An Honest Conversation About Relationships, Insecurity, and Learning to Love Differently BY KIMBERLY HREZO | MONTHLY COLUMN Hi, I’m Kimberly Hrezo, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my new column in LA Living Magazine. Each month, we’ll explore the beautiful, complicated, sometimes messy world of relationships. We’re talking love, sex, trust, intimacy, communication, insecurities, and yes, all that emotional baggage we tend to bring along for the ride. Most importantly, we

From a frightening diagnosis to a growing national network, Man Cave Health is making prevention more approachable and support more personal. In 2016, Tom Milana went for a routine blood test feeling perfectly well. Nothing hurt. Nothing seemed out of place. Yet an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) result led to a prostate cancer diagnosis and surgery. Ten years later, the experience still shapes his life, and the lives of men he may never meet. “I often think about ho

From its first-ever pop-up to a playful collaboration with JELL-O, the Los Angeles-born beauty brand is returning to its roots with a fresh perspective on what it means to build a brand beyond the beauty aisle. In an industry where beauty launches are often measured by product sales, viral moments, and social media impressions, one Los Angeles-born brand is taking a refreshingly different approach. Tower 28, the beloved, sensitive-skin-friendly beauty company founded by entre

In recent years, members-only clubs have become the ultimate marker of modern luxury. From Soho House outposts around the world to private clubs tucked into some of the most coveted destinations, travelers are increasingly drawn to places that offer more than exclusivity; they offer belonging. On the sun-drenched Kona Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, Kohanaiki takes that concept to a new level. Part private club, part residential community, and part island escape, this 450-acre

Founder Ashley Howard has created more than a fitness studio; she has built a movement rooted in the belief that true wellness happens when physical strength, mental clarity, and heartfelt community come together. With the opening of a beautiful new Marina del Rey studio and exciting

For nearly seven decades, Bay Cities has quietly helped shape the products consumers see on store shelves and the packages arriving on doorsteps every day. While many recognize the company for its award-winning packaging and retail displays, Bay Cities has evolved into something far greater than a packaging manufacturer. Today, it is a design studio, technology innovator, logistics partner, retail display solutions provider, and one of the nation's leading employee-owned pac

Some companies are built to generate profits. Others are built to create purpose. For Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, President and CEO of ECOS, success has never been measured solely by revenue, market share, or corporate growth. It has always been measured by something far more meaningful: the lives a business can improve. That philosophy did not begin in a boardroom. It began at home. Kelly grew up watching her father, Van Vlahakis, build what would become one of America's most resp

Founded by Griffin Barkley and Justin Schneir, Tractor was built on the belief that businesses can be both profitable and purposeful. More than a decade after launching the nation's first certified organic beverage company for foodservice, that philosophy remains central

If there’s one thing about my family, it’s that we’re always on the go. Between school activities, busy workdays, and the constant rush of getting everyone out the door, it can be hard to find a moment to reset. That’s why I love HARA Home’s ritual-based candles, which offer a simple six-step practice designed to help you set an intention and create a sense of calm. My favorite is the Shinrin-Yoku candle, inspired by the Japanese practice of forest bathing, with notes of deep

In a world where children’s programming often leans loud, fast-paced, and overstimulating, one Los Angeles mother is creating something intentionally different: a softer, slower, and more meaningful space for young minds to grow. Enter Mindful Minis, a beautifully curated yoga and mindfulness series designed for toddlers and young children to enjoy independently or alongside a parent. Thoughtfully created by Liberté Chan, the series blends movement, mindfulness, emotional awa

Beauty and golf wasn’t an obvious pairing…..Until it was! At first glance, a partnership between Tarte Cosmetics and Masterpiece Golf might feel unexpected. But looking closer, it becomes clear this isn’t just about product or branding. It’s about something bigger: signaling who gets to exist in certain space
