For those who follow my blog and social media, you know that I’ve been on a journey for getting back to my pre-pandemic weight.

Cheers to Financial Freedom - Erin Gore_headshot

In high school, I took a home economics class where we learned about cooking and sewing. How I wish they had taught me about personal finance, like balancing a checkbook, how credit cards work, what is an interest rate, etc. I eventually learned these things in college and young adulthood, but how great would it have been had I attended a formal class or webinar where I could learn about financial planning. Thankfully there is Cheers to Financial … [Read more...]

Shirley Scopelitis - Scope Locations

As a pop culture enthusiast, I’m fascinated by the filmmaking process. Chalk it up to when I was younger, and I worked as an extra (aka background actor) during college. While waiting around on set, I enjoyed watching all of the behind-the-scenes production workers. Fast forward to the present day and as I was watching a movie at home, I turned to the featurette on the production crew, one who happened to be a locations manager. I’ve always … [Read more...]

July - Manila Cakery

Like most people, I love pretty cakes. The intricate baking and artwork that goes into making a cake amazes me. Whenever I watch those baking shows on the Food Network, I’m always reminded that baking is a science, more so than cooking, because the wrong amount of an ingredient or if the temperature is not exact for the oven, then your cake could be a disaster. So when I saw the Manila Cakery photos on Instagram, I was so intrigued. Not only are … [Read more...]

Kat Doty_Barre3 Studio City

I’m a fan of fitness classes and will generally try any type of exercise at least once. When I’m scrolling through Instagram and see a new fitness studio open in the Valley, I immediately want to try it. So when I saw a post by Kat, owner of barre3 Studio City, I was very intrigued! I’ve taken barre classes before at other studios and I’m interested in seeing how barre3 Studio City is different from the others. I do know that one of barre3’s … [Read more...]
