Today is my last full day in Vancouver. One of my best friends from childhood is getting married this weekend, and I leave for her wedding tomorrow to dive into my bridesmaid duties. I am not gonna lie, I am craving being at a wedding again and am so excited! But I'm really bummed to be leaving this city that I've fallen so deeply in love with. The people are nice, everyone has dogs, it's right on the water and the food is insane - the Italian cuisine especially. Tony had to shoot late last night, so I took myself out to dinner at one of our favorite locals spots, Nook. There was a chance he'd be able to meet me, so I ordered enough food for two and brought my iPad to read a book while I waited. He was never able to come, so I'm pretty sure the waitstaff thought "my husband" was an imaginary excuse to eat 2x as much food. But I don't care, I had fun drinking prosecco and shoveling pasta into my face alone. To my credit, I brought Tony's meal home for him. To their credit, I did eat all the appetizers. We'll call it even. I hope you're having a great short week! Here are a few distractions to get you through this hump day...View Article

Guys, I am loving Vancouver. Tony and I get to live in a hotel for a few weeks, giving me full license to pretend I'm an adult Eloise and do all of my work in a bathrobe. Food trucks are parked daily within walking distance. And there is a beautiful run nearby that goes along the waterfront; I've timed my jogs to coincide with the daily walk of a golden retriever I'm currently stalking (we didn't get to bring our 3 mutts and I miss them something awful.) Being holed up here without any friends is giving me a lot of time to get work done; I'm really excited about my post-wedding plans for the blog, and am also working on a web series my friend Kim and I are planning to star in together. Because nothing says cliche quite like being an L.A.-based blogger-writer-actress who's pitching a web series! When I'm not anxiously chasing down my dreams, here is the clickbait that's distracted me during my stay so far in Canada...View Article
There are so many things I want to write about in these last few weeks leading up to our wedding - my bachelorette party, Tony's bachelor party, sharing our Save the Dates, how the guest list has been the most difficult part of planning, our honeymoon, how I've been feverishly sweating it out the elliptical from midnight to 1am - but, if you didn't get it from that last one, the days are disappearing like the sands through that hourglass on Days of Our Lives. And today, I prioritized my final dress fitting (!!!!!!!!!) and buying fake hair (which Tony and I affectionately refer to as our "wedding pet." It's actually real hair from a stranger in India, and I will be wearing it on my head while we promise to love each other forever). I'm going to try to keep posting every weekday, but things might be a bit sporadic leading up to August 1. Thanks for bearing with me, and for reading and supporting the blog, it means so much to me! In the meantime, here is some clickbait to get you through the weekend. I hope you have the happiest Friday! I sure did... Not only did the dress fit, but the kind people at Vera Wang told me to eat a burger. THOSE LATE NIGHTS ON THE ELLIPTICAL WERE ALL WORTH IT. And now, I'm going to do just that. Have the best weekend!View Article
We are getting married exactly ONE MONTH FROM TODAY. Today I had my wedding beauty trial AND my second dress fitting AND went to Tony's tuxedo fitting... My life has officially been taken over by the wedding. When I'm not scouring the internet for gold house numbers for a little DIY project I (Tony) will be attacking or pondering Xanax, here are a few articles I've been distracting myself with as of late. HAPPY HUMP DAY!View Article
I'm feeling like a chicken running around with my head cut off this week. I've turned our dining room table into the Wedding Central Command Station, and am spending my days scrambling to remember everything I need to do, and accomplish it before I forget again. I've written so many To Do lists online and around the house, it's on a few of the To Do lists to find where I put the rest of the To Do lists. I'm so excited for our wedding, but I'm sincerely concerned the day will arrive and I'll remember that morning it was on some To Do list to buy shoes, and I'll have to wander down the aisle barefoot (not that that is a terrible idea... I'd at least be comfortable). I'm trying to cut myself some slack and remember that as long as Tony and I are there, everything will be great. And, I'm trying to make space in my life for the things and people who are important to me, so I don't become a bride robot. Tony and I spent the morning volunteering at CHLA, we're catching a screening of Jurassic World with some friends later today, and I leave for my bachelorette party (!!!!!!!!) tomorrow morning. Things are good, and I'm really lucky. If you feel like your brain is melting, too, here are a few distractions... The clickbait circulating around the internet that got my attention this week:View Article
Need a distraction from work? How about you stare at this picture of a Shetland pony rocking Converse for a few minutes/hours? (That's what I've been doing since I snapped this shot yesterday.) My friend Eileen, her sweet sweet baby Goldie and I popped by the Paramount lot yesterday to say hi to Tony while he was working. He had the brilliant idea to "borrow" a golf cart (*sidenote to all production assistants on the Paramount lot: Tony is sorry if that was your golf cart), and took us on a tour of the lot. Running into this fella was the highlight of our joyride. Pretty sure the flower girls should ride him down the aisle at our wedding, but I forgot to ask for a business card or if they travel to Tahoe. If you still need work distractions, may I suggest this clickbait...View Article
