Shopping For Orthotic Friendly Shoes via the Diabetic Shoes HuB!

Posted on December 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: Diabetic Shoes HuB, orthopedic shoes, plantar fasciitis | 2 Comments

My foot issues have been well-documented on my blog. In the Fall of 2013, I started to get heel pain in my left foot. After a series of self-treatments which you can read about here, it was finally diagnosed by my podiatrist as plantar fasciitis. He had said that I will always have this condition & that depending on my lifestyle (i.e. running a 10k, jogging without stretching before & after, etc.) that I will continue to have flare-ups. … [Read more...]

Posted on December 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Season of the Force, Star Wars, The Force Awakens | 2 Comments

In just two weeks, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be released. I don't know about you, but my family has been talking about Star Wars non-stop for the past few weeks if not months! For those that have visited Disneyland lately, you'll have noticed that Star Wars fever is in the air, what with the Season of the Force in full effect. Also it seems that with every new trailer or teaser spot that comes out on TV, new theories abound … [Read more...]

Personalized Coloring Books for Adults AND Kids!

Posted on December 4, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: coloring books for adults, personalized coloring books, star wars coloring books | 2 Comments

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...]

Who doesn't love tacos? Living in Los Angeles, there is no shortage of Mexican restaurants to try out. I recently dined at Chronic Tacos in Valencia, which is about a 15-20 minute drive from my home since I live in the North Valley area of the SFV. I had never heard of Chronic Tacos until recently. Apparently it is HUGE in Orange County, as it started out in Newport Beach & my friends who live near one of the many Chronic Tacos … [Read more...]

Meet Lisa Natale a Personal Trainer at Beatbike!

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, then you know that I am a regular at Beatbike which is an indoor cycling studio based in Tarzana. I've been a big fan of Beatbike since day one & part of the reason is that their instructors are really great! I've taken classes from several of the Beatbike staff but my favorite is instructor is Lisa. She plays great music that really lifts me up during class. I’ve always said that music can make or … [Read more...]

SweatSTR – A Scarf & Towel Reinvented!

Posted on December 1, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness, Product Reviews | Tags: athleisure, fitness wear, SweatSTR | 8 Comments

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...]
