  • Show Him the Love

    If it's not your anniversary, it's his birthday.  Or it's Christmas, or it's Valentine's Day.   Who has time for all this crap, not to mention the money?? Staying single is definitely a smart move.  But if th... more

  • Friday Night In

    You thought you didn't want to go to the much buzzed about music festival du jour. It's expensive, crowded, dirty and hot. But, now that everyone you know is headed out of town, you can't help but feel just a little bit sorry for yourse... more

  • Friday Night In: Dine Like The Dame

    We're still not over Elizabeth Taylor's passing, and some nights we like to make like Charlotte York Goldenblatt and sit at home fantasizing that our lives are even half as interesting as the Dame's.  Since the highlight of our jew... more

  • BGG Weekender

    At long last, our beloved weekend has arrived. But, what to do with it while it lasts? Since every moment of our star-crossed romance with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is precious, we’ve put together a weekend itinerary that’ll keep us ... more

  • Father's Day Out

    Father's Day is right around the corner, and being a busy Broke Girl this summer (those marathon Bloody Mary brunches and beach afternoons really are a time suck), it's possible you've neglected to plan anything. Being procrastination-p... more

  • BGG Weekender

    June Gloom is the punishment we Angelenos must suffer for the 80-degree days we enjoyed back in February. You know, the ones you posted about on Facebook, thus prompting hundreds of friends who live elsewhere in the country to consider deleting you... more

  • BGG Weekender

    This is the time of year when people you know start vacationing in faraway places with exotic names you can't pronounce.  To make matters worse, you’re usually stuck reading their exuberant online updates from you... more

  • Best of the Broke: June

    Can you believe it's been nearly a month since you received your first Broke Girl's Guide email? We hope we helped beat the June Gloom (and the more permanent cubicle gloom) by enlightening you as to your options for living large and spendi... more

  • BGG Weekender

    The most wonderful thing about the 4th of July Holiday (besides, you know, U-S-A, U-S-A!) is that it's the one day of the year on which nothing is expected of you beyond eating, drinking and staring at shiny objects as they explode in the sky. ... more

  • BGG Weekender

    Four-day work weeks are like puppies and babies and kittens and cocktails all rolled into one marvelous, truncated little thing, aren’t they? The fact that we have almost arrived at our next reprieve from conference rooms and cubicles makes u... more

  • The Perfect Parisian Day in LA

    Though the travel bug has us itching for some European jet-setting this summer, astronomical airfares will prevent us from fleeing to Paris anytime soon. Wouldn't life be perfect, though, if you could spend even a few days in the City of Lights... more

  • BGG + DrinksLA Party Tonight, $4 Cocktails on Sunset

    To those of you lucky enough to be on summer break right now, we say '%$*&!'.

  • BGG Weekender

    Yesterday, we received an email from a friend asking if we thought she would have a problem getting home to Brentwood from the airport on Sunday. We still haven’t stopped laughing. As we are all by now aware, the 405 is closing down this week... more

  • Not Your Ordinary Picnic - LA's Best Gourmet Baskets

    With Carmageddon looming on the horizon, the driving-obsessed populace of Los Angeles will suddenly find itself forced to keep things local. Gazing in wonder at their previously unexplored environs, Angelenos might actually venture out – if y... more

  • Become an Art Collector, Aficionado, or Even an Artist...on a Budget

    Los Angeles is often vilified as a cultural wasteland and, as five minutes on cable will tell you, for good reason.  Just because we don’t see the Kardashians visiting MOCA or The World According to Paris being filmed from the Downtown A... more

  • Summer Getaway: Austin, Texas

    Texas is home to many things we love -- Chase Crawford, fried Twinkies, men who actually hold the door open for you (and would never dream of borrowing your hair products), and of course, one of our favorite cities in the country: Austin.  Whi... more

  • BGG Weekender

    In just under 48 hours from now, you’ll be freed from your proverbial cage and let loose upon the world to -- gasp! -- do whatever the eff you want. As we like to encourage the having of fun whenever possible but most especially on weekends, ... more

  • Summer Getaway: Malibu

    Though we’re constantly bemoaning the fact that we don’t vacation enough, our land-locked friends in the middle of the country like to remind us that we actually live in what is essentially a beach town.  While a house in Malibu ma... more

  • BGG Weekender

    You didn’t go to Wanderlust this weekend because: a) you didn’t want to embarrass mere mortals by openly demonstrating your prowess as a goddess of yoga; b) Lake Tahoe reminds you of that time...on Spring Break...; or, c) you don’... more

  • Best of the Broke: July

    Luckily for all of us, this July wasn’t just about fretting over the debt ceiling or fearing Car-meh-geddon.  This month, we brought you ways to beat the heat, such as a sunny, luxurious day trip to Malibu (no beach house necessary), or ... more

  • BGG Weekender

    If you woke up feeling ambitious about your weekend plans this morning, you may want to consider heading to Mammoth tomorrow for the 16th Annual Mammoth Festival of Beers & Bluesapalooza. We’re a little irked that the festival’s sto... more

  • Summer Getaway: Ojai

    Whenever someone we know goes to Ojai, it’s usually because they’re being whisked away by some paramour or another for a $$$$ weekend that leaves them looking refreshed and -- to even greater insult -- happy. As such, this unassuming to... more

  • BGG Weekender: Lions, and Tigers, and Beers -- Oh My!

    We’d like to be in Ojai this weekend (following this amazing itinerary, ahem), especially because the Ojai Classic Rock Fest is happening, and it looks b*tchin’ (read: or...something). However, we can’t skip town because we’... more

  • BGG Weekender

    We don’t usually say things like this, but this is the kind of weekend you’re going to want to manipulate your biggest admirer into spending with you. Why? Because there are a ton of date-worthy concerts to hit up (and you may need a li... more

  • People Magazine Editor Dishes On Her Favorite Neighborhood Haunts

    In anticipation of our all-night happy hour tonight at Oscar's Cerveteca in Venice, we asked People Magazine (obsessed!) editor and long-time westsider Aili Nahas to dish on some of her favorite spots in Venice and other local ‘hoods she ... more

  • How To Date In LA (Without Needing Years of Therapy)

    We are constantly being encouraged to write a book about the misadventures of our dating lives -- it’d be something like Bridget Jones meets Armageddon.  In other words, we need help. Since we meet enough sociopaths in the non-digit... more

  • BGG Weekender

    Poor Sunset Junction (f you didn’t know, it’s been cancelled)...we can certainly sympathize with being a "little" behind on paying the bills. You’ll be missed (RIP Sunset Junction, 1980-2011).  Not to worry, though, there a... more

  • Late Summer Staycation: Manhattan Beach

    While most of the country is easing its way into fall, summer in LA has only really just begun. This is the time of year which begins the bitterness of our East Coast counterparts, as our Facebook statuses boast of 80 + degree temperatures as far i... more

  • BGG Weekender

    We can’t believe it’s already Labor Day.  If life keeps up at this pace, we’ll soon be writing the Golden Girl’s Guide to LA (early bird specials, here we come!).  However, since our youth hasn’t quite waned ... more
