Coverage of Southern California Trip

If you're an avid reader of my blog, you would know that I took a trip to Southern California recently, and have just returned.  It wasn't enough time! There are a lot of exploring to do in Los Angeles, and 4 days just wasn't going to cut it. Although the weather was scorching hot in the 90's+ we still made the most of it. ^^

  HELLO LOS ANGELES!
 

My rental car, a Nissan Versa >> It is a piece of crap compared to my Toyota Corolla, and my Corolla is a piece of crap compared to a lot of other cars so...this car was SHIT! Had to turn the air conditioner off in order to speed up..wow! There was NO SPACE between the door and the seat, seriously??! ...and no middle glove box either. >_< 

The pros of this car? I can fit three bodies in the trunk w/ extra space to spare ^^

First thing I did while in Hollywood? 


Swooped me some bomb chicken and waffles @ Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles!!
Even wore my "DOMO LOVES WAFFLES" tee ^^

Tokidoki store on Melrose Ave.



I know my eyes were closed ^^

Wi Spa >> Best Spa I have been to thus far. 
It isn't easy finding a spa that is open 24-hrs and offers korean style digital perms.
^^ found my beauty spot!

Upstairs is the....co-ed sauna's it can get pretty hot...and cold in some of the rooms! 
Entrance to the Salt and Clay Room. I love the little clay balls in the clay room, laying on it is actually more comfortable than it looks.
 Computer Area...yeah a sauna that caters to everyone int he family, there is a child care room too. But I couldn't go in there. ^^

Spa Entrance
 Entrance to the Women's Shower Room
 Food Area; Menu
 Jade Room
 Make Up Area, Many stations with blow dryers, tooth brushes/paste, hair brushes, Cotton Swabs, tissues, moisturizers, body soap, shampoo, and conditioner all included. ^^ what a steal!
 Relaxing area, located in the same floor as the food court, and the co-ed saunas
 Salt Room, Hot Sauna, Small but very nicely decorated.

While at this Spa I purchased a Buff and Massage service.  The lady who worked on me was quite rough, I am sure some people may like that, but I was in PAIN! She scrubbed so hard I thought I was going to rash up after.  The massage was decently relaxing, the only downturn was that I couldn't understand her. T_T

Brunching at the famous Porto's Bakery:

 Looks like we're ready to take on just about anything

 Who would have thought fried banana's were so yummy.

On the way back home....landed some fresh beef at Harris Ranch ( the own the slaughterhouse close by) >> I was really reluctant to eat there considering all the cows being killed so close by, but I can refuse a good slab of steak and a change of scenery.

My tiny piece

Bf's bigger slab



Cows died for this couch....do you really want to sit in it? Not really.
I can eat meat as long as I don't see they slaughtered....such denial, but they do taste so good! ( okay after this I am going to cut down meat eating as much as possible.)
