 Eric and I are at the airport. That ride here just took five years off my life. I have a little story. We actually got in the Uber and we're in a lot of traffic and at one point did a hit run actually. He literally scraped the entire side of his car in somebody else's car and then just proceeded to keep driving and then the construction people around that area were like, we took a picture of your license plate. Always drama with us. Always drama. Almost missed our flight and now we're early. Of course, we get picked by TSA. I was freaking out. We're gonna be in Hawaii soon, so it's fine. We'll see you soon. Can I get your house? Try over to your look. I love it. Get a girl, get a girl. Let me just tell you something. I'm really embarrassed talking to myself right now cause it's like I'm not even walking by but like it's fine, right? I'm gonna be really curious, right? Also, like I hate flying. So when I fly, I like to do it well and treat myself. We have refreshed our- Crap, I'm talking, please. Welcome to my unboxing. I'll show you guys what I got. She was just gonna be like, this is actually really, really nice. Wow. So, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Wow, this is comfy. I really like sitting here on my way to holiday. Clothes all day but I chose to put some clothes on to do this intro. We're doing a vlog today. I'm not in New York as you can probably maybe hold on. Oh, oh, see? I'm in the middle of the woods. Hello, L.A. I can't really see much because there's a bunch of trees. I forgot to, well, I didn't really forget to make an intro to this but I decided there needs to be an intro because you really just start off like in the airport with me going to L.A. And this whole time I'm here I'm trying to decide if I want to live in New York or L.A. or if I want to live in both places. So this is really just like a trip for me to experience the L.A. life again. I mean, I come here all the time, honestly. I used to come here like every month but COVID happened so I couldn't do that anymore but now we're back. Hopefully we can come to some kind of conclusion because it's something that I think about constantly and I don't want to think about it anymore. It's one of those things like if I don't live in L.A. at some point in my life am I gonna regret it? Probably not, but I want to make sure, you know? So follow me on my journey throughout this vlog today and I'm gonna let you know what I decide at the end. Woo, Chile! It's high up here. Eric's freaking out. Freaking out. We just came up on this hill on Runyon and it's just not Eric's thing, you know? The air is different up here. I thought I was afraid of heights but Eric brings it to a whole other level. To new heights. To new heights if you will. So we're gonna keep hiking this b**ch today. And it's gonna be great. Have I been wearing the same thing for like three days? Sort of, but that's okay. Wow, look at that b**ch. It's insane. Oh, somebody died right here. Just kidding. Look at the views. I don't like it. We did it. We did it. We did it, Joe. I'm never doing that again. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad. Eric and I are going for lunch and just testing the waters even more in LA and just really getting the vibes, you know? We're always taking the vibes. Just taking it in. We've definitely been here a lot but this time we stayed at a house which is a little more adventurous. It's a little different for us, you know? Usually we do hotels and we want to get that real like authentic LA vibes. We rented a car as well and are driving ourselves around. It's been cute, you know? It's definitely different than New York. I'm into it. Like I could do this. Went in Rome. I could do it. Went in LA. I'm so f***** hungry. Hungry. So I got the coconut matcha gin this and I'd like do a review for you and see how it tastes. It actually has gin, coconut, guava water, lime, aquafaba, club soda and absinthe. So I think there's matcha in it. So we're gonna give it a little taste. Oh, oh, we went in for more. Oh, is that a good one? You know what? It's not my favorite. It was good. It was okay. But Eric, I'll give this one to you. You can taste yours for us. The drink I got today is the Vapida de los Muertos. Oh. Drink of the day. It's black. And it's black. And Brad, get the ice details. Get the ice details, please. Polo, polo, polo lounge, polo lounge. Ready? I just wanted to review the bread for you. I wouldn't show you the bread, but it's all gone. Eric really liked it. I would give this all 9 out of 10. I would have liked a little oil on the side. But the guy forgot it. It's okay. We forgive and we forget. Move on. But Eric, you liked the butter and the bread. Delicious. Dill engines. Dill engines. But I'm also looking for statues, so I couldn't eat this piece. So I'm going to leave this piece right here. And I'm going to move that away from me. And I'm going to continue on my journey of eating this. Oh my God. What is that? This presentation. Okay. Wait, what's this? I put this on here. Soy sauce. Yum. I'm going to try a little bit of a mushroom. Cheers. Delicious. All right. Okay. In the life of my, oh my God, my super exciting life. You know, maybe some people would say it's exciting. Well, I mean it is. Some days more than others. Today is not exciting. Today, I have nothing to do besides work. Answer emails. Answer questions. You know, just stuff that I don't love doing. I don't hate it, but, you know, it could be more entertaining. Just an update on my, should I move to LA question? New York so much. I really do. I have to admit it. So I'm in the hills, right? You have to go up these winding up paved streets up these hills to get to the house that I'm staying at. And as you know, it's, it's different than New York, you know, we don't have winding streets like that. So it's been cool. You know, it's been a different experience. However, I get sick every single time I come up here. I feel like I would adjust to it and I don't have to live up here if I moved here, but I don't think I could do it. I love the houses up here. They're beautiful. It's too much though. It's too far away. The thing I miss about New York right now is the fact that I could just like walk out of my house and go do something, you know, I could just leave here. You have to like call a car or, you know, have a car. My brother has our car right now. So I don't have a car to drive around. Okay. I have a ton of work to do and catch up on, which I will be doing. You know, there's just something about the freedom that New York makes you feel makes me feel free, baby girl and alive and the energy is killer. There's no energy here. I will tell you the only energy you get is in West Hollywood. And when you're there, it's a lot of personalities. So I'll check it back with you a little later once I have some new updates for you. Tired. Since the last time we talked, I got some work. I got some work done, but not enough. I'm going to keep trying to work. I just don't know if it's going to like happen. Well, I'm working. It's just slow. For some reason, like the day feels like two days put together. I think I'm just so used to having so much to do at my house. And now that I'm like not at my house, like I have nothing to do. I do have stuff to do. I'm just not doing it. That's the one. Maybe it's just like the LA life. Everyone tells me like when you come to LA or when you live here, it's much slower pace than New York. I think it's true. I mean, August, it's true. If you come from New York to LA, like I'm still going to have that mentality that like I want to work hard and you know, and I want to like do everything really fast. You know what I mean? I really don't know. Ew. I feel like I'm going to post this. It wasn't fun. Showing the fit. Get the shoes. Get the shoes. Okay. I'll never do that. I don't know. Oh. Oh. So we're going to dinner with the girls, with my friend Hindash. Hindash. And Eric and I are just really carrying the weight of LA on our backs with these outfits. It's like heavy. It's like a heavy weight on the shoulder. It's heavy. And then this butt like. Good morning Los Angeles. Eric and I and his friend are going to Universal Studios today. I'm so excited to get my witchcraft on and do a few spells and you know, ride some rides. I love theme parks. Eric, Simpson's ride, right? Yeah, my favorite. My favorite. We're going to have a lot of fun. That's definitely a perk of being in LA. So I will give LA that one. We ended up having a really chill weekend. Not much stuff open here still. So there's not really a lot to do. I'm so excited to ride some rides today. I have some water in a wine glass because you got to stay hydrated. You guys are going to hydrate. Look where we are. Where dreams come true. Oh wait, that's the other place. I'm so excited. I'm like a little kid. What a beautiful day. Yo, let's go ride some rides. We're about to go on the pet's ride. It's our first ride of the day. Are you excited? I have written down the pros and the cons to living in LA to hopefully make my final decision right here right now on what I should do. Okay, the cons. It's not New York and it never will be. And that's okay because I don't want it to be. I want to be something different, you know. You can't walk anywhere. People think you're weird if you walk. They can tell me if that's true. But I feel like if you walk, you're like weird. And then you see like one person on the street walking. And you're like, girl, get a car. I feel like you're a freak if you walk. Like, I don't know. Is that just me? No, it can't be just me because nobody walks here. People are fake and weird. These are my observations. Okay, so don't even come for me. Not that anybody was anyways, but there's a sort of aura of like people are trying to use people. Again, could be just me. But I've heard this be told many times by friends of mine that live here. That like people are really just trying to climb the social ladder. And in my industry, it becomes even more evident when you become friends with somebody and they start asking you how far you have. And you're like, bro, it doesn't matter. The next one, again, this is for me and me only. There's no sense of fashion here. People are all wearing the same thing and it doesn't look the greatest. It doesn't look bad. They don't look bad. They look fine. It's just like generic. Which is also totally fine if that's your style. I really don't even care just for me. I like to see people wearing weird shit. And when you walk out of the streets of New York, you see people wearing weird shit all the time. And you're like, whoa, where the f*** did you get that? Because you look dope and you look very original and very cool. I feel like I don't get that inspiration here. Like the fashion feels very trying. Like they're really trying, you know? But again, totally fine. At least they're trying. At least there's something there. The last one is a sense of loneliness. Everything is far apart. People said New York is like one of the loneliest places in the world. I think it's a joke because there's so many people there. But it can feel very lonely. However, I feel way f*** more lonely here in the goddamn hills. And I've stayed in West Hollywood before, okay? I still feel lonely. And maybe that's because I don't live here. But I also just feel like there's this sense that you can't leave your house and just go walk on the street and be around people. Because you can't. But in New York, you leave your house and there's just people surrounding you everywhere. There's vibes or energy. Everything just smacks you in the face, you know? I like that. But we can move on to my pros list. Because I like pros better than cons. Sunny weather. Yesterday it was cloudy and raining all day. But today it's f***ing sunny. And most of the days are sunny. I love the heat hotter the better. Give me the f***ing rays in my face. I just love feeling it. Except for wear sunscreen. I always wear sunscreen. No tan, see? White as f***. The next one is it's a very C and B scene sort of place. Which I do like. There's some part of me that isn't extrovert sometimes. Most of me isn't introvert. However, sometimes I like to be seen. Especially when I'm wearing a cute outfit. I want people to look at me. So it is kind of fun that people like really notice you here. You're really being looked at and like taking pictures of and f***ing like that. It's fun. I like it. Next one is there's a bunch of creators here that I really admire. And it's really nice hanging out with all of them and getting to know more people every time I come here. And it's really nice to be able to like bond on that level. You know, you don't really get that in New York. The next one is fun. There's festivals here. Well, not exactly here here. But like there's festivals all around here in Las Vegas. In Palm Springs. Especially Coachella. Oh, another one. This house. Like being in a house. You don't really get that in New York. You know, you can live in like a town house, which is nice. But like this space. What the f***? I could do so much around here with this space. I could have so many people sleep here. I could have my friends visit all the time. And you can totally do that in New York, but it's just never going to be like this big. Unless you want to pay like a stupid amount of money, you know? That's always nice. And lastly, they have Universal Studios here. And I love riding rides. And oh, I love Universal. They could use a few more like updated rides, which they are doing on Super Mario World. So that'll be really fun. But I love Universal and it was really fun to go the other day. And that's my whole list. I have more pros than cons, which is great. It's a great sign. Like my computer dumb. And let me sum this up for you. I feel like I would live here part-time. I would definitely get an apartment or a house out here and keep my one in New York and be out here more often. Now that we're all getting faxed and COVID is coming to an end. Hopefully sometime soon. I can really like come out here more, spend more time, make more friends out here, learn more about the city, maybe get a house one day out here. But for now, I think my home is still in New York. I think I'm going to stay there for a bit longer. Maybe get to the 10 year mark, which is, I'm at seven years right now. So we'll see. Honestly, I could say this right now and then literally tomorrow I wake up and I'm like, I'm going to live here forever. But as of today, that is the decision. And this trip was really nice to take to learn more about the city and like feel what it's like to live in a home here. In a car. It was nice. I leave tomorrow morning and I'm a little sad, but I'm really excited to see my doggy. Although I miss size so much, but that's it for me today. Thank you for watching my blog. Hope you liked it.
