No Relaxation Zone
This was not your mother’s spa experience. No, this one involved no rest and definitely no relaxation. After googling “interesting spa experiences,” we found some seriously unique and unusual treatments. But none as odd as the one upon which we settled. Erin and I did our first (and last) V-Steam for Week 48’s We Never! … Continue reading
And I thought V was for Vendetta!
I love the LA times. Check out the new hot trend – a “V-steam.” This time we did some due diligence. Nice spa – great facilities. We are in! So what is a V-steam? It would probably be best if you guess. But think of a wooden box with a hole in it and burning … Continue reading
I knew I was French! Oh, and Italian, Spanish and African!
Well, Lisa and I went on Thanksgiving holiday this week so we needed an adventure that did not involve us being together. So we submit our DNA to the National Geographic project to see if we were related to cave-men. Doesn’t everyone do this on their holiday? Well, they did not directly link me to … Continue reading

Nap Time!
After last weeks craziness, we thought we “needed a moment.” Lisa found a beginners meditation class. Perfect! I think Lisa has already told you about the awesomeness of the place we went – a little slice of paradise on Sunset Blvd in the heart of west LA! It was extraordinary – take a look at … Continue reading
Serenity on Sunset
I’m sure I’ve driven by this location on Sunset a hundred times before and never knew it was there. Our time just always seems so precious, not worthy of being squandered on finding out what’s on the other side or behind a wall or off the beaten path. Maybe because you figure nothing’s really there; … Continue reading
