These two restaurants that I always forget how to properly pronounce, Gjusta and Gjelina, have elevated the restaurant game in the Venice, California, area. The only interior picture I took during my first time having brunch at Gjelina was of my lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes because that was all that truly mattered. The inside of … More Gjusta and Gjelina
I had previously visited the online shop for Lauren Conrad’s The Little Market, and would briefly scroll through the items for sale, doing some online window shopping. It was not until I visited the brick and mortar location shortly after it opened in the Palisades Village that I finally purchased some items, learned more about … More The Little Market
Ysabel is a trendy restaurant and bar in West Hollywood, tucked away on Fairfax Ave. I specify that it is tucked away because the actual entrance is off the street and to the side of the building, and I almost completely drove past it. This was the first time I actually experienced not feeling cool … More Ysabel
State Street in downtown Santa Barbara is an unexpected shopping hub.

To be honest, Stearns Wharf was kind of a let down. We walked along the wharf in search of dinner options our first night in Santa Barbara, and we were not too impressed. If you are looking for a good place to get food, then I would suggest walking along the Santa Barbara Harbor and … More Santa Barbara Harbor and Stearns Wharf
I do not know if Anthropologie actually changed up the style of their bags recently, or if I just started taking notice all of a sudden, but I have become obsessed with their line of purses, totes, clutches, etc. I was gifted two tops for Christmas from Anthropologie that did not fit, and I returned … More Anthropologie Bags

So with this life motto I have fully embraced the fact that I was born with curly hair that I cannot handle. My mom … More Japanese Hair Treatment
Yes I know, another Spider-Man movie?! I have seen the original Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire quite a few times, as my brother went though a big Spider-Man phase at that time. So, by the time The Amazing Spider-Man movies came out with Andrew Garfield, and then most recently Spider-Man: Homecoming with Tom Holland, … More Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
