Sometimes we just need a little reminder to stop and enjoy the simple wonders of life. Remember to stop to enjoy the sunset. Remember to take in the moment. Remember to give yourself time. Remember to take time to reflect. And most importantly, remember to watch the sunrise.

Who or what is your biggest inspiration? Wow! This is a difficult question. One of my biggest inspirations I have to say would be Lucille Ball. She was a pioneer women for her time. The first female comedian on television. A great actress, entrepreneur, and mother. I just love her spirit and her sense of humor.
What is your funniest childhood memory? My funniest childhood memory would have to be waking up with gum in my hair and having the bright idea to cut it out… Lol
As a teenager you were… shy!
How do you start your day? I am completely guilty of checking all of my social media every morning before even getting out of bed.
What is your biggest wish? My biggest wish is one of my favorite quotes, “to make a life I don’t need a vacation from”.
Name three things you would pack if you had to go to a lonely island. I probably would not make a good contest on survivor. I have no idea what to pack. 1) Sunscreen 2) Bug spray 3) A floatie for the water. 😜
What is your favorite quote? Shoot, I accidentally already answered this!
With what fictional character or celebrity would you like to go on a date with? Channing Tatum of course! And on our dream date, Pony by Ginuwine would be playing in the background. ❤️
On a Saturday evening I like to… go out for a nice dinner.
Summer or Winter? Summer, definitely. 😉
Describe yourself with one word. Strong
How to get things done in 10 ways
Los Angeles is where I call home (for the majority of the time that is). So it’s funny for me to think that I’ve never really explored the downtown area. Now that I have a friend that lives in the area, I’ve been spending a significant amount of time falling in love with the city. Here’s a list of four weird and/or unique things to see in downtown Los Angeles. The best part, it’s all within a two block radius so you don’t have to worry about parking. 😉 Enjoy!

Imagine yourself entering a French dip restaurant. Walking past the host to the back wall only to find an unmarked door which leads to one of downtown LAs oldest speakeasys. If this sounds like fun to you then make your way to The Varnish, located in the back of Cole’s restaurant. It is a small dark intimate space which offers amazing cocktails and an exclusive vibe. They don’t allow overcrowding so you have to wait outside of the speakeasy for a table. Grab a seat at the bar at Cole’s while you wait. Where else can you grab a French dip sandwich one minute and then sip a Moscow mule in a speakeasy without ever stepping outside?
Have you ever heard of an ice-creamery where you can pedal for a free scoop? Well I hadn’t heard of it until I stumbled upon Peddler’s Creamery. Now the thought of having to exercise for 20 minutes before I can get some ice cream isn’t the most appealing thing to me, but some people go for that kind of stuff! So check this place out, even if it’s just to be a lookey loo to watch others bike for their scoop.
Angel Wings on Main by Colette Miller
Located right next to Peddler’s Creamery is the Regent Theater. What makes this place unique are the art installation pieces by Colette Miller. A pair of angel wings located on the sliding gates. Make sure to get there before the place opens, or else you’ll miss your chance for a photo-op.
The Last Bookstore. Not sure if that was a reflection on my forehead or an orb. ;p
Now, The Last Bookstore may not really be the last bookstore but it is considered one of California’s largest. The store carries new and used books as well as records and art installations. You’ll find surprises around every corner… literally!
