We're so privledged to live in L.A. that it is easy to take it for granted. I enjoy pretending I am a tourist every now and then so I can remember how lucky we truly are.

Grand Central Market L.A.
Every so often, I enjoy playing "Tourist" in my own city. By that, I mean I take the day "off" of work to pretend I am a tourist in Los Angeles.
I am always stunned to find that despite living in Los Angeles for almost 30 years, there are places, restaurants, and attractions I have yet to experience!
Yesterday, I visited the Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. This is a hidden gem tucked in the middle of the jewelry district.
I would highly recommend all the foodies out there to make it a priority to visit. Visiting this attraction just reminds me in fact, how culturally diverse Los Angeles is! You have the option to try Thai, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Italian to name the few in one place!
There's delicious coffee, a beer garden, spices, and even candy to purchase! You can learn more about the Grand Central Market here.
We ended our day visiting the beautiful Vista Hermosa National Park that I shared on my website a few months ago. You can learn all about the hidden park in L.A. here.

Culture Committee
Very excited & honored to be head of the Culture Committee for my office this year. My colleague, Natalie, and I planned our entire 2018 activities for the year.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Buying a Home in your 20’s
What is stopping you from living your best life ever?
When planning to purchase a home, be sure to create a list of home "needs and wants." This will allow you to visualize what you want in a home, and then determine what's most important to you.
Terranea Resort
For today’s tourist in my own city, I visited the beautiful Terranea Resort.
This resort has been filmed in many movies including Pirates of the Caribbean, has delicious restaurants, coffee shops, a golf course, and has breathtaking views of the ocean.
The best part? It’s just a short drive from SoCal cities., yet feels worlds away from the busy 405 freeway.
I'd highly recommend this resort for all ages. If you're hungry, you'll enjoy the many restaurant choices they offer including Nelson's, Bashi, and Catalina Kitchen.
Full? You can build an appetite with a round of golf on their nine-hole course that totals approximately 1,239 yards from the back tees.
You won't be able to beat the coastal view.
A fun fact may not know is that it was once Marine Land (Think Sea World).
I'd give Terranea Resort a solid 4.5 stars for its beautiful scenery and delicious restaurants. I'd recommend reviewing the restaurant options in advance as some may think it is too pricey.
BOWLero
Have you ever walked around your own city and pretended you were a tourist? You’d be surprised how much there is to see and how little you probably know about the place you live. That’s why I’m excited to bring #touristinmyowncity back to my blog. It’s important to take time away from work and just enjoy LIFE.
I will be featuring a local place, restaurant, or nature trail weekly on my blog with a review. Today I visited Bowlero Torrance and was so amazed by the complete remodel.
Make sure you check out the neat arcade that even has Mario Cart, Candy Crush, and Pac Man! If you've had a long day, you wouldn't mind visiting their full-bar with a wood-burning fireplace and pool table.
The alley plays fun, upbeat music and even has TV projectors above every lane! The screens play funny videos, news, and music videos.
It is a great place to host an event, meet with friends after work, go on a date, or family.
Hungry? Consider their five-pound hamburger. This enormous burger will feed 5 of your friends & more!
I will rate this bowling alley 5 stars for its cleanliness, friendly staff, delicious food, and the wide selection of games, bowling balls, and music.
