We had the good fortune of connecting with Savannah Quinones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Savannah, how does your business help the community?
When I started Cute Little Spots, I really wanted to focus on helping local and small businesses in the Los Angeles and Orange County community. I love learning the stories behind their businesses, why they started, and what keeps them going. Working alongside local businesses has been one of my favorite aspects about my page! I hope my page continues to grow and is a platform to support local and small businesses in the community.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I often thought about what sets my page apart from others and I have not been able to quite figure out what it is but I do love that I stuck to my vision which was to just add music that I feel captures the atmosphere the best!

I’m proud that my page is becoming a platform to support local and small businesses. Having a goal that I know is supporting others helps to keep me motivated. When I began content creation I was very shy and I did not want to post because I was worried what others would think. I would remind myself that I’m doing this to help local and small businesses and that is what kept me going.

I definitely got to where I am today because of the love and support I have from my friends and family. They are the first to like, repost, share, and comment on my page. They go to the events I hosts and just truly support me.

When it was hard to believe in myself they were always there and I’m forever grateful. It was difficult getting out of my own head but I knew this was something I wanted to pursue and had to be uncomfortable at first to make it happen!

A lesson I learned is to celebrate each milestone because it’s all part of your growing journey! It’s easy to get caught up in the numbers, views, and followers but it’s important to remember that every win, little or small, is all part of the process!

The message I want to leave is to just support local and small businesses in any way you can! There are more ways than just financially supporting their business. A follow, sharing their posts, & going out to support their events means the world to the community!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would start with breakfast at Tony’s Kitchen in Bixby Knolls! They are a family owned business and I love their stuffed French toast. We would then walk around Bixby since it’s such a cute town and likely go shopping at And Then, which is a cute boutique! We would likely end the day with dinner at The Bamboo Club, a tiki bar, since they have amazing wings and great drinks!

Another perfect day would be going to Wolf’s Brew for coffee, I love their iced caramel latte, and going to a farmers market! Preferably Good Times Farmers Market in Burbank for the delicious pupusas and agua frescas!

Honorable mentions that I would have to take her to would be: Salud Juice Bar, PINKquet to build her own bouquet, & Chung Dam KBBQ in OC!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shoutout my sister Samantha, my fiancé Anthony, my mom Maria, and all my friends and family! I would not be able to do this without all their love and support. I also want to shoutout my Dad Javier, & my Tia Lola who are watching over my family and I. They always taught me to go after my dreams.
