Lights, camera, cheers! The 89th Academy Awards (a.k.a. one of my favorite nights all year-long) are on February 26th. It’s such a special evening rooted in old Hollywood tradition and is meant to honor the very best of cinema. I admittedly haven’t seen all of the major films up for nominations, but I’m glad I did get a … Continue reading Oscar Party Wines
I like long, romantic walks to the cheese counter. Cheese is easily one of my favorite food categories. As a kid, I had a penchant for Brie. Nowadays, I gravitate towards goat cheese and Gouda. But in all honesty, I’m down for any wheel, any day. I’ve really never met a cheese that I didn’t like. There’s … Continue reading

Love lessons are some of life’s best lessons, but with love sometimes comes heartbreak. These are the even tougher lessons to learn. Finding the silver lining in a breakup definitely doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen. You won’t find it in your monthly horoscope or at the bottom of a bottle of Pinot. You probably won’t find it scrolling through Tinder, … Continue reading
Los Angeles loves its wellness trends, especially when a new year rolls around. From crystal healing and acroyoga to juice cleanses and mezcal cocktails, this health-conscious city is quick to give in to the newest, natural trend. I’m admittedly a skeptic (especially when it comes to semi-hippy dippy stuff), but midway through the first month of 2017 I decided to … Continue reading Moon Dusting: An L.A. Wellness Trend
Elevate your takeout with wine! As much as I love going out to eat, there’s something so satisfying about ordering in. If the restaurant delivers, I don’t have to suffer through L.A. traffic and I definitely don’t have to get dressed up. And you better believe that whenever I break open those boxes of my favorite takeout … Continue reading Takeout & Wine Pairings
A simple yet inspired DIY After my trip to the beach last week, I felt like creating a succulent garden that draws inspiration from the gorgeous southern California coast and its surrounding vegetation. California-native cacti and succulents often carpet the cliff crevices and rock formations of the beaches here, further adding to the natural beauty of the West Coast. I’ve made succulent gardens … Continue reading Beach-Inspired Succulent Garden
Most of us have those colors in our wardrobe that we turn to endlessly. For me, it’s neutrals like navy, white, and the occasional black. Yet while those classic color staples serve a wardrobe well, they can get a little ho-hum when January rolls around. That’s why I love incorporating brights into my everyday wardrobe. Just … Continue reading Winter Brights
You know those women who open their purses to what appears to be one big, noisy mess of makeup products? That woman is me. Weeks into the first month in the new year, I’m finally taking action and de-cluttering my purse. Buh-bye pesky gum wrappers and worn down tubes of lipstick! I’m making way for the products I utilize most. While … Continue reading
There’s something wildly satisfying about having a little glass of Port wine after dinner, especially on a cold winter’s night. It’s my equivalent of a cozy evening spent fireside with tons of blankets and my favorite dessert. There are a few different styles, but aged tawny Port is my current favorite. If you’re not sure where to start with this Portuguese fortified wine … Continue reading Pour a little Port
