I don’t know about you, but any chance I get to represent a superhero, I will take it! And with San Diego Comic Con happening now, it’s as good a time as any. Last week, I was invited to attend the InfoList PreComic-Con event at Ohm Nightclub in Hollywood. It provided the opportunity for comic…

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Part monster movie, part sci-fi, it borrows from classics such as Nosferatu, Godzilla, Planet of the Apes, Alien, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and of course builds on…

Why I Love Grocery Day
My love of cooking began back in the second grade when I won first place at my school’s summer book reading contest. The prize was a copy of the For Good Measure: A Cookbook for Children and the first item I ever made by myself was popovers. To this day, that is my go-to recipe…

TV Review: Jesus Christ Superstar Live, In Concert
**Warning, this post may include spoilers** When NBC announced back in 2013 that they were going to bring back the live holiday specials, I was overjoyed! Musical theatre will always have a special place in my heart and I watched with childhood glee as it was broadcast into my home. Minus a few technical difficulties…

Off to Comic Con!
Let me just set the record straight right now: I’m a nerd at heart. I read a few comic books back in the day and if there was a movie or TV show based on one, I guarantee you, I’ve seen it. I’m a sci-fi loving, pin trading, source material reading, Disney mom and action-adventure fan. …

Bubbly Brunching
The freshly renovated Costero California Bar & Bistro inside the Sheraton Gateway near LAX is a far cry from what is traditionally thought of as a “hotel restaurant”. Walking in, the first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful and massive crystal chandeliers that adorned the lobby and set the standard for the rest of…

With the official start to summer right around the corner, it’s time to start planning your activities to get you out of the house, enjoying the fresh air and time together…or alone for some peace and quiet! No matter what kind of company you decide to keep this summer, I know you will enjoy THIS…

Smurfs: The Lost Village
Sony went all out for the family-friendly premiere of its new (fully) animated film Smurfs: The Lost Village. I was honestly thrilled to join the block party and experience some of my childhood Saturday morning cartoons again. It also happened to be the 100th anniversary for Culver City itself, where Sony is headquartered. I believe…

Unexpected Pep Squad
Tuesday was a pretty typical day. Granted, I was operating a few hours less than normal for my own selfish reasons, but even Mom deserves a night out every now and then! Overall, I still felt pretty good. Maybe my leftover hairdo looked a bit disheveled or maybe my afternoon coffee was starting to wear off. Perhaps…

Pre-Oscar Party Celebrating Diversity
Los Angeles during Awards Season is a strange combination of excitement, glamour and that feeling of being in limbo between where you want to be and where you once were. Publicists are all in a tizzy trying to get their people into the right parties, actors are either feigning disinterest or can’t stop talking about…

Adding to the Anthology
It’s been a crazy couple of months and I’m happy to say that I have lost track of my auditions and maybe someday I’ll chronicle those again. In a nutshell, I will be Guest Starring on a new show coming out this Spring on Lifetime, three (very different) commercials that I am SO excited to share…

The Last Phone Case You’ll Ever Need
At least until you upgrade. But even then, Rokform will have you covered. So this post is long overdue and most sincere apologies for not sharing this momtastic find with you before! I have been using this brand for at least two years now and its universal mounting system and ingenious magnet is super handy!…

Bad Moms Premiere
Being a new mom, I get the need to break free every now and then. So when I received my invite to the premiere of Bad Moms, you bet I jumped at the opportunity. Now don’t get me wrong…I love my Oliviamore than anything, but moms need fresh air, too. And where better to go…

Fabulous Fabula Nebulae
I love getting mail. I had multiple pen pals throughout elementary and junior high school to feed my obsession with receiving mail. To this day, I volunteer with a kids literacy program so that I get more mail. This particular piece of mail contained an extra something special – handmade natural products from a loving…

Prenatal Photo Shoot
They’re here! The photos anyway….have a little ways to go yet to meet the little one that I’m building. I recently had a lovely shoot with Ellen Hancock of Gypsy Revival Photography. In these, my little Fluffy is 29 weeks (2/13/16) but I think the bump has already outgrown the images! Check out the rest…

The Art of Female Conversation
I had a great time hanging out with these fine folks on set today in Burbank! We shot a satirical short film by award winning director Daniel Hankins on the interactions of women. I played the Plain Jane of the group…and was probably the most comfortable! It’s a pretty clever bit and I will be happy…
