OC is a land of fast pace, high style and much to do. Here on the site, I take a look at different happenings around town from Events for all to Style, Green and Health. I also review the latest and greatest in gear and wear. I update stories once a week—not once a day—to give you time to pop by and soak up some spotllighted OC or undiscovered Orange County.
Everything here is a firsthand account. I don’t write about things I don’t experience. So know it’s all legit, and an eclectic array of topics to keep you on your toes. And if you have a worthy OC happening or hidden gem, get in touch with me so I can share the OC info possibly. Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by. And I’ll see ya ‘round the OC, Orange County, behind the Orange Curtain, however you want to say it—and often beyond the OC borders too.
the back story
I’ve been living in OC for 20 years, have been a career writer for almost as long. I write for SoCal magazines, sites and blogs – and have co-hosted shows on local TV (examples on YouTube). You can also find me at CBSLA.com, bask Magazine, writing at OC Family Magazine, as well as on their blog. And I’m also online at DebbieLavdas.com where I write brand advertising for my OC and national clients.
