Work commitments have meant that Leona has been splitting her time between the US and UK over the past few months. While she loves so many things about life in the US there are still plenty of things she misses from the UK. With this in mind we’d like fans to compile two lists of creature comforts – ten things you love about the US and ten things you love about the UK!...
Your list can include absolutely anything…from a particular cultural habit or way of life, to a restaurant, brand, place of interest, celebrity, shop or TV show…the US and UK are your oyster!
Each week we’ll be uploading some of our favourite suggestions and featuring them on Leona’s homepage. Then in four weeks time we’ll be compiling all your suggestions out of which Leona will comment on her favourites!
We’ll since I from LA, it only seems right that I do an LA list
- The Grove LA
- Hollywood Blvd
- Benihana Restaurant (I’d highly recommend it to Leona, gr8 food/personal cook)
- The theater or as you guys say Cinema
- Favorite Sitcom of all-time: The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (classic)
- Cali beaches (Venice, Santa Monica, Malibu…)
- Favorite site: Youtube.com
- Shopping @ Urban Outfitters/ American Apparel Shops
- Organic Food (Trader Joes, Whole Foods)
