Lights, Camera… Happiness!
Calm, Cool, Classy… F*ck The Rest By Lauren Harper Despite my extended absence from writing, I am back, far from six feet under and here to stay. I try to keep up with all the horoscope explanations and planetary reasoning as to why things are happening, not happening, should be happening, want to be happening [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness
“Into the Wild” By Lauren Harper It isn’t everyday that I peruse Twitter and come across a breaking news update via CNN that there has been a grizzly bear mauling in Alaska. It isn’t everyday that I can relate to and have experienced the news update first-hand. After reading the articles released Sunday surrounding the [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness
Vision Board, Part II Destination: the Future By Lauren Harper Peruse, choose, cut, place, and tape. Repeat. Peruse, choose, cut… The moment I started my vision board, I found myself in an Edward Scissorhands-esque daze. Armed with my own shiny scissors, I hunted down pictures and words that popped out at me. I ripped out [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness
Destination? The Future. By Lauren Harper Currently I’m staring at a pile of magazines. The only other time I stare at a pile of publications is when they’re stacked on my lap while sitting on an airplane. After I find my seat, I immediately begin to dread take-off. Following this moment, I proceed to fasten [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness!
“YES, and…” By Lauren Harper Your life will get a lot easier starting… now! Well, okay maybe not right THIS second but continue to read on and it’s guaranteed. Pinky swear! I actually don’t “pinky swear” but usually people who pinky swear mean business, and I mean business. Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the [...]

Welcome to the Jungle By Lauren Harper Honesty is always the best policy. Well sometimes… but from what I’ve learned and experienced in Los Angeles thus far, it ain’t the case the majority of the time. The fascinating fact is many people don’t want honesty and are much happier being told a blatant lie. Of [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness!
Just “Shoot” Me By Lauren Harper Headshots. This word was totally exciting when I moved to LA and now it makes me crack my knuckles out of frustration. I know the majority of you are not actors but I know you’ve had your photo taken at least once in your life, if not a few [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness
Instant Gratification By Lauren Harper You know when you’re told: “Hey man, that’s wet paint, I wouldn’t touch that if I were you,” or “Ew! That tastes god awful, I wouldn’t try it,” or don’t we all love this classic: “I wouldn’t do that if I were you?” You know what I mean… Now think [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness
Hocus Pocus By Lauren Harper What is it about psychics that intrigue us? I mean, seriously, is it the list of services (aura cleansing… huh?) or the tacky displays of candles, crystals, and other mystical objects that smell or look good? Perhaps the flickering neon sign dangling from the window? The need to have a [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness
Get Off Of My Cloud! By Lauren Harper Mick Jagger preached it well, “Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.” Sure the lyrics can be taken literally or have a cool secret rock n roll meaning like, “don’t mooch off of my drug pile or get away from my groupies.” I like to think that [...]
Lights, Camera… Happiness by Lauren Harper
When Life Hands You Lemons… In a world surrounded by it’s own little world (Hollywood!), it’s hard to spot the happy people from the unhappy people.
