"You won't find him here...he's such a party poooper"

 It's leo season, can you tell by the scorching weather? & the pretty flowers in their prime?

I'm currently plastered all over my bed, like a scrambled egg. Fan on, felines wondering when their next meal or treat will be. 

I hope you find yourself somewhere cool on this sinful Friday, with fresh lemonade & some expensive AC. All wishes aside, how are you ? What have you been up to? What have you been teaching yourself? 

About a little more than a week ago...going on two weeks i decided to delete my main instagram account. Why? In all honesty i think i just needed to break off from it. It was very time consuming for me, & i hate to admit but i get easily influenced to spend my earnings when i have it. The need to want to be out at a cool bar, or an overpriced dinner just becomes the main goals for the weekend. My self esteem was the lowest it's ever been. I felt disgusting just by the sight of my bloated face in the mirror. This double chin is going nowhere i thought. I cried & had a really long meltdown. I wanted to run off into the woods and become roomies with the witch in  Hansel & Gretel. Sweets for life? Sure.


I had to pick myself up and be kind, slow it down on the booze. Walk to work and from work.  I made feline friends along the way. The first day just as Days of the phoenix was blasting through my headphones. There he was a chubby ginger tabby cat. He was so beautiful and we stared at each other for quite sometime. I didn't get his name but he looked like Garfield. That was a nice way to start the morning. There's a few that I've come across. Stopping to pet a cat is almost like a meditation moment.

Kitty talk aside, i am in better spirits, & needless to say I'm going to be alright. 

I will share my last adventure, i went on, my last day off which was last friday. My co-Workers had been wanting to hit up little tokyo and Daiso & i could NOT pass up this opportunity. That just means getting to spend time with them outside of work and stocking up on more cute stationery items. 



Who doesn't love Aggretsuko on snack packaging? 
They weren't that yummy though. 
Funky taste calls for 4/10 







Would it really be little tokyo without getting a drink with a cute name? 
This one was called honey bear and it tasted like a thai tea with a bit of honey and caramel. 


Kawaii forever?!? 
Reggie is the gal wearing glasses & itzel is the tall one.
They are both Aries ghouls! 
Not pictured were my other coworkers who were sadly stuck at work. 
       But tada!!! We did the mandatory photo thing. They came out real cute, it was fun. I wish we could've stayed longer. But we all work 6 days a week and long hour shifts.  


Do i leave you with a final thought? 

It's nice to be almost off the grid, &  to be more in the moment. There's no selfie time for now. It feels nice & sometimes its that little boost of self confidence that we need but that fades away quickly. There's not a filter strong enough to fix the reality that is your mental health declining. 
I'm just speaking on how i see it & how i felt. 
Not trying to offend anyone. Sooo Shhhhhh.


Till next time 
Stay safe ! Go hangout with some cats, & if you're allergic ....wouldn't wanna be ya! 

P.s. current music Peach kelli pop, men i trust, & the pats pats !

Reader beware you're in for a scare....

 As I stated last night, I'm still riding that happy chemical wave. It's nice to have events that are happening back to back & then the only thing yoi look forward to is a power nap session on the weekends. Am i right?  It's nice to be busy, & to be working and seeing it pay off. Workaholism is a thing again. 

Let me just say, going to live shows again feels like a dream. So far away from the reality we were living in a year ago. I missed it more than i realized. I'm ready for the new memories.

Let's talk spooky stuff 

About a week ago, we saw this flyer for fear street surfing the web. And we had some free time we decided to investigate the curiosity was through the roof for this one! 





It's located on Melrose, & its made to look like your dream Spook show VHS store from the 90s. Or as some passerbys called it "a weird bar". If you remember being that kid that passed the third grade with only book reports on Goosebumps. Welp this is for you.

The event is inspired by the Netflix trilogy Fear Street. In case you were wondering what IS that?!

The wait in line is dreadful but it's beautifully put together. We got there and one Earl Grey Ice blended from Urth cafe later, & a conversation about sleep and what the other two films will be about. We found ourselves looking up at this beautiful neon sign. 




Fear Street ~ It read our eyes dilating with anticipation, wearing our jackets as if it was our armor to fight off the monsters we were going to encounter inside. My stomach turned a bit, & I felt a bit anxious. What if im not brave anymore? What if i actually scream? What if Eddie screams? Dammit. I am laughing as i type this guise. 






The guy in the front said alright come on in, they were letting everyone go in groups of 4 or 6. But it was just us two. 
We stepped inside and were immediately transported to a darker version of a blockbuster. 
Rows and rows of horror films on display. 
We were handed a light and then every soul for themselves. 

The lights kept going in & out and we made a couple turns and there was people dressed as the skull mask serial killers that made me feel like we were stars in a misfits music video. 
One of them started following us and Eddie pushed me and proceeded to almost start jogging infront of me. He's like "that guy back there is following us!" 
And I was like "hey its okay"
But my heart started pounding .....i was scared. Wtf. 

I'd rather not talk about the rest because then there wont be any mystery left if you yourself the reader decides to explore this fun little pop up. Tis free & you can get yourself some coffee while you wait....
Don't expect some 15 min. walk through you can get through it in 5 min or less. 
I arrived home smiling from ear to ear. 
July felt like October. 
I guess you can say we're doing summerween right. 





P.s. 


I also snapped a photo of 
the cool membership card & tote bag they handed us during the experience. 
How sweet! The bag also had some spooky pins on it. 





Here's a recent photo of me... 
Till next time.
