My Go-To LA Restaurants
I get asked constantly for restaurant recommendations, and I feel like after ten years living here now (YES, TEN!), I’m finally qualified to have a list of my “go-tos,” you know? This list is in no particular order, ranges in cuisine, location, and pricing, but I promise you will never be disappointed with any spot on this list!

The Monday Rundown
Chocolate Chip Cookie Greek Yogurt:Â I’ve been on a big greek yogurt kick lately so when I came across this recipe that explains how to turn it into something that tastes like CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH, I mean…this is basically heaven in a bowl.
Love Heals Wrap Bracelets:Â Available at one of the coolest stores in LA, Planet Blue, not only are these bracelets super cute but I also love the fact that Love Heals, a California-based company (btw), plants 10 trees in Ethiopia for each design sold. Â To date, more than one million trees have been planted, which is pretty rad, as they say here in Cali.
WTF Do I Wear Today? Canvas Art Print:Â Since I ask myself this question pretty much EVERY morning (and yeah, sometimes afternoon), I really love the idea of hanging this canvas print up so I can laugh at myself.
Zoey Van Jones ZVJ EyebrowShaping Stencil Kit:Â Not to brag but my eyebrows are naturally pretty awesome. Â I really don’t have to do much work on them and believe it or not, I’ve never had them waxed or threaded! Â My sister, on the otherhand, recently royally effed up her brows. Â And I mean that she effed them up to the point that she was crying and Face-timed me so I could see how they look. Â It was bad, I can’t lie. Â I wish I had known about these stencils before she took the tweezers to her face and made a HUGE mess! Â She’ll be getting these in the mail ASAP to prevent any future brow mishaps.

Super Bowl 2013 Survival Skills (for all of us who don’t care)
The Super Bowl. Â Yes…I bet you never thought that you’d read about such an event on THIS blog, right? Â Well there comes a time when you (and I) have to accept that the Super Bowl is an event that you can’t avoid, especially if you have a boyfriend, husband or even a ton of guy friends. Â Here’s my cheat sheet to surviving the most boring day of the year:
1. Learn which teams are playing. Â You don’t need to know details, just learn their names, colors and what city/state they’re from. Â This year, it’s the San Francisco (California!) 49ers versus the Baltimore (Maryland) Ravens. Â San Fran is red and gold and the Ravens are a purplish blue and black. Â Check.
2. Find a good cocktail that you can drink for the whole game. Â Belvedere Vodka created a delicious concoction called “The Big Easy,” obviously named after New Orleans (where the SB is taking place) and I’m way into it.
- 1.5 oz. Belvedere Citrus
- 3/4 oz. Canton ginger liqueur
- 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
- Apple cider top
- Shake and strain citrus, lemon juice and Canton into a highball filled with cubed ice
- Garnish with a lemon slice
3. Accessorize with “your” team’s colors. Â Now, I don’t have a team, per se, but since I live in California, I feel the need to support the 49ers. Â And luckily for me, I have a TON of red and gold but if you don’t, try just throwing on some gold bracelets and earrings. Â Easy.
4. Find some (somewhat) healthy food to eat. Â Aside from Halloween, I can’t really think of another day where you might possibly eat more junk food. Â Not that I don’t LOVE fried wings and nachos, but ya know…we gotta keep it in CHECK. Â Here a few great, healthy recipes that I found on various sites:
