From Brunchin' LA: High Tide DTLA

From Brunchin' LA: High Tide DTLA
High Tide is a gem hidden away somewhere in between Skid Row and the arts district of Little Tokyo. It's actually steps away from my old office, so I wasn't at all deterred by the landscape. While the outside is a bit rough, the inside is nothing short of adorable. Precisely why I chose th…

Coming Soon: New Spring Beauty
The Boom Boom Bloom collection from Mac Cosmetics couldn’t be any more “spring” if it tried. Inspired by cherry blossoms and adorned in their pink petals, I’m excited about the packaging alone. It arrives March 7th.

Lego Space Hollywood

Lego Space Hollywood
If you're in or near L.A. and your little ones (or you- I don't judge) are super hyped for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, there's a really cool experience on the corner of Hollywood and Vine that should tide them over until the movie hits theaters February 8, 2019.
