3 Things We ❤️ NOW: Joymode, Oktoberfest, and Keroppi

Did you know about Joymode? Their motto is: Experience everything. Own nothing. You can rent those items that you could never justify buying (Outdoor Pizza Oven…perhaps one day ?). They’ll drop it off, pick it up, and handle all the cleaning. Not only do they give you everything needed to throw amazing events like a Backyard Movie Night or a Beach Day, but this Halloween they’ll be stocked with all the essentials*.

*Pumpkin Spice is NOT an essential for Halloween so don’t get me started

 


The Definitive Los Angeles and Orange County Oktoberfest Guide ???

Q (In My Jerry Seinfeld Voice): Why do they call if Oktoberfest if it starts in September??

A: The first Oktoberfest (in 1810) was such a success the celebration became an annual festival…and over time, the starting dates were moved into September because the days were longer and the weather was warmer. Kinda like how Starbucks introduces the Gingerbread and Eggnog Lattes sooner and sooner every year.

 


Sip Tea or Craft Cocktails Along With Hello Kitty in Irvine

Props to Sanrio for playing that long game. They had me spending half my allowance on super cute Keroppi ? (Team Hello Bai Kitty ?) erasers in the 90s (don’t be tryna calculate my age now) and now they’re coming back for the rest of my money with this new Sanrio themed cocktail bar in Irvine!
