ATTENTION ALL VEGETARIANS!!!! I have found the gold mine! If you are looking for great food and are willing to take a bit of a drive then you have to give Veggie Grill a try. Veggie Grill has 4 locations with 2 in Orange County and 2 in L.A. If you're headed down to the beach then stop by the location in El Sagundo, not only will you find helpful service from the employees but also a chill environment and mouth watering food make this place a must for all vegan/ vegetarians. Trust me i know from experience! And if you want to eat with loved ones who aren't vegetarians i guarantee they will love this place just as much as you, just ask my constantly hungry boyfriend! The must try in my opinion is the Carne Asada burger... But don't forget to ask for avocado and a side of the sweetheart fries!

Be Bikini Beautiful


Beauty Tip: Prepping your self for a hot day on the beach is a great way to help you look and feel like the goddess you are. First things first, PROTECT YOUR SKIN with SPF before you head to the beach or are in any direct sunlight. Make sure to cover yourself from head to toe every two hours. Protect your hair with some leave in conditioner and color protectant because the suns strong rays can dry and fade out your hair. For a nice bikini line get a wax done, or if you shave hydrate the area with lotion. Make sure to stay hydrated. Drink lots of water and eat fruits. Final step ladies! ACCESSORIZE throw on a sunhat, sunglasses, bangled bracelets, and some SPF lipbalm and your ready for a fun day in the sun!

Show off those PEARLY WHITES


Beauty Tip: Nobody likes stained teeth, especially when the rest of you looks amazing. So here are a couple home remedies that can help whiten those chompers without chewing up and spitting out your wallet. FIRST try some lemon juice; add a couple drops to your toothbrush, scrub thoroughly and with time you will definitely notice a difference. If those results aren't fast enough for you then you could always try sprinkling some baking soda on your toothpaste and gently scrubbing. Careful not to scrub too hard you don't want to bruise your gums! And don't forget to DRINK WATER after meals or sugary drinks! This is a great way to combat tooth discoloration by simply swirling the water around in your mouth to make sure the junk wont build up on the surface of your teeth thus causing stains! Now go show off that Colgate Smile!

Shhh... It's a SECRET!!


Beauty Tip: If you're sick and tired of going to bed with that beautiful glossy and shaped hairstyle then waking up with it looking like something out of a horror film, then here's the tip for you... SILK! Due to the fact that cotton dries out and undoes that sexy up-do try to use silk scarves, bonnets, rollers and pillowcases at night. Silk will keep the curl and shape of your precious locks intact. Sweet Dreams!

Skinny BITCH


Beauty Tip: "Stop being a moron and start getting skinny! If you can't take one more day of self-loathing, you're ready to hear the truth: you cannot keep shoveling the same crap in your mouth every day and expect to lose weight." Yes, this book tells it how it is. So if your trying to look your best this summer and look great in that bathing suit this is a must have. Rory and Kim, the writers of this book, will tell you everything from nutrition to behind the scenes of the meat industry. A great book to help you not be on a diet but start a completely new lifestyle, the skinny bitch lifestyle.

Ever want to hit the beach but also want to see some peculiar things along the way? Then unless you've been living under a rock, you know the Place to be is Venice Beach! You can see a wide range of spectacles from hippie protesters to roided up muscles heads or just watch some good ol' fashioned drama on the B-ball courts. And if that type of thing doesn't get you interested there's a wide variety of "novelty" shops along the way to enjoy. There is never a lack of entertainment of some sort on the Venice boardwalk.

one HOTT ASS!



BE A HOTT SEX ICON!


Hey boys here's some fashion advice for you! V-necks, button-ups, and simple plain t-shirts are totally in this summer. Pair it up with some Banana Republic Jeans some aviators and you will be one hott piece of ass! Another new hot trend is the faux-hawk this is definitely a great look you're bound to make girls head turn! So good luck trying to keep those new jeans on! ;)

Showin' some LEG!!!

Time to hit the gym ladies because the Summer is here and hemlines are becoming shorter than short. Hot pants, boy shorts, and tap pants are all a prime example of this new RISING & SEXY trend! So get those legs and bums tone then head over to any of your favorite designer stores to get the pair that will accentuate your lower half the exact way you want!

Beauty is in the EYE


Beauty Tip: If you're having problems with scantly grown eyebrows or lashes then throw some pure castrol oil on those bad boys and watch them grow thick and long. If your problem is more under the eyes then get your hands on some grated cucumber by itself, or mix it with carrot juice, and spread it under the eye to reduce those nasty black circles and sagging skin.

Soft Touch


Beauty tip: If your looking for soft and touchable hands then look no further than your pantry because that's where you can find all the ingredients to smoother healthier looking skin. Mix two tablespoons of olive oil with two tablespoons of brown sugar. Apply the mixture on your hands and rub it in until the sugar dissolves completely. Next, wash your hands with warm water and you will instantly see the difference.

A different kind of library!

As much as i LOVE the hustle & bustle of L.A. sometimes its nice to just relax in a complete serene environment and i have found one of the best places to do so.

One watch at a TIME

Throwing on a watch is a great way to accessorize. Not only does it come in handy to tell time but it can also empasize an outfit and say alot about the person wearing it. Find your favorite designer picks at your nearest Macy's, Nordstrom, or any other top of the line department store.
