THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: LOS ALAMOS
Whether you’re headed full speed ahead for “Lost Almost”, “Little Los Angeles”, or more accurately, Los Alamos, know that no matter what good things await. Located just 2 hours north of Los Angeles, Los Alamos is a funky little legitimately old western town that has become quite the little destination over the past few years...
THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: NAPA VALLEY
After 18 years of growing up in the Bay Area, 10 years of countless wine bottles consumed, and god-knows-how-many-years of visiting wine country almost quarterly – it’s safe to say I’ve become pretty well versed in all of the notes of Napa Valley. (I think I might get bonus points for having a BFF/aunt who happens...
THE “LA MADE” 2021 GIFT GUIDE
I find myself in a perpetual state of shock over how quickly this year has blown by! Is that a thing you’ve noticed yourself saying as you’ve gotten older? But really where DOES time go?! Alas, we have much to be grateful for as we enter into “the most wonderful time of the year”,...

THE BEST THINGS ABOUT LIVING IN LA
We all know there is little else I find better than living (and loving, and loathing) in the city of LA. While I love exploring the globe I love coming home to California and the City of Angels the most. Facts are facts, the West Coast is simply the “Best Coast”. I moved to...
THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: LAS VEGAS
LOVE & LOATHING… LAS VEGAS. Fact: I have traveled to Vegas more times than any other city – and I love it way more than I loathe it. I remember my first trip to Sin City like it was yesterday (don’t we all)… rolled into town all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, got drunk off...
BEST ROAD TRIP FROM LA: CUYAMA BUCKHORN
It’s official – I have a new favorite hotel in California. If it weren’t obvious per most of my recommendations, I definitely seem to have a type when it comes to what I consider to be “the best accommodations”.
