signage

Last week, I visited Arth Bar + Kitchen for a leisurely Sunday lunch. The stylishly decorated restaurant serves modern Indian cuisine and is located on Culver Boulevard in downtown Culver City. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant is the stunning chandelier and the full bar. One of the things that sets Arth Bar + Kitchen apart from other Indian restaurants in the area is their expansive bar and innovative cocktails. … [Read more...]

Universal Studios - Secret Life of Pets

Since my family and I live in the San Fernando Valley, Universal Studios Hollywood has long been our go-to theme park to visit. The close proximity to our house makes it easy to pop over for a visit during the summer and especially at the holidays, when Hogwarts Castle lights up and there is a “Grinchmas” tree in another section of the theme park! There are several new attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood and my family got to enjoy them … [Read more...]

Cauliflower Rice_Rubio's

Cauliflower rice is a popular side dish among folks on the keto diet and for those who want gluten-free options. Although I don’t have gluten sensitivities, nor am I on the keto diet, I do like the idea of increasing my intake of veggies as opposed to carbs. You’ve seen cauliflower rice in the grocery stores, and you may have seen it offered at a few restaurants. Well, I am happy to report that it is now being added to the menu at all Rubio’s … [Read more...]

SUP - Marina del Rey_Friday Feels

Hooray, it’s Friday! Although this was a short work week for me (my office was closed on Monday in observance of the holiday), I feel like I packed in a lot of things. However, most of the things I’m going to mention in this ‘Friday Feels’ blog post took place over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. We hopped all over LA and the San Fernando Valley. Oh, the places you will go indeed! Stand-up Paddle boarding (SUP) in Marina del Rey I … [Read more...]

Taste of Universal {Foodie Review}

Minion Cafe

Last weekend, I attended Taste of Universal with my family. It had been over a year since we were inside of Universal Studios and when we heard about this foodie event, we immediately bought tickets! Prices for the tickets vary, depending on what day of the week you attend. Your ticket includes 5 food or beverage items (3 for kids). Not a bad deal considering most of the food items cost between $7-10. Although all rides, shows, and … [Read more...]

Kaylee Leming_Honey Plate Co.

I discovered Honey Plate Co. on Instagram a few months ago. If you’re a fan of charcuterie, then you’ll want to check out this female-owned, San Fernando Valley-based business that makes custom charcuterie boxes in all shapes and sizes. I remember the first time I tried the Honey Mini Charcuterie Box from Honey Plate Co. My daughter and I shared this box full of yumminess one afternoon last month. The cheeses, fruit, crackers, and meats were … [Read more...]
