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!
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...]

Sprouting Threads – Monthly Subscription Box for Children’s Apparel
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...]
Green Apple Active – Lifestyle and Fitness Apparel
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.
