before ultimately, losing inter...
My first Thanksgiving in California was romantic and spontaneous, and even a bit improvised. With no access to an oven, or even a kitchen table, we created a cozy candlelit atmosphere around our new ...
After a wild night of Boston bars, overpriced cocktails, and free stand-up comedy, my sister and my friend Amber and I treated ourselves to CapN Crunch french toast on the pier at Hennesseys in Hermo...
For Halloween weekend, I flew up to the Bay Area to celebrate my girlys birthday and of course - partake in all the costumed debauchery in San Francisco! Interesting get-ups were rampant, as was the ...
After biking fifteen miles to Santa Monica a couple of weekends ago, I walked around the Promenade area for a relaxing place to eat lunch. I always, always without fail, yelp every place I go. A...

Meeting a blog friend, eating tasty New York style pizza, and then going to see a concert was a good recipe for a night out! Ive been reading Kims blog for over two years, and within seconds of ...
I wanted to share some pictures of my cozy little abode in Southern California! When I first moved here, I arrived without furniture and wasnt sure where I wanted to plant my feet - West Hollywo...
The first two weeks in my new neighborhood have been so much fun. Ive barely scraped the surface of all the happy hours, but Ive indulged in more evening walks along the beach than I can count, ...
Over the weekend, I did something Ive never done before. I rented a pretty white and blue beach cruiser and biked 30 miles (roundtrip) to Santa Monica! My idea was definitely lofty, but I was determi...
Although I left the Boston area not even three weeks ago, my roadtrip to California feels so far etched in the past! My little car was fully stocked - I didnt even think everything wou...
