Say When
Take a hands-on creative workshop at a gorgeous AAPI women-owned studio space in West Adams. You can experiment with jewelery designing, soap making, ceramic painting, perfume blending, candle making, vision journaling, and more. Behold - a 99.9% pure silver clay spiral charm that I, a craft newbie, made from scratch! Now my most-worn necklace. Wearing your own creation hits different.
The Huntington
A rare oasis of green space in the city for your most serene hot girl walk. Touch grass, smell the roses, visit the galleries. I enjoy going alone with a journal just as much as frolicking around with friends, like on my 30th birthday last summer. Sweet date spot (but only if you really, really like them; some things are sacred). Free admission every first Sunday of the month — make sure to book in advance on the previous Thursday morning!
The Elysian Theater
Watching stand-up at this little independent theater in the Elysian Valley is a reliable antidote to my ennui. Fresh lineup of both established and up-and-coming comics across various storytelling mediums. They get weird with it!
American Cinematheque
Beloved repertory cinema series with eclectic programming and equally engaging director/cast Q&As. Lost count of how many indie, arthouse, foreign, old and restored films I’ve seen at the Los Feliz Theatre 3.
