• Girl Gone Wild in Cancun!

  November 16, 2014

  

  Cancun, Mexico! The party town for spring breakers. Home of ‘Girls Gone Wild.’ Or… Cancun, Mexico! Honeymoon central. Where lovers come to love. Or… Cancun, Mexico! Where Mani C.G. went to escape! My first trip to Cancun ruined all stereotypes I had because it is honestly a destination for anyone who enjoys the beach. They’ve got tourism down!... Read more »

• ‘Junkanoo 2014’ The Ultimate Party in The Bahamas (Video)

  February 16, 2014

  

  Growing up in Miami, either your family is from the Bahamas or you know someone whose family is from the Bahamas. For me and my bestie, we fall under both categories. So when trying to figure out what big New Year’s plans we’d make, Junkanoo in Nassau was the likely choice. A little... 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 »

• Gary Baseman Shows Off Animation at Skirball Los Angeles

  August 18, 2013

  

  In all honesty, I didn’t know who Gary Baseman was before a friend of mine asked that we go checkout his exhibit at the Skirball. In fact, I’d never even heard of the Skirball Cultural Center before this invite (still a Los Angeles newbie). However as a Disney fanatic, I do remember the Disney series... Read more »

  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 »

• RENT The Musical in Hollywood

  June 27, 2013

  

  RENT is one of my all-time favorite musical masterpieces. I say masterpiece because it’s an awesome show, awesome soundtrack, awesome movie! I LOVE RENT! So when I saw this Travelzoo deal show-up for $17 general admission tix (usually $34), it was a done deal. I probably would’ve paid full-price too… but getting half-off... Read more »

  Went for a picnic in the gardens but there’s no eating in the park… Sooooo… there goes that! So, after we ate… outside… we went on in… and so the post about Descanso Gardens begins… Call me lazy if you wanna, but I totally recommend taking the tram tour. It’s how I learned all about the history... Read more »
