Knott’s Berry Farm HANGTIME Roller Coaster Defies Gravity!
HangTime, the first and only dive coaster in California, is now open at Knott’s Berry Farm! HangTime towers 150 feet over the Boardwalk area showcasing a beyond vertical drop, gravity-defying inversions, and mid-air suspensions. This week I was invited to attend the Knott’s Berry Farm HangTime Preview Party on behalf of Belair Mommie because she was too chicken to go. I joke, but after riding both the Xcelerator The Ride® AND the surf-themed rollercoaster HangTime – the first and only dive coaster in California, I can’t blame her. For those who love a thrill ride you are in for a treat! I’ve never experienced a ride like that – ever! It feels…

One of the features I love about the area we live in is the diverse restaurants that are at every corner.

Charlize Theron in Tully will pull at your heartstrings – out in theaters May 4th.
Two weeks ago I was invited to a “Moms Night Out” party hosted by Refinery 29 and Focus Features and early screening of Tully – a new comedy from Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (“Juno”). Marlo (Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron) by Focus Features. Charlize plays a mother of three including a newborn and is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Mark Duplass).

This is the premise of the movie but oh boy, is it a…

In the Spotlight: Girl Boss Michelle Nutz of ALKALI Beauty Products
Michelle has been my hairdresser since way back in the day! My husband likes to joke and says he is the reason we met which is sort of true. He came back after getting his haircut at a salon across from our apartment and told me about a cool young woman who just arrived from South Africa. He thought we’d get along. Well, I guess he was right since I have been seeing Michelle since the late 90’s and only once veered off to go to a woman who would dye my hair brown since I knew she wouldn’t! True story. I had to come back with my head hung…
