To reward you all for being awesome, we put together an amazing event this Sunday, May 19th, at members-only club 41 Ocean in Santa Monica. It's a health and wellness event, which basically means you're going to get pampered like crazy. On offer are manicures from Bellacures, tea-based...

Maybe some of you didn't get your fill of festival madness after the past two weekends of Coachella. Or maybe you've just been waiting for a festival with a little less of this type of nonsense and a little more of this type of...

We know some people are going back to Coachella this weekend, and to them we say.... You are far more awesome than we will ever be. Also, "Don't take drugs!" (To quote one of our favorite movies of all time.) Also, are you nuts?? One weekend of sunburns,...

There are only so many first dates you can go on so as to lower your grocery bills, right? There's got to be a better way. Especially since most dates are so traumatizing that afterwards, we generally want to curl up inside of a giant tub filled with Ben &...

We know, we know, you're probably going to Coachella. If that's the case, we here at Broke Girl's Guide are going to make things easy for you by suggesting you consult this guide, for where to drink in the desert this guide and

We here at Broke Girl's Guide know that your #1 priority this weekend is probably seeing whether your early longshot pick ends up winning the Final Four, in which case we highly recommend posting up at one of our favorite sports bars for meeting men, er,...

We don't know about you, but sitting here at the Broke Girl's Guide headquarters huddled over our computers hour after hour, week after week, month after month, year after... you get the picture... has us feeling like the hunchbacks of L.A. We were definitely not born to be...

We're obviously excited it's almost the weekend, but we're also wondering if we should be feeling some type of existential angst about the fact that life seems to be passing us by so quickly.

Nah.

Instead, let's focus on the positive, shall we? We've got an amazing...

Woo hoo! The sun is shining, the week is almost over, and we at Broke Girl's Guide are rejoicing at the mere thought of resting comfortably behind sunglasses on a lawn chair or beach towel somewhere in the very near future.

What's more, this weekend includes St....

Summer may have been in the air last week, but we here at Broke Girls Guide are not complaining about this week's downgrade to slightly breezier, more March-appropriate temps. And guess what? We get to spring our clocks forward this weekend, which means less sleep, sure, but also...

So, it's going to be something like 86 degrees outside tomorrow. We at Broke Girl's Guide therefore suggest, nay, insist that you cut class, play hooky at work, or be otherwise irresponsible, because life is short and sunshine is free. Grab some friends, hit the beach, sneak into...

Whew. We made it through awards season, which means we no longer have to hear endless chatter about who is going to what party and blah, blah, blah. It was all very fun, but now it's time to move on with our lives... Don't you think?

OK, fine, you're still...

After a couple days of rain and the devastating news that Dave (remember Dave?!) is dating Britney (as in Spears), we at the Broke Girls Guide could use a couple days of sunshine and frolicking, couldn't you? Sure, it's not a fancy, schmancy long weekend like that flashy...

In the midst of the final stretch of award season (plus, with the drama of this week's weirdo manhunt), we were considering scouring Kayak or Hipmunk for a good deal on travel so as to get as far away from L.A. as we could muster (that is, as far as...

It's T-minus three days until V-Day, and because we're already a little burnt out on the red-and-pink of it all, we've decided to shower the real objects of our affection (that's you, BGG readers!) with some not-at-all-cutesy goodness.

Without further ado, here's what we're up to this week:

Monday

Start...

It's another awards weekend, Los Angeles! So, you know what that means: every bar, restaurant, hotel lobby, 7-Eleven, you name it will be packed to the gills with industry folk waiting for the Grammys to start. But never fear. We know our way around the happenings just fine, and we've...

We're not exactly known for planning our lives well in advance, but when it's important (or especially awesome), we tend to get our act together. So, before we jump into your itinerary for the next couple of days, let's fast forward to next week for details on a night you're...

So, suffice it to say that we started 2013 with a collective bang. It already feels like six months have passed since the ball dropped, what with the epic, voracious flu that's still circulating, weird Catfish-esque dead girlfriend scandals, presidential inaugurations, dodging of fiscal cliffs, etc.

The pure chaos of...

It feels like all anyone could talk about all weekend was Coachella. What a terrible lineup it is; what a fantastic lineup it is; and that age-old Angeleno question: "Are you going?" If we magically stumble across $500, we'll let you know. In the meantime, we'll be busy...

Friday

Start the weekend on a contrary note. LACMA is screening the Chilean film, No, tonight and we'll be there because gawking at Gael García Bernal is somewhat of a regular pastime for us. After, grab a discounted dinner (courtesy of dineLA) at the museum's restaurant
