HAPPY FEET

As you may already know, the San Gabriel Valley is full of $15-20, one hour foot massage places.  There are so many places that it’s hard to figure out where to go.  This article covers a few spots.  I’ve  recently visited, two times, a place with the unfortunate name of Exotic Spa, but I was [...]

Discovery of the Day – Mussels for $5.40

I stumbled upon a $5.40 super treat while in K-town today.  At Han Kook market when you enter, the restaurant to the right has delicious mussels in a white creamy sauce sprinkled with orange fish eggs and chives (excuse my non-foodie language, I really don’t know the names for these things).  It’s similar to a [...]

Yoko Ono in Pasadena

I can’t wait to make it over to this!  I love Yoko Ono’s art and the hopefulness and whimsicality in it.

I heart the Goodwill / Govinda’s

I read somewhere that one way to be environmentally conscious is to buy recycled clothes, as in thrift store shopping. Could me boycotting The Gap really make that much of a difference?  For the past week, I have been looking for inexpensive, thin, 100% cotton, long sleeved shirts for traveling to India.  I scoured many [...]

No, Chicago, you’ve got it wrong.

I killed a few hours today at the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL and was so excited to see a shop called "Chill Bubble Tea."  I have gone 1.5 weeks without a honey green tea with boba and I thought this was my big chance.  No dice.  This store’s signature item seems to be smoothies [...]

Ni Hao!

The Midwestern town I am staying in is 88% white.  I was walking in a beautiful park here, enjoying the moist, cool, fresh air, and had one ear listening to This American Life.  Then it happened.  A white male, probably in his 30s, smiled at me and said, "Ni Hao!"  Welcome to the Midwest, I [...]

I’m becoming a member!

I visited the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library and Gardens this weekend.  OMG, it is so heavenly – a huge lake with bridges, a cafe, ducks, pavillions, outdoor seating, poetry, art….  It really is grand and a great escape. Taking a few walking laps around the Chinese Garden will be my new exercise routine.  [...]
