1. Handmade Ceramics Classes
It’s been a great way for me to get out of my routine, learn something new and create in ways we might not be able to at home.

2. Minivans
Who says minivans aren’t cool? Not me! I’ve fully embraced my minivan life as a mom of two and a person who loves having lots of space to transport everything!

3. My Puppy, Sticky
I told my kids we would never get a dog, and then 2020 happened and everything changed. She’s made our lives happier and more fun, and she comes to work with me everyday now!

4. Chinatown, Los Angeles
Take a walk around to see the love and joy that went into this area and the rebirth that is happening. It offers a slew of inspiration and plenty of decades-old shops you’ll want to pop into and support.

5. Flea Market Shopping
With masks on and social distancing, one of my spots to get inspiration and vintage finds is back on the 2nd Sunday of every month, The Rose Bowl Flea Market.
