Seasons are funny in LA. They’re especially bewildering after having spent nearly two decades on the east coast where time is very much marked by the changing temperatures, and periodic closet rotations. I used to know what time of year it was based on my boot and puffy coat accessibility! During my first year here, […]
How about we relish this delicious in-between time that has us enjoying longer days, cooler nights, and…refreshing cocktails?
The perfect transitional cocktail from summer to fall will always be a sangria. You can start using red wine again, but also take advantage of the end of summer berries and mint that are still fresh.
Upgrade your margarita to a Mate-rita with Argentine Yerba Mate.
Winter is coming. The Winter Solstice technically occurs towards the end of next week, but I’m already there. Even though I live in Southern California now, I’m a baby person who can’t handle any sort of weather even bordering on inclement.

The birds are chirping up a storm, blossoms are exploding onto the mean streets of La La Land, and there are hints that the unusually cool winter we’ve had in SoCal is making it’s […]
This past Saturday, I had the incredible opportunity to spend the day with nearly 1000 badass lady entrepreneurs in downtown Los Angeles serving up some Yerba Mate Tea Cocktails with Argentinian Yerba Mate. Create & Cultivate, in its 6th year, is an uber hip conference, networking event, and lady fair for women looking to build […]

Their most recent launch is another first of its kind, a line of organic teas infused with botanicals and fruit juice blended with premium beers called, The Owl’s Brew […]
Piña Coladas are one of those guilty pleasures that pretty much EVERYONE likes. Unless you are allergic to pineapples or coconut or fun, DO NOT TELL ME YOU DON’T LIKE A PIÑA COLADA.
