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!!

ad🍓✨ Summer never looked so GOOD! ✨🍓

I stopped by the Eastvale Nékter Juice Bar location recently and let's just say, Nékter's Summer Strawberry Trio is bringing all the berry bliss this summer! Available for a limited time, these seasonal treats are fresh, refreshing, and perfect for cooling off during a Southern California heatwave. ☀️

We had the chance to try 2 of the 3 limited-time Summer Strawberry Trio items:
🍓 Strawberry Cloud Smoothie
🍓 Shortcake Bowl

And we also enjoyed:
🧇 Berry Shortcake Protein Waffles
🥣 Build Your Own Parfait
🥬 The Greenie Pressed Juice

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, light, and actually lived up to the hype. The Strawberry Cloud Smoothie was creamy, refreshing, and packed with summer flavor, while the Shortcake Bowl was the perfect combination of fruity, sweet, and satisfying.

One thing I love about Nékter is that everything is made with real ingredients and no added sugar, making it easy to enjoy something delicious while still feeling good about your choices. They also have plenty of convenient grab-and-go options for busy days when you need something fresh on the run.

Whether you're grabbing a supercharged smoothie on your way to the gym, building your own parfait for breakfast, picking up a healthy snack, or treating yourself to an açai bowl for lunch, Nékter serves up bold, innovative blends that fuel your day with simplicity and authenticity.

I visited the Eastvale location, but there are plenty of Nékter Juice Bar locations throughout Southern California, including Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Yucaipa, Riverside, Temecula, Menifee, and many more.

Now the real question: Which would you order first—the Strawberry Cloud Smoothie 🍓 or the Shortcake Bowl? 😋👇

ad🐾❤️ Some of the best decisions I've ever made have involved animals.

Growing up, I was always the kid trying to help stray animals, find their owners, or help them find loving homes when no owner could be found. I can't imagine life without the unconditional love, companionship, and joy that pets bring.

Gucci has been there for adventures, lazy days, celebrations, and everything in between. She's family. And every animal deserves the chance to experience that same love and security in a forever home.

That's why I'm excited to help spread the word about spcaLA 20th Annual Pet Adoption Day. This incredible one-day event has already helped more than 5,000 animals find loving homes over the years, and they're hoping to help even more pets find their families this year.

🐾 Pet Adoption Day
📅 Saturday, June 27
⏰ 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 spcaLA Long Beach
7700 E Spring St

❤️ Fee-waived adoptions for qualified adopters

If you've been thinking about adding a furry family member to your home, this is the perfect opportunity. You may just meet your new best buddy.

Tell me below: Did you adopt your pet? Or are you looking to adopt? I'd love to hear your rescue and adoption stories. 🐶🐱❤️

💦🐺 Summer is officially underway and we just used our Great Wolf Lodge Season Pass for the first time!

One of the things I love about Great Wolf Lodge is that it feels like a mini getaway without having to leave Southern California. We spent the entire day splashing around in the indoor water park, the outdoor pool area, racing down waterslides, floating the lazy river, and making memories together.

If you're planning multiple visits this summer, the Season Pass can be a great value. Season Passes for the Anaheim location are $130 for a Weekday Season Pass, while Anytime Season Passes are $500 and include access throughout the season.

This visit was all about the water park, but next time we're already planning to explore more of the resort and take advantage of all the other family-friendly activities Great Wolf Lodge has to offer. 🐾

Between the slides, wave pool, lazy river, and all the splashes in between, I'd say our first visit of the summer was a success! 💙

If you could spend the day at Great Wolf Lodge, what's the first attraction you're heading to: waterslides, lazy river, or wave pool? 🐺💦

🌴🍍 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. 🤍🏇
