Scent-sational Finds | La Casa Verde de Granada

I frequent La Casa Verde de Granada almost weekly. I buy my incense there, and if you know me personally or have been to our shop, you know I burn a lot of incense. It’s an incredible second-hand store—don’t rush through this place!

Where Everybody Knows Your Name | MRK Public Things to Do in San Clemente

MRK Public is my “Cheers”—they pour my favorite wine, Goldwater, as soon as I walk through the door. Order the Thai salad with tofu and vegan dressing, and order the fries. They have the best fries I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of fries!

This Is How She Rolls | Muse

I’m vegan so sushi has always been a tough sell, but my daughter is OBSESSED. Enter Muse, the answer to both of our cravings. They have spicy miso that is pretty bananas! I get the Last Night in San Clemente roll veggie-style with soy paper.

All Things Lovely in Prism | Prism Boutique Things to Do in San Clemente

This is not a shameless plug! Prism Boutique happens to stock Novella Royale, BUT they have the best selection in OC. Dayna, the owner, has a special eye for selling what you didn’t know you needed until you’ve seen it.

Adora-Bowl | S.C. Cafe

S.C. Cafe is pretty much every local’s go-to breakfast spot! They make a special vegan bowl for me, and I’m lobbying to have it put on the menu! If you go, ask for the Mary Bowl.

The Flea Market with Style | The Long Beach Antique Market Things to Do in San Clemente

The Long Beach Antique Market is the best place to treasure hunt. My son, Koa, often accompanies me. I’m usually stocking up on special, unique clothing, accessories and houseware, but Koa is currently on the lookout for Van Halen records.
