Chocolate tortilla chips – nuh uh?!?!
Okay, it may sound strange but they have managed to breed my two favorite snacks together. I can’t not try these.
They may just one-up my favorite Trader Joe’s treat: dark-chocolate covered edamame.

Brass as bling

It’s jewelry time! Bags are nearly complete so I thought I’d give my necklaces some TLC. I really love the vintage, close-out pieces for pendants that I scored. What I don’t love is how my wrist and hand pains keep getting worse.
Have my second acupuncture treatment tomorrow and I’m sure a wrist brace is somewhere [...]
Mid-century modern dreaming

One week after visiting REVIVAL, a humble yet amazingly stocked vintage shop in Lincoln Heights, I am still dreaming of owning this piece….
It was priced at $300 (practically free!) and was in pristine condition. If only I had space for it!
If you’re into vintage furniture and accessories, make the pilgrimage. While there, stop by the [...]

Got to the game early, got my Man Ram bobble head, got my dodger dog, and then got to see a moment to be written in the record books: Ramirez hit a grand-slam in his first and only swing of the game…the first ever Dodger to do so on his own bobble head night. The [...]

Andrew Bird’s show at the Greek held a spot on my calendar for months but I never bought tickets. On the day of the show I looked at my schedule and thought, hmmm, perhaps I’ll end up going somehow…. Sure enough, I got an invite a few hours later. I can thank my friend Kai [...]

Crafty Saturday downtown

It’s been too long since I spent a day downtown. Thankfully I had an excuse to go.
Needed to buy some jewelry and bag supplies and as always, my friend Jose at the bead store knew how to up sell me – I can’t go in there with a budget because it immediately gets thrown out [...]
DIY Notepad

Scratch printer paper and back sides of used sheets make for a nice notepad. I don’t think many of us at work will ever loose the boot-strapping (and eco-friendly) approach to getting things done.
To water or not to water: Native Gardens

We need water but we use more than we really should.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has placed city-wide ordinances for water consumption during this summer season’s shortage. It ranges from restricting sprinkler using to Mondays and Thursdays only to only serving water in restaurants upon request.
