beach body

With summer looming and the beaches calling, it seems like everywhere you turn, people are embarking on crash diets in the hopes of getting their bodies into "bikini shape."   While these types of quick-fix programs may seem tempting at first, they usually are so restrictive and impractical that they don't last long enough to see real results - and in the meantime, can make a person miserable! This summer, instead of suffering through a cleanse or swearing off everything but lettuce, try making some small healthy changes that will make you ready for OC's beaches and beyond.  Not only will you achieve the results you want, you'll also feel better and have more fun as you work toward a healthier you.

Tucked away inside of the Irvine Regional Park is a little zoo with a big heart. The zoo recently adopted two orphaned mountain lions, that the public voted to name Modjeska and Santiago. The lions were named after two local canyons that are home to many wild mountain lions. The zoo has a mission of educating the community on local animals and plants that are native to Orange County.

Beer drinking has evolved from guzzling a watered down variety to a definite appreciation for individuality, creativity and style. We can attribute our evolution to the craftsmanship and care talented brewmasters put into developing unique, flavorful beers. Lucky for us, we have several options for drinking tasty suds brewed onsite throughout Orange County.
