Venice Beach and Influencer Blogging Panel

California· My Life

FacebookTweetPin
5 May

Hello! I spent the day in Venice Beach for a conference . LA traffic is a beast but I was able to get there from Orange County pretty easy breezy and I was super excited about that. Wait. First I want to share my happy lil tomato news. I woke up to two tomatoes on my plant!!!

I squeezed in a quick run and then got ready to go. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t caught on the 405 for 3 hours and super late so I gave myself plenty of time.

The conference was at the Erwin Hotel. The weather was a little overcast and cool, but still pretty. I like it here.

The panel went really well. I shouldn’t be given a microphone I think I’m loud enough without it. I hope no one sends me their medical bills for ringing ear syndrome. (Is that really a thing? I made it up.)

After the panel I walked around Venice to get some air and enjoy the sights. It’s a very interesting place.

And since I was randomly walking around and had the time I decided to get a henna tattoo of the real tattoo I want. Isn’t that a good idea?! I am testing it out for a week to see if I like it.

Since it was a weekday and kind of random time it wasn’t super crowded, but there is never a lack of personality and characters in Venice Beach.

This is a StitchFix top, it’s super bright! Luckily it’s also lined on the inside so you couldn’t tell I was sweating (or maybe you could but it made me feel less self-conscious about it).

Now I need to get to work on my costumes for Disney!! I am stressing out about it since I don’t even have all the supplies yet! Help.

Question: Are you crafty?

I’m not. I am not sure my costumes are going to come out this time.

    Venice Beach in Florida is amazing. Gorgeous sand, sprawling beaches. Yeah, so next time you’re in Florida, you should visit. I’ve never been to California, so …

    You did not post a picture of your Henna Tattoo. I want to see it.

    I was in Venice last summer! We had a blast walking around looking at all the sights. It is a very interesting place! I got a henna tattoo once when I was thinking I might like a real one. After about three days I was ready for it to be gone. So that was a sign I shouldn’t get a real one! lol

    Ringers ear is a real thing. My father has had it for almost 20 years in his right ear. It’s not curable without very intensive surgery which has a lot of risks and no guarantee of success, it’s been extremely hard for him.

    Unfortunately this is no joke 🙁

    Last time I was at Venice beach I was 17 years old! Still looks the same though (I’m 42 now)

    I am pretty crafty. I love making stuff. What was the shirt lined with? I’m intrigued.

    I went to Venice for the first time last March….can’t say I am rushing to get back there. Interesting? YES! A little sad seeing all the homeless? YES. Crazy tour shops? Yes!

    Lots of muscle people doing yoga and amazingly strong positions on amazingly small wooden posts….YES, Yes and YES!
