Mega walk around Hollywood this morning. It’s a shit hole for sure, but it has its charm and it’s highly walkable.

Trying to find a fun rug for my living room and here’s what I have found so far . . .

Curbside economy is poppppppin off these days. Loving these throw pillows.

Things I loved about this day: meeting up with friends at Mic’s to watch the game, sandwiches from Ggiatas, . Viva España. 💛❤️ God Bless Summer

Things I loved about my day: experimenting in the kitchen after walking to my local farmers market, finding these grocery store dahlias, junk miles on the treadmill and sleeping in.

Yesterday was so fun! Borrowed Brucey for a walk, also walked down to Orange and La Brea to pick up a friend’s car (she wanted to order me a WayMo, and I said hell no), and saw some cute things!

Things I loved about my day: cute stoops, borrowed dogs, community gardens. Got in some good junk miles on the treadmill tonight, too.

Missed hot yoga this morning, so lattes and Runyon and cute dogs this morning instead. ♥️

I’m grateful for so much this year, including my friends.

Things I loved about today: hosting our Fourth of July party with one of my best friends, an endless stream of margaritas, meeting some new neighbors, mango ceviche, a watermelon-cumcumber-queso-fresco salad with a tajin vinaigrette and so many of our girlfriends coming by to have fun with us. ♥️

Happppppy Fourth of July! Mexican food, Jell-O shots, and vaqueras!

When people ask me what my energy is like today before they try to convince me to do an activity, I’m gonna just send them this:

Okay but I took my vegan gf bagel home to throw some greens and chalulah on it after I happened upon the Missoni sample sale. 😆 Got a swanky new bathrobe and a shirt for my dad (We’re celebrating father’s day tomorrow.)

Spotted on the way home from a special pathogens response team drill today. Really appreciate all of the hard work the program coordinators put in to make today happen so everyone feels prepared and ready for potential patients. Really love the emphasis on sculptural noses these past few years.

Things I loved about yesterday ♥️👯‍♀️🫶 here in LA

One of my best friends (from Ukraine by way of Texas) was w/me, and it was so cool to share this experience with her. She’s never heard of Samoa before meeting me. (There aren’t many in Texas or Ukraine.) I’m sunburnt as heck and have bad reflux from all the food, but today was so beautiful.

There are not many places that collect and display Polynesian and Pacific Islander art. I felt such a surge of pride to see us represented on these concrete walls. I know there were others who felt the same way seeing their own culture proudly displayed on these new walls.

I absolutely love the new Geffen Galleries at the LACMA and feel like the architecture and concrete elevate the art inside in a way that feels modern and timeless. Today, after wandering through, I wondered if any of the haters actually showed up to see experience it and still felt the same way.

The party was sooo good though! And they had so many free things to do and live music and free things to eat. We’re so lucky to have such accessible art here. ♥️

Happy Juneteenth! Things I loved about this about my morning: free parking d/T holiday, lil purple Mazdas, ceramics at the Mulroney Gallery by a Korean artist, cool entryways. 💞

I made this chunky kiwi and papaya seed salsa since kiwis were on sale and I had the seeds left over. Kiwi, crushed garlic, cilantro, white onion, a little salt, fresh papaya seeds . . . Mashed up some avocado on a corn tortilla and threw some black beans in it with this salsa and it was HEAVEN.

Back in the LBC this morning and stopped at Plant Power for an unhealthy but incredibly satisfying breakfast. 😆♥️🥰 I remember when they first opened years ago and it was one of the few options I had for gluten-free vegan things! Don’t sleep on the peanut butter and jelly mylkshake!

A little vegetarian feast with my dad, and meeting my new baby brother Mr. B 🐢 after spending the afternoon on the back patio of a friend’s catching up with them. . . What a beautiful day!

Good morning to gnomes. Good morning to fancy European chocolates. Good morning to Runyon Canyon and Brucey and Lana and all our friends a long the way. This day is so good already. 🥰 🐕

Things I loved about this day: eating my lunch complete with the juice pulp shawarma I made for myself, working with really fun, kind colleagues, having my coffee bar set up in the new place and using it this morning. It really is the little things.

Things I loved about my day: 🐕 and 👯‍♀️ time at Runyon, dumpster diving with friends for weird things (we didn’t take this home), my friend leaving me this cute spare key to her place before her trip, and this cute af Vespa! Tomorrow, my friend is coming over early for coffee and hugs before her trip

Charlotte was my Charley’s bff, and it’s so nice to be able to borrow and get some dog time in. It’s always a little funny when she comes and sits on me for butt scratches. Even funnier when her mom (a close friend of mine) walks us to the car and Charlotte tries to jump in the car with us. ♥️😆

Things I loved about my day: spending time with Charley’s bestie, spending time with the sisterhood and walking Pride after a very long day at work. Excited to go running tomorrow.
