FUN STUFF:
HAPKIDO
Where I learn my numchuck (lol.) skills. Plus, the head instructor is my boyfriend, so I have to admit, I am slightly biased ;-P
David Noles
One rad bad-ass photographer. He spent a whole day with me and basically gave me a tour of the coolest backdrops in LA. Plus, we almost got kicked out of the Getty Museum for our undercover bad-assness.
Melli Belli Cupcakes
The lavender cupcakes are my FAVORITE TREATS - EVER!!! I swear that they are filled with magic!
