During my spin class this morning, I found myself lost in the music that was blaring from the speaker system. It got me thinking…what are my top 10 songs to workout to?

Cafe MangoSix
Disclosure: I was invited to an event hosted by MomsLA & Cafe MangoSix - all opinions are my own.

Summer Sounds at the Hollywood Bowl
Last week I attended Summer Sounds at the Hollywood Bowl with my daughter. This is a summer program for kids that feature arts & crafts, as well as a musical performance. The theme for this particular performance was American Bluegrass music. We arrived at the Hollywood Bowl around 10am. Parking in Lot B was a breeze & FREE (major plus). I had signed up my daughter to do the arts & crafts segment of the program first. There were … [Read more...]
