Buzzin' Around LA 🐝

January 27, 2019 April Merlas
Silver Lake, Los Angeles.

Silver Lake, Los Angeles.

With my first post into 2019 (and to sound undeniably cliche), I’m already feeling like such a different person than I was last… post.

I’m more than halfway through completing a 100 day ab challenge 💪 by Blogilates (and encouraged my coworkers to do it with me) and I am finally (foreal, foreal) getting my finances in order. PLUS, this new wave of change has even led me full-force into an opportunity I couldn’t resist.

*drum roll please*

I’m excited to announce my role as a City Rep for Bumble!

Starting a new life here about 2 years ago, I would have never imagined I would get to this point. As a small girl in a big city, I had to put myself out there (down to handing out business cards) and had allowed myself to create as many opportunities as possible to get to where I am. But it all makes sense - I love connecting, inspiring and being a fangirl for others in my community. THE app that’s a fun space for others to date, hang out AND network - is the same woman-founded company that values kindness, respect and taking initiative.

So let’s vow to connect with each other, engage in real conversations and leave the small talk in 2018. Let’s make this honey! 🍯

If you plan on living it up in Singapore, chances are that you're shopping incredibly high-end retail and enjoying the pools vibes at Marina Bay Sands hotel.

Exploring different countries in Asia has always been on my bucket list but Singaporean culture was something completely (with a lack of a better word) foreign to me.

Manila | Lunch Revelations at Scarsdale

Starting off my days in Manila, I've been accompanied with my best friend Sam - who took me to lunch (after no longer being jet lagged) at a spot in SM San Lazaro, a popular chain all across the PI.
