I realize this is a long shot, and I really don’t have the funds to dish out anyways. I have c-ptsd, and more compounded trauma within recent years. I am open to all types of healing (I dabble in Jungian psycho analysis on myself, have friends who get paid to do energy work - they don’t live here, etc) Open to guided journeys, somatic, you name it. I am doing my own inner work in addition, but could really use some help, or a friend to talk to who’s been through the dark knight of the soul, and made it to the other side ❤️‍🩹 I’m 34, don’t have my life together on paper (but have worked a series of jobs that would make you think otherwise). In a weird middle ground of outgrowing immaturity and toxic patterns. Trying to rewire my nervous system after regressing deeply due to recent events. Maybe this is too honest, hoping it’ll attract the right people. I just want real conversations. I’ve done the work, but there’s always more to do, and I’m stuck between a rock and hard place right now.

I’m looking for a russian nail tech that is meticulous, clean, and does nails lasting 4+ weeks. Someone who does actual Russian manicures with experience rather than a newbie. If they aren’t telling you to put your thumb in separately, don’t recommend them lol

My usual girl priced me out at $150 now and I can’t justify anything over $115.

I know it’s been asked before, but the recs were meh. Thanks!!

Hi girlies…I’m an older mama. 46 with an almost 3 yr old boy and I’ve been wfh with a stay at home nanny so don’t really have any mom friends in the area.

Most moms are younger than me so haven’t met any other moms in the area…I’m reaching out here to see if any other older mamas are out here and would want to connect and maybe play date, mama hang out, etc?

I live in Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks but I spend time on the westside and southbay often. Would love to maybe start a meetup. LMK if you’re interested 🥰🫶

I’ve enjoyed Chinese massage spots for years. While they can be hit or miss I’ve also had some of the all time best massage/reflexology treatments.

For the first time last night, I stopped a massage in a private room because it was just terrible and he made me uncomfortable. Not sexually but an angry vibe. As I was getting dressed the manager came, offered a different masseuse, I agreed and had a good experience. However I could hear the manager and the other therapist get into a huge argument.

On the one hand I’m proud of myself for respectfully stopping something that did not feel right for my body. On the other hand it made me think about how they get work there, their experience, training etc. I know there are good and bad places… I’ve had a lot of very positive experiences with practitioners for years who seemed happy. But that argument sounded brutal and still made me feel bad for the therapist. He just needed some training and probably anger management. Maybe it was just a bad day

Does anyone have insight into how they are run, employee safety. Etc. Tips on recognizing ethical establishments.

I don’t have large breasts, but support is important to me. I have bras with underwire but when I wear a tight top like Aritzia contour, the underwire shows. I hate it!! Any recs?

This isn’t a unique post so I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll work for me. Between wfh for so long and some of my close friends moving away over the years, I need to put myself out there to start new friendships. I miss having local friends where it doesn’t always involve planning a month+ out, driving across the city, or paying $$$ for events.

My ideal hangout is coworking (or yapping with our laptops open) at coffee shops on weekdays bc the list of places I want to try is constantly growing. I’m horrible at working from anywhere other than my couch unless someone else is involved. Okay maybe not my “ideal”, but a good, low stakes starting point for making friends on the internet.

The basics:
31F, Toluca Lake area, wfh in marketing/design

My pros:
- loves trying new foods
- type-c personality
- reads a lot of thrillers books
- adhd
- enjoys early afternoon walks
- into creative hobbies (not great at them but I’ll try anything)
- not flakey if we make plans

My cons:
- not an AMC a-lister
- not a Disney person
- not a drinker
- replies in my head sometimes and forget to text back for a bit
- always down for a little treat
- never consistent with the gym

Ideal hangouts:
- coworking at coffee shops/cafes
- hot girl walks in the early afternoon
- free events
- pottery/any creative class
- concerts (going to Hilary duff in July!!)
- walking around the mall if it’s hot out
- Wat Thai temple on the weekends
- night markets
- cooking classes
- sitting by the pool

If this interests you, let me know. this feels like a dating profile now so I’m going to leave it at that 😇

ETA- not shocked that I have to say this because it’s Reddit… but if you’re a MAN stop messaging me please! I will not respond, so you’re wasting both of our time.

Hi there, I have been out of my luck with a lower back injury that has made me deplete all my savings. I have medi-cal already, met up with my doctor, and a referral will take weeks for physical therapy. I am trying to see if I can find any acupuncture and TCM doctors that take medi-cal (LA Care). Or if they have any sliding scale/low cost options. That can alleviate pain temporarily and provide holistic support for my back injury. While I navigate the already confusing and complicated process of the medi-cal system.

Also any additional advice to raise any sort of income as well. I would’ve done the trip to crossroads. But my doctor advised me against any heavy lifting until PT😔

Thank you for listening 🫶🏽

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a law firm that has open positions for something entry level. Not a paralegal or anything, but maybe like an intake person or something?

If you guys know of anything, that would be great :)

Looking for an auto body repair shop that is trustworthy and fair priced. Had two cars (trucks?) sideswipe my car when it was parked. Cant go to insurance (they will up my rates) so want to get it fixed. Los Feliz, K-Town, Glendale, Echo Park?

Where are we buying replacements for Everlane’s Women’s 100% Cotton Box-Cut tees? They’ve lasted me for years and I love the heft/weight of the fabric (not too thin, not too heavy). I’ve never had to baby them and I routinely chuck them in the dryer.

Disappointed so far with Uniqlo tees. The Crew Neck tee is too long and not a cropped length. The Airism tees are not 100% cotton. The sleeves on the Mini tees are too short and the shirt is too fitted.

Please share if you’ve found similar style 100% cotton tees under $70 USD!

Hi LA Hot Girlies! I'm in an LA (and OC) writing group for women ages ~25-45. It was actually started from a Reddit post in this sub last year. We do a mix of different writing from personal essays to fiction novels. Some are professional writers, and others (including myself) are not. We are currently looking for new group members.

We meet every other Tuesday on Zoom at 8:00 PM for an hour (next is May 26). At our meetings, we either share feedback on a piece of work submitted by a member or do writing exercises together. It's a supportive, encouraging, and fun group. Thanks to being a member, I've personally found myself dedicating more time and effort to writing, something that brings me a lot of joy.

Please DM me if you're interested in learning more!

Hi beautiful ladies,

I’m currently looking for a specific fruit shaped mug (blueberry shaped) and I found a few artists on Etsy who can custom make me one but I was wondering if any of you knew local female pottery makers who can make me a blueberry mug :) I’d love to support a local female owned business, if possible!!

(It is for my cat) Ty!!

Whenever I go, I literally sit at the fountain area.

Any awesome desserts worth checking out?

Perhaps must buy items or stores to visit?

It's honestly like a maze to me. 😅

Replies to comments:

I am very shocked at how some of you treat me just because I'm a straight male. Then what is wrong with asking someone to be friends? 🤦‍♂️

I have walked around. I had alot of bad experiences. I wanted to know what I was missing out on. I was looking for recommendations and such. Perhaps foods I definitely need to try. 🤭

Having read the rules... Did I miss a rule stating this subreddit is only for girls?

Please stop harrassing me. Please respect my privacy. Taking my old comments and cutting away the relevant context to imply I'm a creep, Is definitely ban worthy, in my opinion.

Bad vibes are strictly in your head. If you take the time to get to know me, perhaps you'll get different feelings. 🙇‍♂️

I love working outside of the house but my dog usually has to come with me. Muddy paw is excellent but I’m such a night owl, I’d love a late night spot to do work and observe the world. Bourgeois Pig used to be my jam, open til 2am, was so bummed when it closed.

How many others deal with this issue?? First date is good, second is good enough, then either you or the other person decide after the second that it’s not worth it to pursue a third.

I’ve (29f) found lately that if I make it to a second date and still am on the rocks about it, I’ll give one more date a go before letting them know I’m not feeling it romantically. I went on two good dates with someone recently and while I wasn’t sure if I was feeling the romantic vibe with them, I decided to give a 3rd date a shot. The texted today calling it off because they aren't feeling it either.

I’m so tired of it and it’s so depressing! they always say that I am great and they enjoyed my company, but they do not feel a romantic connection.

also, how often do you find yourself wanting to go on a third date even if you’re questioning it? I hate to admit it, I feel like maybe I am a little desperate sometimes and I think maybe that drives the want to try a third date to reallllyyy make sure, lol. I’m just feeling a bit sad today and am shouting into the void here about my feelings and am curious about the experiences of others!

Standing in line at the Pasadena Erewhon at 6:50am because I could not sleep, hair in a claw clip, jeans I literally pulled off a chair, and a sage tank that was on the floor. Girl behind me in full Alo set goes "your fit is so cute, where are the jeans from." I do not remember buying these jeans.

Some of the best outfits of my life have been pulled from a pile in the dark and I do not know what to do with that information.

Anyone have recommendations for PRF for under eyes, or similar treatments? Especially in East LA or Pasadena area.

I previously had under eye filler and was not happy with results, so looking for something a bit more natural, but with good outcome.

Thanks!

I literally just want to use a treadmill because I have no room for a personal one 😩 Looking for a cutesy gym that isn't filled to the brim with stinky men! Not Equinox, though!!! xx
