Finding My Voice & Gaining Momentum

Momentum Jewelry

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...]

10 Fun Facts About ABC Family’s “Kevin From Work”

Posted on August 11, 2015 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: ABC Family TV Show, Kevin From Work, McG tv show, Noah Reid | Leave a Comment

Last week I attended a screening for the first episode of Kevin From Work. Office romance, a crazy boss, smelly break rooms, these are the topics that are touched on in this zany TV comedy about life in the cube farm (otherwise known as work). I’m sure a lot of us can relate to some of these issues. I know I’ve had a crazy boss (or two) & it’s well documented on social media how people hate the smells coming from the workplace kitchen (hello … [Read more...]

Shop Vivaiodays.com and Help Support a Vivaio Child

Posted on August 10, 2015 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: shopping for social good, Vivaio Child, Vivaiodays.com | 2 Comments

Who likes shopping? Yep, me too! Online shopping has been a big help for me since I don’t always have time (or the patience) to go to a physical store & buy things. What if I were to tell you that there is a website that features a curated collection of high-quality, sustainably sourced goods AND that for every $10 you spend equals $1 that goes towards helping a child in need. Sounds like a win-win, right? I believe that social media can … [Read more...]

Checking Out the Seasonally Inspired Menu at California Pizza Kitchen

Posted on August 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: California Pizza Kitchen, Seasonally Inspired CPK Menu | 6 Comments

When I hear the name California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), I think of pizza, pasta & that delicious bread basket. Recently I sampled foods from their new seasonally inspired menu & I was delighted to learn that they now offer so much more! As I was walking to my booth, the restaurant manager pointed out that the Northridge restaurant recently had a “refresh” in their decor. New wood flooring was installed that is made up of sustainable … [Read more...]

Meet Francine Michelle of Video Baby Books

Posted on July 29, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Francine Michelle, san fernando valley videographer, Video Baby Books | Leave a Comment

Francine Michelle wears a lot of hats. I’ve known her for about a year now, as we see each other at various blogger events & children’s outings. She usually has her son in tow, who is adorable & very expressive. I knew that Francine was co-owner of Menchie’s Valencia at Gateway Village, but I had no idea that Francine is a videographer by trade! As we stood there in the corner of a retail shop & she filled me in on her background, … [Read more...]
