For 14 years, Greer wrote about fashion, dining and trends in Orange County, first as a popular columnist for the Daily Pilot and now as founder of Greer’s OC. Do you have a friend who always seems to be ahead of the trends, who has great taste, who has a great sense of humor and who you just like being around? That’s Greer.
She’s also a mother of four boys and married to a journalist. In her spare time, Greer runs marathons and loves to cook.
It’s a website and free daily e-mail service (called "A Daily Dose of OC") for Orange County that tips you to hot new retail stores, great bargains (available only to free subscribers to "A Daily Dose of OC"), undiscovered dining spots and the latest products and services.
It takes about one minute to sign up. You can do it here. Each day, you’ll receive a short, fun, information-dense shopping or dining tip in your e-mail inbox. It might be about a store opening at South Coast Plaza, a new dish being served at a Fashion Island restaurant or a funky piece of furniture that turned up in a Laguna Beach shop.
Plenty. You get special deals from Orange county retailers and restaurants available only to "A Daily Dose of OC" subscribers. In the upcoming months, you can receive free Greer’s OC podcasts that include interviews with cutting-edge retailers and award-winning restaurateurs.
