Hi, happy Monday!
Hope you guys are all having a semi-relaxing start of the week.
This weekend was spent in about 9 hours of traffic ( the races opened in Del Mar ), attending a beautiful wedding, cooking, & disconnecting from social media on Sunday ( look at me! ). Very nice little day break. It was like “AHHH.”
Still dealing with some major worry but really trying to keep my cool.
I’ve been spending a lot of time with family, my dogs, books, & definitely getting some workouts in ( they help with stress BIG TIME ).
Cooking has become quite the theme around our house too, as you can tell. For some reason cooking is just very de-stressing. So I’ve been whipping up some three ingredient pancakes ( twice with MY NEW PANCAKE PEN, SO OBSESSED ), fresh salads, my favorite soup, & ZOODLES.
YUM!

IN OTHER NEWS ! Three things:
1.) We’re working on a LA itinerary for you guys BUT we want to try a few other places before we add it to TSC. So I would LOVE to know: do you all have any LA favorites? We will be there this weekend adding places to our list!
2.) The Skinny Confidential is looking for an intern from San Diego or LA. If you’re interested, head over to my Instagram! Super simple.
3. ) More sassy app content will go live on the exclusive section of TSC App tomorrow AND a new podcast episode comes out too. We’re talking with a fitness/wellness expert.
To be honest, I am drained!! Currently snuggled up with peppermint tea ( I’ve been mixing CALM into it & it’s SO good ), a new book, & my two chihuahuas ( Pixy is snoring LOUDLY ). Ready to call it a night guys. Much more for you this week.
In the meantime, be sure to read this post on Botox. It was fun to write.
Goodnight! x lauryn

That summer salad looks so bomb! Def giving that soup recipe a go. Anyone who gets to intern for you would be seriously lucky! So much to learn from (& the extra champagne is a plus) 😉 x Shannon
It’s SO delicious let me know what you think Shannon! xx
Mixing Calm into peppermint tea sound like perfection!

Definitely give it a shot Kari it’s my new favorite! xx
Whenever I’m feeling down, I ALWAYS cook a delicious and healthy meal. And I am so excited for the LA itinerary! If Venice Beach, Century City mall and Santa Monica 3rd Street aren’t on there already, they should be. Rock Sugar kitchen is a total winner!
Great thank you for the suggestions Cassie!! xx
I JUST moved to the Santa Monica area, & I’ve discovered some great places over here! Sunny Spot is a brunch spot with cheap bottomless drank options! Also, Blue Daisy Cafe is my FAVORITE/super underrated brunch/lunch place for meetings with brands & other bloggers! There isn’t ever a wait, which is so surprising to me ( but also perfect… ).
I lived in Weho for nearly a year last year, & I really love Elberries ( I think thats what it’s called ) in that area. The BEST healthy brunch options! Also, Toca Madera is a total staple at this point.
For LA places, Plant on Abbott Kinney is great for drinking rose in the most beautiful little garden. And of course Butcher’s Daughter, also on Abbott Kinney, and Cliff’s Edge on Sunset. Have you been to Platefit? It’s a quick 30 minutes on a power plate that will kick. your .ass. I think you would love it! And you can head to Erewhon or Lifehouse for $20 tonics afterwards 🙂 Also check out the new Studio MDR in Playa Vista for pilates on the megaformer. Stephanie will almost kill you in the very best way.
Pancakes are so good, I agree…. We’ve been experimenting with some pumpkin pancakes around here. That salad looks delicious as well. Love your site!
