Our friends next door at teaforest are hosting a fun holiday event this Saturday and next (December 4^th and 11^th) in celebration of the Japanese character, Rilakkuma the relax bear. Browse through exclusive gifts, the Rilakkuma book series, and take a picture with the bear himself in the photo booth. Best part is, the first 50 guests score a goody bag. If you can’t make the events, you can still check out the pop-up shop, which will be up December 6^th – 10^th. Stop by for the fun this weekend!

It was unusually chilly this morning, and with Fourth of July weekend over, my smiling hot latte was a nice pick-me-up. It looks like the sun is coming out too.

I picked up my coffee this morning and saw this face smiling up at me. Hi little guy, you just made my day.

Not your typical graffiti, you might have noticed graffiti animals on the streets of LA, cute enough to make the biggest road ragers smile. As Shepard Fairey’s former assistant at Obey Giant’s Studio Number One, Philip Lumbang’s bears, coined awesome bears, are his signature style. Check out this timelapse video we made of Phil painting the mural next door at teaforest.
