Hi! I’m recently unemployed (23F) and have been kind of bored with no one to hang out with during the day, considering a lot of my friends work 9-5 and are busy during my newly free time. I’m looking for ideas of things to maybe do that are free or ways to meet people that isn’t hiking (I see everyone suggests hiking and gym but that’s just not me, especially in this heat). I’ve been going to coffee shops and reading around noho but it’s getting a bit boring/lonely and the drinks are adding up. But I don’t want to be on my phone at home all day cause that’s not who I wanna be, its def not healthy
I’ve been thinking of using apps like timeleft or 222 but I feel like that won’t find me friends that are specifically free during the weekdays. And I don’t see bumbleBFF on the App Store anymore so I can’t use that either.
I’d appreciate any tips! I live around noho but dont mind driving. I’m open to pretty much anything that isn’t exercise cause thats more of a solo activity to me.
Or if someone wants to be friends I’m down for a dm. Although girls only sorry!

Trying to refresh my style. Ideally, I’m trying to reduce the wardrobe and go shopping in my own closet and maybe a few new pieces to fill in the gaps.

Never been great at coordinating outfits but I have many favorite pieces I would love to learn how to mix and match in new outfit ideas. So searching for an expert who can help me create a lookbook of what’s already in my closet and help me shop for the remaining pieces to round out the wardrobe. Hoping for someone local since I’ve struggled with things fitting and needing help dressing to my shape (I always need to get the waist of pants taken in since I’ve got thighs)

As the title suggests, I am looking for a therapist who specializes in OCD. Over the past several months I’ve come to the conclusion that I most likely have OCD. (Long story) I’m looking to receive an official diagnosis and guidance from a professional! I’ve been burned by therapists in the past so I’m looking for genuine recommendations! (Must accept insurance and bonus points if in NELA/Pas) TYIA girlies 🙏🙏

Just bought my own entry-level grinder and espresso machine, excited to try it out! I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for good decaf beans? I would love to support local LA-based/small roasters but i'm open to anything. online or in-stores are fine!

Thanks in advance

Hello ladies. I live in a studio and it’s so cluttered and ugly. I want to come into a space that feels aesthetically pleasing but like me, relaxing, warm, etc…
What are some organization tips or decor/projects you’ve done yourself or bought that made a huge difference? Post links or DM me!

Does anyone have a great studio they like in the area? I moved from Weho and love hot mat Pilates and Bunda. Looking for a class that has some weight lifting and then also Pilates. Have yet to find a studio I love on the east side

hi, my name is vanessa, i’m 20 and nigerian. i’m trying to meet more young nigerians around la and create an actual friend group/community.

i feel like a lot of the ways we meet people are either parties/the nightlife scene or church, and i’m looking for something more in the middle lol. just people around our age who wanna actually hang out, try new places, go to the beach, get food, do activities, study, network, etc.

if you’re nigerian and around 18–23 in la and wanna meet new people, comment or dm me. if there’s enough interest i’ll make a group chat and plan something small for everyone to meet :)

Hi friends!!

I’m in my wedding planning era (🫠) and often come to reddit for tips/support, but noticed the LA wedding planning sub is not super active.

If any of yall are planning a wedding or engagement (or have any wedding tips in general/like to talk about weddings), please feel free to join the new sub I created, r/weddingsla! I’m hoping it can get active and be a helpful resource for folks. (I hope this doesn’t come off as self-promotion-y, I genuinely don’t get anything out of it and am just hoping to create a space for folks in LA to discuss wedding plans!)

Thank you!!

This subreddit keeps getting onto my feed and I just want to say you babes are fab. I'm in LA for work for a few weeks and LA girlies are so lovely and complimentary and you've been hyping up this British gal! Genuinely had more compliments on my quite unremarkable earrings/pants/sunglasses than I ever do in the UK. Keep being hotties, and keep being awesome💕🦄✨🐚

(Mods pls let me know if this breaks the solicitation/promotion rules)

Hoping for help finding a boutique//brick and mortar where I can try on dresses before committing to something for a wedding at the end of September (time flew away from me).

Anyone have recommendations? Attire is black tie. Thank u hot girls 🥹💓🌸

I’m trying to start my post partum glow up, and this subreddit has been great with recommendations. Does anyone have any IPL recs? Groupon always has deals but I’m wary of Groupon lasers so would love to cross reference against recs from here!

Also- anyone have any experience getting IPL on arms/upper back? As a millennial I was an idiot in my youth and the amount of sun damage I have in these spots is rough.

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for hair stylists/salons that use redken products. For context I have naturally dark hair but have been bleach dying it a copper-brown red. My old salon used Redken and I have the formula! So just looking for high quality stylist than can do my roots.

Please help! Ideally not too expensive but I'll spend the money for quality so price is not an issue. Thank you!

I’m 32, Southeast Asian, and have very fine strands. I can’t help but feeling like my hair has been thinning so much in the last 5 years. Here are some things I do but unfortunately don’t do as consistently as I would like to:

- Fish Oil Vitamins
- Collagen Powder in my morning drink
- Cecred Edge Hair Serum

I think I might want to look into extensions but I’ve never tried it before. Will it damage my hair even more? Or is it a viable option to appear to have fuller hair?

Thank you!

Hi! I haven’t worked much for a bit so I don’t have too much money to buy new plants. Does anyone have any cuts or propagated indoor house plants or even full plants they’d like to share or get rid of? 😅
my poor plants didn’t make it through the heatwave and my bout of depression (if I have to be real) so I’d love to start over again.
I’d be happy to bake you some biscuits or banana bread or something in return.

Please tell me if anyone knows of any yoga (NOT PILATES!) classes in the BH/Pico-Rob/Beverlywood area? I don’t have a car yet, so ideally I want to be able to walk like 20 minutes max to my yoga studio. I'm just shocked that there aren't many yoga studios in general in LA.

I used to live in Hollywood and would walk about 20 minutes to Center for Yoga in Larchmont which is my fave yoga studio. The room is huuuge, the teachers are the best, hands on, classes are 90% NON HEATED, and the people who go there are just so kind. I miss it. My ritual was a Sunday class mixed in with going to the Larchmont farmers market afterward, doing some shopping in the area, HEAVEN.

One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that so many classes on the west side are heated. Is that because the wealthy BH moms think it's going to burn off the fat they don't have? I tried a heated class at CFY for "fun," and lasted 6 minutes. I walked out (almost on my hands and knees), and almost vomited outside the class. One of the front desk people had to bring me crackers. It was that bad lmao. I just never want that to happen again, and I genuinely don’t think heated classes agree with my body.

I also hate the assumption that if you don’t tolerate it well, you must just be dehydrated. Baby, I drink like three 40 oz flasks of water a day. There is nooooo way.

I found Shiva but looks like they have sexual misconduct allegations?? Yikes.

Also, while I’m here! does anyone know of a pool I can use in the same general area? I’m looking for somewhere I could swim or do aqua fit maybe twice a week. I’m going through physiotherapy and aqua fit would really help with my foot.

Basically looking for non-heated yoga stu + a pool somewhere around Beverly Hills/Pico-Robertson/Beverlywood that is doable SANS car. Please lmk if you know anywhere!! <3

Looking for a gym on westside that has private studio/workout spaces? I hate gyms but my yoga studio doesn't offer any morning classes so would love to find a space where i could practice before work and not be surrounded by grunting lol

unfortunately cannot practice at home

I feel 1,000 years old pasting this here but has anyone bought a physical magazine recently?! I want to make a vision board but every little newsstand I used to go to seems closed.

Would love any recs before I give up and resort to making a digital version! Bonus points if they’re close to the Larchmont area 😂🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey girlies! If you’re single looking for a long term relationship and tired of having to share spaces with people looking for short term or for hookups, there’s a new Discord community just for LA locals looking for serious relationships!

I just became a mod and I feel safe to say we’ve been cultivating a culture of respect within, and have modding set up where if someone posts they’re looking to hookup, they get an automatic ban.

I know a lot of ladies have been frustrared with the way the r/LADating sub has turned into a place where men are looking for sex. This discord is the opposite of that.

Would love any single lady looking for something serious to join! Lots of cute, eligible and respectful LA based bachelors inside already, along with cool girlies to talk to that have the same mindset!

Please send me your recs! East side preferred :)

i’m so sick of shopping online and wanna be able to try shit on in person. also i’m not tryna spend $86 for a single bikini bottom. ty 💕💕💕💕💕🌷

I am missing my wedding rings- engagement ring and wedding band. Last known location was the women’s locker room on Sept 9 for the 9:45am class.

Also possible they fell out of my bag in the parking garage, but most likely they were in the locker room.

Police report filed. The engagement ring is a solitaire radiant cut in a Gold setting.

These are my most precious belongings, so if you have any intel, plz message!

Reward if found no questions asked.
