I recently moved away from my beautiful apartment in LA to embark on an interesting (and hopefully temporary!) adventure in the desert. Everyone seems to ask me why I would do such a crazy thing, and my answer is always the same: love. Cliche, I know. It almost makes me gag a little, since I …
I look in his eyes and I see truth, purity, compassion, understanding, an unbreakable bond. I let go, I let him in, and I love. I look in his eyes and I see emptiness, loss of what used to be, bitterness, desire for another. I let myself go. I am lost. My spirit is broken. …
I believe the only place to begin is where I left off. I met Silverlake for sushi for what seems like eons ago. We had a decent conversation, somewhat less stilted than the dinner before, but I had already gotten it into my head that I was over this guy for good. I was of course pleasant …
Hello LFDP readers! We wanted to share some expert beauty advice from one of our good friends who owns a tanning business. We all know the perils and pitfalls of tanning so here are some of her professional and helpful tips. The “Getting To Know You” Tan Hi! I’m Sophie from Black + Bronze, a …
My favorite part of going out in LA is the people watching. There is nothing I enjoy more on a Friday night than judging inappropriately dressed girls, socially inept bar-goers, and douchey frat guys while I sip my vodka water. Bars and booze tend to bring out the bitchiest side of me, and I have …
The second part of my Central American adventure landed S and I in Panama. After paying an unpleasantly surprising $35 fee to leave Costa Rica, we boarded a plane from San Jose to Panama City. Upon arrival, we were informed we could not take public transportation to our hostel. We needed tickets to take the …
I’m over 2/3 of my current dating rotation (see Hey, Sweet Lips). I went to a movie with the Westside guy before leaving for my holiday, and decided I would never see him again. He bored me to death, and the whole time I was thinking that he seemed comparatively unintelligent. He walked me to …
I just returned from an epic adventure to Central America, with my first stop being Costa Rica. We stayed approximately one week here, and tried to fill every moment with something exciting. I went with a good friend/coworker and one of her friends. We all took separate flights, and if you travel even semi-regularly, you …
I love Runyon Canyon. I know it gets a bad reputation for its untamed crowds and wildly dispersed pooch poops, but there is nothing like absorbing some delicious Vitamin D while staring at a beautiful view (and I’m not just referring to the gorgeous LA skylines and green mountains). It seems like this place is …
I finally mustered the guts to tell a guy I could no longer see him. My “ignoring you until you get the point” strategy worked for some time, but a new situation arose that I felt necessitated a bit more tact. The guy who took me to Fogo De Chao the other week (see “Fools In … Continue reading »
The search for the perfect eyeliner began around ten years ago when I first started flirting with the idea of rocking makeup. In South America where I grew up, no one really wore any type of cosmetics until their wedding day perhaps. The norm was to go au-natural, and young girls who did anything to … Continue reading »
I had a terrible date the other night. It was so bad that for half of it, my internal monologue was somewhere along the lines of “wow, I wish I was with that asshole firefighter that never called me after he went on vacay; at least he didn’t talk this much”. This guy seemed fine … Continue reading »
Women think too much in terms of their significant others. Even the most strong, independent women who are self-sufficient, constantly consider their other half. How, do you ask? Well like this: Oh, I’m going to an event, but I wonder if I’ll talk to my [insert any title of your liking] after. Or, I have … Continue reading »

As such, Crave attracts a young, pleasant, foodie crowd i.e. epicurean enthusiasts such as ourselves. This week, our dinner began on a comfy couch discussing official Live Free, Die Pretty business. Naturally our … Continue reading »
So I finally got to cross “Going to Hawaii” off my Bucket List. My boyfriend and I had been talking about traveling to Hawaii for a few years now, but never actually making any concrete plans. Until one day, I was having a particularly shitty day at work, and an even more stressful week. On … Continue reading »
Straight A druggie. Shopping is now a priority. It was not a priority in my life, and I just changed my mind. Anorexia is not my lifestyle. What are you talking about? You look like this model. I’m going take that as a compliment because she looks like a pre-pubescent boy. I saw you glaring … Continue reading »
