I got a Brazilian Blowout today. Thanks to Groupon, it was nearly half price (although once I added in the tip and shampoo/conditioner it was basically full price). I’m happy to say, my ‘fro is now going to be well maintained with ZERO effort on my part…at least for the next 90 days… In the food realm, I had a really rough night. Top Chef had me sweating for a full hour, but in the end my boy Blais came through. Phew! It was nail biting and my poor stomach was in knots the entire… Read more >

In November I was bragging about how great the 80 degree weather was. And then in January I was happily soaking up the sun’s rays on the beach. And now it’s March and the weather is cold and dreary!? What gives? Since it’s LA, I know it won’t last too long, but I have to say, these stormy skies and rain clouds aren’t fun at all. Breakfast came really late on Saturday. After saying goodbye to my sis (until we reunite in Europe in May), Kyle and I drove back to Santa Monica so I… Read more >

The past week has been pretty restaurant heavy. It makes sense since our fridge currently has more condiments than anything else. After returning from Vegas, we stopped at the Culver City location of Tender Greens for some very necessary clean and organic meals. It was pouring rain and we had no umbrellas, so we decided take-away was the best option. After showering and unpacking, I dug into my “Happy Vegan” salad. For optimal photography, I removed the toast and greens that were resting atop the other parts of the salad and put them on a… Read more >

Like I mentioned in my last post, I was on night shift last night. It was a pretty crazy day all around. Usually Mondays are pretty chaotic in general because the hospital tends to come to a stand-still over the weekend. As a result, Mondays are full of catch-up tests and procedures and whatnot. This weekend was extraordinarily busy with the LA marathon…especially since the hospital I work at is located at mile marker 18. Given the extra admits (runners), the spillover lasted well into Monday, and so my shift last night was on the… Read more >

Happy (belated) St. Patrick’s Day! I seriously forgot to wear green – yikes! My grandpa would disown me if he knew such a thing! This is also the first St. Patty’s in a long time that I didn’t celebrate with green beer. I’ll try and make up for it this weekend. But more on those plans later. I definitely had a rough time waking up yesterday morning. It didn’t help that midnight came and went and I was still awake… My alarm buzzed me back to life at 4:20, at which point Jillian and I… Read more >
