Summertime Fun in Marina del Rey!

Posted on July 2, 2019 | Filed Under: Food, Local Events | Tags: Marina del Rey | 2 Comments

Three things come to mind when I think of Marina del Rey - boats, beaches, and food! It's an easy drive from the Valley, about 45 minutes or less, depending on traffic. With the upcoming Fourth of July weekend coming up, this is the perfect place to get away for the day! Just recently, my family and I spent a gorgeous sunny Saturday exploring this seaside town. First up on our list of things to do, head to Mother’s Beach! Now I’ve lived in … [Read more...]

After sampling some of their teas at the booth, I ended up buying the Find Strength tea which is a Passionfruit Jasmine Green Tea. I also bought … [Read more...]

Fruit Bliss - Fruit and Nut Bites 3 pack Square

I love the sweet taste of fruit when it is paired with crunchy nuts. However, since my daughter is allergic to peanuts & tree nuts, I have to be careful with the snacks that I buy. Sure, I still eat almonds & other nuts for myself, but then I’ll keep them in a separate part of our pantry so she doesn’t accidentally eat them. That’s why when I heard about Fruit Bliss, I was thrilled to try it out! You see, Fruit Bliss has a product line … [Read more...]

The Legend Of Hallowaiian Cast Photo

Last month I was invited to The Legend of Hallowaiian Orange Carpet premiere! The film is a heartwarming tale of three Hawaiian kids who get into a bit of trouble on Halloween night.

So you might be wondering, why is Tia & the menehune posing with the … [Read more...]
