Wine bars are overrated

Weird invention of concept

Bad news, I can’t drink a drop of alcohol until Paris. I just got back from New York fashion week and I had to immediately continue to go out. So I have been partying completely sober for the past 2 days. Ask me how I feel about this — I do-not-not-like partying sober. It’s weird to not feel a mini tsunami in my head when I’m out, but also it feels like being kept warm in a womb

People in LA just wanna feel like they are in Europe, and I think that’s why wine bars are so popular. These establishments sell nature wine by the glass — with an American price tag ofc. Simple food menu, but they make that into a whole plating aesthetic so you feel chic to dine there. I have been to 2 good ones — Ètra, got me feeling refreshened with their persimmon white fish crudo, and e.l.f, really good green goddness salad, even tho normally I don’t like raw lettuce unless its endive

The jarring mismatch of what LA is as a city VS. what they are tryna achieve with these wine bars is the “issue.” But also who am I here to worry? Let them sit on the curb, breathing dust and listening to cars roaring by. I might need to join them for the purpose of socializing, but only with a lime flavored topo chico, ofc

Ugh, I need to execute this weird lifestyle change for the next 2 weeks and I can’t even think about letting myself having a glass of wine. I am extremely self-disciplined and I feel like doing this. It also feels fun and refreshing, I get bored easily.

Another MAJOR life style change that I made recently (and will be continue to do so) is that I started drinking real MILK. In the past I would only drink real milk when I am in Europe . Oat milk always tasted suss to me, even though it is kinda yummy. I can’t believe that I drunk oat milk every morning with my tea for years — meanwhile being so skeptical about it. Almond milk is bad for the environment because growing almond cost a lot of water. Other milks: hemp seed milk, macadamia milk, walnut milk, banana milk (lol), pistachio milk, soy milk — they just purely taste bad, alone or with my coffee/tea, and they are full of chemicals. Bad for health and it slows down our brain operation. Additionally, I think that we drink too much lattes. We don’t need these much milky stuff. Be sharp. So I have been drinking black coffee or small/tiny cappuccino. It’s a lot more modern, truly. I also been drinking water made from boiling walnut skin (the thin layer between the hard shell and the meat) — my mom said it will stop my hair from shedding, but guess what, I just hate water and I need my liquid to be flavored at all time

Tbh, leave nut milks and weird “milk” invention in 2016, real milk or no milk.
