Sunshinnnnnnneeee

Last night, Becky and I hit up Plan Check, a newish bar on Sawtelle, with my friend Priyah for an amazing dinner and cocktails. Priyah just got back from India and we had a lot of catching up to do. We tried the fries, beet salad, butter lettuce salad, and the portobello mushroom burger. PHENOM. And it was only made better by the experimental cocktails, including the Tropic Thunder made with jalapeno, another drink made with homemade soda, and mine which was made with rum, cointreau, and grenadine. In the words of Ina Garten, "How bad can that be?" Contemporary American comfort food was exactly what I was in the mood for and the environment was super upbeat. You def must check it out.



After dinner, we headed over to Alene's to pick up Aline, Alene, and Seda and headed over to The Misfit in Santa Monica for a couple of drinks with my girl, Veronica. Winners: the Bee's Knees (with lavender honey - obvs my fave ever) and the Bijous, which was sparkling with grapefruit and went straight to my head.

It was a casual night but it made me incredibly grateful for my friends. To have friends from all different times and parts of my life together and laughing and gelling is an amazing thing. Smart, snarky, and gorgeous, they inspire me everyday. I love those beezies.

So today, we're about to take the pups for a trailrun. My dad is making Greek food. I want to pick up a mini cupcake pan to bake some treats and I'm trudging through civpro. I got to talk to both Carrie and Rob this morning, which is always a pick-me-up ANDDDDD and I'm sifting through Coachella wardrobe options.

Despite a tough couple of weeks, I'm filled with gratitude.
