Week 29 is 🆙 🎉🥳

Another chapter if life , is here! Another lap around the sun! (This Saturday to be exact) 🎂🥳

How many birthdays FALL in September? Well, mine just happens to be in September! I am indeed a September baby, but I was born at the very end of the month when things are really starting to feel like spooky season. You know what’s even crazier? I was not supposed to be born in September at all…

Brewery Stop: Malibu Brewing Co in Agoura Hills ! 🩵🌊🌴

Malibu Brewery’s second location. 📌
New place! New vibes! We loved the whole vibe, the outdoor space, the atmosphere, the drinks, AND the food. They know what’s up! It’s a beautiful place especially when you’re outside looking at the hills . 🩵

The indoor area was nice too, but once it gets busy, it can feel a little cramped and noisy for our liking. And let me tell you, it was HOPPIN’ after 5 PM on a Thursday. 👀🍻😜👍🏼

Overall? Great drinks, good food, fun atmosphere, and a very SoCal kind of brewery day. Would we go back? Absolutely. 🩵🌊☀️

📍 Agoura Hills, CA

Valley Gurl Series: A September Baby!

Week 29: A September Baby 🍂🎂 September has always felt a little different to me, it’s the month I was born, a time of changing seasons, new beginnings, and looking back on how far I’ve come. In this week’s Valley Gurl Series, I’m celebrating being a September baby (since it’s my birthday week), reflecting on another trip around the sun, and working on this next chapter of life. Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride....

A Great Horned Owl in the Valley 🦉🌙

Sometimes the coolest Valley moments happen when you are least expecting them.

On September 3rd, we watched a Great Horned Owl swoop down onto the street, pick up a small white object, and fly over to a neighbor’s yard. It landed right on top of the American flagpole and stayed there for a while, just watching the neighborhood below.

There was something almost magical about seeing this beautiful nocturnal animal. You don’t see owls often.

The Valley has its palm trees, sunsets, strip malls, mountains and city lights, but it also has moments like this. Wildlife quietly passing through our everyday lives. Owls are beautiful.

A little Valley wildlife encounter I won’t forget. The flying guardians of the night. 🦉✌🏼🩵🌙

Week 28 part 2

West Valley strong 💔❤️‍🩹

I don’t normally post two blogs in one week however this one was a must .

September 15th, 2026 , a day the West Valley won’t forget. Where the west valley got hit hard!

Tuesday started like any other day, but by 5 PM, Chatsworth was hit with tragedy. A car crashed into a Metro bus near DeSoto & Nordhoff, killing two people and injuring many others.

Then, just an hour later, an NBC4 news helicopter covering the crash lost control and crashed nearby, killing the pilot, reporter, and a pedestrian.

Five lives were lost that day:
Daniel Castillo, 46
Gage Weida, 31
George Marciniw, 70
Eliana Moreno, 38
Edy Gutierrez Mejia, 29

Five families were changed forever.

Say their names. Remember their lives. Remember September 15, 2026. 🕊️

My heart goes out to their families, loved ones, and everyone affected by these tragedies.

Valley Gurl Series: West Valley Local Breaking News Edition

I don’t normally post two blogs in 1 week however this needed to be said since it’s very local and news that needs to be shared. The west valley got hit hard Tuesday evening starting at 5:00pm. Tuesday was one hell of a day for starters. Many of valley people and among the US and probably other countries woke up early (like 3:15am in the morning early) to purchase Peanuts + Starbucks collaboration merchandise from local Starbucks....

Week 28 is 🆙

Perks of living in the San Fernando Valley peace✌🏼

Have you ever been called an “Old Soul” before? I have many times. It’s because of who I am. I was born and raised to love and appreciate old skool music, television sitcoms, and movies. Basically, anything nostalgic at this point of time. It’s not just how I was raised, it’s who I am. It’s how I identify myself. Cheers to my very first Styx/ Chicago concert with my love and the fam! We saw a miraculous concert ! It was very humid but also a great time! 🎸🎶🎼
