Haps In Los Angeles 🎉 Kicking Off 2025!


Hello Los Angeles neighbors,

Happy New Year! 🎆 Thank you for signing up for Haps In LA! We’re kicking off 2025 with our first Happy Hour next week at Negroni—I hope to see you there! 🍹 I’d love to hear your suggestions and any upcoming events you'd like to share. Feel free to forward this to friends who might want to join the fun!

Let’s sharpen our axes for 2025 by embracing the principles of Buy Back Your Time—focusing on minor, intentional improvements that free up your energy and time. Now is the perfect moment to start investing in what truly matters.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started." – Mark Twain

🎉 Events for January 2025

Nervous System Alchemy: Yoga, Breathwork, and Sound

My good friend Dr. Leslie Carr is hosting a wellness series with yoga, breathwork, and sound healing to restore your nervous system. Members of Haps get 50% off the session with promo code HAPPY. Don’t miss this chance to recharge—bring a journal for insights!

Enchanted: Forest of Light at Descanso Gardens

Lose yourself in magical lights and interactive art installations. Perfect for photos that make your social feed sparkle.

Tip: Layer up—it's colder than you think after sundown.

Breakfast with The Beatles at Hard Rock Cafe

Start your Sunday with Beatles classics, pancakes, and nostalgia.

🍴 New Restaurants to Try

Helms Bakery

Classic pastries with a modern twist—because carbs don't count in January, right? Oh, and easy parking. My new favorite spot is in Culver City.

Zaytinya

Chef José Andrés brings Mediterranean flavors to Culver City. Don't forget to order the mezze platter!

📈 Real Estate Market Update:

The LA housing market begins the year strong. While many buyers are waiting for mortgage rates to drop to 5.5%, this approach could cost more in the long run. Waiting means missing out on home appreciation, delaying lifestyle upgrades, and potentially facing higher future prices as demand surges when rates drop. Let's create a strategy that works for you now. Stay connected on Instagram.

💭 Just a Thought

Did you know Americans spend 70% less time with friends than a decade ago? This year, let’s swap screen time for real-time connections—dinners, game nights, and moments that matter. My friends and I started a Monday Dinner Club, and it’s been an anchor for bringing us together and leveling up our cooking game.

💡 Quick Tip for 2025

Prioritize your mornings by creating a daily routine that sets the tone for productivity—journaling, stretching, or sipping coffee while planning your day.

👉 Ready to kickstart your goals? Could you reply to this email, and let's chat?

Here's to a year filled with health, happiness, and a successful resolution.

Hello, Share Haps with a friend! I've been listening to 📖 Get Rich by Dennis Felix; it's a fun listen from a very wild, highly successful British entrepreneur. He doesn't mince words; it's a complex process, and most people fail. But it's fun and has lots of humor. One idea that I've been thinking about is that business is a game; play hard, but don't get too caught up in it. 🏡 LA Real Estate Trend: Spring is approaching, and we're seeing more listings hit the market as interest rates remain...

Hey there, I've been reading 📖 The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday, and it's been a game-changer. The idea that setbacks aren't roadblocks but stepping stones? That hit home. It's made me rethink challenges—whether in real estate, life, or even getting stuck in LA traffic. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. 🏡 LA Real Estate Trend: Sellers adjust prices, and buyers who move now can lock in great deals before the spring market heats up.
