No one would argue that L.A. is super COOL —  but it can also be confusing and costly. Want to experience the JOY of SUMMER without getting lost or breaking the bank? Join the club! (Hey, I should be president of it!)

Fun & Free — L.A. July-August

1. Spotify your latest and greatest, blast your sounds on your iPhone, and run your firm body (or at least firm it up on the run) along the beach where you’ll soothe your soul and breathe in fresh salty air. Ahhhh…
2. Bike along the Venice canals (between Washington Avenue and Venice Blvd.) and wind your way around bridges, quaint houses and charming gardens. (I’m an L.A. native and I didn’t even know about this gem of a neighborhood till I saw it in a movie – Truth! So crazy!)
3. On the second Thursday of the month, check out the hipsters and creatives (and oh, yeah – the art) at the Downtown L.A. Art Walk.
4. Step-up and start “Stairing” in Silver Lake or Santa Monica. It’s a great way to get tan, get in-shape and meet new friends. (Seriously, the stairs are packed with potential love interests, bffs-to-be and frenemies who should be on a watchlist, ahaha).  Read the rest of this entry »

bad hair day?

1. Is your HAIR a HORROR STORY?
2. No matter how hard you try to style it like the stylists, do you end up with FRIZZ? 
3. Do you have MORE IMPORTANT THINGS to focus on than the mirror?

DON’T BLOW IT!

You’ll never ever need to blow a job interview, first date or audition again. Read the rest of this entry »

Forget Acting!

I should be a PSYCHIC!

All of my Comedy Pilot Predictions came true!  Too bad I can’t predict what’s gonna happen in my own “career”, Ugh!

Congrats to all behind the shows that were picked up!  Can’t wait for you to come back from the Upfronts, so we can MOVE ON to– Read the rest of this entry »

organized for all occasions

My best friend, Rachel, remembers everyone’s everything! She’s like a “THOROUGHBRED OF THOUGHTFULNESS” who collects cool cards to keep all-year-round — so she’s always ready to remember everyone.  But she’s totally disorganized and can’t remember where she put that perfect card when she needs it. Crazy Rae!

Enter Evie!

I’ve been collecting cards to give Rachel for months — Read the rest of this entry »

It’s time to wrap it up!

With only 15 days to go (14 shopping days) — there’s no more time to procrastinate! Ready or not, the HOLIDAYS ARE HERE! And Hanukkah is happening NOW!

Trying to figure out what to get for Friends and Family?
We all get tired of the same-ol’-same-ol’.
Here’s a short list of future classics to make life just a little more organic, comfy and cool.
Oh yeah…

Gotta admit, I’m LUCKY to live in L.A.

I can RUN ALONG THE BEACH any time I want —
I can BLAST MY MUSIC whenever I’m in my car —
and the weather is pretty RAD.

But let’s face it —
People tend to come down with “gridlock crabbiness” —
Being an Actor isn’t all it’s cracked up to be —
And there must be something more interesting to talk about than Box Office or who the next American Idol Judges will be.

Things that bug me this week and it’s only Monday —

• Non-stop news alerts about how well the DARK KNIGHT RISES is doing despite the tragedy (WRONG on so many levels!)
• Too many trucks blocking my street (HONK! HONK!)
• Carmageddon – Will it EVER be over? (me no think so!) Read the rest of this entry »
