1969 Peace Corps "Glass"

Good find - cred to Tag me with a Spoon which should be mandatory reading!

Love this Line and the Creative Force Behind it!

Funnel Mill

While running around Santa Monica yesterday I somehow managed to more or less remember the name and location of Funnel Mill, a boutique coffee and tea shop. We stopped to check it out...this is really not the place to swing through for a quick cup of coffee or tea. It is a great spot to bring your laptop, drink a delicious beverage and chill.

TGIF & great weekend to all!

Minty

I am obsessed with mint tea (and probably food/drink in general). More often then not this requires me to run to the SMFM first thing Wednesday mornings to grab a bunch or two of the Moroccan Mint Leaves from Coleman Farms. No joke, I don't arrive before 9a its gone! And trust me Moroccan mint leaves makes a big difference!! Coleman also happens to have the BEST lettuce - all varieties....

Today I found this shot on Vie's page - cups and cups of what looks will be the most delicious mint tea....OOO!

Rodarte 'States of Matter' at the MOCA-PDC Museum....coming in March. The exhibit will feature pieces from Collections from 2008-2010.

The sisters had a little soiree last year showcasing their SIC shoes (colab with N Kirwood) at Mona Moore that I was lucky to attend. I was not lucky enough to receive a free pair of shoes!!!

To Read

I tend to go through phases; reading mainly magazines, reading books not magazines and then there is not reading at ALL phase! Since I am trying to regularly volunteer through 826LA - check out this AMAZING organization if you don't already know it! I'm trying to amp up the reading books category.

A recent purchase....

Conspiracy For Good - 2010

Another Boulder < LAX refugee was the Head Writer and Ex Producer for this campaign. Bravo!

A Hornet and a King

Last night I went to a screening of The Green Hornet. Apparently, the movie is coming out in 3D when it opens in January. However, the screening was not? Without giving anything away (hate when people do that!)

A few comments....

I went in knowing zero about this film, so when I read the credits rolled, I was shocked to learn it was directed by Michel Gondry. Shocked mainly because it seemed sooo mainstream for him!

All the guys around me laughed throughout the entire film.

This is the type of movie you have to see on a big screen.

I also saw The King's Speech this week. Incredible, I loved the way it was shot and Colin Firth was spectacular, way to commit to a role. Helena B Carter and Geoffrey Rush are fabulous as well!

TGIF peeps!

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

I gave this product a try. I was amazed that you take this product that has the consistency of paste and rub it in your hands for a second and it immediately turns into an oil. Although it did not seem to absorb in my hair that well, it more or less stayed on top and did not seem to penetrate, so I wasn't sure how well it would work. I washed it out per the instructions, shampooed (is that even a word!) and put in conditioner. All in all my hair feels soft but not so sure of the nutty almost ashy smell. Maybe be a little to earthy for me, and this coming from years of living in Boulder where the term earthy is really put to the test.

If you buy the Ojon Hair Treatment from Sephora right now a portion of the proceeds goes towards helping to fight breast cancer - click here

I can't believe I missed...

National Cupcake day - December 15th!! Even though LA is overflowing with cupcake shops I have to say, Joan's on Third holds the title. And yes I have been to Magnolia, Sprinkes, you name it....Joan's really has it all, consistently good salads, sandwiches, YUMMMMM!!!!!

Boots or Boots

Do I want these Quoddy Boots?

Winner - Ms Valenzuela!

It got me to run!

I went to a screening of The Fighter last night! It was terrific and personally it motivated me to start to move my body more! I was surpised to see Darren Aronofsky, ya know - the director of Black Swan, is the Executive Producer.

In case you haven't heard, Black Swan is a must see!!

I try to run a 4-5 days a week and my schedule this week has made it especially hard. I should mention, I H.A.T.E running in the early morning. My body is not ready and I like to run when it warms up. Not this morning, I've already gotten my run in and credit 100% goes to The Fighter.

Have a great weekend!

Hammer + Eva Hesse

http://hammer.ucla.edu/
Over the weekend I took advantage of the http://hammer.ucla.edu/ - Celebrating their 20th Anniversary with 20 days of free admission. I was particularly interested in the Eva Hesse collection. It was wonderful and while not my favorite piece I included a piece above. A visit the permanent contemporary collection is a good bet too!

Neglect

I must be honest with myself, my blog has been utterly neglected. So I am committing to 5 posts a week now until the end of the year.

Here goes...
