The most accurate description of Burning Man is a dirt cleanse. At its most literal interpretation, dust is a really decent dry shampoo, which is a blessing when you're covered in sweat from trekking miles across the playa and haven't showered in four days. It's also an effective weight loss cleanse, because there's no real food around, unless you're rockstarring (a.k.a. you have...

Too many things I'll miss about Santa Monica to name, but Groundworks is definitely in the top ten. And since my greatest fear is being hungry on the plane, my morning flight called for some serious carbo-loading. ...

It also doesn't hurt that I work at Lululemon, where workout culture is work culture, and SoulCycle followed by power yoga are all in a standard day's activities. As for me, likely the only...
If you live in Los Angeles and are even remotely acquainted with the foodie scene, then you've probably heard of, dined at, or at least waited in line for Gjelina.

While the latter concoction rings up at nearly the twice the price, something about the thick, fibrous - well, "soupy" - quality staves off...
Continuing with the trend of east-meets-west, Mr. B in Beverly Hills offers a fusion of Asian flavors and European favorites (at American prices). Hence a matcha bagel with chocolate chips, mango tea with popping boba, and toast dyed to resemble a watermelon. While the café's scored high on the cutesy factor, in terms of taste and texture, the pastries were your standard Asian...
