Although I’ll detail it more later or perhaps never, depending on how I’m feeling, it will suffice to say that the last 14 months were, for lack of a better word, a shitshow. Thankfully, I’m coming out of it now, though not completely unscathed, but at least with clarity and some confidence that I’m making the right decisions for myself. It seems only fitting that … Continue reading Your Comprehensive Guide to Paris
I’ve been grumbling about the food scene in LA for a minute. It felt stagnant and overwrought with avocado toasts and beet salads. I needed a spark, a change, something to whet my palette and get me back on my “lets spend all my money on food” train. Silverlake has proven to be that place.

It’s gained immense popularity since Game of … Continue reading Croatia – Dubrovnik
If you follow me on Snap and/or IG, you know that I’m all about food. That is until I got struck down by Fluchella and resorted to take-out pho (yum) and Taco Bell (shame on me, but that quesalupa though, #addtheCreamyJalapenoSauce). But all the sodium/sugar got to me and I was feeling sluggish and dried out. So I’ve been craving healthy, fresh, homemade “comfort food” … Continue reading Sunday Supper: Easy Bolognese
I’m recovering from my fourth (or fifth?) Coachella complete with an emergency eye procedure (Captain Jack, anyone?) and green juice for days. But as a seasoned and suntanned (aka not sunburned) veteran of this world-famous music festival, I’ve compiled my pro-tips for your Weekend Two Goers: PACK: Allergy medication, eye drops, and if you’re really on it: nasal spray – The dust storms were … Continue reading Coachella 2016: The Guide
