*NOTE: This post has been updated with a promo code at the bottom! Happy reading & shopping!* During these hot summer days, it is really important to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! As you know, I try to exercise at least 3-4 times a week, so I am always drinking water - especially pre & post workout. Often times I like to put lemon or cucumber slices in my water. However the little bits of fruits & veggies sometimes get sucked up into … [Read more...]

Sandbox Fitness: Come Exercise on the Beach in Sherman Oaks!

Posted on July 30, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Minna Herskowitz, Sandbox Fitness, Sherman Oaks, Stacey Melman, Surfset, TRX, yoga | Leave a Comment

Just last week I was invited to attend classes at Sandbox Fitness in Sherman Oaks. This studio is located on Ventura Blvd, near Woodman Avenue. When you first walk inside the studio, you’ll notice right away the beach-like vibe. Instantly I felt calmer, as being near the ocean always makes me feel more relaxed & centered (even in a faux one such as this).  :) All of the classes are taught in the sandbox. The sand comes from Cal … [Read more...]

Meet Selene B. Kepila of Naked Infusions Salsa

Posted on July 30, 2014 | Filed Under: Food, Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Calabasas, NAKED infusions, salsa, Selene B. Kepila | 2 Comments

Recently I tried out a new salsa brand that is SO fresh & delicious! It’s made with organic ingredients sourced from local California farms. I personally love fresh made salsa, but honestly I don’t always have the time to make it. For those looking for a really great, smooth yet rich tasting salsa, then you might want to give NAKED infusions a try! I will be giving my review of the product line in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please … [Read more...]

Anime Expo 2014 in Downtown Los Angeles

Posted on July 25, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Anime Expo, Clare Grant, Comic-Con, Elvira, Hello Kitty, Noelle Bean, Rileah Vanderbilt, Team Unicorn, Women in Pop Culture | 2 Comments

Earlier this month I attended my very first Anime Expo. This was my very first conference in the anime industry. It’s funny that when I worked in the toy industry many moons ago, I had several opportunities to go to Comic-Con. Back then the focus was more on comic books & the toy industry that surrounded those characters. Comic-Con has now evolved into more of a pop culture festival. Sure you still have comic book fans that head down to San … [Read more...]

Zola Coconut Water Lemonade

Posted on July 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: coconut water, Coconut Water with Expresso, Zola Coconut Water Lemonade | 2 Comments

Like a lot of my fellow fitness friends, I enjoy coconut water. I recently tried a new drink from Zola that contains the perfect blend of tart & sweet. What is that drink? It’s Zola Coconut Water Lemonade! This drink contains coconut water, lemonade, Vitamin C (yay!) and cane sugar, among other items. It’s also gluten-free & dairy-free. But how does it taste? I really like it! It’s not overly sugary tasting like most lemonade. My … [Read more...]
