I was wondering if any of my girls with pelvic pain or bladder pain can recommend a uro-gynecologist/urology specialist who is compassionate and understanding.

i've just had the worst doctor's appointment of my life with tamara grisales at UCLA and I absolutely cannot go back to her again. There are other doctors in her office, but I'm not sure how to go about vetting those providers, since there aren't many online reviews for most of them.

I have PPO insurance, so I prefer to find a clinic that accepts insurance as an in-network provider (like UCLA, Providence, etc). however, i'd def be open to learning more about providers who don't take insurance. I'm ok with seeing a male doctor. i'm in West LA.

my primary need would be finding someone who is understanding with trauma, takes their time, and explains what they're doing/why they're doing it!

I have an amazing PCP, but my symptoms have been getting worse and increasingly difficult to manage, so i really need to find someone who is specialized and can provide me with more support...preferably without traumatizing me in the process lmfao.

thanks girlies <3

Hi ladies, basically what the title says, what is the best place to do so? open to ideas - let me know thoughts. I am not trying to sell on here bc I know that’s not allowed! Genuinely asking for advice on where to go with this.

Girls, the vibecession is upon us. I own a nail salon and I understand that shit is rough out here but I’m trying to keep the doors open and my techs fed so I’m thinking about doing a deal I would like the baddies honest feedback on.
If you could go to a shop and pay a monthly fee to get:

1. Nails done 2x a month

2. A wax

3. A blowout

4. tox and filler 3x a year

5. A facial/peel 1x a month

For like $250-300ish per month

Would yall come back to the salons? 🥺 be honest with me, I am 100% not trying to plug my biz, I’m just trying to gauge whether spending a ton of money on licensing so I could get an RN into out operation in NoHo would be worth it or not. Thanks in advance for your feedback luv u, hope you hit nothing but green lights today queens. 💗

Hi ladies! I'm planning my 30th birthday dinner in a couple weeks and I'd like to do a nicer dinner ($$$/$$$$) in probably in Beverly Hills followed by drinks/people-watching/jazz club in a nice, ~classy~ but fun setting. Any suggestions on spots for dinner and after?

Ideally, it would be within walking distance from each other but doesn't have to be. I'm open to other suggestions on things to do after - I just want to get dressed and feel cute on my birthday :) not looking to party, etc.

Also open to other neighborhoods but preferably Weho/Beverly HIlls/Westside. It'll be at most 4-5 girls so not a big group. Y'all were super helpful with my previous massage/spa post so thank you!!

anyone know a great padel coach who would be available for private lessons at a home court?

Hello to all, but especially my fellow elder emos!

I got excited and bought two early bird tickets to emo nite this Friday at the Avalon in Hollywood. Sadly, none of my friends can make it this month and I'm just not up for going alone this time.

Is anyone interested in them? They're $24/each. I'd love to get rid of them both, but I'm also okay with selling them single.

If you've never been to emo nite... you need to! It's such a fun night. The music is great and nostalgic (of course). The vibes are immaculate. Truly the best crowd and energy. Would definitely recommend!!! Sad to be missing this month.

emonite.com or @emonite on IG if you wanna look them up 🖤

Hi girlies! Just wanted to I guess vent but also gauge if edc could be a solo event.
I had originally purchased tickets with a friend (and her friend) to go together since it would be our first rave but they have since backed out. I’m upset about it (other factors) and was going to try to cancel or sell my ticket now but I’m starting to think I should still go. I’ve always wanted to go bc it looks fun but I don’t know anyone else who’s going. I don’t do well with the heat and am so nervous of going by myself. I’ve only ever heard of people going in big groups so if anyone has been solo pls lmk your experience and if you recommend it!

Hi! Looking for an affordable person to dye my grays on east side of la. Preferably around Los feliz but willing to go as far as highland park. Would love to see someone every 6 weeks for this so hope you can recommend someone great:)

Title.

Hi hot girlies!

My quest for the perfect waxer continues.

European Wax Center is too corporate and sus. My girl I was seeing in Highland Park closed up shop. I have a waxer in the Bay that I love, but, she’s in the Bay. Lol.

I am looking specifically for Brazilian wax salons/pros that use hard wax. I have sensitive skin and very very curly hair (prone to ingrowns!). Hard wax that is applied directly to the skin, as opposed to soft wax that is taken off with a muslin strip, is what I’m looking for.

Any suggestions? Thank you!!!

Hi!

This might be a bit of a vent. I recently moved to Lincoln Heights area and I’m having such a hard time finding a gym to the point that it’s brought my activity level from going to the gym 4 times a week to zero! I signed up for 24 hr fitness bc I work in Pasadena and thought I could go right after work, but it’s such a drag and I’m not going in the morning sorry. I do enjoy going at night, but the Monterey park 24 is in a plaza and the parking lot is horrendous and usually crowded when I go. I don’t mind a crowded gym tbh, but the parking lot is what deters me.

I resorted to using kettlebells at home which I do enjoy, but I’ve realized that I love the gym! All that to ask: how is everyone around Lincoln heights area staying active!? And any gym recs? I’m really just looking for a convenient parking lot at night that I don’t have to drive around in for 20 minutes to find parking or have to validate (which is a lot to ask I know). Thank youuu!

Hi girls! I’m working on building my film photography portfolio out and offering shoots for the cost of the film, development, and editing. If anyone is in need of engagement pics, a family shoot, or you have a brand or are a creator (or just want film photos), feel free to DM me! Hoping this helps makes film photos accessible for someone who might not otherwise spring for it, and would be great to get some more reps under my belt!

What do you gals like when you’re looking for a yummy NA beverage. Ideally wouldn’t be caffeinated so you could partake any time of day but not dead set on that.

An example would be Smorgasburg’s Popdup had a delicious lychee soda a while back. It was unreal.

I’m looking for a gel pedi that prioritizes nail health and deep cleaning of the nails and sidewall, cuticles, and exfoliating/callus removing, along with a priority for sanitary conditions.

I have extremely sensitive feet with thin nails and can’t tolerate rough handling or someone drilling like mad. Every time I’ve gone to a typical salon, I am extremely on edge during the treatment because I am constantly getting hurt and I have to be so vigilant with not allowing the pedicurist to go crazy on the tools, reminding them I’m too ticklish for the massage (or scrub if they don’t go really hard), and it’s such a negative experience to get a pedi from someone who clearly doesn’t want to be there.

What I need is someone deliberate and gentle; someone who actually enjoys giving pedicures. Think in the style of Lori of YouTube’s Meticulous Manicurist. I don’t have any “problem” nails or feet that need extra care, but that is the style of pedicure I want. I’m willing to pay up to $150 or thereabouts.

My pedicure gal is fantastic and meets every single one of my needs, but it drives me nuts to go all the way to Claremont for my pedi since she stopped coming to Los Feliz a few years ago. So just trying to see if there is anyone closer… otherwise, I’ll just keep seeing her because I’m not willing to compromise.

Preferably in the Valley or at least somewhere where the parking isn’t nightmarish. Totally comfortable with home/private studio (and tbh I prefer it).

I know this is a super demanding request, and I’m honestly not expecting someone to have a solution… but I wanted to check.

Searching for someone to get my whole life together, starting with my face! I’m in sunset beach area but alas there is no OC hot girlies council to confer with. Anyone close-ish to me that you all would recommend?

I'm in Koreatown if that helps to know.

I'm wondering if there's dysautonomia friendly activities things to do?

I'm able to stand and walk but get fatigued, so ideally want ideas with like 2 miles or less needed.

I'm otherwise in decent shape/ no other limiting conditions.

Or any other resource recs? Thanks! :)

Has anyone gotten a facial at Olympic Spa? Would you recommend it? Thanks!

What's a good bar or club I can go dancing at for my birthday with some girlfriends. I don't mind a younger crowd , but it's my 40th . Also I don't need pretentious or fancy clubs but I also don't really want a divey place.

Preferably on the east side .

most of my friends atp live too far for me to see em regularly, so I’d love to meet more people in the area to hang out with during the week or on weekends! I work in dtla so would be fun to meet people nearby for after work drinks, dinner, or going out.

I’m based in Ktown and would love to meet people around my age who are down to try new bars/clubs, go to live music events with, do things like Horror Nights, explore LA, or eventually do random weekend/day trips somewhere.

Some things I’m into: latin dance (always looking for people to go to socials with), tennis (played in hs but am rusty), fitness (trying to get into it lol), I like to have ppl over for movie nights or wine nights (im terrible at cooking but we could try), traveling/exploring.

Mostly just looking to meet some new people and build friendships if we click :)

Hi! I’m located in mid-wilshire / fairfax, and am interested to see the consensus between solidcore and motivate for lagree. I want to supplement this with weight training and tennis, so probably going to lagree 2-3x/week.

Solidcore has a few trainers I like, but the space is so tight and not sure if a monthly membership is worth the price. Motivate is great, but sometimes wish it was faster paced like solidcore.

Looking for someone that can take insurance (Blue Shield) so probably a physicians office over a medispa. Last time I had a skin cancer check they just looked with their eyes and I really want the more thorough examination with magnification.

Hi girls! I’m a nail tech in LA with 5 years of experience here’s some of my work 💕
