My bank account is suffering! 😂 Instead of calling Los Angeles (LaLa Land), they need to change it to Cha Ching Land. We haven’t been here a full two weeks yet and our bank account is looking like we’ve spent a month in Houston. Ohhh Key it can’t be that bad!

Biiiiihhhhhh! You know I’m hot! When have you ever paid $150 for parking? Never in my life would I think I would pay an additional $150 to park in a garage that’s down the street from my apartment. How you gone make me pay and walk, I feel bamboozled! Rent is sky high, Drinks $20, they charge $60 for day party’s, this isn’t right 😂 If you live in LA, you the shit, literally! I’m trying to figure out how people survive down here. No wonder the homeless population is so big.

The Bad

Traffic- Think about a time you’ve been in traffic and wanted to literally scream, now multiply that by 3. That’s LA traffic.

Nothings cheap- When I say nothing, I mean not a goddamn thing!

Apartments/Homes- The smallest I’ve ever seen for the Biggest (capital B) prices I’ve ever seen. No parking permits. Will get a $67 ticket if you park on the street. Have to pay additional fees for parking.

People- Cool, but Rude. It’s weird. Most people don’t speak, smile, or talk to you. I’m cool with that though. Everyone seems to be very open and non judgmental. Most are very materialistic. But if you got it, do you!

Homeless population- I’ve never seen so many homeless people in my life. I mean the weather is super nice here, so I understand, but sheesh! It’s sad. The homeless people are also a bit aggressive. I’ve gotten so used to them now, I just pretend they’re my neighbors.

Drugs- My eyes have been opened to the true meaning of addiction. I want to cry sometimes when I see ALOT of young people out here on hardcore drugs. Sometimes it seems surreal. It will be broad daylight and you’ll see somebody just strung out on the ground.

The Good

Inspiring- LA is the city of dreams. Everybody wants to be or feel like they’re somebody here! I love it because it’s motivating and it shows the passion and dedication that many have for their specific art.

Weather- The weather is absolutely perfect. I could literally sit outside all day!

Very diverse- The most diverse place I’ve ever been to. Which brings great food, open minds, and multiple learning opportunities about different cultures.

Food- Any food you can think of, you can find it right here in LA. Everything I’ve had so far has been delicious. Im excited to start trying more ethnic food from different cultures.

Active- I feel fat here. 86% of people I’ve seen have been in shape 🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s motivating AF!

Overall, LA is a an amazing city to come visit. Right now, I wouldn’t put this on my relocation list. It just doesn’t seem very “family oriented” and I want something different for my future kids. I’ve only been here for a short time though, so I’m staying positive and enjoying the ride. Keep our bank account in your prayers. Y’all know I'm cheap, and we love to eat 😩 Now here's some cute pics. Top and Shorts from a boutique in Houston (JUSTIN) Sandals-Burlington Coat Factory.
