The Best Plant Shops in Los Angeles
It's officially summer and I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get my hands on some new plant bbs! You can never have too many, right? There's something so fun and exciting about going greenery shopping. Sometimes you go in with a particular plant in mind, but my favorite is when you enter a nursery just looking to browse, and then you spot that perfect bb you just have to take home with you. I've rounded up a few of my fave places to adopt planties in Los Angeles, in case you've been looking for new places to check out.
May Cocktail: Tequila Blooms
Happy Cinco de Mayo! To shake things up a bit, I wanted to make a yummy tekillya drank that isn't a margarita. Even though I lobbb a good marg, it's always fun to try new flavors. I whipped up a delish take on the Mexican Ofrenda cocktail - this melon-y delishness is the perfect blend of fruity and spicy!
Best Houseplants for New Plant Parents
It's hard to imagine, but there was once a time we had zero plants in our home! When we first moved into our place after I graduated college, I really wanted to get some plant babies of my own - but being a first time plant parent I was a little afraid to bite the bullet. What if I killed them? I'd feel awful, not to mention it would be money down the drain.
CicLAvia: Culver City Meets Venice
Los Angeles has this awesome event called CicLAvia where streets are closed down to cars and open for people to walk, skate, bike, play, and explore! Eddie and I try to always go when they have our fave route through Culver City, Mar Vista, and Venice. Apparently, it's the country’s largest open streets event!
March Cocktail: Minty Pear Mojito
Woohoo St. Patrick's Day! Gotta love a day where the color of choice is green. So obvi I wanted to make a green cocktail to celebrate the day, but I wanted it to still be light and fresh, unlike some other drinks of choice on St. Paddy's (I'm lookin at you, green beer :P).
Bringing Home New Greens
I'm so so soooo happy it's been warming up in LA lately - looks like our chilly rainy winter is almost over! Which means I can finally set up and enjoy our lil jungle balcony again. If you haven't read my Boho Balcony post, you can check it out HERE to see how I revamped the space last year. I really love it because it feels like an additional room in our apartment!
