Tar and Roses

Who knew Tar and Roses had been around since 2012!! I’ve been missing out on some uh-amazing food for two years now.  Reservations are still super hard to come by so call ahead of time unless you want to eat at 5 or 10pm?!  Here are some of the dishes we ordered, plus a couple of more that didn’t

Philz Coffee

I don’t drink coffee at all. I love the coffee taste in ice cream or an ice blended drink- but coffee on its own, no thank you!  Then our friends came back from San Francisco over the weekend and couldn’t stop raving about this Mint Mojito Iced Coffee from Philz Coffee.  We were on Santa

Keeping Cool

In this scorching heat, it’s hard to stay cool and less is always better when you’re running errands and hopping in and out of the car!  I just purchased some new Chuck Taylor’s from Nordstrom and love the black and white print!  These are my first pair of high tops and I love them!! I

Dinner Party with Friends

Our friends Susan and Kenlee are the best at hosting dinner parties!!  They have a comfy house that’s dog friendly and big enough to hold a large number of people.  The best part is that Kenlee loves to cook too!! So he woke up at 3:30am and decided to drive down to Newport Beach to wait

Panna Cotta

For our second session of “Cooking with Kristy,” she decided to teach me how to make a super easy dessert that’s light and simple!  I’ve never tried Panna Cotta before and for some reason whenever I would see it on the menu, I would never consider ordering it because I’d rather have the ice cream,

Beach Days

I love finding beaches that are hidden and empty because it feels so private and quiet.  I’ve noticed that Malibu had quite a few beaches that were secluded and hidden in residential areas.  One day after visiting the Getty Museum, we started driving on PCH and saw a sign that pointed to Zuma Beach.  We took a

The Malibu Cafe

After all these years in California, I never knew that Malibu had some wineries and a lot of hidden restaurants and venues!  We took a drive back to Calamigos Ranch (since the only times I’ve been there were for weddings) to go and eat at The Malibu Cafe.  OMG, if you’ve never been, this is a

Apple Pies

Fall is just around the corner and I thought it would be nice to share a great and EASY recipe from my friend Kristy who loves baking homemade apple pies!  These would be great gifts for family or friends and seemed pretty simple to make (considering you have to roll the dough by hand)!  We

Summer Nights

Enjoying the last days of summer at the beach!  I love this light, linen tunic I found online at Madewell (see similar one here).  I try to find pieces that I can wear to work too, so I love that Madewell ALWAYS incorporates pockets into every dress and the length is also perfect.  To accessorize my

The Hollywood Bowl

I wasn’t able to post my night at the Hollywood Bowl last week, so I wanted to make sure I posted something this week!  This was my first experience having box seats and being able to have a picnic in our own private space!  It was awesome to bring our own wine, picnic basket, and
