It was about four months ago when I lost my voice. I had just worked back to back events - Friday night at a Burbank street festival & Saturday morning on a rainy cold day at yet another festival but this time in Pasadena. When I got the call Saturday morning to replace a coworker who had flaked out on the event, I just knew that it was going to be an uphill battle to do my job. You see the type of work that I do involves a lot of talking … [Read more...]

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...]
QuickStick: A Great Storage Solution That Helps Me Stay Organized!
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.

Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Acute Care™ Skincare for Expression Lines

I don’t know whether it’s a combination of diet; lack of sleep; gaining weight, losing weight & then gaining it again (which I understand affects skin elasticity). It’s probably a combination of all three. Then again, I’m sure all of that time spent laying out in the sun during my high school years (before I knew any better) probably contributed … [Read more...]
