SAINTS BE PRAISED!
September 30,
Long Beach squeezes in another thrift store
Ours most certainly isn't a city that wants for thrift stores, from the
multiple Salvation Army and Goodwill outlets to our varied consignment
and antique spots (not to mention bankable favorites like Out of the
Closet and cute curiosities like the Assistance League Thrift
Shop—hello, rich lady clothes!). But [...]

ARMCHAIR STOGIE
August 5,
At home at Smoke Temple
Cigar shops can be intimidating to the uninitiated and those of us who
aren't middle-aged oil tycoons. I can't tell you how many times I've
popped into a cigar lounge looking to grab a couple of sticks (that's
lingo!) only to get locked in embarrassing conversations about the
401(k) I don't [...]

FLEXIBLE SPENDING
May 27,
Beat the lean with donation-only yoga
In these lean times, as consumers renegotiate cable and Internet bills
and opt for Redbox rentals over Blockbuster and Netflix, no expense goes
unconsidered—even the bathroom night light is cause for concern. But
while luxuries like Sunday champagne brunches and tickets to Coldplay
are somewhat easy to deny in the [...]

PORTHOLES AND PERISCOPES AND THERMOWELLS FOR ALL
April 8,
Vintage stoves are pricey—but they're like having a classic car in your kitchen
You could buy a vintage stove off of Craigslist for cheap, but if it has
to work—and it does—a 90-day warranty is a nice touch. So, we set our
senses of adventure aside, and, after a visit to Bond's on Fourth Street
(vintage [...]

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL
February 25,
Disposable flasks get you through the night
Sneaking a flask into a bar is a little like bringing your own popcorn
to the movie theater—you never quite feel right about doing it, and
usually wouldn't if you didn't feel you had to—but in these times (when
just finding a nice brand of, oh, say, generic [...]

SAVED BY ZERO
November 26,
On shopping and buying nothing at all
Even the most budget-whipped among us struggle with the urge to buy. I
know this because I know it—the insatiable American thirst for
ownership, the ever-present compulsion for vintage travel brochure
prints that would just look great in the bathroom—well. And I'm here to
help, to teach you how [...]

Luxury hotels at Hojo prices
Bust out the blowdryer and defrost your credit card that's hidden in the
back of the freezer: To celebrate 80 years of business, Leading Hotels
of the World—a luxury hotel company with resorts everywhere from Lisbon,
Portugal to Beijing, plus stateside hotels like the SKYLOFTS at MGM
Grand in Las Vegas [...]

UP WHERE THE AIR IS CLEAR
August 13,
Want the cheapest airfare in town? Pilot your own plane
When I was a girl, I told my mother I wanted to be a flight attendant
(stewardess back then), and without batting an eye she replied, "Hmm,
what about something else?" I thought about it for a second, knowing
what she was getting at, and said, [...]

EXTRA EXTRA
July 23,
Spread the word with Richele Silva's custom paper designs
Evites and mass text messages might work just fine when it comes to
notices of housewarmings and the casual dinner party, but computer
screens and minute BlackBerry fonts don't ever quite match up to
old-fashioned paper correspondence. And that's precisely what makes
Richele Silva's custom-designed invitations, greeting [...]

THE QUIET MAN
July 2,
Don't keep it in. Say it with socks
I'm not one for expressing emotions. Telling the rest of the world what
I'm feeling just doesn't ever seem to make the top of my daily to-do
list. That's why I write. It's much easier to put something down on
paper than to speak up about an issue [...]

I'm
a mother of 2 sons and 2 grandchildren. Therefore, I'm also concerned
about sex offenders living in my neighborhood. But at the same time we
also have to be reasonable. No one wants sex...
