I met Stacey Alysson earlier this year at her Beach Yoga class at Sandbox Fitness in Sherman Oaks. Her voice is so soothing & her yoga teaching style is just what I needed that one summer morning. She firmly but gently tries to push you to hold that pose a little longer, stretch & lengthen your arms. She also reminds you to breathe AND smile during the class! After the class ended, she graciously posed for a photo. If you are a yoga … [Read more...]

Recently I tried out a new salsa brand that is SO fresh & delicious! It’s made with organic ingredients sourced from local California farms.
