Who wants to guess who my favorite superhero is?
Just take a wild guess. Just some random, wild guess.
Voice over: The first week of August, I really just spent my time packing and preparing,
and just enjoying the time that I had left with the people who meant the most
to me. Alex: Whoo! Them glutes!!
Olivia: I know my booty's burnin'! Booty's burnin'!
Voice Over: It's kinda funny, because when I first moved here, I despised it.
I hated California, I hated Los Angeles...
but then I found people that I really cared about. I found a community, and
a lot of wonderful things. Olivia: ...wow...
Voice Over: I visited some of the nooks and crannies of California that I knew that I'd miss
the most, and even met a new friend along the way.
I said goodbye to my lovely people who I actually hadn't seen in a few months,
and of course- Olivia: Oh he saw us! VO: I had to see Dylan.
Olivia: I heard Dylan, I heard him!
Dylan: Stop!!!!
VO: Dylan just opened up a storefront in Santa Clarita, California and I'm really
excited to see what he does with it. I'm really proud of him. They have really
big plans for the shop, and I am so excited to come back and see what it's
(going to) become. Not only are they planning on supporting
local artists and businesses, but also they're going to be heavily
community based... and have a feeling it's going to be pretty great.
My little white snake aconite is now the shop snake,
and they have a shop cat; this is Calypso.
The cutest thing you've ever seen.
And of course, I had to go on one last trail hike
with this handsome man.
And early next morning I headed down to
Southern California to stop by and make a business trip,
where I would be helping The Witches Box with their September subscription box.
The owner, Elena and her partner were so kind and so wonderful as my hosts.
And here's a little behind the scenes on what went on in the workshop.
All the herbs, the tea blending and even the staging of the beautiful photos
that you see on social media.
Personally, this part is one of my favorites.
Olivia: It's like nice and buttery smooth and looks so pretty when I''m zoomed in -
and then like when I come out it's just... Elena: No, it's a disaster. It's all a lie.
Elena: These are the illusions we create every day.
Olivia: I'm still in California, I drove a little
south for a pit stop. Some of you may not know,
but I am not only sponsored by The Witches Box but I work with them as well,
so if you didn't know, um and I''m helping them on the September box
So I stopped by to help package and make
product, and things like that. I'm really excited
for this box, but no spoilers yet! And...
yeah, the hosts that I have, the owner of The Witch's Box and her partner are
so nice. They are so nice! Like hospitality just...
to the maximum, ridiculously friendly, and I feel like I've already known them
for like two years so,
I'm out here like this is... so pretty and there's so much wildlife
out here and it reminds me a lot of Colorado.
So it's a good transition from LA to Colorado it was a good pit stop.
THIS is my office right now - kind of not not RIGHT here, but like...
This is so pretty and it's so quiet compared to Los Angeles.
Yeah. Not too shabby.
Right back here - they're just kind of like all over the place...
just like sleeping on-
oh my god this is so cute it's just a medal full of sleepy bumblebees!
And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just like making this cute and it's actually not
that cute and it's like some other thing that they're doing but please
don't take this away from me. These are sleeping bubble bees in a meadow.
This is like the only dream that I've ever had.
There's two sleepy bumblebees in a meadow.
They're sleeping! My god -sir!
Ma'am! You need to be sleeping not pollinating.
Okay there's one there, and there and there see if we can get it
closer... oh my god you're so cute.
Oh my god and then there's like a whole little-
look at all them! They're so tired had a long day at work.
They're just sleepy little bees. Oh no. Oh no.
VO: So one of the last nights we hung out and I got my astrology chart read, and I
learned a lot from the wonderful Heidi.
I had one last morning walk and I headed back to Colorado
Olivia: All right, it's almost done!
Got all my stuff hung up.
This is gonna be way better than the last time I had my room in here.
Got some of my books... some more of my books... some more of my books...
...and more of my books. And then I'm pretty sure - yes there's
some over there in it also. So then I've set up my-
-this was the first thing that I set up, of course, all I have to do is put the
pole up. So it used to be there and then I'm
going to change that out with some other kind of light because
Just picked up the mail and Alex sent me a birthday present so,
we're gonna FaceTime him and see what he sent me!
It finally came!
Okay.
Yeah!
AWW! Did you print this photo of Geeko?
You sent me this empty bag of chips?! Are you serious?!
All right I'm opening your thingy.
Yeah, did you tie it?
Oh.
It's just like things wrapped in another thing.
Oh my god! What the F*ck! Alex, these are like, really expensive!
You got me a Hekate statue!?
You're the sweetest!!!
No, it's perfect size.
These are like... eighty dollars, because I was looking - I know!
Is this note gonna make me cry?
So cute!! Oh no! OH there's toe beans! Oh, babies.
VO: So, Alex actually ended up coming out and visiting me for my birthday.
It was really great to see him even though it was only a few days,
and my dad decided to adopt two kittens.
I'd like you to meet Demetri, and Zuko.
Olivia: Oooohh stretchhh
VO: It was a long month, but September looks promising.
I'll see you in the next one(:
