For a great Girl’s Night Out, I picked a favorite top five for CBS Los Angeles. Click over for the read detailing evenings out at the oceanfront Rooftop patio to all-in-one posh salon pamper parties to side-by-side hot stone massages, as well as some urban-meets-boho dining and a refined time at the theatre. It’s a perfect mix of mojitos, mani…
If you’re still wondering what it’s like to do SUP, get on it and get a paddle in the water. It’s so much easier than you think (in the harbor, not the ocean). And if you have done SUP, but maybe not at sunset, you’re missing out and you must try it. Pirate Coast PC is a great group of…

The temps are up, the search for swimwear is on, and Macy’s has hot looks just in. I previewed the Macy’s 2012 Swim Fashion Collection and among my top picks are this chic Kenneth Cole Reaction Cover Up. I love the printed tunic style, the bright colors and boatneck design. And I have to say, it’s scored me many compliments…
