I’m in love with California! …And sorry this is a day late. Shauna, Kat and I spent yesterday at Disneyland with the babes from Made U Look, and by the time we got home, we could barely speak, let alone put together coherent blog posts!

But we did, of course, have an incredible day. Can you believe Kat had never been before?! It was our birthday treat — she turns 29 on Sunday! The weather was perfect, we wore matching silver ears, and we slurped frozen apple juice as we walked around the park. Going on The Haunted Mansion restores my faith in the universe. Happiest place on Earth, for real!

It has been so wonderful to spend a week in L.A., where the food is fresh and health-conscious, the people are bizarre and beautiful, and the weather is incomparable. Getting a bit of sun on these pale New York shoulders has felt so good. Just what I needed. All three of us head back home on Tuesday, but we’re already discussing our next trip…

After an action-packed week, we’re taking it easy today (and I’m going to do my best to drag the girls into an infrared sauna later this afternoon!). Tomorrow, we kick off The Blogcademy: Los Angeles, and we are AMPED! We can’t wait to meet a whole new slew of smiling faces!

J’adore… Rainbow Instax film! OBSESSED! Cute text messages and photos from my husband California sunshine Turning Kat into a green juice addict Umamicatessen with Amy and Kevin Tender Greens in Hollywood: L.A. does kale RIGHT! TopShop at The Grove (and their personal shopping service) Roaming the aisles at Trader Joe’s Buying bunches of fresh flowers for our loft Maxi skirts and crop tops Wearing big hats Neon dresses and crazy prints Scouting out all the raw food places in the area The Museum of Death (totally weird, totally recommended) $20 Barbie pink gel manicures (!!!) Introducing Kat to RuPaul’s Drag Race! Pink crystal skulls Trying to explain the magician obsession… And failing Watching Marilyn Manson’s Californication episode Doing very painful Boscia face masks (but seeing the benefits the next day!) DISNEYLAND! Captain EO (Shauna makes us go every time) Christina, Alie and Marielle Deep sleep!

Love and sunshine,
