Just 1.5 hours outside of Los Angeles sits the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserves – fields full of beautiful, vibrant poppy’s as far as you can see!

Driving to Antelope Valley is a beautiful sight in itself. I felt like we were in wine country! Once we got closer to the fields, I was surprised to see just how many people were there to take pictures and soak in the views. So please, wear your masks! Quarantine definitely put this spot on the map.

Hi all and Happy New Year!

It has literally been a year since I last made a blog post, and a lot has changed since then! I’ve graduated, I’m working in the “real world,” and my boyfriend lives on the other side of the country *sad face.* I’ve gone through a big life transition and it hasn’t been easy, but there is a lot left to look forward to in this new chapter.

I thought I would start off 2020 with a blog post on my New Years resolutions, so that I have them down in writing and I can hold myself accountable. Let’s start with number one, shall we?

Instead of heading to a tropical destination for spring break, I headed to the cold. Living in LA, Mammoth honestly felt like vacation and a change of pace. When I lived in Chicago, we would only go on vacation somewhere warm. Now, I want to go to cold places! I never thought this day would come. Continue reading “Spring Break in Mammoth” →

Roo Coffee + Trois Familia, Silverlake

Published on February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 by Sequin3 Comments

This week I ventured off from the West Side to explore Silverlake, a neighborhood I don’t go to very often. Driving there is a painnnnn in the booty. That’s the annoying part about living in LA. It’s hard to get off the couch and meet up with friends when they live in what seems like the other side of the world. Or at least the other side of LA.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I’ve thought of the perfect gift: A basket of goodies from your local food market. I could spend hours just looking at all the gourmet cheeses and wines and spices! I have a few favorite LA marketplace cafes, including Joan’s on Third.
