When I first heard that Veggie Grill in Irvine was calling on all “virgins” to come out for its Virgin Night this Tuesday, I thought that’s not going to be much of a crowd. But then, I realized, a “virgin” was just a friend who is experiencing The Veggie Grill for the first-time. Ok, that’s completely different. So hear you go, on Tuesday you can treat a “virgin” friend to a complimentary entrée provided at The Veggie Grill. Looks like you’re going to have to find out exact details about how to participate on the restaurant’s Facebook and Twitter pages…

It’s no doubt that Sprinkles is the leader in the cupcake craze, but right here in OC, you can find Divine Desserts in Laguna Niguel which specializes in incredible cupcakes, too. Cordon Bleu trained chef/co-owner Leslie Lewis bakes 20 flavors daily, and she creates custom cakes to die for as well. Try for yourself: Divine Desserts is giving a free cupcake (with the purchase of one) just by mentioning Greer’s OC. Also, for a New Year’s Eve and Day special order a dozen gourmet cupcakes for just $33 or a mini-dozen for $15. Check out Divine Desserts on Greer’s OC…

It’s not like shopping hasn’t probably consumed you for the last few weeks, but here’s a chance to save money on cool surf/skate/snow apparel. Surfside Sports after Christmas sale is going on through Dec. 28.

These jeans are made of CoolMax fabric (which I always thought was reserved for socks) and my boys say they fit like no other. 233 East 17th St. in Costa Mesa. 949.645.4624.
