Weekend Getaway to Napa Valley

If you are a resident of California, or if you have ever been, you might be familiar with some of the California stereotypes that go around. Even the state’s visitors bureau has taken advantage of some of the things non-Californians tend to believe about the state’s residents in their advertising. Just like any other state, we do have to work, but unlike some we also take our playtime seriously. Weekend getaways, adventures outdoors, and trying new things is just a part of living the exciting California lifestyle. I got a chance to embrace another part of California over the weekend, and to say I was thrilled is an understatement. I have lived in Los Angeles for quite a while, and I like to explore the city often just because there is always...

Chinatown LA

Living is Los Angeles can be fast paced and hectic most of the time. When my friends and I do get some down time, you are likely to find us at some of our favorite restaurants or just hanging around a certain part of town. One of our favorite areas in LA has got to be Chinatown. There is something there for everyone, and the dining makes the trip there worth it alone. If you have yet to experience LA’s Chinatown, you are missing out. This is the first modern Chinatown in the United States, and it was home to the first mall too. The shopping is exquisite. Chinese themed products are not the only things that you can pick up in Chinatown. Unique home stores and centers give you all sorts of ideas for souvenirs and things to take home with you....

Taking Advantage of Your Beach Day

When people find out that you live in California they probably assume that you see the beach all the time and they begin to rave about how jealous they are of your lifestyle and how lucky you are. But as hard as it may be to believe, not everyone in the Golden State can live the life of a stereotypical beach bum. We too must take advantage of those beautiful days on the beach, just like the throngs of tourists who swing by to soak up some Western rays. If you are heading over to a beach for a day trip, make sure you are prepared and that you know just the right spot to make the most of your free time. If you are new to your area or just never venture out to one of the beaches nearby, I would recommend inquiring with friends or coworkers about which spots are...

Moving to Los Angeles

I have lived in the fabulous city of Los Angeles for the last ten years, and I must say I love everything about it. There is always something going on and something to do in the city. Last time my good friend was in town she decided that it was time for her to get a place and move to LA too. She packed all of her stuff, had the moving company LA help move her in, and that night we got right down to the specifics of LA. Anytime you move some place new or travel to a new destination, then you surely need someone to show you the ropes. Here’s my insiders guide to Los Angeles. Whether you are moving to stay or just stopping by, these are good things to know. Dining and Food Dining out in Los Angeles can sometimes seem overwhelming. If you are...

Welcome To Los Angeles

As you know, I love my city. Los Angeles is a fantastic place to live, work, and play. There are so many types of people and place here that the energy and excitement is completely undeniable. People who visit typically find that they would rather stick around, and those who have to move away will surely be homesick. That is just how it is though. I actually live in Downtown LA, or DTLA, and for some reason that is surprising to many people. When you see some of the facts though you might be a bit surprised to find out that DTLA residents are all a lot like I am. A demographic study was recently composed by the Downtown Center Business Improvement District, and it was one of the most all-encompassing studies done for the demographics of Downtown....

Beach Bums and Incense

Oh man do I love living it up at the beach! I have yet to find anything as relaxing and exciting as hanging out at the beach in our new beach house. In fact, I made it official just the other day that I am now a beach bum. I guess my friends have also known, since years ago they dubbed me with the title of ‘sand hippie,’ but I suppose that I am just now accepting the fact. If you are in need of some relaxation, I certainly suggest that you take a trip to the beach and become a beach bum, like me. Why is the beach so wonderful, you may ask. It allows me to let go of frustrations and cares, and when I return home I work better. Relaxing can be difficult for a lot of people to do. Think about this though, do you ever come across uptight and...
