Play :: Show Your Disney Side!
“I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own.” There is just something about walking through the gates at Disneyland that makes me feel like I am 7 years old again! I am usually rushing through the entrance as I can’t wait to ride the roller coasters – Space Mountain is one of our favorites, and take a ride through Pirates of the Carribean for the 100th time. It has been so wonderful sharing Disneyland with my daughter and we have had season passes since she was old enough to walk. Last year my husband…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Organic Designs by Aggelige
There is just something so wonderful about succulents. I love how they fit in almost any type of décor style you might have. A few weeks ago we ran into Aggelige Spanos, the owner of Organic Designs by Aggelige and is just about the cutest shop around located at The Camp in Costa Mesa. Her shop is set up in an old school mobile home filled with an array of succulents. She offers a huge selection of plants that make the perfect gift! We chose this gorgeous terrarium that has a crystal, feathers and rocks that she collects from her nature walks. And for Valentine’s Day – think about giving a live…

Live Music at The Gypsy Den in Santa Ana January 17th
By Molly Murphy As a musician, I’m always on the look out for down to earth, fun music venues, and I was thrilled to find The Gypsy Den in Santa Ana, California. Zagat calls it “Early attic decor and full of arty habitues,” and it is the perfect ambiance for my type of modern folk music. I just finished producing a solo album, “In This Hour” by A Million Creatures. Putting myself out into the public and performing my original songs can make me feel so vulnerable and exposed. But the owners of The Gypsy Den are so supportive of musicians and the staff has been warm and inviting…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: The Hollywood Wax Museum
This past week I had a chance to visit the Hollywood Wax Museum that is located on Hollywood Boulevard and has been run by the same family since 1965. I grew up in Orange County but had not taken the time to visit the Hollywood Wax Museum in all my years! What a waste! My daughter, mother-in-law and I made a day out of it and really had so much fun! The drive up from Orange County was surprisingly hassle-free and we found parking easily next to the Hollywood Wax Museum. It is fun to play tourist for the day because you are exposed to sights you might…
