Last Week in Pix/Don't Try This At Home +2x2

Hi!

Last week in pictures...here we go:

I voted by mail!!

This was my first time to vote as a Californian, so that's exciting. I also voted Yes on the proposition for porn stars to wear condoms. Yes, that's a real thing. God bless Los Angeles.

Friday night I got all touristy because my friend Eric was in town from Quebec. So we went to Hollywood and saw the sights.

More sights...

Brandi and Eric....

Shrek's star (he's probably the most famous star. Just sayin.)

Then, on the way home at almost 4 a.m. while there was no one on the road, I got a little adventurous. Kids: do NOT try this stunt! I was really really really really dumb for doing it. But. I did. And I was really really really really dumb for photographing it. But. I did. I went over 100 mph on the highway. Go, Mini, Go!

Stunts performed by a really really really stupid chick and should not be attempted by anyone, ever.

2x2

Last week I learned...

1. My hair is getting too long/big for bantu knot-outs and I need to come up with a different style

2. It's time for a friend cleanse. A few people are adding more drama than goodness to my life and 'ain't nobody got time for that.'

This week I'm looking forward to...

1.Halloween and the first costume made just for me! Lisa is helping me make my Ganja Fairy costume and I'm so excited!

2. Trying to go gluten free. I know I feel better when I eat that way, but I haven't had the will power to stick with it. But I'm tired of feeling sick when I eat. I went in to budgeting kicking and screaming but now I see it paying off, literally. So I can only hope that this will have a similar outcome.

I hope you had a great weekend, because here comes another week. ::Sigh::

Last Week in Pix/ 2x2

Happy Sunday! This week was relatively quiet until Thursday rolled around. On Thursday my world sort of exploded. I entered a Twitter contest with DigitalLA for tickets to the advanced screening of the final Twilight movie. Immediately after entering, I got a text from Mike inviting me to a party thrown by the project he had been working on all week. I accepted, thinking there was no way I would win the Twitter contest. Joke's on me. I won the contest and needed to be downtown for the movie at 5:30pm. The party was at 9pm. I rolled out of bed that morning, so I looked like luke warm crud. Trust me, it was bad. My plan had been to go home, nap, shower then head out to Hollywood for the party. But with this movie there wouldn't be time for that. I started my trek downtown from the valley at 4:20. An hour and ten minutes would be enough time, right? WRONG. Meet LA traffic. I did not make it by 5:30. I was thoroughly upset, called Chris (who had also won e...

How To Survive Valentine's Day

Apparently no one has decided to cancel Valentine's Day this year. If it were up to me I would curl up in bed and avoid all social media. But, considering I have an office job as a social media community manager that's a tad difficult. In an effort to not be bitter and sad about having no date/flowers/chocolate/diamonds on this 'special' day, why not show a bunch of love to yourself? (I'm writing to myself as much as I'm writing to you, loves). Break A Sweat A good work out never hurt anyone, and it's always great to show some love to your muscles. Last night I started my own self love (oh, grow up!) with a sweet late night yoga class taught by Emily at Yoga Shelter in Studio City. Her pace is fast, the music was bumpin and the temperature in the room was upwards of 80. Woo! Dress Up Why not put on an outfit that makes you feel confident and festive? I decided on my pink romper with black hearts from H&M (purchased last year) with ...

I'm tired of trying to explain

I went on a trip home to Oklahoma last week. I brought Jersey Mike for his first real visit to the state and his first time meeting my friends. It was fantastic and fun. I'd love to tell you all about it. But I can't right now. I can't focus on anything right now. Upon returning to Los Angeles, I logged onto Twitter and started seeing headlines about the Charleston shooting. I immediately turned it off. At first I felt wrong about doing it. At first I felt like I should face it head-on, get angry, put on my activist hat and get to work. But I didn't. I couldn't do it. I'd just gotten home from being surrounded by love. Yes, being back in Oklahoma I heard conversations filled with intolerance. I needed to point out and shut down a few comments that were insensitive and just plain rude. That's something I've gotten used to when visiting home. I'm surrounded by liberals and hippies here in Los Angeles. We are a melting pot of colors,...
