Random Things I am Loving

So this post was suppose to have been up yesterday...but for some reason Blogger was not uploading my photos (oh poo!) Anyway, hope everyone had a relaxed weekend. Here are some random things I was up to this weekend and a couple of pretties I threw in that are on my mind.


Fresh squeezed orange juice using my dad's old (very old) juicer. I remember my dad would make us fresh juice in the morning when I was itty bitty :-)

Paired with fresh wheat grass....so refreshing and healthy.

Organic peaches and apples given to me by my awesome aesthetician after my oh-so-needed 2 hour facial. Love Eugenia...she is a lovely Polish lady with the cutest accent.

Isn't this Mayle Florinda embroidered dress so cute and chic? Love it, not so much the price :-(

My beautiful crosses from Artie over at Color Outside the Lines. Check out his blog, love it.

Some more beautiful bottles Artie sent me. These found a home in my bathroom :-)

I am head-over-heels over this room. Go-Gorgeous!!!! Loving the colors. {via Interiors Magazine}

And this weekend, I got the bug to start painting again (thanks to my hun who also got the bug to paint) I used to love painting when I was younger, but for some reason just stopped. I wanted to use the colors from above. Swirls, swirls, swirls=fun and therapeutic ;-)

With summer just around the corner, it's time to pull out all of my white clothes. I love wearing all white...and will pair it with a pop of color such as my bright orange bag or a bright and bold necklace.

Spent my Sunday afternoon with my mom in Belmont Shore and of course I had to stop by my favorite place in the whole wide world....STARBUCKS. And I treated myself to a chocolate chip cookie..yum yum.

Ended my weekend with a little tug-a-war game with Jack. Goodness Gracious is he strong!!!



What are some random pretties on your mind right now?

Happy week!

Courtney Cox's Home in Malibu

Courtney's new Malibu home was featured in the July/August issue of ELLE Decor. The beautiful modern barn style home sits on 2 acres in private Malibu. The house includes a tennis court, guest house, salt water pool...to name a few. Here are the photos of Courtney Cox' home featured in ELLE Decor. It is beautifully modern and clean, but with a touch of old world charm and vintage finds. And I love the unexpected quirky-ness she adds to it as well. There is nothing like a little humor. Enjoy!

Hope everyone enjoyed the tour of Courtney Cox's gorgeous home.
Off to a new week, have a good one.

Star sightings...well BRAVO t.v. stars that is

What can I say....I love L.A. Peter and I were both born and raised in Los Angeles and never ever get tired of exploring the city. We often drive around different neighborhoods, cruise up and down the Pacific Coast, make our way through winding canyon roads, all while making stops at Starbucks on the way (can't live without my Starbucks) :-) So with all of this exploring, of course, we are bound to bump into a few celebs here and there right? Well, maybe not Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie (at least not yet). But those reality show stars?? Not so hard to find.

Such as Lisa VanderPump....STUNNING in person. I mean, this woman is FABULOUS!!!! Want to see her? Just go to her restaurant, Villa Blanca (recommend the Salmon salad, Delish!!) she is there all of the time.


Last year, I was at the Grove in L.A. having dinner at La Piazza and turn around to the table behind me because some darn rowdy kids were getting on my nerves...hm, well I recognized them roudy kids (ya know, cute little Blondie girl and adorable mini-afro boy) and immediately scanned the table for.......yup, Heidi Klum. Gorgeous!!!

Last week, while lunching in West Hollywood, we see....ugh, Chad Rogers. So annoying on the show, never liked him and always said I would go up to him and mess up his hair if I ever saw him. Lucky for him, he was driving away. LOL Same day, different place, we see his girlfriend. What is her name??? Oh yes, Cakes.

And a few months ago, outside a Starbucks in Malibu we run into MADISON also of Million Dollar Listing!!! LOVE Madison!!! He was super sweet and skinny haha.


SO, yesterday as we explored the West side, we get lost in Brentwood and end up in a narrow winding road in very residential Pacific Palisades that we knew would take us back to Santa Monica. Beautiful area. I'm admiring the houses and the peek-a-boo ocean views. Then, I see Jeffery Alan Marks and his sexy model boyfriend Ross.....


of Million Dollar Decorators.
They were heading back home from walking their dog and we saw them right as they were getting to their house. Peter wanted to stop and say hi and tell them how much of a fan I was of the show, but I pleaded and begged Peter not to. I hate bothering people and am super shy. But Peter?? Oh no, he wants to talk to everyone (hence how I got the picture with Madison, I got super embarrassed there and wanted to crawl under a rock lol). I think Jeffery and Ross noticed the break lights and us looking back that they ran in to their house, or so I think, because they disappeared rather quickly LOL.

Anyway, I love that I can now picture where they live and that this is what they walked (or ran) into. Isn't is just so beautifully natural and peaceful?? Enjoy!!
