We all have a few celebrities that top our "celeb sighting" list - the ones we would love to see at least once in our lives. And they're usually the ones that are the hardest to catch a glimpse of.
Well yesterday at the Grove, I spotted one on my list. I was getting ready to leave Zara and on my way out I saw a familiar face. So of course I turned around and pretended to keep shopping haha. Yep it was Alessandra Ambrosio! The gorgeous supermodel was out shopping with her daughter Anja. She was speaking Portuguese to her daughter the whole time while Anja tried on hats and was laughing up a storm.
I ended up being right beside her while we both checked out at Zara. So crazy! She looked like a normal person - she wasn't dolled up and was wearing casual clothes. She was still gorgeous of course.
The cool thing is when I see these different celebs, I realize they're just normal people doing the same exact things I'm doing. It's nice to know they're just like us in some ways.
As I was leaving the Grove, I passed Victoria's Secret and there she was again...but this time she was in a huge picture advertising for the store. How crazy that the same person I just stood two feet from in real life was now just a model in a picture. That's the thing about celeb sightings...it's exciting for a second and then they're gone in an instant. It's back to seeing them in magazines and on TV because most likely you won't catch a glimpse of the same one twice...
Always have faith!!

Fun hosting dinner and exciting news!!
Last night, we had a ladies hosting dinner and it was a blast! We tried out a place in West Hollywood called Spanish Kitchen...yummy Mexican, although the service wasn't the absolute best!
It's always so fun to reunite and stay in touch even when class is over! I love that us girls try to keep in touch! Here's a pic from last night!
And in other news...I GOT A JOB!!! Woohoo! I'm so excited! Finally, my first job in LA in the entertainment industry! I start in January and I'm very thankful that I have something now! It took a lot of networking and staying positive that's for sure! But it's definitely a step in the right direction!
Wonder what exciting things will happen next?!?
Always have faith!!

Determined People Succeed
I just read my daily devotional by Joyce Meyer and the subject was "Determined People Succeed." What a fitting topic. As I continue to question my choices and goals for my future, this devotional helped me realize that most everyone who has become successful in their respective fields has paid their dues.
People struggle and are told no time after time, but staying determined and continuing to believe and strive for success helps to build character that will get you where you desire in the future.
The passage really spoke to me because I know that I can be impatient sometimes. Most people want their goals to be reached now and without struggle. But understanding that I am being shaped during this process to reach my goals will help me become even better in the future.
So stay determined and you will succeed!

It's that time of year...Christmas shopping!
I'm making a list and checking it twice!
Let me tell you...it is impossible to shop at all the good places in LA in just one day! I've made a list of the places I need to go before I go home for Christmas, and it looks like I'll have to split my Christmas shopping up into three trips ahhh!! It's going to be crazy!
I figured I'd hit up the Grove and the Beverly Center for a few things one day, then make my way to 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica on a different day, and finally shop on Melrose and Robertson for my last day of Christmas shopping. And those places aren't even close to all of the shopping in this big city! But it's not like I'm going to Rodeo Drive or anything... ;)
I love this time of year though! Everybody is out and about enjoying the holiday spirit! Let's hope all this shopping is more fun than stressful!
Good luck with y'alls shopping as well!

Never bored in LA!
If there's one thing I know for sure...it's that there's ALWAYS something fun to do in LA!
Last night, my friends and I went to see a comedy show. I've been to two so far, and I always have a blast! I find the actors so talented because I know it must be hard getting up in front of a bunch of people and doing improv and acting crazy haha!
Plus, you never know who else will show up to watch the shows! Last night, Darryl (Craig Robinson) from The Office was in the audience watching. Pretty cool!
If you get the chance, I would definitely recommend going to a comedy or improv show. There are tons all over the city, and I can guarantee you'll laugh! :)
Hope y'all have a great weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIDDY!!!
It's my daddy's birthday...so I had to to post this:
I knew it would come in handy one day! :)
But I just wanted to say happy happy birthday to Jim Diddy Durin Fern! I don't know what I would do without him. He's always been so supportive and has taught me many things about life - the importance of perseverance, following your dreams, and most importantly always having faith.
So thank you for being such a great Dad, and I hope you celebrate a day that you'll never forget! Wish I was there...and please don't be derogatory haha!
Love you Dad!
Always have faith!!

Last hosting class :(
Last night was my final hosting class. And I'm so sad it's over! I met so many awesome people and learned so much during those six weeks.
Guess that means I'll have to take another one soon!
We got to tape our stand-ups last night, so everybody came dressed up and ready to film! It was a lot of fun! We used the teleprompter and each said our stand-up four times. Mine was about the CMA's...had to bring in the country music of course! :)
After class, we all went out to Rush Street in Culver City. It was such a cool lounge...I definitely want to go back! And I love how the entire class became so close that we keep wanting to hang out with each other haha. We all decided we're going to take another hosting class together next year!
Here's our "funny" picture that we took last night in front of the green screen. Good times!!
I'm sure there will be a lot more hosting memories to come in the future!
