I’m on the GO a lot; by the end of this month I’ll have been in 4 countries. One thing I pride myself on is my ability to pack quickly and travel light. If you travel often, my number one tip is to always keep your toiletry bag packed. That way you only have to add a few additional items and go. You minimize the risk of forgetting the essentials like a razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.

If you've landed on this page chances are you're thinking about getting married in Los Cabos, Mexico and quite possibly at ACRE Baja. YAY! I can without a doubt say that having our destination wedding in Mexico was the best decision we ever made and stumbling upon ACRE on the interwebs was literally pure magic. (See my tips for destination wedding planning here.) Did you know ACRE was the ONLY venue we looked at?

Back in March I shared a new brand I discovered called Endless Summer; they're totally west coast casual vibes + so so chic. And their slip dresses fit really well on us petite gals because the designer is also a petite babe. If you follow me on IG then you know I've been wearing Endless Summer ALL summer long and recently decided to add a white tee into the mix to create a skirt/top situation. Not sure why I didn't think of this sooner!

I'm what you would call an Angeleno. I was born in Los Angeles 30+ years ago, went to USC, and have been a resident of Venice Beach for over 5 years. We are blessed with an incredible food scene in these parts and since I've had a ton of inquiries on Local LA guides, I figured I would kick off the series with my favorite Venice + Santa Monica Restaurants. If you're visiting or just looking for something new to try, these are spots that my hubby + I go to often and/or recently discovered.
