LA to Wauwatosa

Once I finished my finals at FIDM I got on a plane and flew from LA to my hometown, Wauwatosa Wisconsin.   Whenever I tell people where I'm from they always ask what there is to do in Wisconsin

Truthfully, a lot of netflix gets watched

but every once in a while when we get bored of Portlandia we go out and do cool stuff!

My personal favorite thing to do has always been biking,

which is all Ive been doing since I got home

The main thing I miss about Wauwatosa when I'm in the city is having nature around me.. hiking runyan canyon is way different than hiking in real woods or taking a bikeride to the middle of nowhere... plus no one at home is checking to see if youre wearing lulu lemon or target brand workout attire.  My friends only care to see if I showered in the last five days.  

Its a refreshing dose of reality really.

Today we went biking on the Oak Leaf Trail
Its a trail that loops all around southeastern wisconsin and will take you to some really beautiful places.

just taking a break at mile 8

After we went to one of our old hang out spots, Dewey Hill, and then out to a late dinner at an adorable hole in the wall called Juniper 61... they have a fabulous blue cheese dip

my friends are cuter than your friends

these are the people for which the idea for young broke and fabulous started.... cause no one knows better than a tosa kid how to be goodwill chic

heres juniper....SUPER adorable in the back and the food is bomb af
(one downside about being back in Tosa is that you start to talk the weird slang i.e. "bomb af")

So if you ever find yourself in the area with nothing to do, I suggest you come here
