I'm not a fancy writer... just a girl that likes a good drink.

And a blog was born....

Wow-oh-wow!!! Today my blog turns one-year-old. It seems like just yesterday I started this little page of mine. *tearing up*  And in this last year, many people have asked me what made me think of starting it. Well of course it gave me an excuse to eat and drink more *wink*, but there is a bit more to the story.

Before starting the blog, I always went to happy hour more than the average person. So much so that people at work called me "the Queen of Happy Hour" (a title I am very proud of). But one day I happened along the best happy hour I had ever found... Kravings in Tarzana. 

Kravings happy hour menu was BEYOND amazing. You were able to get a 1 1/2 lb. chilled lobster for just $20, a Filet Mignon entree for just $9, and lots more. It was just amazing!  So amazing, I took pictures of it and posted it on my personal Facebook page. People were all... "Whaaa??? That's an insane deal!!!"  I also wrote a review on Yelp.com and Yelpers had the same reaction. Then someone said, "Girrrl, you always know the best happy hours. Can you keep posting them on Facebook so I know where you go?"
"Ping!!!" A little light bulb inside head went off and the next day I created L.A. Happy Hours. 

After about a month, I realized that the name was a bit too generic, so I added on my nickname that I've had for years, "Vixen".  If you weren't aware, my name is Victoria and have had the nickname for about 15 years. My family even calls me it, which is kinda of odd when you think about it.

So there you have it. If it wasn't for Kravings in Tarzana, this blog would have never been created. So CHEERS to Kravings! Now here's my first blog review for Kravings. But can I tell you a secret??? Most of it I just copied from the review that I wrote on Yelp. See... I'm definitely not a fancy writer. Just a lazy one. But to honor our beloved Kravings, it's time to update my review on them so their happy hour can have the true glory it deserves.  (Okay, and I'm a cheesy writer, too.)

Me and Love celebrating one year of great happy hours!
And yes we always celebrate with party hats!

So happy birthday to my little baby blog.  Mommy loves you.

  2. Happy Birthday/Anniversary!! Has it only been 1 year?? Wow! It feels like I have been reading your blog forever now. And I do mean that in a good way, Vix. :o)

    Nice story on how your blog came to be. I think I first stumbled upon it while scoping out your profile on Yelp. Little did I know back then, that I would have discovered one of my favorite websites - not just blogs.

    Off the top of my head, I'd venture to guess that I have been to 20 of places you have reviewed and out of those 20, a solid 8 or so have been because YOU brought them to my attention. Thank you so much for your good palette, your sense of adventure and above all, your dedication and time to this blog. =D

  3. Wow... like always, you leave the BEST comments, Memo!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me and it definitely helps on the days I don't feel like writing. You're awesome!
