Horsing Around In L.A. by Erin Miller

Horsing Around In L.A. by Erin Miller A lifestyle blog focusing on Entertainment, Travel, Food, Wine, Movies, Disney, Horses & More. My name is Erin & I was born and raised in Southern California.

Horse crazy since a little girl, I've had a lifelong passion for horses and all animals. It has been my dream to have horses someday, but lessons, leasing and showing here and there have had to do as having horses in the city isn’t easy (or cheap) to be able to do! Besides horses, I have a gazillion other interests and hobbies as well; including traveling, photography, running in 5k’s- 1/2 maratho

ns, going to Disneyland, supporting charity events and other amazing non-profit organizations, going to Angel’s games, sports in general (especially HOCKEY!!), finding and trying out tea salons and other tasty places, WINE tastings, meetups, finding odd jobs, tutoring, enjoying the beach & river with friends and family. The list goes on and on and I cannot wait to share it all with you. I hope you enjoy my adventures and will go on some of your own in LA and in the OC in beautiful SoCal!!

🌴🍍 Is anyone else dreaming of a tropical vacation right about now?

Because between the summer heat and what feels like my 47th dentist appointment trying to finally get my wisdom teeth dealt with, I am officially in need of a tropical escape. 😅

Since hopping on a plane isn't exactly in the cards today, I decided to bring the island vibes home with this Frozen Pineapple Mango Paradise Drink made with fresh pineapple and mango Melissa's Produce. Served inside a fresh pineapple and topped with edible flowers, it's basically the closest thing to a beach vacation you can make in four minutes. 🌺☀️

The best part? There's a version for everyone! 🍹 Adults can enjoy the frozen tropical cocktail version, while kids (and anyone skipping the alcohol) can sip on the refreshing mocktail version. Either way, you're getting all the sweet tropical flavors of pineapple and mango in one frosty, vacation-worthy treat.

Bonus points if you serve it in a pineapple because everything tastes better when it feels like you're on island time. 😎🍍

If you could sip one of these anywhere in the world, where would it be? 🌴✈️

This one’s for the those who almost gave up.
The ones who cried in the truck before their run.
The ones carrying heartbreak, burnout, anxiety, pressure, bills, self doubt. And you still showed up anyway.

Because sometimes life feels a whole lot like barrel racing.
You clip a barrel.
You lose your rhythm.
You have moments that humble you so hard you wonder if you even belong in the arena anymore.

But you put in the work. You keep going. Then one day, you come back stronger.

More focused. More fearless.

And every setback that tried to break you becomes part of the reason you finally make a clean run.

So this is for the people getting out of bed when it feels impossible.

For the creators pouring their hearts into content nobody sees yet.

For the dreamers working quietly behind the scenes.

For the riders who keep entering after the knockdowns.

Keep going.

The barrels won’t fall forever. 🤍🏇

✨️Collect memories. Not things.✨️

Where will you be making memories this summer?

Mentally? I’m still standing at Rainbow Falls soaking in the sunshine with this song stuck in my head, listening to the water crash down, and pretending responsibilities don’t exist for five more minutes. ☀️🌈💦

Instead, reality this week looks like dental appointments, more dental work, mentally preparing myself to get my last two wisdom teeth removed next month and watching my bank account slowly evaporate from how ridiculously expensive all of this is. 🙃💸

If I seem a little checked out lately… that’s probably why.

It’s wild how badly we all need those little moments in nature sometimes. The fresh air, the views, the quiet, they reset parts of you that stress, exhaustion, and life slowly wear down. And honestly? I wish I could bottle up this feeling from Rainbow Falls and carry it into this week with me.

Trying to remind myself that hard weeks don’t last forever. Even if the dentist chair and the bill afterward, feels like it might. 😂

Anyone else mentally somewhere far away from reality right now? ⬇️
