From Palm Springs we made our way to The Joshua Tree National Park, which took just under an hour. As we ventured further in land passed the desert springs, the Joshua Trees started to scatter the sides of the road, firstly the odd one or two then there was a forest of them. We parked […]
A couple of hours drive from Los Angeles, and with the roads becoming (a little) smaller and the back drop changing from city to desert, the mercury slowly rising, the heat becoming drier and with mountains in view, we arrived in Palm Springs, the oasis in the desert! Back in the Golden years of Hollywood […]
The first day of May and the sun is shining, albeit it is still a little on the cold side, it is lovely to see a blue sky and the beginnings of a warm Summer approaching. With this is the hope that my Summer dress purchases for the heat of the South West of America, […]
After a pretty dreamy sleep in the oh so comfy bed at The Rose Hotel, Venice, we had a wander along the beach before jumping in the car, heading to Hollywood to the Griffin Observatory. This was the one place I knew I wanted to go and see this time in Los Angeles and any […]

Now this will not come as a surprise to you lovely lot that read my posts, but I am a fan of a beauty product, shocker! This can range from a ridiculous love of lip balms, fancy to non fancy, face creams, sleep spray, hair oils, deep conditioners, and that is without even delving into […]
Every now and then you come across a very special little find, a place that is just rather you and you feel all happy, smug and gooey ( see what I did there) inside and when that place is local to you and pretty much on your door step you also do a little cartwheel […]
Just when we thought that the light of Spring was saying a warm hello, with daffodils filling the house, lighter mornings, lighter evenings, bulbs springing up on window sills and in gardens of those organised types (obvs not mine I’m more of a threat than the coldest of cold when it comes to greenery) and […]
