The Best Happy Hour Drinks and Eats from Magnolia House

There’s a glorious moment that happens every single weekday. It only takes sixty seconds for it to come into effect, but the instant it does your entire attitude changes.

Esterel at Sofitel Los Angeles in Beverly Hills

“We have all of the specifics for your dinner, ma’am” said the host. I wanted to respond with “Rodger that”, but this wasn’t Mission Impossible. Instead, this was dinner; and not just any dinner. This was a course-after-course, lavish, dining engagement at Esterel in Beverly Hills. This dinner would be exceptional and if I choose

TJ: Let me say the password. Me: No. She told me the password so I’m saying it. TJ: I’m gonna say it. Me: You better not. I’m gonna be all mobster slick and whisper the password. TJ: Too bad you can’t whisper. I paused for a second. Me: You know what to say right? TJ

Gamz in Downtown LA

It was 1:06pm and I was running late. I was invited to check out the brand new bar Gamz in Downtown LA prior to its September 10 grand opening along with some bloggers and Instagrammers and I was six minutes late. I know with these types of events five minutes is fine, but I was
