Letter from the Editor 

Seasons are a constant reminder of change. And because we 

know what season is coming next, we have that sense of 

certitude and security in this cycle of life. These past few days 

have been a difficult reminder of the illusion we cling to. The past 

two strong earthquakes here in California have made us a little 

nervous. Are we prepared? The answer is often a very shy yes. 

We kind of prepare for the inevitable in life hoping it will not 

happen. Some people are trying to "live" in a blissful denial. But is 

it healthy for our soul? Most likely not. 

While I was fearing a third and more powerful earthquake, I also 

learned of the passing of 20 year old actor Cameron Boyce. It 

shook me way more than the strongest earthquake ever could. I 

had the pleasure of collaborating with this charismatic young man 

when we launched TILTED magazine. I thought he was so perfect 

for the concept I had in mind. Mark Twain said that “a man who 

lives fully is prepared to die at any times” and Cameron sure was 

the definition of that quote. He lived his life like a universe in 

expansion; that is the only way I could describe the energy I felt in 

his presence. You could feel it even if you just spent a couple of 

hours with him. So I asked myself, “does that force die when we 

die?” It seems unlikely that this energy we are expressing here is 

just a burst of nothing to nothing. But rather, our impact remains 

even after we are gone. 

One thing we are all facing in this life are obstacles. So, while it 

feels and seems easier at times to complain, to find excuses, to 

blame others, and even hurt others with our actions and 

decisions: by doing so, we are actually suffocating ourselves and 

our energy. We feel anxious because we still believe we have 

the ability to control the world around us. That third shake I was 

dreading did not come but surely shifted (or realigned) something 

in me. I realized you can affect someone’s life with just a meeting 

and without even being aware of it. Only our ego likes to keep 

records of things (good or bad) so we need to let that go in order 

to live the life we are supposed to. That chance may not come 

around so easily again so why jeopardize something greater than 

“ourselves" for short term illusions? That is the reminder (along 

with stocking up on non perishable food and water) this summer 

has brought me so far. 

With all my love.

Summer 2019 is the Summer of Max Ehrich. 

He’s dominating summer airwaves 

with his roles in two new hits. He stars as 

Tate Watkins in a new Netflix film called 

Walk. Ride. Rode. about real-life barrel 

racing star Amberly Snyder who continued 

to press on after becoming paralyzed; 

in addition to Walk. Ride. Rodeo., 

Ehrich stars in a new Lifetime series titled 

American Princess. 

The two very contrasting projects allowed 

Ehrich to flex his breadth as both 

a comedic and dramatic actor. “I think 

they’re just completely different genres, 

so just the respect you want to pay to 

the person or the event that the story is 

based on definitely had a huge impact on 

how I play the character.” 

Since Walk. Ride. Rodeo was based on 

a true story, Ehrich’s preparation for the 

role differed a bit from fictional roles projects. 

“I did a lot of research beforehand; 

I wanted to be as informed as possible 

as to the actual story. Even though my 

character is fictional, I wanted to know 

everything I know about the real life Amberly 

so I could go into there having full 

knowledge of the project I was entering 

into.” 

Despite the two projects contrasting 

heavily, Ehrich still achieved something 

he does with every character he plays: 

learning about himself through his characters. 

“For each character, I always bring 

part of myself to relate to the characters 

and so I can do it in the most truthful and 

authentic way. I’d say characters also inform 

me about aspects about myself that 

I hadn’t necessarily seen on my own. It’s 

a two way street.” 

Though acting is one way for Ehrich to 

interact with his inner self, music has 

served as another important outlet for the 

star. Ehrich has a deep passion for music, 

something that is evident with his song in 

Walk. Ride. Rodeo., which he wrote with 

Amberly Snyder. “For many years I’ve 

been playing characters in different projects, 

and music is a way to express myself 

without playing a role. It feels like I’m 

taking off the mask and sharing my life 

experience, my heart, so it’s a pretty vulnerable 

experience. Been writing songs 

for years and stuff, but it’s been this passion 

I kept to myself. After the song were 

placed in the film, I felt inspired to share 

more after seeing the reaction that I was 

affecting people. When you affect people 

on a personal and emotional level, it inspires 

you to continue.” 

Just as Ehrich shines through on the 

screen, his musical talent is evident as 

well. He has an impressive musical vocabulary 

that influences his music, including 

the Beatles, 90s grunge, Daniel 

Caesar, and John Mayer. “I really grew 

up on John Mayer, who is a huge influence 

for me. My music taste has allowed 

myself to dive deep, especially as a guy in 

society, we’re told to put on a tough face 

and just move on. John Mayer was an 

inspiration moving on because he’s really 

vulnerable. He’s a huge inspiration.” 

Ehrich’s respect for vulnerability and introspection 

not only comes from his interest 

in holistic healing, yoga, and meditation. 

“I’m a big fitness guy as well. I 

love going to the beach, I love anything 

that’s nature oriented. I’m into holistic 

herbs and healing. I’m always fascinated 

by different ways we can heal our bodies 

through natural ways, that’s really intriguing 

to me.” 

These interests and practices influence 

Ehrich’s worldview, as he advocates for 

appreciating the present. When asked 

what he would advise his younger self to 

do, he responded, “To not take myself so 

seriously. I think that we’re in a culture 

where we’re really defined by the things 

that we do and our time here is a bit limited, 

so I think it’s okay to enjoy the process. 

It's okay to strive for a bit more but 

I think It’s important to enjoy what is.” 

As he continues to enjoy his current successful 

summer, Ehrich does have plans 

to continue to grow as an artist and share 

his passions with the world. “I just want 

to continue to dive into projects, like acting 

roles that challenge me and continue 

to bring me out of my comfort zone, I feel 

like that’s the only way we can grow. I 

want to put out my music and have an 

impact on society in a positive way and a 

way that get people thinking and feeling 

more deeply.” 

Be sure to catch Ehrich in Walk. Ride. 

Rodeo. on Netflix, American Princess on 

Lifetime in addition to listening to his latest 

musical releases “Ride” and “Somebody 

Else,” available on all music streaming 

services.

exclusive 

conversation 

with 

Sarah Jeffery

The charming and talented actress Sarah Jeffery has been making 

moves recently with her role on the drama series CHARMED 

and her role on DESCENDANTS 3, coming out August 2nd. 

Having also starred on three seasons as Jennifer Lopez's daughter 

on the drama series SHADES OF BLUE among other projects, 

Jeffery has been making moves in the industry. 

Beautiful and talented, Sarah Jeffery is on the rise and continues to 

do so as she balances her two worlds.

Production: @BELLOmediaGroup x @MaisonPriveePR_LA 

Tell me more about your experience being one of the lead 

roles on the drama series CHARMED. 

I feel very grateful and lucky to have stepped into the role of 

Maggie on Charmed. The show itself has such a strong message, 

it’s very in line with my political views and is all for women 

supporting women, which I think we could definitely use 

right now. Additionally, Charmed is such an iconic show and 

was so ahead of it’s time, I was so excited to be a part of a 

new iteration of it. Maggie is also just such a fun character to 

play, very multifaceted. She’s smart, caring, and empathetic, 

but she's also a girly girl who's into fashion and I think its important 

to remind young women that they can be both these 

things and they don't have to fall into one category. 

How does it feel knowing that the second season of 

CHARMED has already been renewed? 

It feels great. We worked really hard on the first season, 

long hours, intense fight scenes, lots of magical elements of 

course… I’m stoked to get to do it all again. 

What do you look forward to the most in the second season? 

I look forward to developing the magical side of things. Potential 

new powers, more fighting and combat… I honestly have 

no idea what they're cooking up in that writers room but I can 

only hope it includes some of that! 

The Disney Channel Original Film DESCENDANTS 3 is set 

to come out in August. Which role do you play in it? 

I play Audrey, Sleeping Beauty’s daughter. She was raised as 

a princess and has an attitude to match. You get to see a new 

side of her in Descendants 3, and I'm so stoked for people to 

see what we created for this third film in the franchise. 

What are some key differences you have had to adapt to 

between filming a TV series and filming a movie? 

9 pages a day. There are definitely pros and cons to both. 

If you could have any powers, what would they be? 

I would love to be able to teleport, I have such a busy schedule 

and not a lot of down time, so if I could teleport I’d save a 

lot of time on travel and actually be able to take vacations on 

the weekends! 

How would you describe your fashion style? 

Honestly, it varies so much depending on my mood. Some 

days I'm a lot sportier, some days I'm girly and preppy, and 

other days I’m in chill street style clothes. Fashion is a big part 

of self expression to me so I’m always exploring new looks. 

What would you say is your biggest goal in life? 

I guess I would say to continue working on great projects, and 

sign on to projects that I am excited about and can really get 

behind. That and just to be happy and healthy. 

Could you share with me a favorite memory on set (any 

set) ? 

One of my favorite on set memories was shooting the finale 

song/dance on Descendants 3. It’s allegedly the last film in the 

franchise (who ever really knows) and I’ve known these people 

for over 5 years now, and getting to perform with that family 

and celebrate what we've created over the past half a decade 

was really special. 

Picture yourself 10 years from now: what do you see? 

I see someone who has crossed off a lot of her goals but is 

still working very hard to cross off more. I definitely am a hard 

worker and will continue to be, and I hope that 10 years from 

now I am happy with not only my professional life but my personal 

life as well. 

I guess the main difference would be pace. With feature films 

you really get to take your time and specifically with Descendants, 

we had a lot of rehearsal time to nail our big song and 

dance numbers. You shoot a LOT less pages in a day with 

films. With TV the pace is insanely quick, sometimes you don't 

get as much time as you want, and sometimes we shoot up to

Madame X 

by Sam Spotswood 

One of the biggest influences in pop music history has released 

her 14th studio album, Madame X. This album, perhaps Madonna’s 

best work, reflects her artistic expertise while also including 

brand new influences based on her experience living in Portugal 

that will satisfy fans old and new alike. Because the album 

showcases Madonna’s mysterious, cosmopolitan alter ego, the 

namesake of the album, the work as a whole experiments with 

new sounds and provocative topics, continuing Madonna’s legacy 

of pushing the envelope through her music. 

The opening track “Medellin” featuring Maluma sets the precedent 

for the album, establishing steamy lyrics alongside worldly 

themes and sonic patterns, reflecting the experimental nature 

of the album. Even so, this song eases the audience into the 

mold breaking to come. While the next track, “Dark Ballet” at 

first doesn't seem like a natural progression from “Medellin,” its 

attempt to break traditional song structures makes it the perfect 

fit. The mechanized sounding 

waltz that sits in the center of 

the song is reminiscent of similar 

innovative efforts by Queen 

with classic songs like “Millionaire 

Waltz” from 1976’s A Day 

at the Races. 

The third track, “God Control,” 

follows a similar trajectory as 

“Dark Ballet” with its rejection 

of typical song structures. The 

harmonizing chorus at minute 

one especially stands out, contrasting 

with the more rap-like 

introduction to the song; the 

chorus leads into an electronic 

glam-pop sequence seemingly 

inspired by the instrumentation 

and electronic beats of 

RuPaul’s “Supermodel (You 

Better Work)” before returning 

to the harmonizing chorus 

to close out the song. The influences 

heard in this track do 

not translate or flow to the next 

track, “Future” featuring Quavo, 

but instead continues the 

theme of diverse musical patterns. “Future” implements beachy 

reggae technical elements, including trumpets, steel drums, and 

reggae-inspired guitar chords. Quavo’s feature initially may seem 

like an attempt to reach “kids these days,” but proves otherwise, 

as his verse seamlessly fits into Madonna’s creation. 

After “Future,” Madame X reaches a turning point, signalling 

the shift to radical political commentary the rest of the album 

adopts. The next track continues to break the cohesiveness 

of the album, drawing upon more house, EDM, and (surprisingly 

enough) folk music in “Batuka” (of Orquesta Batukadeiras of 

Lisbon, Portugal). Madonna’s synthesized vocals on this track 

sonically contrast with the voices of the Orquesta Batukadeiras 

singing in Portuguese, producing an intentional dichotomy used 

to demonstrate the adversity felt by women around the world, 

including the women in the Orquesta. 

International influences and political commentary continue with 

“Killers Who Are Partying,” as demonstrated with the sultry Spanish 

guitar and the chorus is sung in Portuguese. This song is the 

most poignant one on the album, speaking to various political 

and human rights concerns present in the world today, including 

the oppression of members of the LGBTQ community, women, 

exploited children, Muslims, and more. Her radical statement 

of allyship are syntactically simplistic, yet tackle complex issues 

through a complex musical production. This interplay most firmly 

establishes the mission of the album. 

“Killers Who Are Partying,” while the most outwardly radical on 

the album, is the most characteristic song of the album--the 

strong guitar on the track bleeds into “Crave” featuring Swae 

Lee; the Portuguese chorus translates to the more traditionally 

Madonna-esque track “Crazy” and the fully Portuguese song 

“Faz Gostoso” featuring Brazilian artist Anitta; and the Latin influences 

are heard in her second 

song featuring Maluma, 

“Bitch I’m Loca” (which also 

seems to implement Bollywood 

influences). The worldliness of 

the musical composition, while 

making the album sound interesting, 

takes a back seat in “Killers 

Who Are Partying,” as well 

as the final song of the album “I 

Rise,” which features snippets 

from activist Emma Gonzalaz’s 

2018 “We Call BS” speech. Incorporating 

the groundbreaking 

words of a politically active 

youth captures the essence of 

Madame X’s lyrical composition; 

Madonna’s advocacy for 

social change in tandem with 

her worldly instrumentation and 

production firmly establishes 

Madonna’s call for a collective 

movement towards progressivism 

and equality for the global 

population. 

Overall, Madame X is an experience--one 

that takes the listener 

for a ride through a dark world in dire need of change with 

Madonna as our guide. Madonna’s reputation as a trendsetter 

and mold breaker continues with this album, possibly even more 

so than her other works. While verses seem to include the popular 

meters dominating the radio airwaves at the moment, the 

timbral effects produced by the rich instrumentation influenced 

by a variety of international genres, computer-manipulated vocals, 

and radical lyricism reinvigorates the current dry spell pop 

music is experiencing. Furthermore, the sonic experimentation 

awakens the listener, allowing Madonna to spread her political 

activism in the most effective manner possible. With Madame 

X, Madonna brings her artistry to a younger audience (as well as 

her older fans) in a way that is receptive to their inclusive postmodern 

sensibilities, demonstrating yet again to the world that 

she is the Queen of Pop.

All In the Family: 

JAGMAC's Pop Power 

by Sam Spotswood 

Following in the footsteps of sibling groups like the Jackson 5 and the Jonas Brothers, 

Baltimore natives Jared, Alyssa, Gabriel, Manjo, Angelique, and CJ Patalinghug 

(collectively known as JAGMAC) 

have made an impressive mark on the pop world. 

From their first single in 2015 to their UK tour with Little Mix to their recent acquisition 

of the title of Radio Disney’s “Next Big Thing,” 

Jagmac’s wholesome, dance worthy pop discography has earned them recognition 

from elite members of the music industry. The group continues to progress 

and gain more success, as seen with their latest hit “Like a Band.” BELLOmag got to talk to JAGMAC and ask 

them about their relationship as siblings, their musical influences, songwriting process, and more! 

As a group of siblings, how do you think being in a band together 

has changed your relationship? 

Our relationship has changed in the best way possible! We have 

become closer as siblings and as band members. We’re not 

perfect, and we do have our moments, but we somehow make it 

work. 

How do you think being siblings influences your creative 

process and your group collaboration? Who would you say 

contributes the most/who is the laziest (lol)? 

Well, we all grew up listening to the same type of music early on, 

so we all have a similar taste in music. Also, being siblings helps 

because we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. 

Jared: What’s it like being the youngest? Does the order 

from oldest to youngest impact how the band works? 

Being the youngest has its perks and downfalls for sure, but I 

love being the youngest because I get all the attention! LOL. 

Each family dynamic is different, but we make sure to respect 

each other as siblings and artists, no matter the age. 

What is your songwriting process like? 

Our songwriting process varies depending on which producer 

we’re working with, but it usually consists of us sitting around 

the piano, coming up with different melodies. Then from there, 

different words will flow and then a concept will eventually develop. 

What is your favorite JAGMAC song and why? 

CJ - “No Plans” is my favorite song because it’s the most fun to 

perform! 

Alyssa - “Like Me” would be my favorite because the lyrics are 

so relatable and it’s also a very fun song to perform. 

Manjo - “No Plans” is my favorite because there’s a lot of 

B-More club influence in the production. 

Gabriel - “Right Back With You” is my favorite song because it’s 

one that will never get too old to perform! 

Angelique - “Be Honest” would have to be my favorite because 

the lyrics are everything that we stand for and it’s like our anthem 

song! 

Jared - “Like Ooh” is my favorite because it’s super fun song to 

dance to! 

How do each of you add your individuality to each song/performance? 

We all add our individuality just by being ourselves when we 

perform! It’s so important to have our moment to express ourselves 

creatively so that the audience can see the flavor that 

each member has! 

What was it like touring with Little Mix? 

Touring with Little Mix was a dream come true! They’re such 

sweet girls and we had such a blast being on tour with them! 

Playing in different cities every night with thousands of people 

was an experience we’ll never forget! 

What is your favorite part of tour? 

Favorite part of tour would be hearing the fans sing our songs 

back to us! 

You’re from Baltimore. What was it like getting to perform in 

your hometown? 

Our first headlining show in Baltimore was totally epic! So many 

people came out, not only our friends/family, but other people 

we had never seen before! 

As Filipino artists, what do you think about the importance 

of Asian-American representation in Hollywood and the music 

industry? 

It’s so important because everyone should be proud of where 

they come from! To be able to connect with your roots is such 

an amazing thing that shouldn’t ever be hidden or ashamed of. 

We also look up to some Filipino artists like Bruno Mars, the 

Black Eyed Peas and even artists like Prince and H.E.R. who are 

also half Filipino like us! 

What are some of your hobbies outside of music? 

Aside from music, we like sports, teaching Martial Arts and 

hanging out with friends and family. 

Manjo, I heard you’re the cook in the group. What are some 

of your favorite things to cook? 

“My favorite thing to cook at the moment is Butter Chicken.” 

Who is one artist each of you would like to collaborate with? 

Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Bruno Mars, Thomas 

Rhett, Beyonce, and Shawn Mendes. 

Who are some of your musical influences? 

The Jackson 5, Black Eyed Peas, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, 

Spice Girls

The inner ears of their earpieces are the colors of the power rangers and 

they each want a motorcycle with power ranger colors. 

Music that inspired them: Jackson five, Black Eyed Peas, Bruno Mars 

They toured with little mix, performing at O2 arena

Craziest fan moment 

In the Philippines they were performing at a benefit concert for the town their grandparents 

live in and there was no security (their aunt played auntie and cop). 

As they said, “She’s tiny but fierce.” 

Three thousand people in outdoor auditorium and at the end they got mobbed on stage 

(asking for autographs and pictures etc, TOTAL CHAOS). 

Had to hold on to each other to get out of there!

CHARLES LOTT JR. 

Charles Lott Jr. had not made any specific plans for his future but it seems 

that the universe already had. After only a couple of auditions, 

Charles landed his comic relief role as Ron "Chubbs" Hendricks in an 

upcoming film featuring Ben Affleck. Ironically, the film is about basketball and 

Charles had never been a good ball player. 

That did not stop him and his will and determination to do right by the movie is 

strongly felt. Charles Lott is just beginning his career in the film industry 

and his strong and beautiful spirit is bound to continue bringing him to higher 

places and fast. Keep a look out!

We know you are performing in an upcoming film with an 

interesting cast: tell me more about your role in it and what 

the film is about. 

My character name is Ron “Chubbs” Hendricks! I am the Comic 

Relief in such a Heartsore film. It’s about a comeback story, 

a man who was a promising basketball star who had a Transient 

career due to alcoholism; he loses so much and ends up 

regrouping and gaining it back through the youth of a basketball 

team. He ends up growing to love them after an Augean 

grueling path. 

The story line revolves around basketball. Was that a sport 

you used to play ? If not, what are some obstacles you encountered 

in preparing for the film? 

I did not play basketball growing 

up. I sucked. You’d think that I 

would’ve gotten better after months 

of hard vigorous training! It’s honestly 

sad when I had to workout 

in front of the athletic coordinator 

for the movie I went to the 99 

cent store and bought an ugly cast 

and taped it around my hand so if 

I sucked (which I did) I would have 

an excuse and it worked!! It was 

just hard going to practice seeing 

everyone better than me but I 

worked hard in trying to look like I 

knew what I was doing 

I heard you met with some great 

cast members. As you are at the 

start of your career, how was it 

playing in a film alongside Ben 

Affleck? 

He is the most amazing, nicest, 

most genuine person I have ever 

met, and I’m not just saying that I 

actually mean it I love that man to 

death. He “adopted” me. I’m his 

son now: ask him he’ll tell you he 

has given me so much game to this 

business and I feel so special to 

even be in his inner circle and hang 

out with him, we’re really close. I 

was talking to him yesterday and 

I’m still in ahhhh. I hope to work 

with him again he’s really like a father figure. 

Was there a specific person or event that inspired you to 

become an actor? 

Growing up I loved Will smith and Leonardo DiCaprio--I idolized 

them. I watched them religiously as they were my favorite 

actors. I loved Denzel as well; those men have such have such 

a command onscreen that forces you to keep your eyes on 

them. Obviously, there are tons of people I can name but those 

are my favorites growing up! 

Tell me more about yourself. What are some of your favorite 

hobbies? 

Man I am a simple guy I love to listen to music, I loveeeeee 

watching movies and reading screenplays!! hang out with 

friends, workout, I am a video game addict and love to party! I 

just can’t be bored!!!! 

What are some key lessons you have learned over the last 

year? 

I use to hear that “patience is a virtue” and it sound like this 

stupid cliche saying that keeps people’s hopes alive but it’s 

actually true especially with the cinema industry. It’s hard to 

become a movie star but if you have a dream and really believe 

in it and have patience it will come: every no is one step closer 

to a yes! Even I used to get down after I didn’t book roles that I 

really wanted but now I just brush it off and move on. Some of 

the roles I auditioned for wasn’t even close as big as the movie 

I did now, I did a few tv show auditions and I thought that it was 

the end of the world and BOOM a movie came up. Another thing 

I learned is always stay prepared and don’t be afraid to take 

risks it’s always better to be prepared and not have the opportunity 

then to have the opportunity 

and not be prepared I always have 

the five P’s proper preparation prevents 

poor performance. Never 

be afraid to take risks!! If you take 

them and it doesn’t work out so 

be it! You only miss the shots you 

don’t take you never know what 

might happen ALWAYS TAKE THE 

RISK!! Especially if it’s something 

you believe in. 

If you could pick any role to play 

in the future, what would it be? 

What kind of movie would you 

like to be in? 

I just want to show my versatility 

in roles and wanting to show how 

ambidextrous I am. I feel confident 

enough that I can play multiple 

genres and characters! But if I 

had to narrow it down, at the moment 

I want to do something like 

Kingsman Secret Service it seems 

like something cool to show and 

it looked a lot of fun to be a secret 

agent would also wolf of Wall 

Street, 21 jump street, that Godzilla 

movie that came out, comedies, 

but I also loved the role in I am legend 

I can go on good fellas, Phillip 

Seymour Hoffman in the master, 

raging bull, Lawrence of Arabia, 

rain man, there will be blood,Django 

Moonlight, When they See us, the list can go on!! 

Growing up, had you ever imagined you would become an 

actor? If not, what did you dream of becoming? 

It sucks to say I didn’t, I played football I always wanted to be 

a professional athlete if that didn’t work I was going to become 

a business owner. I wanted to own my own nightclub like my 

father did. I was so close, we found the building, had the start 

up money and everything but I booked the movie!! but growing 

up people always told me I should become an actor. I’ve always 

had comparisons throughout my career that I will be the 

next will smith from casting directors and other people I mean 

who wouldn’t have want have a career like his, his career is a 

template for a lot of people. so it was definitely something I 

had in the back of my mind and I always loved movies and cinematography 

it would’ve happened regardless this was meant 

to happen I feel. would go to the church choir while they were 

singing and conduct at 2 years old my mom still has the video 

ahaha!! I’ve always been a character.

DESTINATION 

Palm Springs 

3 

by Stéphane Marquet 

A relaxing Oasis just two hours away from 

Los Angeles, Palm Springs has been my favorite 

place for a weekend or even a week 

long escape under the Desert sun. There are 

some iconic hotels that will immerse you into 

the resort lifestyle such as The Parker but my 

ideal setting is a mid century house with a private 

pool overlooking the majestic mountain 

and the endless sea of palm trees (that will 

glitter like diamonds during the golden hour). 

Get yourself some fresh fruits, sorbet, a good 

book and your favorite summer drink (mine 

is a splash of Grenadine On iced Water) and 

you'll be set for a hot summer day. Shade, 

you do need shade! Ideally natural shade 

from mature trees that will keep you cool. The 

only real exercise will be going in and out of 

the pool for the rest of the day. This is the 

perfect combo for a dreamy vacation. All I 

usually do is leave the house to eat. Shaded 

breakfast at Norma's patio at The Parker (1), 

Lunch at LULU's Café, Lobster Rolls is my to 

go (2). On your drive back home make sure to 

cruise around Vista La Palmas neighborhood 

to enjoy some fine Mid Century architecture 

(3). However, if that is where you rental is then 

that would make you the luckiest individual in 

town. Once the sun dives behind the mountain, 

it's already time to get ready for dinner 

under the stars at Birba's (4). The food is 

just incredible and not overpriced; my suggestion: 

try their roasted Cauliflower, Melon, 

Prosciutto, and White Pizza ... I mean everything 

we had there was delicious. After dark 

and before going back for a night dive in your 

pool, take a quick detour to The Parker and 

order the Smore's that you will enjoy making 

around their fire pit.
