Chris Collicott's LED Chandelier-elier

These are so cute, perfect for any chandelier lover. My daughter got one as a gift, but I think I might "borrow" it.

Go to:

and find the designer-artist Chris Collicot's work.

"Chandeliers are always so grand and aloof, I thought it would be fun to bring one down to size The mini-chandelier's portability creates opportunities for fun: hanging in a car, on a tree, in a closet, or grouped… Continue

Urban HOTspot - Babe's & Ricky's Inn: Jefferson Park

When I saw that Babe's and Ricky's Inn was rated the #2 nightlife venue in LA on Yelp, I had to see what the commotion was all about. Located in Jefferson Park, it's the oldest blues club in LA and has been around for almost 40 years. Every Monday night is open-mic night, and the band gets continually mixed up as each guitarist, drummer, singer, and harmonica player takes a turn on stage. The cover charge is $8. We got there at 8:30pm, left at… Continue

My Relationship with Starbucks and Howard Schultz

I want to go into a little bit of explanation as to why I have this love/hate relationship with Starbucks, in general, and Howard Schultz in particular.

Here are the reasons why I love you and what you've done:

+ You have changed our culture, giving us a place to hang out in - your stores are warm and inviting (if not a little generic now), a place to work or kick it for a few hours.

+ You've given us strong (if not a… Continue

An Amazing Izakaya - Honda-Ya: Los Angeles, Fountain Valley, Tustin

I'm a big fan of Japanese food and this restaurant is really high on my list.

An izakaya is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks.

With over 200 items on their menu, Honda-Ya guarantees variety. Think of it like a Japanese tapas bar. Lots of little dishes to choose from that are relatively inexpensive, but bursting with flavor and a pretty extensive sake and soju list, with Japanese… Continue

When Eve Came Alive: GelaSkins

Months ago I found this site through one of the various magazines I had lying around. My MacBook Pro (I call her Eve) felt naked. I love the Apple logo, don't get me wrong, it's clean and pretty, but I wanted something unique to dress her up in. (The picture above is Eve enjoying a sunset in Greece.)

GelaSkins are covers you can put on your Apple laptop, PC, mobile… Continue
