Sometimes a job is just a job, it's not a life
Let's be unequivocally clear: your workplace is not your family. And honestly, when companies insist on presenting their workforce as a "family," I find it utterly obnoxious, bordering on insulting.

A churning yearning
A few years ago, after countless disappointing attempts with makeshift methods and a growing craving for gourmet gelato, I decided it was time to invest in a dedicated ice cream maker. After much research and reading countless reviews, I settled on a popular and highly rated model: the Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker.
New relationship: chew dis?
I'm in a new relationship and it's been going great for a few weeks. The dates have been casual (walking the dog, going for evening drives, etc.). We just had dinner together for the first time and I'm kind of annoyed. I can't stand how he eats. He chews with his mouth open and chews loudly. He also goes "ahhhhh" after he has sips of drinks. Do I say something early on or just deal with it? I like him otherwise and I don't want to come into this relationship telling him to start changing things. But it really annoys me. A big part of relationships is having meals together so I don't think this is something I can avoid in the future. What do I do?
Am I the only one who hates email?
There are moments in life that stick with you – your first car, your first terrible haircut, the first time you realized that artisanal kale smoothies were actually just a fancy way to drink grass.
He IS the father!
It's been two years since "the incident."
Swim the bay all the way
I'm learning there is a lot to see and do at Pier 39 in San Francisco.
My partner wants us to take lie-detector tests
My partner joked that we should take a lie-detector test just to see what it's like. It seems like he might have an ulterior motive. I'm wondering if on the surface it's meant to be something silly just to see if we could "beat it" and get away with lies but I think he's fishing. Maybe he doesn't believe my past or the current state of our relationship. What is the line of questioning? If we do it, should we agree on the questions beforehand? My partner is different like that, frequently having off-the-wall ideas so it doesn't surprise me he would come up with something like this. This one just seems weird and he's mentioned it a few times already.

You want access to my what?
To play a casino game on my phone I needed to give the app access to my address book, photos, videos and grant permission to record audio. Hmm… now, let’s see if I can figure out how my personal information and files could be compromised.

Bottoms-up rainbow sangria
A WeHo brunch is about celebrating love, acceptance, and of course, delicious food and drinks! And what better way to toast to these values than with a vibrant, colorful rainbow sangria? This recipe is easy to make, visually stunning and packs a fruity punch that's perfect for a warm summer morning.
Seriously, you're not fooling us
For whom are you living? It’s something I ask during new year’s resolution season but all year-round when I scroll social media.
My partner wants us to go to a nude beach
My partner wants us to go to a nude beach. I've noticed he's getting more and more comfortable walking around the house in little (or no) clothing. It's not that he's embracing a nudist lifestyle I think he just enjoys the freedom of not wearing clothes. It's one thing to do it in the privacy of our own home but to do it in public is new. It's only him who's walking around the house undressed, I'm not participating. I have no issue with him doing it in the house. He's wanting to take it to the next level now and show off in public. I'm certain I wouldn't strip down on a beach no matter how much "everyone is doing it" pressure might be put on me. I'm just not sure about other people seeing my partner naked. You don't know who has a camera out there and will be capturing shots and whatever they might be doing with them. What should I do?
Do 'smart glasses' make you look stupid?
As someone who’s always been fascinated by the intersection of fashion and technology, the idea of smart glasses has captivated me for years. (Mostly I wondered if they're necessary or just something to entertain the nerd world.)
Who are you trying to protect with that?
Are disclaimers catering to snowflakes? Let me give you some context so that question makes sense.
Buff'ed cream sandwich
As a self-proclaimed dessert enthusiast, I'm always trying to elevate classic treats. Lately, I've been obsessed with perfecting the humble ice cream sandwich. (Cuz it's been hella hot here in WeHo.)
Set sail for an iconic adventure
A trip to San Francisco wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. While most tourists long to drive or even walk across it, I decided to go underneath with our friends at Adventure Cat Sailing Charters on Pier 39.

My partner wants to mix our friend groups
My partner insists on mixing our groups of friends and I prefer keeping them separate. For instance (I'm making up these names): I'm friends with John and Mary, and he's friends with Bob and Susan. He wants us to get together as a group of six and do dinner or a night out somewhere. I have nothing against Bob and Susan but I just don't feel like mixing our friends. I feel like it'll be awkward because I have inside jokes and stories with them that the others wouldn't understand or find funny. They're just two different couples. It's not that I feel like they won't get along I just want my friends to be my friends and his friends to be his friends. What should I do?
Why do meals cost so much if restaurants have allegedly thin margins?
I’ve heard it, you’ve heard it – it’s practically gospel in business circles: the food industry is the toughest game in town. The margins, they say, are razor-thin. Restaurants struggle to stay afloat, operating on mere pennies of profit per dollar.
Wasn't this supposed to make life easier?
Suck it up and get ready to work your fingers. It’s the last thing you want to be doing but you have no choice.
Buff-fused breakfast cereal
As a kid, did you ever pour chocolate syrup into your cereal to make it chocolate milk with your Lucky Charms? Anyone? Anyone?? OK, just me. Whatever.
