• Turkey Leg Love Affair at Universal Studios Hollywood

  November 14, 2014

  

  I grew up in the theme park state of Florida. So I have a high expectation for the term “theme park.” No, not the oversized county fairs that northerners call Six Flags. Real — come at 8a, leave at 11p, but not without a tan, a stomach ache and a parade — theme parks! So needless to... Read more »

• Spooked Out at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

  October 20, 2013

  

  One cold and scary night, a group of  friends set out to explore one of LA’s most well-attended Halloween attractions… The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride… Muahahahahaha! I’ve seen the billboards, heard the chatter, plus one of my actor friends was hired to play the ghost of Tupac so the LA Haunted Hayride was on... Read more »

• Shutting Down The Los Angeles County Fair 2013

  September 30, 2013

  

  One of my favorite times of the year… Fair season! Right at that end-of-summer/beginning of fall time-frame the County Fairs come out to play. Going to the Los Angeles County Fair has become somewhat of a tradition. I mean… I’ve only been in LA for two years but I’ve been to the fair... Read more »

• Shakespeare Live in Griffith Park

  September 23, 2013

  

  I was researching free summer events in Los Angeles and ‘Shakespeare in Griffith Park’ was at the top of the list. I’d never been a fan of Shakespeare in school because the old English was just too much for me (I was kinda lazy). But in my adult years, I’ve become much more... Read more »

• Golf. Dates. 100 Degrees. Palm Springs!

  September 20, 2013

  

  While at the 2013 Travel & Adventure Show, I entered to win a two-night stay at the Palm Springs Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa from Los Angeles Magainze. And well… I WON! Palm Springs is one of the many staycation destinations for Los Angelinos. It’s only a 2.5h drive out of the city but it... Read more »

• PUI: Painting Under the Influence

  August 21, 2013

  

  Paint Nite Los Angeles… What a creative concept! In short, Paint Nite is an evening event when local artists host a painting classes at a local bars. It’s that simple… yet genius! If you follow my  blog, you already know how I found out about it: Groupon… and I’m so glad I did!... Read more »

• Fish Tacos and Kissing Statues in San Diego

  July 27, 2013

  

  San Diego is one of the “staycation” destinations for folks in Los Angeles. It’s only about a 2h drive (with min traffic) which isn’t bad for a quick turnaround trip. I was registered for a social media conference in San Diego so decided to make a day of it. I got there with... Read more »

• Fourth of July at CBS Studios!

  July 11, 2013

  

  Since personal fireworks are illegal in CA, the Fourth of July is a great holiday to check out the events that some of the smaller neighborhoods in LA put on. There’s an all-day festival at Grand Park in downtown, another in Long Beach and the Hollywood Bowl, just to name a few. How... Read more »

  Birthday celebrations have always been a big deal to me! I’m not a sit at home and have cake kinda gal… I’m more of a — let’s rent a hotel suite on the beach, take a weekend cruise to the Bahamas, drive a Pontoon — kinda birthday girl. So this year, my first... Read more »
