DIY Easter Baskets!
We’re very excited to be celebrating Easter this weekend, and I thought it would only be right to make some Easter Baskets for the kiddies. I made 2 Easter baskets for my friends nieces. I know they will be so happy opening up all the goodies inside.
To my surprise, my dear friends Trisha & Paula, gave me an Easter basket today. It’s been a long time since I’ve received such a sweet gift, and I absolutely adore it.
Here's the awesome Easter basket from Trisha & Paula. See's candies!
And, here are the ones I made for the little girls…
These baskets are filled with the super popular Zhu Zhu Pets, Easter eggs, jelly beans, Hersheys chocolate, M&M’s, Hello Kitty photo frame, Easter themed notepad, and a cute little chick.
My Pink FLOR tiles just arrived.
I’m getting ready for a very special event coming up, and my pink FLOR tiles just arrived. So happy!
A lovely weekend cruising the Newport Beach Harbor.
In honor of Irene’s birthday, we were all treated to a lovely cruise around the Newport Harbor. The weather was sunny, warm, and just perfect for cruising the waters in the Duffy.
Upon departing from the dock, our captain side swiped the boat next to us. Unfortunately, it was a boat full of older people, so they were pretty shocked. Whoooopsy!
When our captain finally got comfortable, we started to do donuts in the boat. hahhaa. Just to let you know, JP was our captain! At one point during our cruise, the coast guard was tailing us. It was probably because we pulled a donut, and didn’t realize they were right behind us. Oh, the joys of cruising and boozing. Not the captain of course!
Pretty view from the waiting area @ Duffy rentals.
We took one of these bad boys out to sea. Ok, well not all the way out!
A quickie field trip to Cho Sun Galbee!
We snuck off to have dinner at Cho Sun Galbee, to get our kbbq fix. As always, I had the Naeng Myun, and JP had Galbee. We <3 their ban chan’s. Yum!
Delish ban chan.
New Toy Alert!
Say hello to this beauty. We’re happy to welcome the MB Pro 15″. Fuego will now have 2 computers to blog from. heheeh.
Fresh out of the box.
We're one happy Apple family!
Start off the day right…
With a cup of fresh juice, in my favorite muggy mug.
hahah, that's the super old HIN logo. A lil piece of nostalgia.
Fun way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Trisha and I hopped on our cruisers and headed towards Santa Monica pier. Along the way, we stopped off at the skate park to check it out. Only in California, would you have a skate park, overlooking the ocean. What a gorgeous view!
5 miles to Santa Monica Pier, then 5 miles back home. It was refreshing. Can’t wait for summer!
The new skate park @ Venice Beach.
How I Clear My Mind.
Lounging by the pool, is the ultimate relaxation activity for me. I can get my exercise, de-clutter my thoughts, and spend some time reading magazines.
On St. Patty’s day, I saw a group of people play beer pong in the pool. It was fun watching them get drunk.
Beer Pong!
Fish Condo
When I was a lil girl, I remember getting all giddy, when I got a chance to bring home a new fish. Naturally, they were all named “fishy”. hhahaha.
Here’s a new modern twist on fish living, design by Teddy Luong.

Vintage @ Whole Foods
Spotted this ultra vintage ride @ WF. Not sure what the make/model of this car is, but it sure is looking snazzy.
Spring Flowers.
Spring is officially here, and I’m feeling energized. Did some grocery shopping and picked up a bouquet of mini spray roses, and decided to make a couple of arrangements for the home. These jewel toned mini roses are just lovely.
Pretty flowers in my office area.
I arranged some for the living room as well.
Strawberry Kit Kat.
Looky what I found!
My home office view!
Looks like a milli view to me!
The great part about my place is that Fuego is my door pup. He’ll always welcome you with a warm greeting, and show you around the place. He’ll also keep you company. =)
My new Design Within Reach (DWR) filing cabinet!
Say hello my latest addition to our home. In previous posts, I was looking for cool furniture to create a modern and cute home office area for my business. I found this gorgeous Design Within Reach (DWR) white lacquer filing cabinet, which matches with the rest of our furniture in the house.
This beauty is in immaculate condition. Retailed for $500! I have no problem with recycling furniture, as I have passed along some of my prized possessions to friends and family too.
Looky, Fuego is in the background. Heheeh
Time to pick up some pretty file folders to go inside!

Capital City x Kitchen 24.
1st time to Capitol City on Cahuenga for bday party last Friday, and had a blast! I think by day it’s a sports bar, but at night its more of a lounge. Yelpers gave it some horrible reviews, but the place seemed pretty cool to me. It probably depends on the night. Afterwards, JP and walked across the street to get some quick eats at Kitchen 24. It’s open 24 hrs, hence the name, Kitchen 24.
Really good food, not your typical Denny’s food fare. There’s a full bar and even a DJ spinning some good music. I was there about 1am, and there was a line out the door. Great place to kick it after a night out.
The bday festivities were on the 2nd floor loft area. You can see the 1st floor and out to the street from up here. Pretty cool.
MmMmm, drinks! Only the champagne was mine...I swear!
Whoa! It looks like the cake is like really on fire.
Ok, so seconds after snapping this photo, I went for it. I tried smashing him into the cake. =( It was the champagne that made me do it. Don't worry, no one was hurt!
Lucked out and grabbed the last 2 seats @ the bar. Yes, it's a full bar at Kitchen 24!
Any place that has "Ho Cakes" on the menu, is a-okay to me!
I turned around snapped a pic of the front entrance. Pretty packed!
See, up above the bar, there's a DJ spinning some good music. Sorry for the crappy photo.
More on Vajazzle!
After checking some stats on my bloggy, I noticed a ton of you had interest in my vajazzle posting. Well, here’s a youtube vid I found about vajazzling! If you’re like me, it’s always nice to put a visual to it. We all have Jennifer Love Hewitt to thank for this new word, and apparently it has started a little trend. So here you go.
Must See, Alice in Wonderland in 3D!!!
Planning on watching AIW this weekend, or maybe I should save it for a week day! If you saw it already, let me know if you love it!
