New Skills And Hobbies To Pick Up In Los Angeles

2014 means a new year and a new you. The time is now to branch off and finally pursue those things you've been putting off. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you finally took the plunge and signed up for cooking classes? Or became a mixologist? Or learned another language? What about diving into something you are already passionate about like photography, jewelry making and music? Now is the time.

The days of lavish over the top parties have now been replaced by entertaining and small
intimate dinner parties and get togethers. What better way to WOW your guests than to have
prepared the menu yourself? Allow us to rephrase that, not just decide on what's being served,
but actually utilize what you've learned during your latest cooking class at EATZ LA. Oh, and it
doesn't stop there, because the time you saved finding decorations and tablescapes on
Pinterest, you've taken a course or two in mixology at Sunset Marquis' Bar 1200 Cocktail Lab.
Oh, and don't forget, everyone loves a great cheese board.
