The Annual Ojai Valley Lavender Festival was last weekend at Libbey Park. Always such a lovely town to visit – especially if you’re a big spa, hiking, golf or antiquing fan. The event featured everything from lavender candles, lotions and scrubs to lavender cookies, jam and ice cream. Myself, I left with a sterling silver ring made from an antique spoon and an almond oil body … Continue reading Ojai Lavender Fest
These days, there are a handful of options on the menu at any given nail salon. If you break it down though, there are only two types of manicures we really want – a Quickie so-to-speak or an Escape. More often than not, we just need to get in, get lacquered and get on our way.
Other times, we just need to get away. Let us sit back, ignore our iPhones and remain physically unable to be any place else – for at least an hour. For these occasions, make an appointment at Feve’s Manicure Affair in the valley.
Like a perfect Hollywood script, the Los Angeles Lakers fought to pull it out in the fourth tonight. Our LAKERS are the NBA Champions once again! And by default, we are champions, too.
We are the fans. We don’t even make contact with the ball and yet somehow we feel we’ve got some influence over the game. Their wins are ours to celebrate; their losses are ours to mourn.
And to anyone who says Los Angeles’ fans are fair-weather, you clearly were not at tonight’s game.
(It’s fair to say that L.A. effs up every celebration with idiotic violence & vandalism though. Honestly, what is wrong with us???)
Why is Dad always such a question mark when it comes to gift giving? Either he insists he doesn’t want a thing, already has everything or is just impossibly picky. This year, make it easy on both of you and go the practical route…
Give Dad the gift of golf. Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is offering some specially-priced packages for Father’s Day this year. Get him a one-hour golf lesson with a PGA Golf Pro, a round of golf for two in 2010, or the Ojai Ultimate Father’s Day Package – including five rounds of golf, an hour lesson with a PGA pro, club fitting session and product-filled resort gift bag.
The gorgeous 18-hole course plays 6,292 yards with a par 70, rating of 71.0 and a slope of 132.
PERSONAL NOTE: This writer would rather watch paint dry than play a round of golf, but this course is so stunning that I’ve been tempted to pick up a club on more than one visit. (Of course, I resisted temptation and continued on my way to find bliss at the resort’s spa…but that’s not the point.)

Just a quick plea from one avid fan, to the Lakers and the vast space that is this Internet…
Please Lakers, please… go out there and KILL IT TONIGHT. Play like the championship team you are. Play like the champions L.A. needs you to be.
This city could use some heroes right about now.
Seeing Kobe out there playing on behalf of his entire team is actually heartbreaking for your fans. Not because we aren’t awestruck by every impossible hoop he sinks – WE ARE – but because watching one man (even the Black Mamba) try to compete with enough passion and heart for an entire team is simply gut wrenching.
