LA Summer...Take 2

Life as an intern.

Wow, so much happened in California this summer, I don’t know where to start! I had been to California a couple times prior, but I wanted to ensure I saw everything I could while I was there.

For the 4^th of July, we went to a Dodgers game and to Newport Beach: both a ton of fun! I spent a majority of my time working, but found time to squeeze in dinner dates and outings with my Miss USA friends and some Nebraska alums. 

Good friends and former Miss Arizona USA 2010 & 2009

One of my favorite weekends was spent in Malibu. Alicia Blanco, Miss AZ USA 2009, and I spent the entire day on the beach. If I ever live in Cali permanently, I will be one of those people who camp out on the beach all weekend. It’s simple; all you need is snacks, sunscreen, a towel and umbrella. After a hard week of work it’s pure bliss. 

Until next time,

California Take 1

Summer 2011 was spent in sunny Los Angeles, California. I worked as a marketing executive at an advertising agency that specialized in digital media and had entertainment clientele.

I consider myself extremely lucky, to have had such a strong group of friends there. Former Miss USA contestants, whom I remained very good friends with, happened to be in the same area, so my weekends were spent being adventurous with them!

I can’t say enough good things about California. The weather, the people, the fashion, the culture, it was all wonderful. I could post loads on my life there, but I’ll document my two-month time span spent there in some photos below. Enjoy! Feel free to ask any questions.

One of my favorite things about California is the outdoor activity. I loved hiking Runyon Canyon

Dinner date with Michael at the Grove before he left.

Between working 40 hours (or more) a week, exploring the city, traveling, making new friends and tackling an online advertising class, I didn't have spare time to blog; but I really wish I would have! Looking back at these photos make me realize how much I really miss LA. I'll post a round 2 of photos soon!

Best,
