Rutabegorz Tustin Restaurant
If you like healthy but delicious food, you MUST try Rutabegorz. This is one of the best vegan-friendly restaurants I have ever been to. It has an awesome bohemian vibe with fantastic food. Their signature salads are HUGE and come with all kinds of unique, fresh vegetables. The waiters and waitresses are really cool and friendly and they make you feel right at home. Their desserts are awesome, too, which balances out the uber-healthy entrees.
Lydona's Wedding Flowers
Lydona's Wedding Flowers provided the flowers for my wedding in 2002. I wanted red roses, and the flowers that we got far exceeded my expectations. We got so many compliments on them!! They even provided lovely fresh red roses to top our wedding cake. Their service was excellent and their arrangements were gorgeous. When people look at our wedding photos, they always remark on how beautiful our flowers were.
Jewelry Exchange
The prices here are fantastic, especially for loose diamonds. I always compare prices before I buy jewelry, and the Jewelry Exchange has always had the best price for the quality. I recommend this store to all of my friends who are thinking about getting engaged. You might have to wait a while to get help, but it is worth the time.
Culinary Wrap
A fun little cafe where you can get a delicious, healthy, and unique meal. They have tons of different wraps that you can get. The wraps are huge and you can easily get two meals out of one wrap. All of their ingredients are really fresh -- no wilted lettuce or veggies that have seen better days. Their salads are also excellent.
Lisy B
This is a cute little boutique that has a nice selection of unique outfits and accessories. The clothes are trendy, but not so trendy that you won't be able to wear them in a month. I like that the style is classic but still cute and contemporary. Parking can be a pain, especially on the weekends.
Las Fajitas
The food here is AWESOME!! They make the best rice that I have ever had at a restaurant. The employees are super friendly and make your food quickly and accurately. Everything tastes authentic and they are very generous with their portions. You can get a fantastic, satisfying meal for about $8.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe
This is a great little cafe to grab a quick yet healthy lunch. The sandwiches here are especially delicious -- they taste fresh and homemade. They also make wonderful smoothies and salads. Prices are reasonable. Cons are the long line at lunchtime and the TV is always on to infomercials, so get your food to go!
Angelici Lisa M Dds - Lisa M Angelici Inc
I got my braces done through Dr. Angelici's office about seven years ago and my teeth still look great! All of the employees were always really nice to me and tried to make the whole procedure as comfortable as they possibly could. I couldn't hate going there because everyone was just so nice. I loved how I could pick the colors on the bands too coordinate with holidays and stuff. Braces were no fun, but Dr. Angelici's office made the experience bearable. =)
Aveda Belle Isle Salon
I have been thrilled with all of my haircuts at this salon. The stylists really listen to what you want, and they also make suggestions on how to improve on your original idea. For example, I wanted bangs, but wasn't sure what kind or how long. The stylist asked me about my hair maintenance habits, and based on my hair type and how little time I spend on my hair, she figured out what would work best for me. The results were great! She also recommended a couple of products that I wouldn't even have thought of trying, like "hair whip," but I have been really happy with how well they have worked for me. It is pricey but for great hair, it's totally worth it.
South Coast Midwifrey & Womens
The midwives and doctors at South Coast Midwifery are wonderful! The environment is soothing and peaceful and it is obvious right from the start that all of the staff members love what they do. They are highly trained and know what you need before you even say anything. They are experienced in many different natural birthing techniques and work with you to find which one(s) work best for you.
