Living the Dream with Yume’s Modern Japanese Fusion

by Naomi Pandolfi August 11, 2023
written by Naomi Pandolfi

 

Nestled in the heart of Studio City, California, ‘best kept secret’ Yume Sushi Bar serves up its modern take on traditional Japanese fare, ‘Yume’ (pronounced ‘you-meh’), which means ‘dream’ in Japanese, transports guests to a sensory experience they won’t soon wish to end.


Well-known around the food circuit for its use of exceptionally fresh, premium-grade ingredients, the bright, wood-paneled restaurant delivers on its promise. Yume’s skillful chefs wow guests with a menu featuring innovative dishes from exquisite sushi rolls, sashimi specials, and tempura to crispy rice and kushiyaki, among other signature offerings.

 

 

The restaurant also provides guests the opportunity to experience a global sake menu, not to mention other luxurious curations. The Yume Box, which is a steal, comes with the namesake Yume Roll (spicy tuna and mushrooms, topped with avocado and tuna), truffle edamame, four pieces of sushi (chef’s choice), truffle avocado toast, and finally, the garlic albacore roll.


With something for everyone, Yume is the perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Reservations are highly encouraged. Not a seafood fan? The restaurant offers a delicious array of seafood-free items including corn tempura, Tsukune Chicken meatball skewers, and the vegan roll, all of which will send your taste buds soaring just as high as anything else on the menu.



Yume is located at 12254 Ventura Boulevard, just blocks from Laurel Canyon, in Studio City, California. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Be sure to snag a reservation and treat yourself to some truly divine, modern, and authentic Japanese cuisine.

Paris Hilton x FabFitFun: Sliving It Up

by Naomi Pandolfi July 23, 2023
written by Naomi Pandolfi

Two icons team up to bring you an expertly curated box filled with a blend of summertime essentials. The Paris Hilton x FabFitFun collab brings valued members a personalized ‘Summer of Sliving’ experience (slaying + living your best life = ‘sliving,’ as coined by Paris).

Speaking on the collab, Paris Hilton said,

“I’m excited to team up with FabFitFun because they’re all about feeling fabulous while living your best life. Together, we’re hoping to inspire everyone to embrace their unique journey, find their bliss, and slay their way through summer with my personalized Summer of Sliving kit, complete with my favorite essentials.”

This summertime takeover box, curated by the iconic Paris Hilton herself, features a nod to Pride Month with a rainbow-infused aesthetic, and I am ‘sliving’ for it.

Packed with summertime goodies galore that fit perfectly with the theme and captures the essence of Paris, this box features the following products.

  • Topicals Faded Under Eye Masks ($22.00)
  • Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50 ($24.00)
  • CYLO Record Player Speaker ($59.99)
  • Dime Optics Cienega Aviator Sunglasses ($30.00)
  • Eight Other Reasons Star Earrings in Silver ($64.95)
  • Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla Beige ($24.00)

While everything in this box was delightfully fitting for the summer, my personal top faves were the Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50, the CYLO Record Player Speaker, and the Topicals Faded Under Eye Masks.

The sunscreen is a luxurious, ultra-fine mist that allows you to easily touch-up your sun protection while out and about without laying a finger on your face.

The speaker is adorable, and better yet, I love that all the pieces are functional; the record player arm is what powers on the speaker, which I thought was a nice touch. Perfect for any barbecues or beach fun I have planned this summer.

I’m also loving the under eye masks. As someone who’s always on the go, these eye masks stay put, allowing me to do other things while beautifying, and that’s something I really appreciate.

With a retail value of $224.94 and a cost of a $59.99, this box gives you more than your money’s worth.

Since its launch in 2010, FabFitFun has rocketed to the top, delivering a seasonal assortment of full-size products that encompass beauty, fashion, fitness, wellness, home, and tech. Each box features a handpicked selection from both premium and emerging brands, giving members an effortless way to indulge in the latest trends. Elevate your lifestyle with FabFitFun.
