The Pure Bar – Organic & Vegan Snacks

Posted on September 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Pure Bar, Pure Fruit & Nut Bars, Pure Fruit & Veggie Strips | 6 Comments

I'm always on the hunt for healthy snacks for my family. If you follow me on social media, then you probably already know by now that I like to grab a snack bar after I finish a hard workout. That's not always ideal since these fruit & nut bars are sometimes full of sugar & high in calories. Also, do you ever truly know what's inside that energy bar? Well look no further than Pure Fruit & Nut Bars! These fruit & nut bars … [Read more...]

Meet Jessica Cohen of Baby Boot Camp Sherman Oaks & Studio City

Posted on September 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Baby Boot Camp Sherman Oaks, Jessica Cohen, stroller fitness program | 2 Comments

I was introduced to Jessica through a mutual friend of mine. Jessica is the franchise owner of Baby Boot Camp in Sherman Oaks & Studio City. When my daughter was 4 months old (about 8 years ago), I remember wishing that I could workout at my local gym. I rarely went though because the place that I belonged to at the time didn't have infant childcare. If only they had a Baby Boot Camp in the Valley back then! For Valley moms with infants … [Read more...]

Shared Spaces at WORK. by The Office Stylist

Posted on September 23, 2014 | Filed Under: Misc, Reviews | Tags: coworking, shared spaces, The Office Stylist | 2 Comments

Editor's Note: As of Summer 2016, this co-working space is closed. Two weeks ago I had a work presentation over in Santa Monica. It started at 11:30am & I knew that I had several writing projects due that day. So after I dropped off my daughter at school, rather than going back home to work on the computer, I headed over to Sherman Oaks to try out WORK. by The Office Stylist, which is a fabulous looking co-working space. That way I could … [Read more...]

Trying to Unplug – My Mini Social Media Fast

Posted on September 22, 2014 | Filed Under: Mommy Stuff | Tags: social media fast, social media sabbatical, unplug | 11 Comments

Yesterday was the first Sunday in a long time where I had no work, personal or blogging obligations. It felt really nice to hang out & chill. Sure I did a load or two of laundry, but I wasn't frantically trying to fold it in between checking Facebook or other social media. Speaking of social media, generally I check my accounts a lot throughout the day…and by a lot, I mean at least once every 1-2 hours (give or take). You would think I … [Read more...]

Keysocks Knee High Socks

Posted on September 19, 2014 | Filed Under: Reviews | Tags: footie socks, Keysocks, no show socks | 9 Comments

We’ve finally had a break from the heatwave & today’s temps are even cooler. While it’s not quite cool enough to break out the Uggs (although some LA hipsters my disagree), I decided to forgo the flip flops yesterday & wear knee high socks with my flats instead. However these aren’t just your ordinary knee highs, these are Keysocks. These special socks are meant for wearing with flats or high heels as a “no show” sock. I just … [Read more...]

#Caliwater Cactus Water Keeps Me Hydrated

Posted on September 18, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Cactus Water, Caliwater, prickly pear cactus superfruit | 2 Comments

I drink a lot of water during the day, especially on days that I work out. Gotta keep hydrated! However during this mini heatwave that we have been experiencing in LA, well really ALL of Southern California, it's always good to double up on the water. Fortunately for me, I've had Caliwater Cactus Water to satisfy my thirst. Never heard of cactus water? I didn't either until about 3 weeks ago when I saw Kat Odell's Instagram pic of it. I … [Read more...]
