When Halle Bailey<\/a> moved from Georgia to Los Angeles as a wide-eyed preteen nearly 15 years ago, the city felt like a wonderland of possibility. <\/p>\n \u201cBeing from the South, when you first come to L.A., you\u2019re like, \u2018Hollywood. Wow. This is where all the celebrities are,\u2019\u201d says the Grammy-nominated singer and actress. At any moment, she thought she might cross paths with Halle Berry \u2014 the similarly named actress she\u2019s often mistaken for<\/a> \u2014 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. <\/p>\n In Sunday Funday, L.A. people give us a play-by-play of their ideal Sunday around town. Find ideas and inspiration on where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on the weekends.<\/p>\n But after living in the city for a while, Bailey, now 26, says she realized L.A. is made up of all sorts of different pockets \u2014 ones \u201cwhere people are really Hollywood, bougie\u201d and others \u201cwhere people are chill, like hippies,\u201d she says. Her favorite neighborhoods are Silver Lake, Venice and \u201cplaces where people are just like, yeah, one love,\u201d she says, laughing.<\/p>\n These days, Bailey is one of the celebrities people would be thrilled to see strolling down Hollywood Boulevard. She\u2019s built a career that bridges music, TV and film: By 13, she and her sister Chloe Bailey \u2014 together known as Chloe x Halle \u2014 had signed to Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s label; she\u2019s earned six Grammy nominations (including one for her debut solo album released last fall); and she played young Nettie in \u201cThe Color Purple\u201d and starred as Ariel in Disney\u2019s live-action \u201cThe Little Mermaid,\u201d a blockbuster role she\u2019s recently been reflecting on<\/a>. <\/p>\n Bailey\u2019s next venture? Starring in her first romantic comedy, Universal\u2019s \u201cYou, Me & Tuscany,\u201d which hits theaters April 10. She plays Anna, a young woman who impulsively crashes at a empty Italian villa by pretending to be the owner\u2019s fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n \u201cIt felt good to play a young woman who was grown, but still discovering herself,\u201d she says. \u201cI felt like I was playing the essence of the Halle who is finding herself now.\u201d<\/p>\n On her perfect Sunday in L.A., Bailey would have a day of fun with her 2-year-old son, Halo. Here\u2019s what they\u2019d do. <\/p>\n This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for length and clarity.<\/p>\n 7:30 a.m.: Wake up and jump into mommy duties <\/p>\n I love mornings. I leave my curtains open while I sleep because I like when the sun wakes me up. We all doomscroll, which is kind of bad to say, but the first thing I check is my phone. Then I have mommy duties right at 8 a.m. Sometimes before [Halo] wakes up, I get a chance to do some things for myself like go outside and sit in the sun for some meditation or stretching. I don\u2019t get to do it every day, but I try. Or I\u2019ll make some tea or a smoothie and just have a moment of gratitude for waking up that day. <\/p>\n 8:30 a.m.: Crank up the music <\/p>\n Once Halo is up, we do breakfast right away. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m super into boiled eggs right now [laughs]. But I love a boiled egg in the morning with either avocado or hash browns. My baby loves hash browns too. I try to make a balanced breakfast and then from there it\u2019s kind of party time. <\/p>\n We\u2019ve been blasting the new Jill Scott album and it\u2019s really cool how the music you play in your house can just change the mood, the vibe and bring good energy into the space that you\u2019re in. And on a Sunday, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just because of the way I was raised, but automatically I think, \u201cOK, I need to straighten up for the week. I need to get the house reset.\u201d So maybe I\u2019m cleaning up the kitchen or organizing toys, or making sure the bathroom is straight, or washing clothes while the music is blasting and we\u2019re dancing around, having fun.<\/p>\n 12 p.m.: Solo time while the baby naps <\/p>\n I\u2019ll take a lunch break. If I\u2019m in the cooking mood, I love making comfort food like chicken and rice with cabbage and mac and cheese. Something that is just warm and comfy. If I\u2019m not doing that, I\u2019m ordering Wing Stop<\/a> or Chipotle<\/a>. I would chill outside for a while until my son\u2019s nap time, which is around 12:30 p.m. He\u2019ll sleep until like 3:30 p.m., so then I have two hours to myself and sometimes I do nothing. Sometimes I just need to sit down and I\u2019ll be on my phone on TikTok or I\u2019ll watch a show. I recently binged the new \u201cLove is Blind\u201d season. I also started watching \u201cReal Housewives\u201d again, but, like, the beginning seasons. I really love the show \u201cMy Strange Addiction.\u201d It\u2019s just so hilarious to me. Those are some guilt-free shows that I turn on and my brain can turn off.<\/p>\n I might even go into the studio if I\u2019m hearing a melody in my head or pick up my guitar. Sometimes I might take a nap too, and that feels really good on a Sunday. <\/p>\n 4 p.m.: Go on an easy sunset hike<\/p>\n If I feel up for leaving the house, we\u2019ll go for a walk, to the park or maybe even a sunset hike. I\u2019ve always been a nature girl and I feel like it just grounds me, and I\u2019m able to center myself, especially for the start of a new week. There\u2019s a lot of really beautiful hikes in California, but I\u2019ve found ones that are easy and safe to take a baby on so I\u2019m not stressing if he\u2019s running ahead of me or behind me. On a Sunday, you just want to rest, so you\u2019re not trying to do a full-blown workout. Sometimes we\u2019ll get halfway through and then we\u2019ll turn back and go home [laughs]. <\/p>\n Near Studio City, there\u2019s a really good one called Fryman [Canyon]<\/a>. It\u2019s hard in the beginning, but as you get higher it gets easier and you see the view, and you\u2019re just like, \u201cI can do this.\u201d We recently went to Point Dume<\/a>, which I had never been to, but I saw the view on TikTok. It\u2019s a really beautiful beach hike in Malibu and I love it there. The hike up is super easy, but there\u2019s a field of flowers that you walk through to get to the viewpoint where everyone takes pictures overlooking the beach.<\/p>\n 6:30 p.m.: Bath time<\/p>\n I love a bubble bath. If my son is with me that night, we do a whole fun toys in the bath type of vibe. But if it\u2019s a solo night, it\u2019s like candles, lavender bubbles, lights are dim, jazz music is playing in the background, like Billie Holiday, and that is the ultimate reset. <\/p>\n 7:30 p.m.: Dinner and a show<\/p>\n If I have a sitter, I might go out to dinner. I like Lucia<\/a>, which is a Caribbean restaurant in Hollywood. I think the first time I went, they had a really good oxtail mac and cheese. When I went back the menu had changed and I ordered the jerk chicken, which was also good. Also, I\u2019ve been loving the Blue Note<\/a> recently. I saw Esperanza Spalding there last year. <\/p>\n 10 p.m.: Watch something low-stakes before bed<\/p>\n Sometimes I try to force myself to turn off all screens, all phones and go to bed because I need the sleep. It\u2019s either that or I\u2019m up watching something. I just really like watching things that make me feel like I can laugh and I don\u2019t have to think about it. I get really emotionally invested in shows. If I try to watch \u201cThe Pitt\u201d at the end of the day, it feels so emotionally exhausting. During the day is OK, but at nighttime, I just need to laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Halle Bailey moved from Georgia to Los Angeles as a wide-eyed preteen nearly 15 years ago, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[114861,20977,114863,114860,217,9166,114859,46955,114862,1743,2303,48,52,51,47,50,49,7755,224,592,1860],"class_list":{"0":"post-260973","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-2-year-old-son","9":"tag-baby","10":"tag-beautiful-hike","11":"tag-bridge-music","12":"tag-day","13":"tag-good-sunday","14":"tag-halle-bailey","15":"tag-halle-berry","16":"tag-halo","17":"tag-hollywood","18":"tag-l-a","19":"tag-la","20":"tag-la-headlines","21":"tag-la-news","22":"tag-los-angeles","23":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","24":"tag-los-angeles-news","25":"tag-one","26":"tag-p-m","27":"tag-people","28":"tag-show"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Sunday](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768564629_350_.png\")
