Salonpas: Targeting Pain Relief Right at the Source

Posted on March 4, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: pain relief patch, Salonpas, topical analgesic | 3 Comments

I’ve been using Salonpas patches for years. I remember being in high school & using these patches whenever I had leg pain & soreness. I would raid my dad’s medicine cabinet & get one of these patches. The tiny patches contain a topical analgesic that works on both muscle & joint pain. A few years after my daughter was born, I participated in my very first 5k race, jogging around the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. I knew that I would be … [Read more...]

Posted on February 23, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Girl Scouts Digital Photographer Badge, Microsoft Store, Westfield Topanga | Leave a Comment

We all know that right now Girl Scout Cookie season is in full effect! I've seen photos on social media regarding the Girl Scouts #onemorebite campaign. The idea is to upload a selfie on Instagram of you with a Girl Scout Cookie, tag it #onemorebite & then you will be entered into a giveaway in which the grand prize is 52 boxes of your fave Girl Scout Cookie! Wow, that's a lot of Thin Mints (for me)! Speaking of photographs, did you know … [Read more...]

Posted on January 26, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: home organizational tools, QuickStick, storage solutions | 13 Comments

Does this sound familiar? You are rushing around the house, trying to get out of the door for school, work, etc. & you can’t find your car or house keys. After digging through your purse, checking out the usual hiding places – that entry way table with the mail piled up, the kitchen  or even the kids playroom (hey, it happens!), then you finally find them. This has happened to me countless times & I’m sure to you as well. Wouldn’t it be … [Read more...]

I recently found out about a fun, free Winter Camp that is hosted by the Microsoft Store at Westfield Topanga in Canoga Park. During these tutorial sessions, your child can learn how to create, code, design & develop on Microsoft computers. Spread over two days, these … [Read more...]

Editor’s Note: The Nail Garden in Porter Ranch has moved to a new location with a brand new look and feel. Hey North Valley friends, there's a new nail salon in town! The Nail Garden opened up its doors a few months ago in Porter Ranch. I had visited the one in Valencia, but I was thrilled to find out that one had opened up near my house. Last week I ventured over to the Whole Foods shopping center on Tampa & Rinaldi where the … [Read more...]

Giving Back is the New Black – Fighting Hunger with #HalfUnited

Posted on November 18, 2014 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: fighting hunger necklace, giving back is the new black, Half United | Leave a Comment

A few months ago, I was scrolling through images on my Instagram feed & I came across a photo of a cool necklace made with a recycled bullet casing. The necklace is made by a company called Half United. Not only are the necklaces stylish & so versatile (I can wear them with t-shirts & jeans, tanks, sweaters, etc.) but it also has a social good component to it. That’s because Half United donates HALF of the profits from every product … [Read more...]
