A couple weeks ago, I tried out a class at XplosiveFit in West Hills. The KickFit class is 30 minutes of sweaty fun, incorporating rope exercises & punching drills that I have never done.

We are both bloggers, but beyond that we have several other things in common: we both live in the same area of the Valley, our children are similar ages & we have similar interests. One of those interests has to do with the subject of multiculturalism. For Sonia, it is not just an interest but a passion project that has turned into a business. Sonia is the founder & creative designer … [Read more...]

Sharky's Restaurant

On a recent outing to Thousand Oaks, I stopped by Sharky's Woodfired Mexican Grill with my family to grab some lunch. Located in the Janss Marketplace on Moorpark Road, it's about a mile away from The Oaks Mall where we had just been shopping at the Disney Store. The main reason why I like eating at Sharky's is its commitment to serving healthy & fresh food. They aim to buy local whenever possible & source natural, organic … [Read more...]
