Thanks to ClassPass we are never bored with our LA … Continue reading Heat up your LA fitness routine with our ClassPass Favorites

Michael had just finished a 50 hour training at the studio and spoke super highly of the community, the vibe, the teachers and more.

When she told me the first one was free when you are referred by an active member ($65 thereafter), and it was near my home, I … Continue reading Cryohealthcare comes to La Cienega
At 2:29 a.m. Monday morning, a roughly four-feet tall black bear strode a dozen feet from where I was sleeping the moment before. My trusty pup — an 18-pound, just turned 2-years-old Jack Russell/Italian Greyhound mix — stirred from under the warmth of his favorite plush blanket, alerted me with a low growl and sat at attention, staring down the intruder. Probably drawn by the … Continue reading Dogs, Convicts and Bears — Oh My

I spent a hot, steamy, schmoggy filled LA morning fighting July 3 traffic to wind my way up to the Griffith Park Observatory in search of the recently placed Japanese style teahouse in the canyons. Happy my friend cut and paste the directions onto his phone because the 4th set of directions went along the lines of “Stop when the 5 dirt paths converge, take … Continue reading Griffith Park Teahouse sends Wishes to LA
