Shopping

Many of us have heard all about the shopping in Los Angeles, mainly because it's incredible. There are so many great places to shop - The Grove, Melrose, Rodeo, Santa Monica! You name a store, we have it.

Santa Monica Pier

Santa Monica Pier might just be the place to be on the weekends! Whether you're going with friends or going out on a date, you're sure to have a blast. Enjoy the many rides and the restaurants on the pier and feel free to even walk along the beach at sunset.

Get brunch

Sundays - what a day to be alive! Venture off anywhere in Los Angeles and you're sure to find a great brunch location with delicious food. Oh.. and did I mention bottomless mimosas? You're welcome.

My recommendations: Urth Cafe, Malibu Cafe and 26 Beach.

Try Alfred's Coffee

Perhaps one of the most well-known coffee spots in Los Angeles, this place is nothing short of wonderful. If you're lucky, you might even see a celebrity on your outing!

Visit First Friday's in Abbott Kinney

Around 5:00 p.m. is where you can find countless food trucks in Abbott Kinney that are sure to satisfy your taste buds! From different types of food to a variety of desserts, this is the place to be on the first Friday's of every month. Oh, and don't let the lines discourage you - it's worth the wait!

Take a stroll through the canals

When you can't make it to the real Venice, Los Angeles brings it to you! Enjoy a beautiful view down the Venice canals in Venice Beach with breathtaking scenery around sunset and quiet surroundings.

Visit television or movie locations

Have you ever wanted to visit the actual home in American Horror Story: Murder House? Well, now is your chance! Here you can find all your favorite sets and the exact locations of where some of the shows or movies you've watched have been filmed. So grab your friends and make a day of exploring the city where you will be able to visit houses seen in American Horror Story, Back To The Future, Grey's Anatomy, Clueless, Modern Family, and many more!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
