Malibu Day

Alex and I recently had a “date day” out in Malibu. We started the morning with breakfast at Joan’s on Third, my perennial favorite place to grab it a quick bite. Always cozy!

We split a blueberry danish and a soft boiled egg with morning potatoes before heading out to the Malibu, the town in which I grew up. Alex and I live in the center of Los Angeles where everything is always bustling – lights, cars, sounds. The moment we arrive in this surfer town, suddenly we’re on vacation.

After a few hours reading, resting and walking on the beach, we felt a hankering for fish tacos. We made our way back home, stopping for cajun style catfish and calamari at the Reel Inn.

It is so important for me to take days like this that are all about pure relaxation and enjoyment. What are your favorite ways to disconnect from normal life and take some time for yourself? I would love to know.
