Hello!
Happy new month! My week was great. I got a free burrito at Chipotle, went sight seeing in Culver City, went to Terrenea Cove, had tea in a shop called Destroyer and mixed my own lip gloss in Smashbox store, Venice. My weekend was even better- I went to San Diego. San Diego has lovely weather, nice beaches and many activities for one to get involved in while they are there.
On Saturday morning, I went to Balboa park with my cousin. If you are ever in San Diego, Balboa park is a must because it has numerous things to see. It’s a cultural park with at least 6 museums (some of which are free entry), an observatory, gardens, The San Diego Zoo, gift shops, International houses of various countries, among others.
So first of all, I went to the museum of man. The building itself is beautiful. So many intricate moldings and detailing on the exterior. It even has a tower. I saw so many things, and learnt about the various ancient people and their beliefs. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the entry passes were stamped on our wrists, so you had a purple M in ink on your arm. This is majorly because I am not a fan of writing on my skin at all.
After that, I went to the observatory, the Balboa Theatre, saw an Alcazar garden, went to the gift shop to buy a magnet and strolled round the park.
In the evening I went to Mission Bay for a barbecue. Mission Bay is located beside SeaWorld San Diego. I learnt how to play volleyball, ate A LOT of food (mostly meat), threw bean bags in a hole and had a bonfire.
On Sunday I went for lunch at Duke’s La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya), a restaurant with Hawaiian influences. The restaurant is located near the beach, and so it has a breathtaking view. It also has wonderful service and good food. I had fish and chips (I know, very unadventurous). But I also tried the Hula cake, the ginger lime fizz mocktail and the flourless chocolate cake, which were all divine. Oh, and I had fried calamari (squid).
Then I went to La Jolla Cove, a small beach with numerous cliffs and coves and I saw sealions, seagulls and pelicans. I didn’t go close to the water because I didn’t want to remove my shoes, but the beach is beautiful and so is the water. You can also go swimming, kayaking and snorkeling in La Jolla. I came back to L.A later that evening.
I’m learning to try new things on this trip, so I had a lot of firsts. I heard on one of Superwoman’s vlogs that “Leave comfort for clothes”, so that is my motto for this holiday. Till next time, have an awesome day!

Haha! Reading the post almost made me cringe. So so lovely. A tea shop called Destroyer? What a wow.
