Los Angeles. Whether positively or negatively associated, there's no denying it's abundance of activities. North, East, South or West, there is always something to do, see or eat. However, some sights are just overrated or simply boring. Walk of Fame? Done that. Wax Museam? Done that too. So let's take a look into LA's less traveled to excursions.


Venice Canal Historic District

It's home to man-made canals built in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney. Part of his Venice of America, Kinney hoped to recreate the appearance and feel of Venice, Italy. Although many of the canals have been filled up due to the rise of automobiles, it is a gorgeous place to take a stroll and step into another country right in your backyard!


Museum of Neon Art

MONA is a museum that was created to spark curiosity through the preservation and interpretation of neon art. It's located in Glendale so not too far of a drive from LA. It's sure to be an enlightening experience.


El Matador State Beach

The most scenic beach in Malibu (my own opinion) which provides fun for everyone. It has gorgeous cliffs that provide beautiful backdrops, has fun waves and plenty of sand to suntan on. A picnic lunch is a must. Also, be sure to stay around for sunset, it's worth it!


Chocolate Chair

Chocolate Chair is a restaurant located in West Hollywood and it's making a scene with it's new dessert. Dubbed "Dragon's Breath", it is a multi-colored cereal like dessert coated in liquid nitrogen. When you eat it, you can blow smoke-like air out of your mouth. Hence the name.

The Broad

Slowly gaining more and more attention, this museum of contemporary art located in downtown LA is a sight you don't want to miss. Admission is free, however, you do have to wait in a line and they only give out so many tickets, so be sure to get there early. The picture above is from Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room. There are a broad amount of art for all tastes.


Descanso Garden


The perfect place for family, friends and lovers alike. This location includes a rosarium, Japanese tea house, lilac garden, bird sanctuary, xeriscape, and a gift shop. This 150 acres opens at 9 so it's perfect to visit after a nice brunch!

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.

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.
