Kate Walsh loves life when the sun shines in LA, and she takes full advantage of it!

This morning, she put on her hiking shoes and took her four-legged friends out for an outdoor challenge. She tweets:

“Ok: it is sick gorgeous out today! Took dogs out to hike in griffith park. Awesome.”

A hike under the sun isn’t the only thing Kate enjoyed this weekend. Yesterday, she was spotted making her way to some Saturday pampering. The ‘Private Practice’ actress really knows how to catch moments of sunshine in between rain storms. (I heard weather has been up and down in LA!) On her way in to a mani/pedi, she was wearing all black in a long-sleeve sweater, cut-off shorts, and sandals. On her way out, it was warm enough to rock a tank top… and pedicure slippers and bright red toe nails! Cute!

From PEOPLE:

Keeping its momentum from last year, the Twilight saga was the big winner on Wednesday night.

The latest installment in the series, Eclipse, picked up four awards, including favorite movie, surpassing nominees including The Social Network and Inception.

It also won favorite drama movie and favorite on-screen team at the awards at the Nokia Theater in L.A., and star Kristen Stewart beat out Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston for favorite movie actress as Bella Swan.

But the film’s heartthrobs Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner didn’t have as much luck when it came to favorite movie actor, which was awarded to Johnny Depp for Alice in Wonderland.

Pattinson was beat out again in a separate category for favorite movie star under 25, which went to Zac Efron.

Adam Sandler, another popular actor at the show, won for favorite comedic star, while his hit flick Grown Ups was favorite comedic movie.

Eminem continues his successful year, snagging the most awards in the music category. Winning favorite male artist and favorite hip hop artist, the rapper also scored favorite song along with Rihanna for “Love the Way You Lie.” The sexy Barbadian songstress also won for favorite pop artist.

House M.D. beat out Glee in the TV category with three awards: favorite TV drama, favorite TV drama actor (Hugh Laurie) and favorite TV drama actress (Lisa Edelstein).

Favorite new TV comedy was Bleep My Dad Says and favorite new TV drama was Hawaii Five-O

Kate Walsh, star of Private Practice, has joined the long list of celebrities to launch her own fragrance. This one seems a bit strange to me (okay, they all do). While the fragrance hasn’t launched yet, the website has – and here’s what she has to say about her new scent, Boyfriend.

You ever miss the scent of your boyfriend on your skin? Well, I did. So I created BOYFRIEND, a fragrance inspired by him but made for us. It’s got all the floral notes that we ladies love and that warm, woody, amber musk that makes you purr like a jungle cat. Now you can take your Boyfriend with you wherever you go. Stay tuned…I can’t wait for you to meet my BOYFRIEND. -KW

She also posted the news on her Twitter:

Your Boyfriend is coming! I can finally talk about my new lady fragrance, woot woot! Very excited! I’m on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily…

I’m super excited about this! Other than being a tv doctor, I’ve been bustin’ my ass for my Boyfriend for the last couple of years and can’t wait for u to smell Him!

Hmm, I dunno about this one, Kate.

Not a fan of Kate’s outfit.
