The Santa Ana winds have officially made their way to Los Angeles. I love the wind! It reminds me of the power outages we’d have on the Island growing up. We’d spend days with no power. Everything’s so much prettier in candle light— and easier to hide.

When I was younger I used to love it when the power went out. I saw it as an adventure, a movie almost. I would dig through every drawer in the house trying to find candles. After lighting enough candles to make the house smell like cinnamon apples for a week I would strategically place them throughout the house. Two would go in the bathroom, one with every person, and so on. My family thought I was nuts but who need tv when you have an imagination. This didn’t happen often so I took advantage of it as much as possible. Now that I think about it this usually happened when there were terrible snow storms… freezing to death doesn’t sound so great anymore.
