Alex: Parking enforcement does not mess around out here. In Wisconsin you could get away with a lot more! Today I went to Runyon to hike. It has such a different vibe than Temescal. Can’t complain though, I’m happy hiking anywhere. Whenever I’m this cheesy, I actually crave cheese. Is that weird? Anyway, I loved how many dogs were at Runyon. I felt like I was walking up a mountain, surrounded by puppies and a ...
Food Tripping App
Nik: Check out this App. I love it. No need to stuff my face with
Spin Cycle aka In The Hoop
Alex: It's really therapeutic to write down what happened, what you’re thinking or what you're feeling when something is bothering you. Then reread it. Then reread it out loud. Then listen to what you’re saying. You can learn a lot about yourself and your thinking habits when you do this. I have a tendency to over think. Mainly the little things. So now when something or someone is bothering me, I do this exercise before ...
Growing Up Sucks
Alex: It’s official. I’m almost a grandma. My hair is falling out, I get tired by 10pm and when I get home, the first thing I do, is take my clothes off and change into sweats. The worst part is when I have a couple of drinks I’m hungover for like two days! WHAT IS GOING ON!? Not to mention the bills on bills on bills. They never stop. Cell phone, car insurance, gas, electricity, ...
Powder Puff
Text from Nik to Alex: I don’t want to wash my hair.
Alex: Baby powder.
Nik: I have dry shampoo, but it kind of makes my scalp itchy.
Alex: Baby powder is better.
Nik: Even on dark hair?
Alex: Yes. You don’t need a lot. Lightly sprinkle it on your roots and watch the magic happen.
Nik: Magic?
Alex: Oily roots, now you see them now you don’t.
Nik: What’s the difference between baby powder and dry shampoo?
Alex: I’m not sure, but it just works better. My hair looks and feels cleaner when I use the powder.
Nik: Fine, I’ll try it. And since we’re talking powder, if I ever hear that you’re using drugs, this project
Running errands in LA… Blows!
Alex: One thing I really miss about Wisconsin is how easy it was to run errands. I could get a lot accomplished in one day. Or should I say one hour! Out here in LA running errands takes an entire day. Hey that rhymed, sorta. Anyway, yesterday I had a few things I needed from CVS, a check to deposit and my tank was on E. You know how long that took me? 3 hours! ...
Meet Any Celebrities?
Alex: It’s funny, this weekend a friend from back home asked if I’ve seen or met any celebrities yet. This was the fourth time I have been asked that same question. Well, I have actually. Annnnd we ended up making out a few times. He’s an actor and my little brother used to be obsessed with his show. I met him at a nightclub in Hollywood. I don’t exactly remember how we started talking, but ...
I’m obsessed with… Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap
Nik: You know how good your skin is after swimming in the ocean? This soap has all the benefits of a Pacific dip without the sand between your toes.
Alex: Speaking of ocean, let’s go to the beach soon!
Nik: It’s too cold.
Alex: Are you kidding me? It’s 70 degrees out!
Nik: It’s 69. And when you’ve been in LA as long as I have, 69 is not beach weather.
Alex: I’m always down to get wet when it’s 69.
Nik: Ew. No.
