I caught myself in the act of a “bougie ass girl from LA” thought today… well “a” thought was more like “a few”, but the one that got me examining my sanity a little deeper was this thought that had me contemplating buying an $8 bottle of “juice”. No no, not an apple juice,...

Bucket List Item #78… Check. An “Only In LA” Day
Welp. I can now officially check “attending a lesbian wedding, held at an Indian restaurant, filled with Filipino and Estonian family members” off my bucket list as of today… I’m not sure I would have put any two parts of that together before today, but that’s kind of the beauty of being in a place...

The LA Love/Hate Factor
“I love LA” with enthusiasm are words not often exclaimed (or worn), and you can imagine it’s particularly shocking when they’re said by someone who doesn’t actually live in LA.

Here Goes Nothin
So I’m a twenty something California girl trying to make her way in this big scary world living in the city of Angels… Heard this one before? I know, I have too. Ugh, I’ve seen this movie, read this story, even watching this show on Bravo. Well if you must know I’m a recently liberated ex...
