Cleaning Out Your Closet
10.21.09
If you can’t find your favorite sweater, and you need help organizing your closet, then it’s time to call Newport Beach-based Smartstyle. Owner Beth Zehnder specializes in closet organization and wardrobe consultation, and she comes highly recommended to me. Book an appointment you’ll receive a 15% discount good through December. 949.230.8252 or e-mail her here.
Flipping for the OC Rescue Mission
10.20.09
I’m continually in awe of what Newport Beach-based Daddy Cakes is doing for our community. And they’re back at it again Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon by hosting a delicious pancake breakfast at the OC Rescue Mission‘s Village of Hope. Anyone can attend, just pay $5 per person or donate five cans of food or other non-perishable items. Coffee will be provided by Peet’s Coffee & Tea at The District in Tustin. Daddy Cakes will also be serving breakfast to the approximately 200 residents at the Village of Hope and will be donating pancake and waffle mix, the equivalent of more than 3,100 pancakes. Food boxes will be delivered to homeless and families affected by the recession throughout Orange County. OC Rescue Mission’s Village of Hope at One Hope Drive in Tustin. 714.247.4300.
