Down By The Waterside

June 14, 2016 by Luisa Lucia

In a recent post for Urban Darling I mentioned that I’d been planning a trip to Tulum earlier this year. Unfortunately, when I found out I was pregnant, the trip was pretty much nixed due to Zika. Plus we realized we could really stand to save the money. Although I didn’t get my fabulous tropical vacation, we did spend this past weekend down by the water. We spent one day exploring San Pedro, LA’s original port city, and another day visiting family in quaint Manhattan Beach. These pictures were snapped around the harbor in San Pedro. We stayed at the Double Tree right on the marina…it was very comfortable and picturesque.

I adore this lightweight tropical dress I spotted at H&M. I sized up from a 2 to a 4 and it will probably fit for the duration of the summer because it’s so loose and breezy. I styled this look with a vintage kukui nut lei from Hawaii – this necklace is wayyyy special to me because my grandmother got it on a trip to Hawaii back in the 60’s, and a few years ago (knowing how much I loved it) she gifted it to me! I’m also wearing my favorite gladiator sandals and beloved Prada sunglasses. After exploring the harbor, we grabbed dinner at this famed Italian restaurant in downtown San Pedro.

  Thanks Vanessa Xoxox

"I loved my Human Design reading with Luisa. I went in feeling lost and confused, not knowing how to navigate my feelings through situations and thinking I had to conform to others. Luisa dove into my literal creation, showing me the components by which I function, and intricately pinpointed the most aligned ways of being. I came out feeling lighter, connected, whole, and powerful, with a new-found knowledge and understanding about myself. And with the cheat sheet for a peaceful, more conscious life. I definitely recommend a Human Design reading from Luisa - she is so comforting and has such beautiful energy. Thank you Luisa!" -Rafi, 3/5 Generator

"I was drawn to Luisa's energy and felt safe to finally dip my toes into Human Design under her expertise and care! The reading was so comprehensive and fascinating. It was bafflingly affirming and helpful in deepening my own understanding of myself, life's challenges, and my overall path. I even booked a follow-up session to understand some of my relationships better according to Human Design. So grateful for Luisa's gifts and ability to make such deep information digestible for folks new to this modality." -Katrina, 6/2 Mani Gen

"If you are seeking support to understand more of your personal gifts and design, then Luisa is the go to. In the past I had an introduction to Human Design, but wasn’t really crazy about it... until I met Luisa about a year ago. When she began translating my design and explaining the most important elements, I was in awe of how knowledgeable she is. It just made sense. Which helped me to gain more understanding about myself and the way I am in the world, my strengths and challenges, and to let go of some blockages around fully accepting my gifts and power. Luisa is very intuitive, so passionate about her work, and so good at it. After the session with her you are left with tremendous clarity. Thank you Luisa for your guidance and insights. I would highly recommend her, as I always do, to all of my friends. She is amazing." -Gulnaz, 3/6 Projector

"My Human Design session with Luisa was one of the most eye opening experiences of my life. As a Reflector I'm unique, because Reflectors make up only 1% of the human population. When Luisa pulled my chart for the first time, we both knew that the knowledge she had to share was potentially life changing. Upon discovering the uniqueness of my design, I felt the most seen that I ever had in my life. Luisa opened up a whole new world of understanding myself and the way I interact with others. I felt like my whole life before Human Design suddenly made sense with the new knowledge I gained from this session. This is truly something that everyone should tap into if they can. Luisa’s healing space coupled with with the comprehensive exploration of my unique design was truly a life changing experience. It has pushed me to look more into my design and work with Luisa to figure out how I can live my life to its fullest potential." -Augusta, 4/1 Reflector
