Sucks. But then who didn’t already know that? Driving for miles and miles through nothingness with the crappiest rest-stops… and doing it with a ridiculous hangover that rivals those from my college days… well that’s just plain stupid. Usually I plan ahead, hell, I’m the girl who brings 5 different snacks with me when I go shopping just so I’ll have options in case I do get hungry. And yet, I was in such rare form after a night of heavy boozing, all that I had on hand as we set off on our 7… Read more >

How I love thee, let me count the ways… 1. Prepared foods bar As you are about to see, I’ve been going through a few obsessions. Whole Foods makes it dangerously easy to slip into food ruts because each dish is better than the last and meals require no effort whatsoever (aside from determining if you want the Kirstie Alley size or the more moderate portion) because they are already prepared. Fumi Tofu Salad I was first introduced to this glorious dish back in my college days, when the Whole Foods opened in Westwood and… Read more >

In between apartment searching, we’ve been doing some exploring… Looks like WF has some competition (not really, but let’s pretend)! Can you believe I had never heard of Co-Ops until a year ago? I grew up with Farmer’s Markets, Health Foods Stores, and the likes, but somehow this amazing phenomenon eluded me. Luckily Santa Monica has one that I know will become a mainstay in my life. In addition to local growers’ produce, etc. this place has tons of great prepared eats…vegan and raw goods aplenty! The raw foods section was really $$$, but sometimes… Read more >

After saying goodbye to this: And saying hello to this: I LOVE YOU CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about feeling like I returned home. Everything feels right in the world now. Seriously. There is no other way to describe it. I just feel like – at long last – I’m back to the city where I am meant to be. Kyle and I have been running all around So Cal, seeing friends, organizing our lives, buying a car, frequenting the WF hot bar, frequenting Starbucks, and y’know, just vegging out. Oh, did I mention the WF hot bar?… 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 >
