#ShapeMeetAndTweet Event: Skin Smart Edition

Posted on November 13, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness, Local Events | Tags: Rodan and Fields, Shape Magazine blogger event, Shape Meet and Tweet, Sonya Dakar | 3 Comments

If you follow my Instagram, then you may recall that last month I attended the Shape Meet & Tweet event in Santa Monica. It was held at the beautiful Annenberg Community Beach House! The event was awesome & I just knew that it would be since I had attended a similar event two years ago. There was SO much content & fabulousness happening in the 2015 event that I have to break down my recap into sections. This first one will be about … [Read more...]

Brunch at Eureka! Woodland Hills

Posted on November 11, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Eureka restaurant, Valley brunch spots, Woodland Hills restaurant | 4 Comments

At first blush, when you see Eureka! Woodland Hills, you might wonder - is it a sports bar, a gastropub type place or family friendly? It's actually all of those things & more! Sure there is a very cool Happy Hour, with great specials & a really nice bar with TVs. However, it is very family AND pet friendly! On a recent brunch outing with my family, we saw many couples but several families with kids of all ages & even pets out … [Read more...]

#EatDrinkThink with Cheeky Paper Products!

Posted on November 10, 2015 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: Cheeky Paper Products, Eat Drink Think, Feeding America, social good | Leave a Comment

Who knew that a product that is used in my household on a weekly basis would be so revolutionary? To be honest with you, when I first saw Cheeky paper plates at Target, I thought wow, what cute patterns but I'll just stick with my "XYZ brand" of paper plates. Then I saw a cool Cheeky product photo on Instagram. That got me into researching their Twitter & Facebook page, only to discover that while their product is of primary importance, it is … [Read more...]

Authentic Italian Food at #IlFornaio in Woodland Hills!

Posted on November 9, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Il Fornaio, The Village at Westfield Topanga, Woodland Hills Italian Restaurant | 5 Comments

Recently my family tried out the new Il Fornaio restaurant in Woodland Hills. It is located inside the Village at Westfield Topanga. I had never been to an Il Fornaio before, but I had heard about its reputation for authentic & delicious Italian food. As the hostess took us to our table, I noticed right away the neat pizza oven that can be viewed in the open-air kitchen. At Il Fornaio, they make fresh pizza dough daily. Also their … [Read more...]

Memoirs That I Love – November 2015 Edition

Posted on November 8, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: Andy Cohen, Jillian Lauren, Joe Zee | Leave a Comment

One of the great things about reading a good book, especially with memoirs is that it transports you back in time & gives you the  ability to experience what life was like for the author during that time period of the book. There are three memoirs that I've enjoyed recently & I think perhaps you will too! While it's no secret that I enjoy watching TV, my first love as a child was reading books & getting immersed in a world that was … [Read more...]

Seal’s New Album “7” Drops Today!

Posted on November 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: Seal "7", Seal musician, Trevor Horn | Leave a Comment

When I first heard Seal’s music back in the early 90s, I was just starting college & still rocking the big hair (not sure why). I played those two CDs (“Seal” & “Seal II”) to death! Since then, he has released many more albums. The last two recent ones “Hits” & “Commitment and Soul 2” were so-so in my book. That’s why I am super excited to review his new “7” album that releases today, November 6th! It is a true return to … [Read more...]
