Hi babes!! I recently did a fun interview, and I thought I would share it with you guys here as well! Thank you Citizine for the feature! To see their post, click here. Xo, Saz
Sazan Hendrix is what happens when you let go of the what ifs and shoot for what you love. In her case, that meant pursuing a blogging career and marrying her college sweetheart. The results of her pursuits come alive on her blog and Instagram by way of cover-worthy lifestyle images of her husband, Stevie, and their baby daughter, Valentina. You’d never guess Sazan is a Texas transplant the way she rocks LA. Originally, the move was supposed to be temporary, but the City of Angels really does have a way of capturing your heart through its people and places.
“Even though we’ve lived here for years now, there’s always a new coffee spot we want to check out or a yummy restaurant we’ve been eyeing,” says the lifestyle enthusiast.
Sazan is also the founder of The Bless Box, a carefully curated monthly subscription box where Sazan shares her favorite products. Considering Sazan’s busy schedule, taking time for herself and her family is key for balance. Her perfect morning is a quiet one, starting with a homemade breakfast with Stevie and Valentina, followed by a stroll with their pup, Sweetie. Part of that balance is also making time for romance with Stevie around LA. We asked her to share her favorite date spots that keep them coming back for more.
The Grove
Fairfax
Sazan Hendrix: Are we even shocked that this is my first date night spot?! Lol! I love going there because you have all of the shops, restaurants and even a movie theatre to check out!
Griffith Observatory

SH: This is our go-to for those romantic nights! The view of LA is just so beautiful from there, and best of all it's free! If you've watched the movie La La Land, then you have definitely seen this spot!
Ladurée - Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
SH: Stevie and I love coming here for lunch dates! The decor is just so cute, and their mini burgers are to die for. We always get their macaroons to-go too!
Moonlight Rollerway, Inc
Glendale
SH: This place gives me major old-school date night vibes! Even though I'm not the best at rollerblading it's such a fun spot for us!
Venice Canals Walkway
Venice
SH: If we ever just want to go for a relaxing stroll, the Venice Canals is our favorite. It's so peaceful there, and you almost feel like you're in Italy!
Terroni

Crustacean
Beverly Hills

Inn of the Seventh Ray
Topanga
SH: We recently celebrated Stevie's birthday here and loved it. Their brunch menu is delicious, and the place itself is beautiful. People call it one of the most romantic restaurants in LA and I absolutely agree!
Runyon Canyon Park

Sushi Enya
Downtown
SH: We love our sushi date nights, and this is one of our recent finds! It's located in Downtown Pasadena and surrounded by so many shops. We love the customer service here, and their rolls are double the size of any other sushi spot! Can't complain.
Santa Monica Pier
Santa Monica
SH: Another staple date night for us is the Santa Monica Pier. From walking along the beach or watching the sunset, this place is the ultimate spot to check out!
