Coast To Coast Rehab

So today marks three weeks, since I made the big move to California, I'm loving it and I'm thrilled to be here, but there are things I miss.

Pools and beaches with warm water. If ever you fly over a city in Florida, look out the window and notice that almost every house has a pool. Every apartment complex has at least one, if not more, but in CA only the super wealthy have pools, plus it's too cold to even enjoy being in the water and laying out in the sun.




In Coral Gables, FL just outside of Miami proper, you'll find the Venetian Pool. One of my favorite places on earth and possibly one of the most beautiful places to spend the day. The Venetian Pool is essentially just a swimming hole, fed by a natural spring from the Florida aquifers and surrounded by limestone and palm trees. The water is cold, but bearable once your body has adjusted. Whether you plan to swim , lay out, relax in the cave, sit under the waterfall, play in the kids area, or dive in, the Venetian Pool is a great way to spend the day in South Florida and for a great price. For non-resident Adults (Coral Gables) the price is $10 and for kids $6.75. Please visit the site link if you'd like more information.

On the other side of the United States, I have found another beautiful outdoor adventure, great for the athletic and adventurous people and best of all, our four legged friends, yes dogs are welcome! Runyon Canyon is a 130 acre park located two blocks from Hollywood and located within the Hollywood Hills. The canyon is comprised of rugged trails that wrap around the canyon and allow the hiker to restin areas with breath taking views of Los Angeles, the Hollywood sign, miles and miles of the gorgeous and massive mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel-Air. This is a picture of a woman stretching at the first stop on the unpaved side of the trail with an epic view of Los Angeles. For more information on Runyon Canyon please visit this link:

I rate both of these sites four out of five stars :)

Adult Swim



So, while I'm still trying to find my groove here on my blog- I'm gonna be trying some new things out. The first thing, is a once a week posting of things I find sexy. This could be anyone from anywhere, famous or not, woman or man, and I encourage you to do the same as well.

This week, I chose a poster of Colin Egglesfield and a photograph by Tonya Chalkin of two women engulfed in a kiss, in a photograph titled "The Kiss". Frankly, these two posters are what got me through my first year in college, while living with my random roommate in our boring and moldy dorm. I think both of these photographs show a beauty and softness in both sexes that is not often shown. They are both tasteful, respectful and yes, hella sexy! Please enjoy, add your thoughts, add your comments and if your sexy or know someone who is, add some pictures! Cheers!

Cynical world craves more from Susan Boyle



In a song that sounds like it was pulled off the original James Bond soundtrack, “Britain’s got Talent” star, Susan Boyle has struck again. Originally, the song was released on a charity album in 1999 entitled The Millennium Celebration. On the album Boyle sings a moving rendition of Ella Fitzgerald’s 1950’s classic, “Cry me a river”. Her voice throughout the track is solid; and the string and horn accompaniment, layered under the vengeful lyrics are a perfect combination for a heartbreaking song. I give this song four out five stars!

Listen, enjoy and please send comments.
