Mike's 30th Birthday

Several bottles of champagne, funny shirts, and bar hopping in Santa Monica on a beautiful, warm day - a wonderful way to welcome Mike to his 30's!

Santa Monica Pier Concert

Even with the chaos of thousands of people at, near, or around the pier - I can still walk up to the waves and feel so much peace. My mind slows to the pace of the waves as the last bit of pink disappears from the sky, I breathe in the salt air and feel that I am home.

Beachy Cream

July 22, 2013 by Heather B.

Lately, I've been very happy and excited about life. My current friendships are deepening: I've giggled over nonsense in dimly lit bars with my girlfriends, had a permanent pink nose and cheeks from carefree time out in the sun, unburdened my heart by sharing my stories of rejection and personal victories, and felt more connected to my best friends that I ever have. My dear friend Franci has been quite a big part of my happiness - we've had so many spontaneous adventures over the past few weeks; it's made Los Angeles finally feel like a real home. We joked today that we are in a "hoe-mance," which I realize sounds completely and utterly lame but we couldn't stop laughing about it. These are a few snapshots from a trip to Beachy Cream - my new favorite stop for ice cream. Every flavor is utterly delicious and the shop is ultra cute (I bought her a double scoop to bribe her into apartment hunting with me!). My tip: the brown butter pecan is a must-try.

Life will never be full of more possibilities than it is now, and I'm thrilled about it. For someone that likes to be organized and plan everything out - I'm finally letting go and have no anxiety about not knowing where life is going to take me. It's quite freeing!

Swedish Invasion

August 20, 2012 by Heather B.

This past weekend was an amazing time for me. My good friends Farrah (bff status) and our Swedish friend Pontus came up ans stayed with me (I can't believe we've known each other for 3 years already!) - bringing with him 3 additional Swedes (Viktor, Henrik, and Lotta - all wonderful, fun people). We laughed until our stomachs hurt, stayed up until the wee hours of the night, explored Los Angeles, and got our party on. I already feel like they are such close friends to me, and I can't wait until we all get together again.
