Zoo

Today I went to the zoo with my family. It was so much fun to spend time with my parents and sister, just the four of us. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves and the animals were all really active. Even the koala bears that sleep for about 22 hours a day were up and moving! My favorite exhibit was the reptile house. Above is a picture of one of the exotic goats we saw.

After the zoo we went to my grandparents' house and hung out with my aunt, uncle and cousin who are in for the holidays. My grandma and I made a gingerbread tree, which is also pictured above. We had dinner and then shopped for a little bit. We are going over there again in the morning for breakfast and to spend the day. So far this has been a nice relaxing vacation full of family:)

Home For the Holidays!

I made it to my parents house for the holidays and I have already seen my sister, my parents, and both sets of my grandparents! I'm so relaxed to be out of LA away from all of the striking!

Tea Garden

One of my favorite places to hang out in LA is Dr. Tea's Tea Garden, and there is great news for all of my readers on the East Coast! Mark "Dr. Tea" Ukra, the owner of Dr. Tea's Tea Garden has written a book called The Ultimate Tea Diet and it is awesome! It comes out in bookstores January 1st. It is a great book to read even if you are not trying to lose weight, as it describes many health benefits of tea and give an interesting history lesson on the subject. There are also many great recipes in the book!

Dr. Tea will be at the Borders Bookstore in Columbus Circle at 1:00 PM on January 8th for a book signing and tea tasting! I highly recommend that anyone who can make it goes to meet him, as he and his book are very interesting.

There will be a full article on Dr. Tea and The Ultimate Tea Diet in the Daily Record the first week of January. When it runs in the paper, I will link it to my blog.
