CycleBar SOaks_Dana Pineda

I’ve known Dana for quite some time now. She was an instructor at the now-defunct Beatbike in Tarzana. However, it was during the last few years that we really became acquainted with each other. In years past, I hosted fitness events at Row House Granada Hills and BoxUnion Sherman Oaks. Dana always offered to donate items for the goodie bags. I knew back then that she was in the planning stages for CycleBar Sherman Oaks. I’m happy to say that … [Read more...]

Wendy Ramirez_Ever After Bakery-1

I remember watching the news one morning and an interview featuring Ever After Bakery caught my interest. I started following them on Instagram from that moment on. With each photo of baked goods – from cakes to cookies and cake pops, I’ve wondered, “Who is the baker responsible for all of this magical goodness?” I recently reached out to Wendy to find out how she got her start in the baking industry, what she likes best about having a … [Read more...]

Jessica Carter_real estate agent

If you’re like me, you’ve probably at one time or another watched a reality show that had to do with buying or selling houses. There are so many shows out there – Million Dollar Listing, Love It or List It, Selling Sunset, etc. What those shows don’t accurately convey is that buying or selling your house can be very stressful. Having a good real estate agent is key to a successful outcome and will help mitigate some of the anxiety. I’ve known … [Read more...]

Janae Cardona_Magnitude Cheer

I met Janae last year at an event that I hosted at Row House Granada Hills. I knew that she owned Magnitude Cheer, an all-star cheer gym in Northridge. As the mother of a cross country runner, I know how important it is for children to be physically active. When my daughter was younger, I encouraged her to take ballet, tap and even Irish dancing classes. My cousin’s daughter is on a competitive cheer team and I’ve always marveled at the … [Read more...]

Bear & Belle's Bakery_booth_cropped

For most pet owners, our furry friends are like family. We have a rescue dog, a chihuahua that is 10 years old. When I buy her treats, I made sure they are made with high-quality ingredients because she deserves the best! At Bear & Belle’s Bakery, the dog treats are healthy, organic and baked with love! I first met Trixie at a festival hosted by Café Aficionado, a family-owned coffee shop located in Northridge. She and her daughter were … [Read more...]

Danrochelle_headshot

I’ve been a fan of Danrochelle's Meet the (818) for quite some time now. I first became aware of the Meet the (818) Instagram account last year and eagerly followed and read each post because it introduced me to a Valley-based event or person of interest. Then when Danrochelle reached out to interview me for her website, I was thrilled and honored! Since that time, we’ve meet several times in person, usually at Valley-based events. Meet the … [Read more...]
