The Scenario Studios has been hired by celebrities and Fortune-500 companies to produce elaborate private photo shoots at their parties and events. The only guests who were able to enjoy a Scenario photo shoot had to be connected to a celebrity or large company, but now, for the first time ever, the public is invited to join the likes of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Kanye West, the Kardashians, and over 100 other celebrities who have experienced Scenario on set.
Now, for the first time ever, the “most expensive photo booth in the world” is available to the general public for the price of a museum ticket, located in the heart of LA inside the Grand Central Market. They just had their grand opening today – so rush now and grab your tickets! Bring your friends, bring a date or just bring yourself.
TIP: Come looking your best and ready to play! Think first date, your BFF’s birthday party, meeting the parents, a pricey restaurant, family photo, first day at a new job, or knowing someone planned a surprise party for you. Better styling = better photos!
Here’s few of the photos that my friends and I took from the Scenario Studio.

PetPOP
Hi loves,
Have you all heard of PetPOP? It’s the first pet themed pop up museum for pet parents & animal lovers in Los Angeles! Although, I didn’t get a chance to bring my own fur baby with me. I had so much fun posing and taking photos at their different super cute photo opps below!
This animal friendly pop up museum is also amazing for date nights, girls night or even another way to spend some time with family and friends and make new memories. Dont miss out and visit them now before they close. At the very end of the experience, you’ll also get to meet adoptable super cute doggies that you can kiss, cuddle and take home with you from PawWorks. Make sure to pay them a visit and also find ways you can volunteer!

Mapiful
I’m not sure if it’s ever since I’ve dreamt of being a fashion designer or when I first watched Coco Chanel’s documentary or the movie, Marie Antoinette or Anastasia was when my obsession with Paris first started. All I know is, since then I’ve always dreamt of roaming the streets of Paris with my beautiful flowy dress and it will be more than magical.
Thank you so much Mapiful for gifting me this beautiful map of my favorite city in the world that I finally will get to visit on my 30th birthday at the end of this year! Also, huge thanks to my brother for buying me tickets to London and Paris as my birthday present. I cannot wait for this once in a lifetime opportunity and I cannot believe my dreams are finally coming true!

Endless Summer Photo Meet
Hi friends,
A few weeks ago, my best friend and I hosted our second photo meet up at the Venice Canals in Venice Beach. Here’s a preview of some of my favorite shots by our huge photography community in Los Angeles. A Photomeet is a meet up event normally hosted by someone of a few people who gathers photographers, models, creators, influencers to create content, collaborate and magic together. It’s a great way to network, meet new friends, make different connections and get to know your city a little bit.
For this meet, we wanted to host it at the Venice Canals as there’s something about the canals that are beautiful and majestic.
All outfits are made by yours truly! What did you think about these photos? Would you ever want to come to one of your meet ups?

How To Get Invited To Influencer Events
Hi Friends,
If you are wondering how do I get invited to influencer events, soft opening, fashion shows, wine festivals, or store openings, here are the easy steps how.
- Make your bio double work for you – include your email address + make your profile a business profile on instagram, where brands or PR can email you with a touch of a button.
- Always tag places you go to – on your insta stories, on your posts, tag, tag, tag + also mention them! You have a higher chance being invited back. You have no idea how many times I get to go to free festivals just because I engaged with a city or a brand out of nowhere. Also, PR and social media managers actually go through these tagged photos and check out the latest people that were in there – and that’s how they find you.
- Dont be shy! – continuously put yourself out there and do what you’re mean to do. Share what you’re most passionate about and talk about it. Brands that are aligned with your goals will see this and will be attracted.
- Create high quality content – once you get invited to your first free event, create high quality content and email back the PR or brand that invited you. You have a higher chance on getting another event in the near future vs. just showing up.
- Manifest + find your circle – talk about your goals constantly, write them down and tell your circle of friends or find your people that has similar goals than you. Make new friends if your current friends now don’t have the same goals as you. As you make more friends, your network get bigger which leads to more opportunities and events.
Hope this helps! Would you like to hear more about influencer tips in my blog? Please let me know in the comments below.

What’s a gift your father will love?
Do you ever struggle on what gift to give your dad on father’s day? If you’re someone like me, I have found the greatest present for you!!! Key Smart Pro is one the best things that have ever been invented in history (or at least for people like me and my day who always lose their keys!!!) Last Sunday I went home and spent Father’s Day with my family and gave my dad a Key Smart Pro. He was so happy that he finally doesn’t have to have a hard time looking for his keys or his phone ever again! Key Smart Pro can help you look for your keys in the Tile App, make your keys ring so you can find them faster and one of my other favorite parts (as I always lose my phone as well), you can press the tile button on your key smart and it will make your phone ring as well even if it’s on silent! Phew. How is this not the best invention ever for forgetful and clutter minded people? Can I share a little secret with you? You know your dad loves you when he actually gives you back the present you give him because he knows you need it more! That’s what my dad literally did. Funny coincidence, I lost my keys and I spent looking for them for two hours last Sunday before my dad found them for me; hence, why he told me to just keep it. Haha. Thanks Dad! So if you have a friend, sister, parent or anyone you know that needs this – don’t wait for next year’s father’s day, I suggest you get it for them on their birthday or just because you know that they need it.

Joy
Coco x Chewy
If you’ve been following my blog/journey for a while, I’m sure you know by now that I have a baby girl named, Coco. She’s the cutest, most playful dog that I love so much. It’s actually her birthday this coming Sunday so I wanted to thank Chewy for her gifts! Coco loves the outdoors so she was so excited to see that she got a chuckit! She couldn’t contain her excitement when playing! She also loved her new Frisco Pineapple Hawaiian Shirt where she can play in style! Thank you so much Chewy for her gifts. She is obsessed and in love with them.
Lavender Festival
It’s that time again when one of my favorite festivals at Highland Springs Ranch is here, The Lavender Festival! I love that it’s a family friendly festival yet, it’s also great for a romantic date. We came on the first opening weekend and there were actually less people than we expected, so less crowds, better opps! 😉 The scenery was lovely per usual and this year we ate at the buffet dinner (make reservations here ahead of time) We came late because we were too busy taking picture at the lavender field and ended up sitting in the middle of everything and got our own sweet table. I loved the scenery and being surrounded with light and eating underneath tall trees. The food itself was just okay to me but I was obsessed with their lavender tea and lavender lemonade! I actually mix them together and it was amazing. We also visited a few shops before we had dinner and Eddie bought so much stuff for the kitchen. We are both obsessed with lavender honey and lavender mint tea! Here are few of the photos we took below. There’s also an afternoon tea which we missed this year but definitely would love to try next year!
Hope you guys get to go this year! It’s open till June 30. Don’t miss out and treat yourself with some lavender goodness!

Ostrichland USA
Hi friends,
Have you ever been to an ostrich petting farm? I took my family to Ostrichland USA this weekend and made some new tall friends! To our surprise it was only 5 mins away from Solvang! It’s located at 610 E Hwy 246, Solvang, CA 93463. My family and I had so much fun! (even my grandparents actually) If you’re looking for a family friendly atmosphere, or even a cute date idea, Ostrichland USA is the way to go! Admission is free; however it costs $5 for each bowl of food when it comes to feeding them (totally worth it!)
TIP: Hold on to your handle very carefully and try not to get too close so the ostriches dont bite you (because they try) but also, don’t stand too close so they dont end up hurting their necks!
Here are a few of the pics that we took. They even had cute angel wings walls!
Let me know what you think about this blog post. Is this something you’d like to add on your places to visit list?
