4 Holiday Hosting Essentials

If you are like me and are miles from your family this holiday season, make sure to surround yourself with the next best thing, your friends! Host a Friendsgiving, Ugly Sweater Contest, White Elephant Exchange, or just a good old fashioned potluck.

Another idea is to have everyone bring a traditional recipe from their childhood for a holiday themed food contest. At the end, have everyone cast their vote for the most creative name, best presentation, and tastiest. Afterwards, give out silly prizes to the winners. 

Ready to prep your pad for the best holiday party ever? Give us a call at 323-644-5590 to see if the items below are still available.

Daylight Saving Time Just Got A Bit Brighter

Last Sunday, November 6, you likely experienced the highly confusing concept of Daylight Saving Time. Though the extra hour of sleep you gained may have felt pretty good, you probably have no idea why DST is still relevant.

Well the truth is, neither do I. After scouring the internet for some answers, one thing remains clear, no one really knows why we still observe the time change. 

One thing we do know for sure, however, is that the drop in temperature and the decrease in daylight hours means you’ll likely be spending more time indoors -- (and since you probably don’t like bumping into pointy furniture or trying to plug your iPhone charger into an outlet in the dark, you’re going to need some illumination.) Give us a call at 323-644-5590 to see if the items below are still available.

Fancy Some Fun in Acapulco? Us Too.

• Elizabeth Taylor got married there. 
• The Kennedy’s honeymooned there. 
• Hepcat celebrities like Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, and John Wayne vacationed there. 
• Elvis chased around Ursula Andress there (or rather, he chased her around an Acapulco-themed set in Hollywood…but that’s neither here nor there.)

Though Acapulco sees more sunburned spring breakers searching for the nearest foam party than they do celebrities these days, the mid-century Acapulco style continues to have a huge influence on Casa Victoria's design sensibilities. 

The following four pieces have a funny way of transporting us to a tiki hut in the Mexican riviera, our skin still warm from swimming in the sea and diving from cliffs all day. Give us a call at 323-644-5590 to see if they're still available.

4 Scream Worthy 70s Items

What do all the greatest horror movies have in common? They were most likely made in the 1970s. Think about it; there was Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist, Carrie, Halloween, and let's not forget about the scariest flick of all...Grease (I got chills, they're multiplyin'.)

All jokes aside...there is something about the grittiness of the filming, the low budget set and costumes, and the bad acting, that make 70s horror films feel raw, real, and downright scary. 

The four 70s items below are without a doubt, scream worthy. Give us a call at 323-644-5590 to see if they're still available.

Channel Your Inner Caveman with These 4 Vintage Stoneware Pieces

Though we have access to an unlimited amount of knowledge (thanks Wikipedia!), an app that would deliver anything you could ever need to your doorstep, and hover boards, let's not forget how much we still have in common with our Cro-Magnon ancestors. 

1. We love gathering around an open flame whilst gossiping about our neighbors ('tis the BBQ season.)
2. We enjoy hunting (asking Google to find a coupon code before you purchase something online counts as hunting, right?)
3. We travel in packs (anyone else at the table need to use the restroom?)

Below are four items that have serious caveman appeal. Me happy, fire good, stoneware cool. Give us a call at 323-644-5590 to see if they're still available.

Make America 80s Again

Anyone else out there sick of this "day and age"? 

Sure the 80s didn't have Beyoncé in a flouncy yellow dress smashing cars with a baseball bat but they did have Prince in a ruffled blouse prancing around in stiletto boots. 

Sure the 80s didn't have iPhones with cloud storage and geo location capabilities, but they did have this marvelous thing called answering machines which allowed you to screen calls from debt collectors and pesky in-laws. 

Sure the 80s didn't have Netflix, but they did have this amazing video rental store called Blockbuster which allowed you to peruse the new releases while you and your date simultaneously digest the steak and lobster sampler from the Sizzler.

Take a Look in the Mirror and Make a Change

It’s easy to get so wrapped up in your weekly routine that before you know it, six months have passed and you aren’t anywhere closer to achieving your goals. Spring is not only a great time to rid your apartment of winter dust bunnies, add some cheery plants to your windowsill, and tidy up your apartment, but it’s also a great time to reorganize your life. 

Take Some Time to Reflect.

Sit in your favorite chair, put on your grooviest record, and close your eyes. Are you fueling your body instead of just feeding it? Are you listening to your friends’ responses when you ask them how they are doing, I mean REALLY listening? Are you returning your mom’s calls? Are you challenging yourself at work? Are you devoting time to your hobbies? Are you being kind to yourself? 

If You Want to Make the World a Better Place, Take a Look at Yourself, and Then Make a Change.
