I first got to know Heather Coopersmith through a Facebook group that shares information on fun activities to do in LA with kids. I noticed that a lot of the activities she posted were centered in the Valley, which was very helpful to me. I later learned that she is a mom, makeup artist & owner of Makeup the Bride. Every bride needs a glam squad & Heather is just the right person to help meet your makeup needs on your wedding … [Read more...]
Penne Pasta with Uncle Steve’s Arrabiata Sauce
I know quite a few moms that have at least one “go to” pasta dish that they can cook at a moment’s notice. I personally love penne pasta & so does my family. One of our favorite dishes (and it is easy-to-make too!) is penne pasta with ground beef. Usually I just pick up whatever sauce that’s available at my local grocery store but this time I wanted to make it with one of Uncle Steve’s™ organic pasta sauces. Steve Schirripa (best known … [Read more...]
Menchie’s Newest Froyo Flavor – Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll!
Every now & then I like to take my daughter to get frozen yogurt as an after-school treat. Usually I pair her favorite flavor with fresh fruit, like strawberries or bananas.

Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Acute Care™ Skincare for Expression Lines

I don’t know whether it’s a combination of diet; lack of sleep; gaining weight, losing weight & then gaining it again (which I understand affects skin elasticity). It’s probably a combination of all three. Then again, I’m sure all of that time spent laying out in the sun during my high school years (before I knew any better) probably contributed … [Read more...]
Hello Kitty Con 2014 Recap
Thousands of Hello Kitty fans lined the streets of downtown Los Angeles to attend Hello Kitty Con last week. I attended a media preview of Hello Kitty Con last Wednesday night, but because I am such a Hello Kitty nerd, I went back another day to view it again with the public. Hello Kitty Con took place at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (The Museum of Contemporary Art) in DTLA. It is literally steps away from the Little Tokyo district, … [Read more...]
Hitting the Reset Button with Soupure
About a year & a half ago, I cut out cheese & Diet Coke for 4 weeks in preparation for my family’s summer vacation to Hawaii. I also limited carbs, coffee & tea about 2 weeks prior to the trip. I remember feeling great during that vacation – well rested & energetic. Since we were in Hawaii, I made sure to eat a lot of local fruits & fish – so it was easy to eat “clean” while we were there. Earlier this summer, I tried a … [Read more...]
