Back in the South Bay, CA and it feels good. #JoysTravelAdventures

By Joy A. Kennelly

Now that I'm back in the South Bay, I'm discovering new restaurants have popped up while I've been living in Texas these past two years. I'm obsessed with Tommy & Atticus bakery in Redondo Beach and apparently I'm not the only one. I loved the veggie sandwich I had the other day, but when I attempted to buy another at 1pm, they were sold out! Then, when I arrived at 11am the next day to make sure I got one, there was a long line! I think everyone else agrees this is a bakery you don't want to miss.

I bought one pastry and the meat sandwich for variety sake. The sandwich was so filling I had it for lunch and dinner. The bread is so yummy I can see why people stock up and are willing to spend $48 a pop on bread and other goodies here. 

In other news, I've recently launched a travel newsletter for Joy's Travel Adventures on Substack which you can subscribe to for travel information you may not hear about elsewhere. https://joystraveladventures.substack.com/

I plan to cover a domestic, international and Caribbean destination, a travel app and travel product highlights of my The Joy Writer Studio Etsy store in each issue.

Lastly, when I lived in Austin, TX I used to cook for my apartment complex on a weekly basis. I have to wonder if there's people here who might enjoy a home-cooked meal at a reasonable price too? 

In any case, I really enjoyed it and miss cooking for people. I started this side hustle because I would cook up large meals and then shared it with my landlady who encouraged me to offer it to our community. It was great fun so maybe down the road I'll do it again. We'll see.

As I search for full-time and part-time work in digital marketing, copywriting and personal assisting work to supplement my income, I'm enjoying designing travel for clients, designing products for my Etsy store until I have more work demands. I'm interested in personal assistant work because I enjoy organizing people and managing administrative work. Know anyone looking? Send them my way!:) I'm very versatile and work well with entrepreneurs because I am one too.
