My “30 Days of New” challenge ended last week. How time flies! Most of my discoveries were small things: new restaurants, new products, new tools (Instagram!), and new shows. I did not discover a magical mystery tour. I did not find buried treasure during my first hike on a desolate beach (that one really bummed

Update 9/4/13: Lee and Morty are going to be on the Today Show today between 10 and 11 EST (per Swiffer’s Twitter Post). Can’t wait! 7/31/2013 Is there already a Lee and Morty Kaufman fan club? Because if not, I need to start one. I love their Swiffer commercials. And as I also climb

Happy Labor Day (weekend)! If the heat has driven you away from the parades and outside BBQs and inside to catch up on your favorite blogs, here is everything you might have missed on Dating in LA and Other Urban Myths this week: The Start of the School Year Every September feels like renewal to
There’s something about the start of a new school year (and the rise of September) that still impacts me even though my last day in a classroom is a distant memory. Is it because I spent the first half of my life in school? Is it because I keep seeing back to school shopping commercials
The boyfriend and I got into an interesting discussion the other night.

During my travels, I made certain that I stopped at Ingeborg’s Danish Chocolates in Solvang. Even though I knew the chocolate might melt in the long, hot drive home, I thought it was worth the risk (as it turned out, only the top ones really melted and all were still perfectly edible). I knew I
Yesterday, I hit the road in an attempt to calm some of the restlessness that seems to be overtaking me. I didn’t have a set destination in mind, but I had heard some good things about Los Olivos. I headed up the 101, and figured that if I got tired of driving, I’d just stop
