Fiesta en la playa

Hermosa Beach had a big party for Memorial Weekend, its 36th annual Fiesta Hermosa. Spent a balmy and breezy sunday playing bad volleyball with my family but the Food Court aroma seduced us right to the belly of the beast. Everything smelled delicious. We noshed on the Lifeguards' famous fish tacos and yummy roasted corn.

Not recommended for clausterphobics, its a sea of people but worth the uncomfort level if you happen to be an art lover. There's almost 300 artists and crafters featured.

Labour Day will host another Fiesta Hermosa. Come early and prepare not to leave empty handed.

packing is pleasure

Diane von Furstenberg quotes about packing tips,


"I think if you've figured out how to pack, you've figured out your life..."


Yes!!! I can't even fold my laundry properly, but I pride myself in planning the smallest detail with great tenderness, because, I will be away from the mundane daily grind. Everything is a promise of escape and delight.

Furstenberg adds, "It's always torture, but when you've done it, you feel great...And when you arrive at the other end and you see how intelligentily you packed, it's almost like an orgasm."
