The Roof at EDITION (West Hollywood, CA)

I headed to West Hollywood’s The Roof at EDITION to try a limited-time only launch of the Black Widow cocktail in celebration of Dia de los Muertos and Halloween.

Kay ‘N Dave’s Cantina (Culver City, CA)

Recently, I headed to Kay ‘N Dave’s in Culver City with a group of blogger friends to experience their brunch, it was simply amazing!  We had so much food, drinks, and dessert that I actually had leftovers for once!  I left stuffed and with more goodies for later.  Sounds like a perfect way to start […]

Besides the absolutely gorgeous space, I decided to make my way over to the convenient Huntington […]
