Time to Kill….in LA (ish)

When someone says "LA", it can mean a lot of things. It could mean you're in Malibu or Santa Monica or Hollywood or the Pacific Palisades or many points in between. The place is sprawling and the traffic is HIDEOUS. When I go I do my best to restrict my movements to one or two neighbouring areas. Anticipating road congestion is part of the planning. (Note to self: Do not fly into LAX at 5pm on a Friday.) — Read More —

Girl Crush

I have a girl crush. Crushes to be exact. Before you get all excited let’s define the term. According to the Urban Dictionary (some website I found online) a girl crush is: — Read More —

Adventures in Dog Walking

Sometimes my dog Lola drives me crazy. It was a chilly Tuesday and we had already been for an hour long walk earlier in the day. Then suddenly she was whining and spinning like she was full of beans and needed to get out there again. And it wasn't the, "my butt's about to explode" kind of whining. There's a difference. I really was in no mood to go for yet another walk in the cold, but as I cannot resist her sad eyes I geared up for a trot around the hood. — Read More —

What You Need to Know Before Booking Your Next Vacation

Travel company Sunwing made the headlines recently, after keeping 200 passengers stranded at a Cuban airport for hours, without any food or water. I recently had my own travel troubles with Sunwing. — Read More —

This Sunday…We’re Cooked!

Don't forget to watch our one hour special this Sunday, January 19th on W Network! It's called "Anna & Kristina: COOKED". The show spun out of an idea we had for a new series in which we leave our cookbooks behind and go around the world learning to cook local food from the locals. Sounds fun and easy, right? — Read More —

The Best Dressed List

"Breaking Bad," "Wolf of Wall Street," "American Hustle" blah blah blah. I can read about who won what at the Golden Globes. For me, it's all about who's wearing what. Step aside Mr. Blackwell, this year, I'm coming out with my own best dressed list. — Read More —

TV Killed The Movie Star

The Golden Globes are on this Sunday and usual I will be parked on a sofa with some pals drinking too much wine; doing my part to join in Hollywood's Best (and from what I'm told, booziest) Awards Show. But aside from my favourite hosting duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the only reason I'll be watching is to support the TV shows. Because these days, there is little point in going to a movie. — Read More —

Want it? Hukk it!

Let’s face it. TV wardrobe aside, I really don’t need anything new to wear for the next 10 years. So in 2014, I’m focusing on spending less money (one of the top five resolutions according to every poll imaginable), paring down my wants and only buying things I truly love. And I’m going to try my best to wait for things to go on sale. I recently discovered a handy app that helps me do just that. — Read More —

Sing For Your Supper – Cookbook review

I’m starting the new year off with a gift suggestion.  Yes, I know you’re way past presents and moved on to dreading those incoming credit card bills, but if you’ve got anyone with a birthday… — Read More —

In 2014 I vow to…

Most New Year’s resolutions are bound to fail, right? So this year, I’m setting my goals low, really low. Surely I’ll be able to achieve at least a few of the things on my list. — Read More —
