GUYS, I GOT SOME FAN MAIL! (Actually, it was an email from a member of my mom's book club asking what hair products I use. Counting it as a win nonetheless). I decided to turn my response into a blog because I love talking hair. A new cut//color//style can give you a new lease on life, and also hair can't gain weight. Here's what I do with mine on a near-daily basis (sometimes I do nothing because I'm feeling like a garbage person, and sometimes I use tools I can burn myself with because I need to spend time in society.) But this is my easy//I-might interact-with-people look!View Article

HAPPY FRIDAY! It's raining here in L.A., giving me the joyful rush of adrenaline that most people feel when it's suns out/guns out time. I LOVE RAIN. With my see-through skin and sunscreen obsession, I probably belong in the pacific northwest, but alas, Hollywood isn't there and neither is my husband...View Article

Whenever people learn I work from home, they always tell me how lucky I am. And it's true: My kitchen table is usually my desk, unless I decide to make our deck my office for the day. My dogs are my co-workers and my husband is, technically, my unpaid intern who shoots the photos for this blog and makes me coffee. And most days, I would agree that I am the luckiest. But, because I am my own boss, I also have to hold myself accountable - not only to get work done, but also to take a shower, get dressed and generally look like a presentable human. Like a lot of writers, I have some hermit-like tendencies that my job allows me to indulge in, sometimes too much. If I'm being completely honest, many days my work uniform consists of whatever I wore to bed the night before, or whatever I worked out in (or put on in hopes of working out before getting distracted by a sale on Gilt, a never-ending To Do list and a pile of emails) because I am a gross garbage person...View Article

Happy Monday, guys! Today I'm sharing a post from my dear friend Jon DeWalt, who also happens to be a brilliant comedian and writer for NBC's "Undateable" (I think if you asked him what he does, though, he would probably say "Be a friend to Annie" first, which is why I ranked his titles in this order.) This piece originally appeared on his blog several months ago, but I wanted to share it as a follow-up to his wife and writing partner Allison Bosma's hilarious post on her audition from hell that appeared on Heels in the Hills last week. Jon's story is equally inspiring for all of us dreamers...View Article

Tomorrow, Runyon Canyon closes for 4 months. If you live outside of L.A., that means nothing to you. If you live in L.A., it means EVERYTHING. (Okay, maybe EVERYTHING only if you live in L.A. and are trying to become an actor/writer/director/producer/social media star... Which is everyone.) On any given day, you are guaranteed to see girls with zero body fat speed walking in crop tops and wedge sneakers, shredded shirtless dudes running lines for an audition while they sprint the hills, childless people with their dogs strapped onto them in Baby Bjorns, professional dog walkers with 10+ dogs and, if you're lucky, the lady who pushes her cat in a stroller. It's also pretty likely you will run into a celeb. In the decade I've lived in L.A., I've seen...View Article
