Winter In Catalina Island – A Real Life Christmas Movie
My boyfriend and I chose the cute, quaint, magical island of Catalina to spend our 2-year anniversary. It was absolutely magical in every way. Winter in Catalina is a real-life Christmas movie. I swear I said “we are in a Hallmark movie” about 20 times. Our anniversary falls on December 19th. So it was nice and chilly, and smack in the middle of Christmas season. Which turned out to be for the best. We arrived Saturday, December 18th, and left Monday, December 20th. A short amount of time but a time I’ll never forget. Let me show you everything we did from start to finish! And please enjoy a few…

Spencer’s Restaurant – Palm Springs
Spencer’s Restaurant – Palm Springs Spencer’s Restaurant is the most magical, beautiful spot to have a romantic date in Palm Springs. With big fairytale like trees outside with balls of twinkling light hanging from them, it creates the sort of feel that you’re in an enchanted forest. Will you see Hansel and Gretel? Maybe the witch’s cottage around the corner? Who knows! All you need is some Hans Zimmer humming in the background. Not only is the ambience magical, the food is too. Even better, they have plenty of gluten-free modifications that are clearly marked on the menu. Their outdoor seating is my preference, due to the dreaminess of…

Bâtard – Elegant New York City Restaurant
Bâtard in New York City This Lower Manhattan restaurant is simply elegant. Bâtard’s simplicity and minimal décor is in fact more beautiful than you would expect. The walls are golden yellow that glow with lights and really is the staple look of Bâtard. Small, detailed white vines with leaves trail the walls which is a pretty touch. In fact, I kept commenting on the walls while there. The Story Behind Bâtard There is a historical backstory for me with regards to Bâtard. In the 1980’s, my father was a bartender at the prestigious 24 Fifth Avenue restaurant with renowned Chef Michel Fitoussi. Two of my father’s friends who managed 24…

It’s chic and stylish and stands out against the many other buildings around. There is outdoor dining that is kind…
