Home Office Decor

I recently transitioned from my big girl Monday-Friday marketing position to a contract writer gig, in order to take my blog more seriously. Since then, I’ve been freaking the frcak out wanting to update my home office to a more serious hey-an-adult-lives-and-works-here space. Below are the items I’m currently lusting after. Dear Santa, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Coffee in Culver City

Bar Nine Collective is one of my favorite spots to start the morning in my hood of Culver City. Not only do they make bomb.com cold brews, but they also offer a tasty selection of breakfast treats. Just make sure you get there before 11am, when the (also delicious) lunch menu starts. If you’re serious about coffee (or fun), stop by on Sundays at noon for a public cupping, where you can sample all of their coffees. You can also get down on brunch from 8am-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Psst… They don’t serve Mimosas or Bloody Mary’s, but you’re welcome to BYOB. Enjoy the pics, then go follow them on Twitter for caffeinated updates!

Melody Lowe of Mustache Melrose

Ohai guys! This is my first official HELLO-YOU-GUYS-I-HAVE-A-BLOG-PLEASE-READ-IT-IF-YOU-WANT-OKAY-THANKS-BYE blog post. I’ve included a few other posts to give you an idea of what kinds of stuff and things you can expect to find here each weekday.

Positive stuff and things that rule like photos of recent trips to my hometowns of Austin & San Antonio, adventures around Los Angeles, goodies to spruce up your home & stylish picks for laid-back, low-maintenance ladies like myself. Oh, and a whole-lotta Culver City love.

Anyhoo, thanks for reading! Come say hey on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest OR EVEN REAL LIFE if ya see me on the mean streets of Culver City. I love you. BYE FOR NOW!
