I met Ruth Blanding while shopping for a baby shower gift at a boutique in Porter Ranch. We struck up a conversation and I quickly learned that not only is Ruth a real estate agent (she happened to be looking for home décor items in the store), but she is also an herbalist and author of "Herbal Medicine for Modern Life". The San Fernando Valley is a big region (population 1.8 million when I last checked), but at that moment, it felt like a … [Read more...]
Meet Ermelinda, Owner of Perspire Sauna Studio Porter Ranch
Last year my husband bought me a gift card for Perspire Sauna Studio in Porter Ranch. I had tried other saunas at various day spas before, but this one was next level! I loved it so much and looked forward to my sessions at Perspire. Watching TV while sitting in a sauna getting red light therapy was the ultimate self-care session for me! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7b6qyQJSau/ Recently the studio celebrated its one-year anniversary and … [Read more...]
Meet Angie Diaz, Owner and Founder of Ms. Diaz Tutoring

Although I must admit, when I have a quick need to consume information, the online magazine will do. Last month I had a conversation with someone who lives in … [Read more...]
Meet Miri Rossitto, Founder & CEO of Cowe Communications
I’ve worked in marketing communications for roughly two decades. I have had stints in the toy industry, aerospace, insurance, and even a tech start-up. One of the things that I’ve learned along the way is that surrounding yourself with good people on your team is key to job satisfaction. Another approach I value is a company culture whose leadership style is managed from the bottom-up. This means that leaders encourage ownership and buy-in from … [Read more...]
Meet Rebecca, Founder of Mommy To Be Wellness!
Back when I was a pregnant mother, there was one or two maternity wellness/retail stores in the Valley that I frequented. To be honest, it was more about selling maternity wear and baby-related products and less about services for new or expecting moms. I'm happy to say that times have changed in the Valley and there is now a wellness concierge service called Mommy To Be Wellness. This Valley-based company offers mobile pregnancy spa services … [Read more...]
