The great thing about big cities is there is always something to do. Sometimes this can be a bit overwhelming for those trying to plan what to do while in Los Angeles. When planning a weekend or day adventure in California, remember to be realistic. This is a beautiful city with a ton to offer. However, keep in mind estimated travel times. The LA traffic might put a few plans on hold, so be sure to prioritize the best spots first.

Here are the best spots in LA to prioritize:


1. In-N-Out

You're not officially a Californian until you've tried In-N-Out. Want to branch out? Try an item on the secret menu, which includes In-N-Out animal fries, which are smothered in cheese.

2. The Hollywood Walk of Fame

Enjoy all the Hollywood Walk of Fame has to offer. This is a great tourist attraction for many reasons. Be sure to snap a picture with Batman, see the stars, visit the wax museum, tour Ripley's Believe It or Not, and pick up a few souvenirs.

3. Melrose Avenue

From Valentino to Nasty Gal, Melrose Avenue provides an impressive array of unique shops. Aside from shopping, Melrose is known to have amazing street art. Be sure to take a picture in front of the infamous Paul Smith pink wall.

4. Rodeo Drive

Prepare to drop a fat wad of cash on Rodeo. Charlotte Olympia, Cartier and Chanel are just a few of the places to go. If you're on a budget, this might not be the best place for you.

5. Runyon Canyon

Oversee all of Los Angeles from the top Runyon Canyon. Be Warned: Finding a place to park is harder than the hike in itself. Hiking Runyon Canyon during anytime of the day is great. Be on the look out for dog poop!

6. Griffith Observatory

Free to all, the Griffith Observatory provides city views of all Los Angeles. Go inside to check out telescopes or explore exhibits.

7. Santa Monica Pier/ Third Street Promenade

Spend the entire day shopping on Third Street Promenade. After picking up some goodies, take a stroll down to the pier to enjoy entertainment, food, and rides.

8. The Grove Shopping Center

The Grove Shopping Center is a large outdoor mall filled with restaurants, live entertainment, train rides and a food market. This is a great place to be during winter months.

9. Urth Cafe

This is one of the Kardashian's favorite go-to restaurants on Melrose. Locals tend to love this place as well. It's most likely going to be 10-15 minute wait.

10. The Broad Museum

Be sure to check out this contemporary art museum, located in Downtown Los Angeles.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
