Trip to LA Part 1: What I did during a week in LA

This past week I took a trip to LA. I’m going to divide this post into two parts because it is way too long to fit into just one. Here are the things I did and places I went during my first few days there!

Day 1- West Hollywood

Coffee

The first day I was there we explored West Hollywood. We started off by getting some matcha drinks at a cutie little place called Dialog Cafe. I got a strawberry oat matcha and it was super yummy! The staff there was SO nice as well.

Book Store

After this, (and a short trip to CVS to get some motion sickness medicine after a roller coaster of an Uber ride) we went to a bookshop called Book Soup. They had such a great selection, my favorite was their spirituality section. They also had a lot of cute little trinkets throughout the store.

Lunch

After that we went and got sushi for lunch. I can’t for the life of me remember what the place was called, but they had the CUTEST anime wall. The sushi was really good, too!

Dinner/ Comedy Show

After we got sushi we walked around a little bit and did a bit of shopping while we waited to go to a comedy show. The comedy show was at a Chinese restaurant that had really good tofu.

The show itself was so good. My friend actually got called on to participate in one of the bits, so that was really cool and funny. I didn’t get any pictures of the actual performance but here’s some pictures of us beforehand.

That was it for the first day! It was lots of fun and West Hollywood was very charming.

Day 2

We didn’t do much the second day I was there, we were all really tired from doing so much the day before. So, we rested, walked to the grocery store, and watched Twilight.

We were obsessed with this lemon tree we saw on our walk to the store. Isn’t it cute?

Coffee

On our way to the beach we got coffee at Tanner’s Coffee.

Beach

Once we got to the beach we stopped at this cute little fruit stand called Luna’s Fruit at the entrance of the beach to get some fruit. It was so yummy!

Once we got done eating the fruit we played in the water and had a little mini photoshoot. (Sidenote: this was my first time in California and I wasn’t expecting the waves to be so BIG. I almost got knocked over in the water so many times lol).

Lunch/ Dinner

After the beach we went and got pizza at The Good Pizza. Lemme tell ya, that was the best margherita pizza I’ve had in my LIFE.
