My Hair Savior


Lindsey Nicole Hunt's West Hollywood salon chair may not be too far away from me in Beachwood Canyon, but I wish she lived next door! She could tame my crazy, scary hair every morning:-)

I first met Lindsey when she was a stylist at Chop Chop Hair Salon. She just recently opened her own business, LC Loft, on Santa Monica Blvd., in West Hollywood. Lindsey received her amazing training at Vidal Sassoon.

She knows just what to do with both my cut and color, no matter how my hair changes over the years.....I love how she is willing to play around with different hair styles. 

Recently, she referred me to a fabulous make up artist, Fabian Zuniga, for an upcoming photo shoot for my new business cards. Fabian took these photos of me with his iPhone!!! Which ones do you like? :)

Here's how you can get fabulous hair from her, too!

Adventures in Franklin Village Part 3.....Franklin & Company

One thing I love about Franklin Village that one can have so many different kinds of experiences on just one block! Franklin & Co. is one of them!

As I was learning about The Oaks Gourmet, I met with the manager, Jeremy Fraye, originally from Santa Barbara wine country. Recently, he partnered with Greg Morris, owner of The Oaks Gourmet, to purchase the former Prizzi's and turn it into Franklin & Co., an urban gastropub. They don't take reservations, other than "The Snug" for parties. Ask for the Good Neighbor 10% discount when you go in! They have a really interesting menu and delicious food, an extensive draft beer menu. They serve a great brunch! On Mother's Day and on Valentine's Day they serve a prix fixe menu, with Champagne on Valentine's Day. 

Every Wednesday, they feature artisanal beers from a special brewery. It's called The Mug Club. You can always check their website, instagram page and facebook page for updates. They've made it to the Thrillist.

Adventures in Franklin Village Part 2.....Birds


Birds seems to be the favorite local hang out in Franklin Village! I can attest to having a great time at their happy hour from 4-6 pm. Andrew, the bartender, is quite the character. Sounds like he's from Australia, but he's NOT! He introduced my friend and me to Zubrowka, a delicious herb-flavored vodka, distilled from rye and bison grass!

They also have a second happy hour from 11pm to midnight!!!!

Feels like the neighborhood Cheers:-)
