Visiting Escapology Escape Rooms in Northridge

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. As a fan of boy bands and romance novels, this is right up my alley! We’ve all fantasized about dating our favorite boy band member and for one young divorced woman, that teenage dream comes true—but is … [Read more...]

Posted on October 22, 2023 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Entwine Community, Entwine Wellness Retreat, Iris Chen, self-care | 15 Comments

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...]

Elderberry Syrup - Immune_Carmel Berry_sq

The cold and flu season is around the corner and I’m trying my best to avoid catching either one. In addition to getting my flu shot a few weeks ago, I regularly take Vitamin C and try to eat healthy. Another item that I’ve added to my morning routine is drinking one tablespoon of Carmel Berry Company’s fresh-pressed elderberry syrup. Did you know that communities around the world have used the elderberry for its potent nutritional benefits … [Read more...]

Love Goodly_Aug-Sept Beauty Box

Last month I attended a beauty conference in downtown Los Angeles. I was introduced to a lot of skincare and make-up brands. It was interesting to see how things were packaged and what colors were on trend. However, as I’ve gotten older, it’s important to me that I use products that have minimal ingredients because my skin can be sensitive to certain ingredients. There are so many choices when it comes to cosmetics and sometimes it’s confusing or … [Read more...]
