Two Moms in the Raw – Snacks that are Mom-Made, Organic and Raw!

Posted on September 1, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: almond protein crackers, Two Moms in the Raw, vegan granola bars | 12 Comments

When I stopped by the Two Moms in the Raw booth at BlogFest, I was intrigued by the name. Naturally it was the food that led me to the booth, especially since they were passing out samples of several of their products. However it was the name of the company that got me wondering what this company was all about. Shari Leidich is the founder of Two Moms in the Raw, a family-run company that makes 100% organic, gluten free, raw, sprouted, non-GMO … [Read more...]

It’s #Time2Climb with #RiseNation

Posted on September 1, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Rise Nation, VersaClimber, vertical climber group fitness class | 6 Comments

When I first heard about Rise Nation, I was a little intimidated by the concept but that didn’t stop me from wanting to try it. At Rise Nation, you are working out in a group fitness setting on a VersaClimber, which is a vertical climber machine. After reading the description, I realized that it’s only 30 minutes, so surely I can hang in there for half an hour. As a new customer, my first session is free, so I was ready to rise to the … [Read more...]

Green Apple Active – Lifestyle and Fitness Apparel

Posted on August 31, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness, Product Reviews | Tags: Green Apple Active, Moisture Wicking Organic Bamboo Apparel, Organic Cotton fitness apparel | 2 Comments

I tend to live in my workout clothes. At school drop-off, you’ll see me in my yoga pants or leggings with a loose top or tank. Lately I’ve been looking for an outfit that doesn’t scream “I just got out of my cycle class!” & for one that looks more like casual weekend or lounge wear. It’s important that either top or bottom piece can take me from the gym to a doctor’s appointment to school pick-up. Remember when I went to BlogFest last … [Read more...]

Arctic Zero: Fit Frozen Desserts

Posted on August 27, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Arctic Zero, Fit Frozen Desserts, low cal ice cream | 8 Comments

I don’t know about where you live but it has been blazing hot in the Valley lately! When the weather is above 90 degrees, my family (including me) craves ice cream. If it were up to my daughter, we would have ice cream every day after dinner but obviously that wouldn’t be good for our health! However there is an ice cream out there that is fat free, lactose free (great for my family/friends who have a hard digesting dairy), GMO free and certified … [Read more...]

Sharky’s Northridge – Feel Good About Eating!

Posted on August 25, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Northridge Mexican food, organic Mexican food, Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill | 2 Comments

I attended a media lunch sponsored by Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill. The visit was complimentary & I received a goodie bag as compensation for attending. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own. I love Mexican food, but living in SoCal I know that not all places that serve Mexican food are created equal. Sure you’ve got your taco trucks, fast food chains, hole in the wall mom & pop places & sit down restaurants. Well what if … [Read more...]
