Alicia Garcia is an LA native who likes to get her hands dirty... but don't be fooled... this girl still gets down on some mani/pedi action.

SO a little back story. I was born & raised in LA. My mother thought it fit for my brother and I to be surrounded by rolling hills and nature for our upbringing, so at the age of two, my family and I moved to Lebec, California.
I strutted around commando style beneath my OSH GOSH overalls, chasing peacocks, playing with chicks in the hen house, and constructing scarecrows.
Necessity is the mother of ingenuity and I got pretty creative when it came to constructing forts with found materials.
It was pretty rad.
By the age of ten, I migrated back to the city... BLAH. Starless skies. Traffic. Egos.
I have had a love/hate relationship with this city. I complain about it to fellow natives and boast about it to the “outsiders.”
I am an urban naturalist. I love the outdoors. I love alleyways.
I love Michael Kors. I love John Deere.
After working in the film industry for 8 years I decided to get back to my roots...
Currently I work for
