    I Like Pie – Ranking Their Winter Menu Before We Say Goodbye

    February 15, 2025 / 0 Comments

    I first wrote about I Like Pie, an adorable and delicious pie shop in Claremont, CA a few years back. And although I don’t make it out to enjoy their baked goodies as much as I would like, to this day they remain one of my favorite dessert shops. But unfortunately, as has happened to way too many small businesses, this past week I Like Pie announced that they will be closing down both of their locations before the end of the month (Pasadena closes tomorrow 2/16 and Claremont will close 2/23). This announcement absolutely broke my heart and I knew I had to make it over there one last…

    November 18, 2021 / 0 Comments

    In case you weren't aware, like me up until this morning, Krispy Kreme has launched some Thanksgiving-themed doughnuts and I tried each and every one of them this morning! Now that I've had some time to sit on and contemplate my Thanksgiving Dozen, I'm ready to share with you my ranking of all four limited-edition Krispy Kreme Thanksgiving-themed doughnuts.

    Fall is my favorite season, in theory. I love the changing leaves and the chill in the air. There is nothing I enjoy more than wrapping myself up in blanket on cool nights. I think I'm much cuter in sweaters, scarves, tights and boots, than in bikinis, shorts, and tank tops. And, I can start breaking out the eggnog (pumpkin spice can kiss my ass). But, I live in Southern California and that means my fall season is really more of a faux fall season. (Don't get me wrong its way more fall like here than it was in Hawaii, but compared to the majority of the country, it's barely…

Let's see if I can sum up my feelings for this band in a concise IG caption. 

I started listening to them way back in high school when their debut album dropped. I dabbled in their second album and maybe a bit of their third but then, like many of the bands I was listening to at the time, fell off my radar. 

Then, March 2024, opening for Fall Out Boy, The Maine came rushing back into my life and my playlists have not been the same. 

I cannot properly express how important their music has been to me over the last, nearly two years. I'm sad, I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed, I'm unmotivated. Whatever it is I'm feeling that I need to get out of my body their music is there for me. 

Since seeing them at the start of 2024, I've seen them a handful of other times, but only in festival settings, so finally being able to see them in not only a setting filled with just their fans, but in such an insanely intimate venue was so very special đź©·

I love you, but I choose The Maine đź©·

10.20.2025 Durry at The Troubadour Leading up to 10.20.2025 Durry at The Troubadour 

Leading up to this show I had spent the last 5 days in Las Vegas for When We Were Young. I had walked nearly 100k steps over the last three days and was running on an average of 4 hours a sleep a night for the entirety of the trip. 

A smart responsible adult would have gone home and gone to bed early to recover and prepare to return to work and normal life the next day. 

But that is not me and my love for this band is too strong. We drove home from Vegas that morning, dropped off our bags at home, took a quick 30 minute nap, and then headed into Hollywood...and it was so totally worth it!
