Universal Studios was never on my radar growing up. Despite being raised in Pasadena, we were all about Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. It took dating (and marrying) a San Fernando Valley boy to get acquainted with the Entertainment Capital of LA. I have such […]
I’m going to be honest: I try to avoid Hollywood and Highland as much as possible. While the iconic strip is home to the Oscars, Chinese Theatre and their footprints, it’s just too much most of the time. It’s got to be a good reason […]
Living in California, I often take for granted at how cutting-edge we are. Terms like sustainability, Eco-friendly and non-GMO are fast becoming buzz phrases throughout the country at last. Yet, several roots for conservation and sustainability lay in my golden state. I was reminded of […]
A “Tale as old as time” has returned to theatres! Nearly twenty years ago, Walt Disney Pictures released one of their most beloved fairy tales to date, Beauty and The Beast. Breaking box office records and becoming the first animated film to be up for […]
Last Saturday, I was able to check out Gordon Biersch Brewery in Burbank for a fantastic evening put on by Combat Radio and DJ Ethan Dettenmaier to meet Disney Legend, Bob Gurr and Tinker Bell model herself, Margaret Kelly. It was such an amazing experience to […]

So, I recently had one of the best weeks of my life. Added bonus? It just so happened to be my Birthday week. Is that what made it so epic? Perhaps. But, wouldn’t you consider it a pretty awesome week if you got called down […]
Last week, I had the absolute BEST time spending the day with Mike’s boss & his family at Disney’s California Adventure. While it was little 4-year-old Ryan’s day to have fun & celebrate, Mary, here, did an awfully good job of having fun too! We […]
I am so excited for another great Summer here in LA! Being an LA native, I love to find things to do (& when they’re free, extra perk). Below, I have compiled a list of 20 awesome events ranging from music to eating, to movies […]
