Surf’s Up
06.08.12
For the past 26 years, Orange County surf local Erik Nelsen has spread the surf stoke to countless kids. Erik and his crew of veteran, CPR and first aid trained instructors offer a safe environment where children ages 5 to 14 learn about the ocean and begin to learn the fundamentals of Orange County's favorite sport, surfing!
This summer, starting June 18th, the surf camp is firing up again for 10 weeks in the world’s greatest playground, the Pacific Ocean. The veteran staff will teach the grom’s not only the basics of wave riding, but also a balance of ocean safety, environmental activities and beach games. The kids will graduate from the one week program as a legitimate mini- surfer.
The program is designed to instill a sense of passion for the sport of surfing as well as a sense of responsibility for the ocean. The program concludes with a pizza party on the beach, with the parents invited down to grab lunch and watches their kids in action.
Come join the Camp down at the beach this summer and enjoy the California sun. Get active and learn a healthy new sport. See you out there!

Leslie’s Lust List | Hint’s of Neon
06.06.12
Are you ready Orange County, because brights are big for the next two seasons and NEON is at the forefront.
Coming off a more drab Fall/Winter color palette, it can take a fashion forward mind to know how to incorporate just the right amount of neon and avoid looking nuclear. But, it can be pulled off successfully as long as you keep some rules in mind; like using electric pops of color with discretion. It’s certainly not a good idea to try to wear neon head to toe, or wear multiple colors of neon all at once. The goal is to look current and fashionable without appearing like you are wearing an 80s-themed costume.
In other words, use neon in small doses. Maybe add a purse, belt, scarf or shoe to an otherwise neutral outfit for a fresh splash of color, and keep the neon pieces simple, in clean lines and a fitted silhouette. Although this trend might not be for everyone, it can be brilliantly pulled off to look very classic and lady like. Take a look at my website for some Bright Ideas on Neon.
