June & July Life Update

June & July Life Update

Hi! Hello. 

I haven’t written a blog post since May and wanted to bring everyone up to speed on everything that I’ve been up to last month. It’s been a hectic past few weeks, but I’m enjoying the ride!

Let’s get into it!

  • I turned 27 years old

On June 20th, I celebrated my 27th birthday in Seattle. I spent the day by myself at the Museum of Pop Culture, went on a walk with my best friend Adam, and had Mexican food for dinner. 

Getting older is strange, and it’s a reminder that my mother, who had me at 21, was raising a child my age. While I’m nearly 30, I still feel so young and inexperienced. 

  • I took another trip to Seattle and Portland

While I visit Seattle and Portland frequently, each trip is entirely different from the last. This time, one of my highlights (besides seeing my close friends Adam, Brigitte, Sierra, and Dana, of course) was booking a hike in Washington through  Airbnb

This was a birthday gift to myself, and it was everything I wanted and more. I spent time in nature, learned about Washington’s history, and made a friend from Atlanta. 

Another first-time experience was dining with my squad at  Raven’s Manor, a haunted mansion-themed restaurant and bar in Portland. The food was good, but the spooky ambiance was everything. We finished the night by playing arcade games at   Ground Kontrol

  • I’ve been writing and writing and writing….

Work-wise, June was an incredibly busy month! I currently write celebrity and lifestyle articles for  The List. However, I also began to do more freelance work, including for  LB Living, a website that focuses on events happening in my college town, Long Beach. 

  • The Leslie Life turned 4!

It’s been four years since I started my blog! Time does not feel real, and I can’t believe I’ve been writing for so long. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I know I don’t write often, but I have not forgotten about The Leslie Life! 

There are a lot more adventures coming soon, so please stay tuned!

XOXO
