Where To Eat: Bondi Harvest
Checking out new restaurants is more than just deciding if they have good food or not. It’s about the atmosphere, service, food presentation, cleanliness, & if we’re being totally honest, Instagram-ability (did I just make that up…?). Very few can knock all those categories out of the park but recently I visited Bondi Harvest in Santa Monica & […]
The 5 Best Bars That Are Both Tasty & Good For You
In this day and age, it’s can often be tricky knowing what foods are actually good for you. There are so many foods out there marketed as “health foods” & “protein packed” that are filled with artificial ingredients & even chemicals. One category I’ve seen have major issues with this is protein & granola bars. […]

Donut Friend is the epitome of LA food: vegan, donuts, Instagram-friendly, & delicious. A winning combination you wouldn’t typically put together, we know.

Elderberry Moscow Mule Recipe
I’m not a big drinker, I’d usually rather save my calories for chocolate cake or pop-tarts, but for those fun nights out or when hosting an event, I always love to have a signature cocktail. I always like it to be an easy recipe that I can whip up in a few minutes but that tastes delicious (which […]
The Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
I’m not necessarily a vegan, but if I can avoid dairy products, especially in desserts, by all means I’m game. Whether you’re a vegan or not, you’re going to LOVE these cookies. They’re so much healthier for you (hello no butter!!) & are easily the softest, chewiest cookies I’ve ever had. The moisture from the coconut oil allows the cookies to […]
DIY Unicorn Pumpkin Tutorial

Perhaps that’s because those were my school colors growing up so I spent Friday after Friday wearing orange for “spirit day” or perhaps it’s because I’m pastel addicted, regardless I knew I had […]

Some of my favorite spots […]
