About
hoopLA is an informational, lifestyle blog specializing in the best things to do in Los Angeles: events, art, food, fitness, health, beauty, fashion trends, travel, and hidden favorites. hoopLA digs a little deeper to provide Angelenos with great things to do each week.
Ariel Johns (Owner/Editor)
As the owner of hoopLA, fitness, food, fun, and travel are four things that Ariel Johns is highly passionate about. When she’s not writing or blogging, she is an actress/screenwriter, who loves to discover all the hidden gems that our world has to offer. This self-proclaimed nerd is a lover of horror/sci-fi/action movies, true crime shows, and the Philadelphia Eagles. You can usually find her flowing on her yoga mat or on a roller coaster taking full advantage of her Six Flags Season Pass.
Whitney Eshleman (Guest Blogger)
I founded hoopLA in 2010 to bring my passion for the arts, travel, happy hour, and fashion to life. After meeting my husband, I’m no longer in LA and have relocated to Raleigh, NC. I will miss you all, but you are in good hands with my dear friend and new owner of hoopLA, Ariel. I may be gone from LA, but you’ll see me pop up here and there as a guest blogger.
E-Kan Soong (Guest Blogger)
(pronounced “e-con”, and yes, he was an Econ major) loves all the things LA has to offer and is currently on a never ending search for the best taco. He also is an actor and director- check out his new web series Born Losers for a laugh.
