Two beloved brands unite at the the new Rip Curl by Hansen’s store (right across the street from Swami’s surf break). Gotta love their best-selling wet suits and boardshorts.

Odd Daughter Paper Co.
Odd Daughter Paper Co.
We’re loving this new line of letterpress note cards by local Katie Hart, who named the company after her mom’s middle-school moniker, Odd Daughter. Available at Pigment in North Park.
Today’s seniors are more connected than ever, with a renewed focus on retirement as a time of discovery and enriching experiences. The ultimate reward for a retirement well-earned is the wisdom to appreciate it all, and what better place to enjoy that unique perspective than Vi at La Jolla Village, in the heart of San Diego.
All-access pass to good living.
As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Vi provides access to a connected and fulfilling community while making it easy to plan for future care, should the need ever arise. With a care plan in place, residents enjoy greater financial predictability and long-term value, freeing them to focus on making the most out of retirement.
Resort-style amenities at the epicenter of a cultural hub like San Diego offer a retirement experience unlike any other. Paired with exceptional dining, spacious accommodations and dedicated staff, the best of maintenance-free living is all around. And with the introduction of Vista 360 Well-Being, Vi’s panoramic approach to wellness, there are more ways than ever for residents to access it all.
The harmony of mind, body and community.

The key to longevity is striking the right balance in maintaining an active lifestyle with an active mind in a fulfilling community. With newly renovated community spaces and restaurants, Vista brings a variety of opportunities for residents to elevate their well-being through Vi-exclusive “Signature Experiences.”
Vista Enrich takes an evidence-based approach to brain vitality, keeping residents at the forefront of cognitive health through exergaming (exercising + gaming), nutritional plans and informative workshops. It is also home to The Brain Vitality Studio, an innovative facility dedicated to cognitive fitness that has garnered national recognition.
Vista Discover invites residents into stimulating educational experiences, from chef-led cooking demos and guided wine tastings to lectures at local universities and intimate lectures following cultural outings.
While Vista Enrich focuses on brain health and Vista Discover engages residents intellectually, Vista Explore cultivates a sense of adventure through curated travel and local excursions. But broadening one’s horizons doesn’t always require a plane ticket. One recent event brought a taste of the world right to the community: an onsite “jazz cruise” featuring live music and global cuisine served at a series of themed “ports” all within the community’s own ballroom.
“Location, location, location”

One of the biggest perks of life at Vi at La Jolla Village is its proximity to just about everything. With easy access to transportation and local attractions just steps away, residents can explore and engage with their community at their own pace.
“There are trolley and bus stops within a 5-minute walk that will get you to the beach, UCSD Campus, medical appointments, downtown La Jolla or San Diego, et cetera. We rarely use our car,” said resident Tom Yager.
With the best of San Diego just steps away, residents don’t just live in the city, they live within reach of everything that makes it special.
The best of all worlds.

At Vi at La Jolla Village, retirement isn’t a chapter to slow down; it’s an invitation to discover more. Tailored community experiences created by Vista, paired with the vibrant pulse of San Diego just outside the door, mean that residents don’t have to choose between security and adventure, connection and independence. They get all of it.
This is what an all-access pass to good living looks like: the comforts of an elevated lifestyle, a community built for growth and a city made for discovery – all in one place.

1. Mix something old with something new
In other words, work with what you’ve got. Don’t be afraid to blend traditional furniture pieces with more modern ones. A little of this, a little of that—it’s foolproof for the indecisive design maven who wants and loves it all. Use artwork and accents to bridge the generation gap. Like so many things, beauty lies in the details. In the office below (fashioned out of a broom closet!), Melissa spruced up old baskets from Ikea with vintage label plates from Van Dyke’s Restorers (vandykes.com). Yes, even organizational items can occasionally use a face-lift!
2. Build from a neutral color palette
Beiges, grays, and creams increase the options when seeking a mix ‘n’ match style. This goes for wall color and big furniture pieces like sofas, chairs, and rugs. Once the basics are set, use coffee-table books, lamps, and glassware to add pops of color. For Betsy’s condo, the girls chose a putty-colored palette. Melissa says, “Choose something other than white, and keep it neutral.”
3. Make it multifunctional and fun
Using items that serve more than one purpose is key when working with small spaces. This vintage bar cart from Society Social comes in handy during cocktail parties, but on a daily basis it works as an entry vignette (shopsocietysocial.com). “It’s on wheels, so it’s easy to move,” Betsy says. Another must: Make the most of your accents. Betsy shows off her playful side with a Jonathan Adler vase, aptly named “Kiki’s Derrière” after Kim Kardashian’s infamous backside. “It’s a little girly and a little funky. I like there to be a little bit of humor in every room.”
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia, affecting more than 10 million people in the U.S. The condition, characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, raises the risk of stroke, heart failure and death. Advances in electrophysiology, a subspecialty of cardiology focused on the heart’s electrical system, are transforming how AFib and other dysrhythmias are diagnosed and treated. Scripps electrophysiologists use state-of-the-art therapies—some of which they helped develop. They were instrumental in the pre-FDA approval research for an effective new treatment, pulsed field ablation, and are on the forefront of other innovative treatments. Click here to learn more.
