Happy birthday ate J! Went to Chado in Hollywood for an intimate little party. It’s been a crazy week so loved getting a dose of family time and celebrating a great cousin! Chado is a quaint tearoom with over 300 different teas from all over the globe. Especially love their “punjab” tea sandwich made of…

Featuring more than 100,000 square feet,…
“At The NOW we offer a moment.We deliver a luxury service at an affordable price, in an idyllic space.” I think I go here just to take photos. Nevertheless, experienced an excellent “The Healer” massage with Houshmand who worked out knots like no one has before. Taken during a bff date on May 27, 2017.
