“
I love starting my Fridays with walking Bailey to the Venice Farmer’s Market, stock up with my favorite Korean tempeh, buy myself some flowers, then teach yoga at 11am at The Yoga Collective.”

First I walk the pups to Menotti’s for the best almond latte, then I get my morning dose of sweat and inspiration with my girl Gina at Soul Cycle, spend some time on the computer working on my collection of jewelry, The Neshama Project, some meetings and greetings, and curate some beats for a playlist for class. I teach a candlelit soulful yoga flow at 8pm at The Yoga Collective. www.soul-cycle.com
Wild Card Boxing Club offers an amazing group boxing class that always starts my week off right. Then, I grab a mandatory post-workout juice at Lassen’s Natural Foods & Vitamins.

I walk the pups through the Venice Canals followed by a morning soulful sweat sesh, yoga class, or run. Then I make a green superfood smoothie and work on The Neshama Project. I usually then take lunch meetings over at Cafe Gratitude in Venice, watch the sunset, or take a nice long walk. www.cafegratitude.com T

Since I paint 5 days a week, I like to take my dog, Buddah, to the Silver Lake Dog Park for fresh air, and then walk down to L & E Oyster Bar for fresh oysters and a beer. T

For a mid-week pick-me-up, I go Reggae dancing at the Echoplex in Silver Lake. They have some of the best DJs in LA, and there’s always the possibility of a surprise guest performance! W

Coffee first! Sometimes I walk Bailey to Menotti’s W and then take her to the beach to play fetch with her. Then I practice yoga with my girl Mary Beth LaRue at The Yoga Collective. Lunch date. Emails. Work. Play with the pups. I have to spend time outdoors in the sun. If there is time, I will head over for another sweat sesh at The Studio MDR, watch the sunset by the Venice Pier, and then teach yoga at 8pm at The Yoga Collective—candlelit, soulful, sweaty flow. www.theyogacollective.com www.thestudiomdr.com | www.menottis.com
My friends go bowling every Thursday at All Star Lanes. If I need to see some faces, I’ll join them for a quick game and the occasional song at our favorite karaoke bar, Smog Cutter. T

After a long week, you can’t beat dinner at La Poubelle in Hollywood Hills. I love the European-style sidewalk dining, and they offer some secret off-menu dishes I can’t live without. F

I wake up and walk the pups followed by a T morning soulful sweat sesh with my girl Mary Miller at The Studio MDR. Then, it’s emails. Work. Play. Then I take Bailey for a drive down PCH to meet our girl Sophie of Philosophie in Topanga for a light lunch at Mimosa and a hike at Red Rock. www.cafemimosa.info | www.thestudiomdr.com www.thephilosophie.com
I love starting my Fridays with walking Bailey to F the Venice Farmer’s Market, stock up with my favorite Korean tempeh, buy myself some flowers, then teach yoga at 11am at The Yoga Collective. Then I lunch it up over at Zinque, then spend some time with likeminded entrepreneurs at an inspiring co-work space. www.lezinque.com | www.thevenicefarmersmarket.com

No cell phone. No plans. Entirely open to love and magic … usually outdoors in nature.
I teach a Sunday Funday yoga class at 11am at The Yoga Collective. One Sunday of every month, the class is accompanied by my friend, DJ Glenniest, for a soulful sweat sesh full of intention, flow and groove to some amazing beats. The rest of the day is about spending time with the ones that I love most. S

I wake up bright and early for the Silver Lake Farmer’s Market, where I find more than fresh produce! I recently bought amazing boots from a local artisan who travels the country sourcing hidden treasures. S

Sunday means breakfast at Little Dom’s in Los Feliz. They make my favorite Eggs Benedict, and it’s also located right next to Griffith Park, which has some of the best hiking in LA. S
