What We're Talking About This Week

We shared our favorite LA candy store this week, which features many amazing Scandinavian treats.  But these delicacies are about to get even more accessible in the rest of the country, with IKEA adding Swedish candies to their US stores.

A few weeks ago we were talking about our foam roller love, and this week we learned that not only can rollers help with myofascial self-release, but they can also be a great tool for healthy waist sculpting.

All this weekend, Hollywood is host to the Los Angeles Culture Festival.  This festival features music, food, and crafts from all over the world.

Right in time for the movie's twentieth anniversary, Clueless the Musical is going to be a real thing, and it's going to be amazing.  We can't wait for the song versions of As If, A Virgin Who Can't Drive, and I Hope Not Sporadically, plus the staging of the nautical wedding.

This Sunday is SF Pride, celebrated in the city's Castro, the historically gay neighborhood.  Many acts will take the stage after the parade, and we would recommend catching local legend Lady Bunny.

What We're Talking About This Week

Tasting Table just announced their annual Lobster Rumble in LA.  Tickets for the August 13th event - which features 17 chefs competing for the best lobster roll, to be judged by attendees - are available here.

We are obsessed with this foam roller, and Goop has shared an incredible guide to its use.  The tension release is incredible - the different rolling moves can undo all of the pain from sitting or making repetitive motions throughout the day.

There are still tickets available to spend this Sunday evening at SF's Castro Theatre with Judy Blume and Molly Ringwald, and we plan on being front and center to hear the author and actress in conversation about life, career, adolescence, and Blume's new book In the Unlikely Event.

Today is Nation Doughnut Day!  The past week or so seems to have brought a lot of favorite food days (including burgers and cheese), and today we want to treat ourselves yet again.... One of our LA favorite, Fonuts, has a healthier option with their vegan fonuts, selling for $2 all day - we recommend the salted caramel (pictured).

The Alameda Flea is this Sunday!  The sun has come out just enough in the Bay Area to motivate us to get outside, and across the Bay Bridge to one of the country's best flea markets this weekend... With so many different vendors, we can always find a treasure (or ten).
