Gran Turismo Races Into Homes {Movie Review}

Gran Turismo_Harbour-Bloom-Madekwe

“Gran Turismo” is a heart-pounding, thrill ride of a movie. From the moment I turned on the movie at home, I was riveted to the screen.

Together, they risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the … [Read more...]

Escapology Northridge - Mystery Machine

True confession – I’ve never been in an escape room until last month. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always wanted to participate in an escape game, but for some reason I thought it would scare me. Admittedly, there are some escape rooms that aim for thrills and chills. Fortunately, Escapology Escape Rooms in Northridge is less about frightening its guests and more about entertainment and adventure in the form of brain teasers, hidden clues, cracking … [Read more...]

The Comeback Tour - Front Cover

I read a lot of romance novels in my teens and 20s. Even now, as a woman of a particular age, I like to read a fun soapy novel. “The Comeback Tour” written by Joelle Speranza is a book that came into my life at just the right moment.

Entwine - Ticket Sale Announcement!

I’m a firm believer in self-care. There’s an analogy about how it’s important to put your own oxygen mask on first, before attempting to help those around you. As a working mom, sometimes you feel so stretched, trying to keep all the balls juggling in the air, that you forget to take time for yourself to connect with your feelings and focus on your needs. The Entwine Wellness Retreat takes place on Saturday, November 4th at Stonehurst in the … [Read more...]
