day in my shoes
hi guys :) today’s post takes you through a day in my shoes, which is a new type of post you’ll see here every once in a while. this day is a little different from my normal routine because i’m in LA.
8AM
while i would love to be that person who sits at a picture perfect brunch, i am just.. not that girl (at least not often, anyway). i don’t even really like breakfast foods to be honest. however, i still like to get an early start to the day - waking up early is definitely an acquired skill. whenever i am traveling, i make it a point to go for a little walk/ run/ jog around wherever i’m staying. for example, one of my favorite things to do in vegas, is run up one side of the strip and down the other - seriously, you should try it. where we were staying in LA was surprisingly quiet and neighborhood-like so it was the perfect place for a morning jog.
11AM
next up was a quick trip to the museum of death - yes, it’s a thing haha. i’ve been to this museum once before, but i went with a friend so i wanted to go back and really read everything and wander on my own. it is not as spooky as it sounds, and genuinely is informative. the man working the front desk somehow recognized me since i had been in before which.. 🙈 i think the other people in the lobby looked at me like i had 6 and a half heads. and now i’m wondering if there are people who regularly go to the museum haha
2PM
walked out of the museum and realized that the weather was absolutely amazing out so i had to take a little detour.. i’m appreciating california’s weather a little extra after so much time on the east coast the past few months. so i stopped at a park to read for a little. and this book was SO good. seriously - read it, then email me.
6:30PM
i finished the day heading to dinner with a few friends. i am the pickiest eater ever and i don’t usually like to go out on a limb and try somewhere new, although i am getting better at it. some of my favorite restaurants in LA are Crossroads on Melrose, Tocaya in Venice, Superba in Venice, and Katsuya on Hollywood.

i couldn’t not mention the fires currently going on in LA county (and Ventura County and Butte County, too) - they are absolutely devastating and so many people have lost their homes, been displaced, and affected. you can donate + make a difference here:
