"TΞLL" by ΞSQAPΞ

I had one of the most magical experiences on the set of this project.

I've never visited the Salton Sea or Salvation Mountain before, so I was in awe the second I stepped onto these lands. There was a flush of purity, honesty, and tranquility that rushed under my skin as I inhaled the warm desert air and absorbed the scene. 

I laced my satin pink ribboned shoes, attached my butterfly wings, and fluttered away into my fairytale. 

I never felt so in my element.

And it wasn't just me; I was surrounded by all of my inspiring friends who were embracing their own unearthly spirits. 

We vibed out of this dimension and into many different worlds, all feeding off energies from each other. We sparked fireworks, played with psychedelic tarot cards, danced under the infinite stars, and soared in the turbulent midnight wind. 

It was beyond living,

and luckily, we were able to capture those raw moments. 

My soul needed the ΞSQAPΞ.

I needed this experience to realize that I am more to the person that I took for granted.

I discovered my mystical being, and pulled her up with me.

Everyone needs an ΞSQAPΞ.

Adventures to the Jim Morrison Cave

"Look up how to get to The Jim Morrison Cave," he asked me to do before we got on our way to discover this obscure place. I googled it, and followed the pinpoint to where it corrected as "The Corral Canyon Cave."

When we arrived to that destination, he turns to me and says "This is not it. It's not something you google. You have to really search for it."

I took a few moments and finally found a blog where the writer gave a detailed direction of how to get there from the point where you park your car to hiking towards the concealed entrance.

It was definitely more of an intense adventure than I was ready for. Nevertheless, the difficulty made it so much fun. After exploring and getting help from some hikers, we cam upon this extremely narrow cave opening that had the caution "Beware" spray painted all over the rocks…. It was intimidating.

We climbed through the cavity together and popped our heads into a world of a bubble gum pink trippiness. I've never seen anything like it, nor was I expecting anything like it:

Every inch of the cave was covered in crazy hand-painted illustrations. It is also known as "the Pink Vagina" because of the way its exit looks hahahaha!!!!!!

I was surpsied to have never seen any photos of this cave online or anywhere before. I thought it was so weird why such an extravagant place was not blown up by any of us artsy people here in Cali. 

I guess not everyone is down to put in the handwork of finding it…only the pirates deserve such a treat to experience the Jim Morrison Cave.

And a hippie pirate I was~

I See, I Admire

If I had to choose my favorite place in Tokyo, it would have to be Harajuku. 

Its the shopping (obviously), purikura, crepes, street art, and the Meiji Shrine (I think thats what sells it for me).

I love everything about the intense exhibition of pop culture there along with the tranquility of nature. 

I also enjoy the 12min walk from there to Shibuya ;]

I see it all; I admire its beauty.

Later that day, we made our adventures into the artistic little town in Tokyo known as Koenji.

The most interesting part was that they're were some amazing street art and tiny hole-in-the-wall shops that people just pass by without any attention. 

The art and unique shops seem to just exist for itself, and only those who are lucky enough to cross its path get to see the gems it preserves. 

Sadly, it was inevitable for the day to end, so we made the Meiji Shrine our last spot.

I believe that the Meiji Shrine is special because it usually gets forgotten by the overbearing flashy colors in Harajuku st., located right on the opposite side, which attracts all the attention.

Little do people know what's on the other side of the the Harajuku train station that separates the two.

It's one of my favorite places.

My Downtown LA Adventures of Yumminess

I decided that LA will always be my home-base and best fit for my diverse tastes. 

I never felt the need to live elsewhere because this city is pretty accomodating for a daring foodie that I am. 

Los Angeles has hidden gems illuminating from every crack like an underground mine, waiting to be discovered by adventurous locals such as myself.

Even throughout the long years, I have yet to try many of these amazing places to eat. Angeleneos sure have it good with the vast array of places to grab some delicious and unique grub; boredom is inexistent. 

The warm summer evening inspired me to crawl out of my den and enjoy the venturing of my neighborhood.

Here's where my adventure began…

Tucked in the corner of a plaza in Chinatown stands the infamous Chego! I'm a huge fan of fusion food and bold flavor, so there's no question that this place is my new addiction. 

If you're a pork fan, you must get their Chubby Pork Belly bowl because it will change your life. The food here is beyond words. I love that they use only fresh and local ingredients to make their food.

Afterwards, I particularly enjoyed our stroll around Chinatown at this late of night because it had a abandoned and creepy vibe going on that seemed to excite me. 

A few minutes away from Chinatown lies the trending area in Downtown known as the Arts District. Thus, Pizzanista! was our next spot.

A little birdie once told me that they serve their special Mac & Cheese Pizza exclusively on Sundays, so this was the perfect opportunity to finally try a slice.

Cool vibes

The Veggie Pizza was my favorite!! AWESOME 

Mac & Cheese Pizza
Was good, but not great. It came short on my expectations… :[

It just made sense to conclude my foodie adventure with something sweet.

This hole in the wall called Pie Hole had their hole in the wall crammed by a ton of hipsters.

I 'll honestly say that it didn't live up to all the hype that it has been getting. Because we got there late, I didn't get to try the pies I wished to get, and the portions were TINY….not worth $6. 

Oh well...I had to try to find out anyway

Don't get me wrong; it was still very good, but I wouldn't repeat going there.
