Scarium of the Pacific – Trick or Treat at the Aquarium

Posted on October 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach Trick or Treating, Scarium of the Pacific | 17 Comments

Halloween is around the corner & for parents, that means two things – oh geez, what costume am I going to make/buy my child and where do we go for trick or treating? I barely passed my Home Economics class (do they even have Home Ec or is it called “Life Skills” class?), so I can’t sew my daughter’s costume. So off to the pop-up Halloween costume store I go! As for trick or treating, usually we walk around our neighborhood. In years past, … [Read more...]

Sprouting Threads – Monthly Subscription Box for Children’s Apparel

Posted on September 30, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: kids apparel subscription box, mail order kids fashion, Sprouting Threads | Leave a Comment

Shopping for my daughter can be tricky. While she does enjoy pretty & stylish clothes, my kiddo does not enjoy the shopping process of driving to the mall, trying on a bunch of clothes & standing in line with mommy to pay for them. I don’t blame her, I don’t exactly relish it either! ;) However with family & holiday events on the horizon & the new Fall season coming up (although in LA it is not really a cool season) – nonetheless, … [Read more...]

At Westfield Topanga’s The Village, you can do all of that & more! Need some new fitness clothes? Check out Kate Hudson’s Fabletics store! Are you a big fan of Athleta? Their retail store is across the “hall.” Want to workout at The Village? In addition … [Read more...]

This past weekend I visited The Village at Westfield Topanga which is a brand new outdoor mall in Woodland Hills. It was a perfect morning, started out at my favorite fitness studio in Tarzana, grabbed a skinny latte & then drove about 10 minutes to get to the multi-level parking structure of The Village. Since I arrived around 9am, I was able to park on the first floor & tour around the outdoor mall before the crowds arrived at 10am. … [Read more...]

Green Apple Active – Lifestyle and Fitness Apparel

Posted on August 31, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness, Product Reviews | Tags: Green Apple Active, Moisture Wicking Organic Bamboo Apparel, Organic Cotton fitness apparel | 2 Comments

I tend to live in my workout clothes. At school drop-off, you’ll see me in my yoga pants or leggings with a loose top or tank. Lately I’ve been looking for an outfit that doesn’t scream “I just got out of my cycle class!” & for one that looks more like casual weekend or lounge wear. It’s important that either top or bottom piece can take me from the gym to a doctor’s appointment to school pick-up. Remember when I went to BlogFest last … [Read more...]
