August ✨💛
One thing that’s never been hard for me to do is to go on a solo road trip. Since I was 18, graduated from High School… I just drove back and forth to CA from LV constantly. And for me not much needs to change regarding that. Finding all these spots near for a simple change of scenery. I love throwing as much or as little in my car, and heading out.
Your mindset and over all mood/health can change with just a small break. Something new to look at. Which we love.
No expectations, no one to answer too. Just sunshine and mellow times.
Cheers to me time/moments ☀️

P.S. little known fact when I’m in the car alone, I still yell out Cow! or Horsie! 🙂 taken in Los Alamos, California by @laurenlopoole

When anyone who doesn’t live here asks how we spend our days… I think this explains it. taken in Hollywood by @laurenlopoole

One of the greatest parts about LA is that I have lived in West Hollywood for over 15 years.
When I moved to LA I was only 25. My best friend and I didn’t know areas, and one year later we both said “let’s live there”.
We were single and female and it just felt right. Walk to restaurants and bars, workouts near by, amazing architecture.

When I moved in alone I was about to be 31. I toured the town. I would eat lunch in other areas and asked myself “could I live here”… and go home to WeHo and say “no I want to stay here”.
Why?

Say what you want given your ideas… it’s safe, it’s clean, it’s run by Jews and Gays (aka going to handle and protect shit)… and I fucking love it.

To be a single woman for most if not all of my adult life… and be able to walk down the street feeling safe, know my neighbors, eat alone, grab a drink at a local bar, walk at night, and again feel safe… has been the best feeling in the world.

To celebrate Pride is to celebrate a community yes of LGBTQ+… but what you don’t see is the day by day people of it looking out and being kind to each other. (Again surrounded by Queer Community and Jews 🙂).

If you’re going to get mad about love and glitter and bubbles and rainbows and love… well that only makes me want to hug you and tell you… I’m so sorry you don’t want to know what this is. And it’s called Love.

Oh yeah and Drew needs nappy time. taken in West Hollywood, California by @laurenlopoole

One of the main reasons I wanted to live in California is the vastness of the land. Birthdays for me have never been about big blow outs. I like to be with one person, see things, eat tons and explore.
40 was Joshua Tree. 41 was Ojai. 42 needed a longer road trip. Inspired by driving up the 101 in April, I knew there were a couple of places I had to stop and see up close.
Lunch on the sand in Santa Barbara, vintage motels converted into one stop shop road side getaways with poolside fun in Los Alamos, Elephant Seals napping on the beach, flowers and whimsical shops in Carmel, old Boarding houses turned Inn’s in Monterey Bay, driving the 1 stopping to look at the Bixby Bridge (and stopping before I had a heart attack realizing how high up I was 🤦‍♀️), rivers in Big Sur, a Castle built on a hill… and all the animals in between. Oh and food. And drinks. You get it.
I love living in California.
I love aging.
I love being able to drive to all of this in a matter of a couple of days.
And I love all the birthday love that comes along the way.
🤍
P.S. I know where Mussels live now 😂 taken in California by @laurenlopoole

Every time I’ve worked out or gone for a long walk in the months of January and February of this year, I’ve taken a photo. It’s wonderful to see how much I show up for myself. Days I don’t want to, Rainy Days, Days that are too hot to be called Winter. With everything going on and so much uncertainty, I love this for myself. The foundation, the routine, the good feelings I want… whatever happens, I have that 🤍 taken in Los Angeles, California by @laurenlopoole

Oh the sweetness of slowing down 🤍

I’ve promised myself I would for years. But I didn’t. There’s too much to do, money to make, places to be.
All that did was leave me exhausted, unfulfilled, wondering when it will ever end… the rat race. Filled with anxiety, longing for peace, and a moment to breathe.

Life at this moment has given me a moment to turn down the pace, and boy has it been scary. (Going against my programming). Yet it’s been extremely fulfilling.

I live for my long walks, my routines, a simple workout class, finding the watch my Grandma got me as a kid, flowers from my love, a random drink with a friend, dancing with my coworkers, and all the same simple moments. All right here. Everything I have in front of me.

I know life ebbs and flows with “busy”. So for right now I’m down to lay down, chill out, and enjoy all the simplest life pleasures.

I’ve earned it 🤍 taken in Los Angeles, California by @laurenlopoole

“We are all made of star stuff” -Carl Sagan

The full moon tonight is the last for the Year of the Snake.

It’s a moment to pause and shed the old. The old thoughts, patterns, narratives, limited thinking.

Know that you’re moving towards strength, growth, change.

Let go of what no longer belongs to you to move into the Magic that you already are.

You are made of star stuff after all. ✨ taken in Hollywood by @laurenlopoole

I’ll take this 2016 challenge!!!!

I love this dancing, acting, posing, filming, out on the town, dying her hair dark (because everyone said she would never be pretty without her blonde hair 🤔), hanging out, being silly, getting up early for class, cutting her hair (because I would never be pretty without long hair… casting directors are assholes… I said it), doing people’s make up for scenes, silly 32 year old!

I truly started to not only like myself, but love me and my life… and saying fuck off more (hence the hair hahah… this really got to me can you tell)… and its only gone up from there!

P.s. sadly I too liked my hair better as a blonde but only because it was less maintenance for me 😉
P.p.s. I have a Prince tattoo 💜☔️ (it’s white not purple 😂) taken in Hollywood by @laurenlopoole
