While driving home from Ventura this weekend TDH and I stopped along the 101 to pick up veggies and fruit for the week. We spent a few dollars on cucumbers, apples and delicious strawberries. The kale is from our backyard (garden update coming soon). We use a Breville Compact Juice Fountain, it’s held up for[…]
A few pictures from around our little Bird Rock Ranch this month. Our greenhouse is thriving! We are trying every and any recipe to use up our abundance of squash (the plant is longer than our house!) We have two chickens, an Amercuana and a black and white speckled mutt we call the Queen. I[…]

I invited all the girls over to celebrate the holidays, sip Cava and shop our Borelli Scarves. I’m considering it[…]
I visited a friend a few months ago in the always gorgeous Malibu. First stop, lunch at Dukes Barefoot Bar while watching the masters of SUP. Check out the amazing house he was staying at.
