Bottega Louie is an upscale restaurant with a mix of French, Italian, and California Fusion cuisine. The brunch menu is California Fusion. The lunch and dinner menus are Italian. The Patisserie is very French. It’s one of the Instaworthy spots in Downtown LA because of the Intaworthy decor and macarons. The full bar, macaron shop, and gift boxes make it very Instaworthy. The hours are from 7 am to 10 pm (weekdays), and 8 am to 10 pm (weekends).

The Los Angeles Central Library is one of the biggest libraries in the United States. It’s also very beautiful, artsy & Instaworthy. The mural on the second floor tells the history of California. I love the chandelier, which is a piece of art in itself.

You might want to 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘 this if you’r You might want to 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘 this if you’re an emotional eater. On Instastories, you shared your tips on how to avoid emotional eating and I have your tips listed here: ⁣

I was surprised to see how many of you in my community are also emotional eaters. I think the biggest struggle of emotional eating imho is that you don’t even notice how much you’re eating. I once binge ate a box of salami without even realizing cuz I thought I had failed an exam. ⁣
⁣
The best tip I can give you is instead of focusing on emotional eating, focus on the emotions and know they’re temporary. That’s what I remind myself. ⁣

We collectively have difficult memories of this pa We collectively have difficult memories of this past year. But we can still leave 2020 with a sweet note by concentrating on all the good things (no matter how small) happened this year! 🥳⁣

I know I stressed out a lot by worrying  about the health of my family and friends. I felt truly isolated because of social distancing. But, I also miraculously found a job after being unemployed for what felt like a decade + my mom TG is (slowly) recovering from two minor surgeries (which could have been worse if not diagnosed right away)! I also had the support of my IG community when I felt lonely or bored (so thank you guys 💋)⁣
⁣
And we can welcome 2021 with a prayer: Praying this year to be better and healthier and happier. 🎆🎊🎉⁣
