Earlier this summer, my family and I went on a road trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea. During our stay, we had the pleasure of dining at Lugano Swiss Bistro, a charming restaurant that serves Swiss, German, and French cuisine. While indoor dining has been temporarily suspended in Carmel, Lugano Swiss Bistro offers outdoor patio dining, as well as curbside pickup. I suggest making a reservation ahead of time, as these outdoor tables do go … [Read more...]
Meet Celina Hanna, Licensed Esthetician & Owner of Heavenly Beauty Room
I met Celina Hanna almost a decade ago when I joined the marketing department of a company based in Woodland Hills. My first impression was that she is hard-working, passionate, and has a sarcastic sense of humor. After I left the company, we remained in touch. About two years ago, I learned that Celina had followed her passion and opened a beauty studio. I immediately booked an appointment for a facial at Heavenly Beauty Room! Once inside her … [Read more...]
17-Mile Drive: Touring the Long and Winding Road
The 17-Mile Drive is a gorgeous scenic tour through Pebble Beach.

PaleyFest LA: 5 Fun Facts about Ozark
I’ve been a fan of “Ozark” since the very first season dropped on Netflix. When Season 3 premiered in late March of this year, I was excited to watch something new, especially since the “shelter at home” rule had been in effect for about 2 weeks. I think we can all agree that Season 3 is the best season of “Ozark.” In fact, it was just a couple weeks ago that the Emmy nominations came out and “Ozark” garnered a total of 18 nominations, … [Read more...]
