MY COLLEGE DINNER NIGHTS LATELY in DTLA

hi everyone!

Here’s a recap on some of my college dinner nights lately in downtown Los Angeles. The first place is Zinque and my favorite meal to get there are the muscles and fries. For sushi my go to spot is yunomi in the arts district and Panini kebab Grill is the easiest thing to Uber eats when you’re wanting to have a cozy night in!

Let's be real. Life is a Rollercoaster and I sure as shiii am horrible at balance. I learned something about Dopamine control and it starts with treating the first 90 days of the morning as sacred time. Wake up earlier. Read a book. Journal and set an intention for your day. Have your coffee in
