Malibu Seafood: A restaurant and a fishmonger establishment The largest per cent of our personal food consumption consists of seafood. I have about three or four fish market places which I love to frequent due to the  of the quality and freshness of their seafood product. Malibu Seafood is one of them. Just the other day I had to go preview some land in Malibu so needless to say on the way home I had to stop in and buy a few items for dinner. For the tourists as well as the locals, it is a great place to order and enjoy the food on their Patio.  I just love going into the place and buy whatever I am in the mood for and that becomes dinner for me and Diane. Interestingly the prices are reasonable for buying their products as well as if you choose to eat there. They have been here since 1... 02/16/2014

Undeniably that is a part of the equation and of the demographics of Malibu. What many do not realize is that those who consider Malibu and call it home are many of the Billionaires of the United States as well as the world?

The good news is that there are ... 02/15/2014

Three homes in the Malibu Neighborhood "The Colony" are currently available for lease. An exclusive, gated community filled with mostly celebrities, the Colony is one of Malibu's premiere spots for ocean and coastline views. A lot of the homes are steps from the ocean.

  Maybe it was love at first sight. Possibly it was a feeling that hit you the next day. Perhaps it was the kind of love that took time to grow. However your feelings developed, a home is just like any other relationship: emotions dull over time and it takes work to add new spark. Image courtesy of digitalart at FreeDigitalPhotos.net Here are five things you can do to breathe new life into your relationship with home and feel good about it again. 1.)  De-clutter: Some of the main reasons that people get sick of their homes is that their tastes have changed and they feel that they have just run out of space.

Escondido Falls in Malibu, CA Trailhead: 27807 Pacific Coast Hwy Malibu, CA 90265        Anyone that follows my blog knows that I love the outdoors, hiking, climbing, and sunsets - in looking for a short hike this past weekend a few friends and I stumbled upon Escondido Falls in Malibu, CA.  While it was a short hike, it was one of my more challenging (for reasons I'll explain later) but offered diverse terrain, the opportunity for climbing, and a perfect sunset on the way back.        The trailhead to Escondido Falls begins along a highway and the first stretch is on a paved road surrounded by houses - visions of suburbia may dance in your head, but at least the homes are some of Malibu's finest, so the scenery is pretty great if you have any interest in architecture.  Once you get to ... 12/19/2013
