"The beautiful bohemian village nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains, where we call home most of the year. Don’t miss a hike at Tuna Canyon, a pilates class at Awen and grab a coffee, organic soft serve ice cream and jar of ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey at Canyon Gourmet. Hit up the Topanga Farmer’s Market if you are visiting on a Friday or Topanga beach right on the Pacific Coast Highway."

"My favorite coffee which I buy in bulk and always have at home. Check out Ally and Casey’s cafe on the east side of Los Angeles in Echo Park."

"A special place that I have been camping many times with my family over the years. Stay at Detjeen’s historic inn, eat dinner or breakfast at the restaurant there. I love the campground at Ventana or if you want something very fancy, go for Post Ranch Inn."

"A stunning rugged peninsula northwest of San Francisco. Visit The JB Blunk Estate and Blunk Space. Eat lunch at Saltwater Oyster Depot and grab a buffalo milk soft serve at the Palace Market in town."

"My friend Serena’s quintessential California homeware store, filled with incredibly beautifully hand selected ceramics, art, home objects, books, and apothecary and pantry items, including ACTIVIST. Serena has impeccable taste!"

"Our first ever ACTIVIST stockist. I love their smoothies, juices and prepared food and salads. Not sure there’s anything else like it in the world – a Los Angeles experience."

"I love a day trip to this gorgeous Topatopa Mountain valley town, especially on a Sunday for the Ojai farmers market. Eat at Rory’s Place, stay at one of the many cute renovated hotels such as Hotel El Roblar or Capri Hotel. Visit the outdoor bookstore Bart’s Books."

"A beautiful cozy restaurant in Sonoma which I always eat at when I am up this way. They have a refined selection of natural wine and don’t miss their signature crispy rice dish and fresh seasonal farmer’s market salads and vegetables. I love the shishito peppers."
