The Perfect Sunday Morning

Are you ready for this? I'm going to fill up your Sunday morning with great Los Angeles deals. The first is the complimentary yoga at the Lululemon store in Brentwood. As in, it is free. Free yoga. In LA. Yeah, amazing Los Angeles deals. Go me. The Lululemon store is so cute and the people there are people you want to be or be best friends with. The yoga instructors are really accommodating and adjust to your skill level. And repeat: It is free. You just can't go wrong. The second part of the Los Angeles deals is the Farmer's Market in Brentwood which is walking distance from the store. You can get your fresh, delicious, cheap produce and bask in glorious, cheap and healthy green living. It's a weekend full of Los Angeles deals, saving your wallet and your soul. Go us!

Mini-Vacation Here I Come!

Winter doesn't really work for me. I think it's the short days, hard work, and crazy weather. I get a craving to hit the slopes and ski at Mt. Baldy. While looking for Los Angeles deals on cheap Mt. Baldy lift tickets, I came across one on SocialBuy.com: $32 for 1 Weekday Lift Ticket from Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, which is $64 value. I think I am going to take next Friday off from work and go up there with a friend and just relax for the day. When it gets to the point where you groan when your alarm goes off and not even your coffee (a.k.a. cup of optimism) can make you smile, then you know you have a problem. That's where Los Angeles deals come in and you can take a little break from the grindstone and feel rejuvenated after your vacation to the mountains and snow, instead of stressed. Why stress about your mini-vacation when you can take advantage of Los Angeles deals?

Music Mania: Open Mic Nights

Los Angeles is a mecca of music, art and food. Speaking of Los Angeles deals, I have found that the best way to experience the first one and to discover amazing new music is to attend open mic nights. Some of my favorites include Tuesday Night Cafe Project in Downtown, I also like the Da Poetry Lounge for slam poetry in West Hollywood, and Eagle Rock Underground in Eagle Rock. This is one of those Los Angeles deals that you really can't put a price on because of the unique experience you will have when you can engage with undiscovered talent. It's also one of those Los Angeles deals that is so cheap, it's like $5 or under or even free. A glass of wine, some fresh music and good company? I can die happy.

Patron in my Cup!

If you are looking for an amazing Happy Hour/Los Angeles deals, then hit up Cabo Cantina for sure. They have restaurants in Santa Monica and other places in LA. Granted, I'm a sucker for all margaritas, but at you can get the mega-margarita with Patron for only $18. It's also a pretty chill restaurant with scrumptious Mexican food and the general ambiance is really fun and casual. I love going after work, because this place pumps me up and gives me a lot of energy, which is just added benefit to one of my favorite Los Angeles deals. And it's wonderful groups, so bring the co-workers and enjoy great the Los Angeles deals! Also a winning combination is the super-cute staff and the huge portions. Hmm... I kind of want to go to Cabo Cantina right now; it is one of those great Los Angeles deals!

Gorgeous Getty Trip is in Order

Even though I live right next to the Getty Center, I forget that it is one of the best Los Angeles deals. I mean - it's free! It is the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday or to bring your visiting family. The artwork is obviously amazing, especially the new Rembrandt exhibit. My favorite part, though, is the spectacular gardens and the panoramic view of LA from the terrace. You can't get any better Los Angeles deals than the Getty Center. It seems to be so undervalued and that makes me sad, since it's one of the best places in LA. I mean forget about it too, but now I want to take advantage of these Los Angeles deals! And if I am, then you should too!

Fresh Cut Flowers without the Hassle

One day in the far future, I will have a rose garden and bring in fragrant old-fashioned flowers in every day. Until then, there are always Los Angeles deals. I just bought a voucher from Devynn's Garden for $50 worth of flowers for $25 on socialbuy.com. I can't wait to bring home a gorgeous vase for my entryway and fill the house with that glorious scent. It's just such an amazing and uplifting way to take advantage of Los Angeles deals. Not to mention that if you send flowers to someone with these Los Angeles deals, you literally make their year. It's a special and sweet way to acknowledge your love for another person.

At Least You Can Get a Good Deal...

Instead of wallowing in the misery that I will not have a Valentine this year, I am going to maximize on the Los Angeles deals for Valentine's Day. In fact, I am going to send myself a gift for Valentine's Day (Shh... Don't tell anyone!) I found some Los Angeles deals on SocialBuy.com and this week, I can pay $25 for $50 worth of gifts and baskets from Bountiful Baskets by Jean. Her Valentine's Day basket is exactly what I need for a night in: wine, chocolates, cookies, etc. This is one of Los Angeles deals I can splurge on (both financially and calorically) - meaning it is going to be a great night! I guess if you had a significant other, you could send them a basket too. I'm sure they would love these Los Angeles deals.

On the bright side, at least I can send Valentines...

And not just receive them. As usual, I'm so busy wallowing in self-pity around Valentine's Day that I forget about everyone else. Including my mom. And her birthday. Whoops. Thank God for Los Angeles deals. I found one on SocialBuy.com for $120 flower arrangement for $60. Sweet. I can send my mom a gorgeous bouquet and relieve myself of my extreme guilt with this Los Angeles deal. And for the rest of you who aren't wallowing, you should look into these Los Angeles deals for your significant other. See? I'm not bitter about Valentine's Day; I'm giving you gift advice.

Amazing LA Deals - DineLA

Speaking of amazing Los Angeles deals, this is the last week of DineLA and I'm sad. There are so many amazing restaurants in LA and I wish DineLA was year-round instead of just couple weeks a year. I didn't manage to fit in the places that I really wanted to go this year and feel like I didn't take advantage of the cool Los Angeles deals. I still need to go to BOA steakhouse and Spago among others, although I did try Katsuya and Sweet Love Hangover. On the bright side, I'm glad they do this every year - yay for repeat Los Angeles deals.

Los Angeles Deals - Sprinkles Cupcakes

Sometimes the week seems so long, I can barely stand it. By Friday afternoon, all I can think about is finding a Los Angeles deal and going out and trying something new. One of Socialbuy's Los Angeles deals this week is on Sprinkles cupcakes. The bakery is just around the corner from work and that vanilla cupcake makes my day seem so much better… until I inhale it and crave another one for after dinner. When my friend sent me a link to Socialbuy.com’s voucher for $10 worth of cupcakes for $5, that Los Angeles deal was my pick-me-up. So then I just bought two cupcakes. One for now and one for later.

Eff gas prices.

I just paid $80 to fill up my gas tank! $80! That's why I have been trying to search for Los Angeles deals to save money and not just on those daily expenses, like gas and groceries, but also on stuff I like to do for fun. Going to get my nails done or having a movie night with my girlfriends is something I love to do and I know that I can find Los Angeles deals on those leisure activities too! I shouldn't have to nix all those fun things; instead, I can just save money when I do them. Once I find those Los Angeles deals, I don't have to feel guilty about spending money on things that make me feel good. A girl has got to have a little fun too!
