When you need a good laugh...

Head to The Parlor on Melrose!

Every Monday night The Parlor has a comedy night and it's SO much fun! I went last night with a couple of my friends and we literally cracked up for a good 3 hours.

There were comedians from Chelsea Lately, Comedy Central and more! It's always nice to start a work week off with a little bit of laughter, and that's just what we did!

It didn't hurt that there was an LA Laker there watching the show as well. Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace was watching the show too. And the comedians had no problem calling him out a time or two haha!

Another check off the bucket list! Who doesn't enjoy a comedy show every once a while. Doesn't hurt to laugh! I'll definitely be going back!

Can't say no to Vegas!

Impromptu trip to Vegas?!? I think yes!

And that's exactly what I did this weekend. Why not take the offer of a free hotel room at Caesar's Palace and spend Halloween weekend in the city that begs for craziness?!

Friday night was when the Halloween extravaganza began. It was the Paramount Halloween party! Talk about cool... Dressing up however you feel like it and dancing and mingling on a studio sound stage. Can't say that I've ever done that before!

Cute pic from the Paramount party: (and check out those lashes haha!)

Next thing you know I'm dancing to some Nicki Minaj while getting a text that says: Vegas at 6AM!!
WHAT??

Oh well...when you think Vegas, you really don't think sleep. So after the fun Paramount party, it was off to Vegas the next day. Just a quick trip, but it literally felt like I was there for weeks! Vegas can do that to ya!

We had a great room in Caesar's Palace, my friends got scammed by a guy on the streets trying to sell wristbands for a club (never listen to those guys), and I enjoyed a great dinner and fun night out!

I say I need more spontaneity in my life, and this weekend was just that. When you don't have too many responsibilities tying you down, you might as well experience this fun world around you as often as you can! #livinyoungandwildandfree right?!

I wanna be more like Rob...

Rob Dyrdek that is...

I don't know about y'all, but I'm seriously obsessed with watching re-runs of Rob and Big and Fantasy Factory. Not only do I laugh to the point of tears, but not gonna lie...that guy inspires me!

I just don't understand how he comes up with some of the things he does. Like having Drama ride a bull or purposefully getting attacked by a shark just to say he got attacked by a shark. He lives on the EDGE...something I think we all need to do a little bit more - although maybe not to the extent of getting attacked by wild animals...

That guy knows how to have fun while always finding ways to inspire others and give back. That's what makes me like him so much. He's inspiring, yet hilarious!

Since my roomie and I record every re-run on our DVR, you can imagine our embarrassing excitement when we saw Drama as we drove down Sunset Blvd. It went a little something like this...

"That guy looks familiar (while glancing at a white Range Rover next to us)."

"OMG that's DRAMA!!!!!"

Then for the next few minutes, all you hear coming from our car is "AHHHHHHHH WHAT?!?! AHHHH NO WAY!!!!!"

It's safe to say the Drama sighting made our night! Our friends in the back seat found us to be quite obnoxious.

What can I say? It's the little things sometimes...

So the moral of the story is...I wanna be more like Rob Dyrdek - super fun, a tad bit weird, a good ole friend and a giver, all why doing what I love to do. You know that's gotta be a fun life!


Always have faith!!

You better 'redneckognize'!!!

I don't know what it is, but I'm literally OBSESSED with Honey Boo Boo haha!

When it's on TV, you better not be changing the channel because that dang show just cracks me up!

It's gotten to the point that my Daddy and I call each other up just to tell the other one to 'redneckognize'! I know...it's a problem.

While I'm leaning forward on the couch with my elbows on my knees literally laughing so hard that I'm both crying and not breathing, my roommate is staring at me like I'm a fool. It's just what that show does to me!

Believe it or not...I was walking around the Grove yesterday and guess who was on their way to be on EXTRA? Yep...that'd be Honey Boo Boo and her momma June. Who woulda thought??

But honestly, it really is a great show to watch when you need some good entertainment in your life. If you're not having the best day or worried about why things are the way they are...turn to TLC and watch 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo'. In the end, they show us what's most important - family and friendships. Even if it is some kind of crazy family...they sure do have a blast together!

So as Honey Boo Boo might say, "You better redneckognize." Things can change in a day, so try your best to "redneckognize" what's most important in life and don't take yourself too seriously!

Checks off the bucket list!

What an amazing week!

I had no idea working at Paramount could keep getting better and better! To celebrate the studio's 100th anniversary, Paramount had a fun reception and special screening of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' on Thursday.

So I'm just sitting in the Paramount Theatre getting ready to watch the screening and out pops Steven Spielberg! What?! But it gets even better...

Our CEO was asking Spielberg questions about the movie and then you hear another voice. Well whaddaya know... it's dang Harrison Ford! AHHH so cool! We literally got to listen to Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg talk about making the movie and then got to watch it, knowing what went into making it! Is this real life?!?

Here are some pics:

What an unforgettable night! 

Then, this weekend was filled with birthday celebrations! On Saturday, I went to Malibu Wines for a bday party. It was SO gorgeous, even though it did take 1 hour and 45 minutes to get there! Shew...I'll never get used to this awful LA traffic.

The winery was gorgeous. You have to drive all the way up the Malibu hills and past the ocean to get there. There was music and friends and fun! Definitely a check off the ole bucket list. Who wouldn't want to spend a Saturday in Malibu? Here are some photos from the day:

This weekend was just perfect! I couldn't ask for anything better. It really reminds me of how blessed I am to live in such a fun city with great friends and lots of new experiences!

Just listen to Oprah...

You know those days when you feel down in the dumps?

The ones where you second guess everything and wonder when in the world the next step is going to come along or what in the heck you're doing with your life...

That's how I feel right now.

It's not a bad thing, but it definitely makes me think.

It's like I know exactly what I want to do with my life, but the journey is different for everybody, and you just never know what's going to happen or how long it may take.

On days like these...I turn to Oprah for some inspiration! I'm not kidding, that lady has something for every mood.

Today, I turned my thoughts to Oprah's Quotes to Help You Keep Following Your Dreams. And of course, it was just what I needed! Who can ignore an inspirational quote like this:

"There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. 

It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive." 

-OPRAH

That's right Oprah! That's exactly what I believe. You never fail to write/say the right thing. That's why you're you, right Oprah?

What a lady!

In the end...

Always have faith!!
