California travels…

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you truly live in California, but are just visiting in reality, the apartment complex I’m currently staying in is the perfect getaway. It’s located directly behind the Chinese Theater that is located on Hollywood Blvd. The apartment is located on North Orange street and there is so much to do and see, and the best part is, it’s all within walking distance.

Wake up in the morning and take a stroll to the local Starbucks while you read all the celebrity stars. It’s only minutes away from Universal Studios City Walk and Venice Beach is just a short ride away. This is the perfect hide away and it’s reasonable. The website we used to find it is www.airbnb.com. It’s great to feel like you’re in an apartment rather than a hotel. Ours has two bedrooms, each with a bathroom. There’s a small kitchen where you can buy food to save some money if you don’t want to always eat out. It also has the common area with free Wi-Fi, cable tv, and a dining/living room area. If you only need to book one room you can. Each room also comes with it’s own set up keys so you can lock up when you leave.

So for your next trip, wherever the wind may take you, think about checking out AirBnB!!!

Happy staying!!

Day 5: Favorite Movies You Never Get Sick Of Watching

5 Mar

Phew! I’m finally caught up to day 5. Favorite movies. We all have those movies that we can watch over and over. Those go to movies when we’re home sick, it’s a snowy/rainy night, or we want to have a simple Friday or Saturday evening to ourselves and just want to get lost in a movie that we love (and can practically recite over and over again).

I for one am a total girl. I love rom coms and can’t get enough of them. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good serious movie every now and then, but let’s be honest, I’m a single gal and I would rather watch Kate Hudson over Denzel Washington.

So here are my Top 5 in no particular order:

#1~ The Sweetest Thing I could seriously recite this whole movie. I absolutely love it. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate are hilarious and I can honestly say I can relate to this movie.

The Sweetest Thing

#2~ The Holiday Do I even need to explain why this is one of my favorites?? If you haven’t seen it, you must!!

#3 How to Lose a Guy in 10 days ~ I love anything with Kate Hudson (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love Matthew McConaughey)

How to lose a guy in 10 days

#4 The Break- Up Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. Two of my favorites in one movie. Enough said.

#5 Sweet Home Alabama Reese Witherspoon. Period. This movie is hands down, one of my all time favorites.

What are some of your favorite movies?? Did any of them make my top 5?

My Oscar 2013 faves

25 Feb

If you’re anything like me, I was literally glued to the television for hours on end for the preview show on E! beginning at 2 pm ET and followed it all the way through. So with the award seasons coming to a close last night, I thought I’d share my top 10, in no specific order, of my favorites.

#1~ Jennifer Aniston~ Valentino

She will is and will always be one of my favorites.

#2 Jennifer Lawrence ~ Dior Haute Couture

JLaw looking fabulous~ hair, makeup and jewelry are simple and elegant. And I love her even more after her “graceful” walk to accept her Oscar. Shows us she’s human like the rest of us.

#3 Adele~ Jenny Packham

Adele. Enough said. (I do want to know her secret of how her skin always looks so flawless. Could be because she is 11 years younger than me!)

#4 Charlize Theron

Gorgeous. Her features are so striking and she pulls off this short pixie cut perfectly.

#5 Sandra Bullock ~ Elie Saab

I really do like this dress however I would not have had a clutch and would have had my hair differently.

#6 Jennifer Hudson~ Roberto Cavalli

JHud looking gorgeous. This blue looks stunning on her. I love the silhouette of it and it suits her fabulous body.

#7 Kelly Osbourne~ Tony Ward

I love everything about her. Her hair, makeup and dress. She pulls this off flawlessly.

#8 Maria Menounos

East Coast girl looking pretty in pink on the West Coast.

#9 Octavia Spencer~ Tadashi Shoji

I think this was a great choice for her. Light and off the shoulder.

#10 Reese Witherspoon~ Louis Vuitton

What can I say? I want to be her friend. Period.

Favorite new TV show~ For the past two weeks, I have been hooked on a new NBC TV show, Deception. It’s right up there with Revenge for me. You definitely have to check it out!
