5 Simple Hacks to Reset Your Daily Routine in West Los Angeles

In West Los Angeles, the "Back to Routine" trend is about rebalancing busy lives between studios, traffic, and wellness.

1. Early Mornings Matter.

Start your day with a jog along Santa Monica Beach or a quick espresso at Galvin Coffee & Bakery on Montana Avenue, known for its Dulce de Leche Espresso and Basque Cheesecake.

2. Reclaim Workspace.

Melrose cafés are filled with laptops and planners. The newly opened Aviator on Melrose Avenue offers a unique flight-themed ambiance, perfect for creative work sessions.

3. Eat Clean, Prep Smart.

West LA is leaning into bowls, juices, and light meal prep from the Santa Monica Farmers Market. Incorporate fresh produce into your meals for a healthier routine.

Take midday breaks at Culver City parks or join a yoga session on the bluffs to re-center and recharge.

5. Calm Evenings.

From Brentwood rooftops to Venice porches, evenings are shifting to quiet resets—no screens, just sunsets. Enjoy a peaceful dinner at Tu Madre in Brentwood, known for its inventive tacos and margarita flights.

West LA shows routine can be glamorous but grounded.
