This is probably one of the funnest experiences I've had at a dentist's office (if that makes any sense). When I got my cavity filled, they let me watch DVD's! They call it their "virtual DVD entertainment system". That's what it is. They ask you what genre of movie you want, and then they hand you a little contraption that looks like thick 3-D glasses, and you lean back on the dentist's chair and watch the movie. I chose Meet the Parents, and I couldn't even feel anything throughout my filling. It was kind of weird laughing at the movie while getting my teeth worked on (I almost bit the dentist :)...Anyways, they make going to the dentist really fun (they let you see little video clips of how to floss correctly, of the start of gingivitis, etc...). I loved having them as my dentists.

I've always passed by this store on my way to Burlingame Ave. without ever going in. The reason is because I always thought it would be expensive because it LOOKS expensive (you should check out the themed displays they have in the windows!). Well, last summer, my friend had a 'princess' themed birthday party, where every guest had to wear a crown. Because it was short notice, I decided to check out All that Glitters because it was nearby and I didn't have enough time to drive anywhere. THE LADY WHO WORKS THERE IS SO SO NICE. She is probably one of the nicest sales people I've ever talked to. She's the owner (I'm pretty sure) and loves her customers. She also knows her stuff (jewelry and all that glitters :) She even told me to bring pictures of the birthday party for her to see. I found a GORGEOUS crown for only $9! I'm definitely planning on coming here again!

I haven't personally gotten my hair done here (yet! still looking for the perfect style), but I've come with at least 5 of my friends to get theirs done, and I know a lot of the people who work here. One of my friends got an Ashlee Simpson-style haircut and dye (choppy, short layers with black dye). To be honest, I didn't think the hair dresser could pull it off, but SHE DID! My friend's hair looked SO gorgeous. They make your hair look shiny and healthy. If you want to get your hair dyed or cut, come here! They have really original styles, so you won't look like everybody else!

Whenever I go to Primetime, I always end up working out more than I intended to because they have so many great things to do to exercise. I always go into their basketball rooms to shoot some hoops, or sometimes, I'll bring a soccer ball with me and play some FUTBOL. During the summer, I ALWAYS swim laps at their refreshing pool. It's a great way to work out your shoulders and arms, get a tan, and cool off. This is a great gym (there's one right next to it, too. make sure you try both!).

I support this store 100% because I've been going here forever. All the people who work here (seniors) always have a smile on their face and are always there to help you. This is a small second hand store, but you never know what you can find here. You can also donate stuff (books, toys, clothes, etc...) and they'll give you a receipt for tax purposes. You should check out this place, it's really cute and a great atmosphere.

This mall mostly has everything I NEED, not a lot of stuff I want (meaning, not a lot of original clothes that every girl at my high school doesn't already have :). They have a really nice food court, nice specialty stores (pens, gifts, mattresses). I LOVE their Macy's, they can have some crazy deals there sometimes (juniors and shoe section!). They have really nice staff in most of the stores in Hillsdale. It's two floor, and never usually crowded until Christmas time (and even, then, you can still shop comfortably!).

I have everything I could possibly need to get into shape at this gym. The most important thing is that as you walk in, it always smells clean (not sweaty like other gyms) and it's well lit. Its lobby looks more like a hotel lobby than anything else (it's that clean and spacious). Off to the lobby there's a little "sitting area" with a TV and chairs, etc...where you can relax from the treadmills or whatever and grab a snack. I love the basketball rooms they have here (yes, ROOMS with basketball hoops). I've managed to sneak a soccer ball in there (it's a good area to practice penalty kicks :)...anyways, they also have nice martial arts programs, a GREAT weight room (girls, you'll love this. Spend 30 minutes here, and you'll notice more shapely calves, thighs, tummy, and most importantly, butt :). Try the RAC if you need a new gym. It's adult, senior, and teen friendly!

Whenever I need a music CD I can't find anywhere, all my friends recommend Amoeba. It's pretty far away from where I live so I don't get the chance to go often, but when I do, I always manage to have fun looking at all the different CD's. My favorite section, of course, is the rap and hip hop. My advantage is that the people who usually go into Amoeba aren't usually into that kind of music (they're usually rock fans), so the rap CD's are sometimes priced lower than the others. It's a fun shop to browse!

Most of the people who shop at the Buringame Safeway are people who live in the area and come to do their weekly groceries. That's why the staff knows everybody and everybody knows the staff. Having talked to most of them personally, I can tell you that they are all great, friendly people and are always willing to help. No matter how crowded the store is (even on a Sunday) they'll ask you if you need any help. This store is great for the necessities like I said earlier (milk, butter, eggs, flour, sugar). You probably won't find your Evian water or any other specialty foods here. But I just love the atmosphere.

This gym is designed for women and they have many classes just for the woman's body, etc... It's in a really nice building right before Broadway. Look for the big red sign. They always have classes available (usually 45 minutes to more than an hour) to teach people pilates, aerobics, Caribbean dance, and so much more. Name a class, and they'll have it. I was surprised to see their selection. They have a lot of equipment (all new, there's nothing squeaky or rusty you need to know about. They also have TV's so you can be entertained while you burn those calories.
