10 Drinks to Try (or Avoid) Around the World

10 Drinks to Try (or Avoid) Around the World

by Alyssa Ramos Recently I stumbled upon my “only I can view these” photo albums on Facebook from my Eurotrip in college, and immediately remembered why I had hidden them… Mixed in with all of my awesome sightseeing pictures, are a few very obnoxious ones that made me wonder what the hell I was thinking when I posted them. Oh right, I was young and...

Treats! Magazine Halloween Party 2014

Treats Magazine Halloween Party 2014

by Alyssa Ramos As expected, Halloween in Hollywood this year was another major production, especially for the Treats! Magazine party that happened last Friday at the historic Los Angeles Theater in Downtown LA. The star-studded event was also in partnership with Utsinger Entertainment, and sponsored by Absolut Elyx and Curbstand, occupied all three floors of the lux...

How To Do Bangkok in 1 Day

Best Things to Do in Bangkok in One Day

  Nothing that I had planned on doing in the 24 hours I was in Bangkok actually happened. By the time I had finally gotten to Lebua at State Tower (27 hours later from South Africa), Skybar at The Dome was already closed, which was pretty much the only reason why I wanted to stay there. Oh, and not to mention, not only did I lose my debit card already at the airport...

LA's Hot New Way to Namaste - Poolside Yoga

LA’s Hot New Way to Namasté – Poolside Yoga

by Alyssa Ramos Screw hot yoga, if I’m going to be sweating in Downward Dog (or working out in general), there better be a pool involved. That’s why I was beyond excited when I heard about the hot new workout trend that’s been popping up privately around town – poolside yoga! But I’m definitely not just talking about your average...

Cape Town - My LIfe's A Movie

Cape Town – South Africa

by Alyssa Ramos Although I’d never been there before, Cape Town seemed familiar, as if I’d visited it in a past life or a lucid dream. It might have been due to my extensive research, or my curious project to interview local Cape Town bloggers before arriving, but the map of the town was embedded in my mind like a subconscious thought. It took thirty...

The Tuesday Club – Pearl’s Liquor Bar

by Alyssa Ramos The way that I was eagerly scanning the upstairs deck for the waitress was comparable to the anxious urgency of finding a misplaced iPhone, but it was an urgent matter, there was only ten minutes left in Happy Hour, and with the way we drink white wine, those ten minutes were vital. Finally one of the scantily dressed model-waitresses came bounding up...

St. Patty’s Day in LA Followed by an Earthquake

by Alyssa Ramos If St. Patty’s Day weekend didn’t rock us all enough, the earthquake last night sure as hell did. In most cities, St. Patrick’s Day festivities consist of going to bars, drinking beers, and taking pictures in your green attire, but in Hollywood, we feel the need to obnoxiously glam it up a bit…as we do for any possible holiday...

Miley Cyrus Would Get a Naked Teddy Bear at DBA

This may shock and disappoint you but she was actually very calm and collected. By Alyssa Ramos Like everyone else on the planet, minus the supa freaks, extremists, and people who like things purposely because everyone else doesn’t, I too was appalled and even a little upset when the seemingly sweet and innocent Miley Cyrus hacked off her pretty Hannah Montana...
