By: Chelsea It’s time to get outta town. I love Los Angeles, but sometimes I need to feel space. Surrounded by concrete and bumper to bumper traffic, an open road and ocean are the contrasts I am craving. So my boyfriend and I packed up a breakfast picnic and hit the road for a PCH … Continue reading »
By: Chelsea On Monday morning I opened my fridge and found that I had a lot of leftover vegetables that had been purchased with good intent of eating.
