Post-hike vibes from yesterday. This completely and accurately sums it all up. #hiking #clouds #lakme #griffithpark (at Griffith Hiking Trail)

My buddy @loosecreek and I jumped out of a plane today and I took this photo shortly after the jump - I promise he was just as excited as my silly mug will tell you. Seriously nothing like I've ever experienced before and I definitely will go again. If you haven't done it before DO IT! #miniadventure #skydiving #skydive (at Skydive Santa Barbara)

The past couple of weeks have been insanely busy and this is the first chance I've had to run all week. Never thought lying on my floor listening to music post run after a week of 13+ hour days on a Friday night would make me so happy. #run #hellolosangeles #freelancelife #fuckyeah

Date night with myself Part 2!!! Ramen at my favorite, Shin Sen Gumi. I destroyed Thursday like a BOSS. #datenightwithmyself #ramen #hellolosangeles #shinsengumi (at Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen Little Tokyo)

Date night with myself, part 1. First stop was The Broad to check out the 3rd floor (which I hadn't visited yet) and then a really inspiring and fantastic performance piece by #MartineSyms. The piece behind me is by #LariPittman and it was one of my favorites of the trip. I think I'm gonna have to date myself more often. #thebroad #hellolosangeles #datenightwithmyself (at The Broad)

Like I said, it was mystical. #hellolosangeles #hiking #griffithpark #lahikes (at Griffith Park Observatory Hiking Trails)

The hike was extra mystical today and pretty AF. #hellolosangeles #hiking #lahikes #griffithpark (at Griffith Park Observatory Hiking Trails)

I think it's safe to say that yesterday was decidedly not awesome. But I'm still gonna take over 2016 like a boss. Damnit. #rain #home #hellolosangeles #elniño

The box that @amazon sent my new printer in was excessively large, so naturally I got in it. Feeling some Calvin and Hobbes time machine vibes up in here. Did I mention I'm a grown woman in my thirties? Hehehe. #calvinandhobbes #home #cardboardbox #cardboardboxtimemachine #hellolosangeles #grownasswoman

If the first sunset of 2016 is in any way indicative of what the rest of the year will look like then I would say this will be a spectacular, multi-faceted, and surprising year. I don't make New Years resolutions but the last 2 years I've picked themes for what I think my focus for the year will be. 2016 is progress, expansion, career, and love. I originally started with just the first two and then I realized that my life is by my design and why wait another year for the other parts of my life I know I want to welcome? I don't know that I've ever been so passionate and excited to start a new year and a new chapter of my life. There are so many new surprises to be discovered... #happynewyear #happynewyear2016 #newyearresolution #2016 (at Griffith Park Observatory Hiking Trails)

Top 9 of 2015. Some adventures, new home, and a couple selfies. Probably a pretty accurate portrayal of my year minus the countless hours I spent staying in to write at home: but photos of that are rarely interesting. The only other thing missing is my North Carolina family of friends, so one of my New Years resolutions will be to take more photos of them so you too can revel in their loveliness. 2015 was awesome and 2016 is going to be fucking spectacular. #bestninephotosof2015 #bestnine #adventure #home #writing

This is the first Christmas I have been really excited about in the past couple years and it feels really lovely to be in the spirit again. ❤️🌲☺️#happyholidays #christmastree #christmas

Often experimenting also means failing. But then you just keep going and it's no big deal. I'd even say that the most satisfying experiments include at least one failure, hopefully more. #makinstuff #hellolosangeles

My mom is visiting and the building manager left the wrong key for me after doing repairs today. We had to wait a little bit so I look over and my mom is just sitting there holding onto her pillow looking like a kiddo. My heart just couldn't handle how cute she is so I snuck a photo. ❤️ #mama #home #hellolosangeles

Holiday party kitsch. I am such a dork. But in a good way that I appreciate. #merrychristmas #party #dork

#latergram Look who I found in Utah! I met @superdomestique1 a few years ago when I interviewed him for a short documentary I directed for @soulpancake on the cycling subculture in LA. I had the honor of seeing him on my little adventure last week and he introduced me to one of my favorite places on the trip. There's something magical about crossing paths again unexpectedly with the loveliest people. My heart just keeps exploding in the best way possible. 📷: @salttrails #roadtrip #utah #antelopeisland #adventure (at Antelope Island State Park)

Another one from Utah. Take any chance you can to seize adventure, even a quick one. My heart is still reeling. #helloamerica #utah #roadtrip #adventure (at Antelope Island State Park)
