LA Zoo Lights Up the Sky This Holiday Season!

Posted on December 7, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: LA Zoo Lights, Los Angeles Lights Festival, Los Angeles Zoo | 15 Comments

This post was written by guest contributor Mary Lansing. Growing up, I was at The Los Angeles Zoo at least once a month. Living nearby, my family had yearly passes and some of my earliest memories are at the zoo. While I don't recall attending any holiday events, I would have flipped at The LA Zoo Lights, happening now through January 3rd. When the animals head into bed, some serious monkey business occurs as this 133 acres botanical … [Read more...]

Shopping For Orthotic Friendly Shoes via the Diabetic Shoes HuB!

Posted on December 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: Diabetic Shoes HuB, orthopedic shoes, plantar fasciitis | 2 Comments

My foot issues have been well-documented on my blog. In the Fall of 2013, I started to get heel pain in my left foot. After a series of self-treatments which you can read about here, it was finally diagnosed by my podiatrist as plantar fasciitis. He had said that I will always have this condition & that depending on my lifestyle (i.e. running a 10k, jogging without stretching before & after, etc.) that I will continue to have flare-ups. … [Read more...]

Personalized Coloring Books for Adults AND Kids!

Posted on December 4, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: coloring books for adults, personalized coloring books, star wars coloring books | 2 Comments

I've been reading a lot about how coloring books for adults are the new way to "Keep Calm and Carry On." If there ever was a week that I needed it, it was the weeks leading up to & following Thanksgiving. Usually the holidays are a challenging time for people, as we are preparing our houses for hosting parties, picking out special holiday food menus, wrapping presents (or hiding that darn elf) and/or heading out of town for holiday … [Read more...]

SweatSTR – A Scarf & Towel Reinvented!

Posted on December 1, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness, Product Reviews | Tags: athleisure, fitness wear, SweatSTR | 8 Comments

Now that the weather is getting chilly here in Los Angeles, I've been layering up when I get dressed to workout. I've discovered a new way to wipe the sweat during jogging or working out that is a combination scarf AND towel. That fitness product is called SweatSTR (sounds like sweater but with an "ST" within it). The idea is that you wear it out jogging or as part of your workout attire. With athleisure on the rise, it seems like the perfect … [Read more...]

DAVIDsTEA Is My New Favorite Tea Store!

Posted on November 25, 2015 | Filed Under: Food, Product Reviews | Tags: Davids Tea, Los Angeles tea shops, Woodland Hills Tea Shop | 2 Comments

I am an avid tea drinker & I love to discover new loose leaf teas to drink. DAVIDsTEA is a brand new tea store & I am obsessed with it! It is located at the Village at Westfield Topanga in Woodland Hills. While I love brewing & drinking loose leaf tea, I always found it a bit of a pain that the tea filter that I used would let some of the tea residue through to my mug. DAVIDsTEA makes these awesome tea filter bags that are … [Read more...]
