1. There’s a new bar + eatery in Santa Monica that just opened yesterday ~ my husband and I checked it out and we think it’s a winner! Check out The Misfit.

2. Issue #4 of Spoonful Zine is out ~ I love this little publication.

3. I love Julie Bartel’s Gypsy Wraps.

4. One of the books in my current rotation (I tend to read 3-5 books at a time) is Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. Loving it!

5. For spoiled dogs in Santa Monica and West Hollywood, there’s no place better than Healthy Spot. P.S. Guess who’s spoiled?
