On Thursday my alarm went off and I popped out of bed with a quickness. You may be wondering why I was so anxious about starting the day… It certainly had nothing to do with the excessively layered outfit I had laid out to wear (of course it’s suddenly 80+ degrees at sunrise the day I have to wear professional attire). It also had nothing to do with the 25 minute bus ride next to Mister I’m-going-to-broadcast-my-cell-phone-conversation-to-the-world. As I previously mentioned and then shared via twitter, I was in fact at a follow up job… Read more >

Last week was the (long awaited) grand opening of the newly rebuilt mall at the end of the 3rd street promenade…only it’s no longer just a “mall.” The new Santa Monica Place is pretty much the happening spot…but in addition to the high end shopping (finally a Bloomingdale’s on the west side!), there’s an entire dining deck. Source Trust me, this rooftop setting isn’t your average mall food court. Far from it. Ocean views. Award winning chefs. Like I said, it’s the happening spot. Even after a week of being open, getting reservations was nearly… Read more >

Top of the mornin’ evening to ya! Day two of our Seattle adventures started with more java loading from The ‘Bucks. Tall for me, grande for my beau. How cute is it that Kyle’s drink of choice now is a soy misto? After a liquid kick in the pants, we decided to get ed-ju-ma-cated on the history of Seattle. Creeping through the depths of downtown worked up quite an appetite. Lunch time! Initially we had our sights set on an African place called Pan Africa Restaurant on 1st Ave. We browsed the menu when we… Read more >

Reminder: BYOM (bring your own mug, that is) to Starbucks on April 15th for a free java I love that Starbucks is doing their part to make a difference…I mean, I already adore the ‘bucks for their delicious liquid crack, but The Green Project has put them on a whole other level in my book. Hippie approved 🙂 But back to Tuesday… Weather-wise, it was only moderately spring-y, but I’ll take overcast and warmish over 40 degrees any day. Brunch was colorful perfection. Fruity much? Today’s smoothie was loaded with POM, frozen mixed berries, frozen… Read more >

I won’t make you wait ‘til the end for this one…it’s GIVEAWAY time! Remember back when I showed you guys these cute Goody Green bags? They are especially cool because they go from the tiny folded up clutch (on the left), to the big carry-all (on the right), which is perfect for the spontaneous shopper. So say you go to Whole Foods thinking all you need is an avocado…and wind up with a basket full of $60 worth of groceries (just a hypothetical), if you have the Goody Green bag in your purse, it’s no… Read more >
