Who doesn’t enjoy an outdoor summertime concert? Readers of my blog may recall that last year I attended a California Philharmonic concert at Santa Anita Park. This is an awesome venue that is located in Arcadia. You’ll be surrounded by the beautiful San Gabriel mountains on one side along with views of the Santa Anita Race Track outdoor venue.

Weightlifting at Novo Body Fitness in Encino

Posted on July 9, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Encino weightlifting studio, Miguel Novo, Novo Body Fitness | 2 Comments

Confession: I'm a former cardio junkie who used to only focus on spinning classes, cardio kickboxing, stair climber machines & treadmills. It's not that those fitness classes or exercise machines are inherently bad, it's just that I needed to add some strength-training to my exercise regimen. I used to think (many years ago) that I should not lift weights that are heavier than 5 pounds, for fear that I would "bulk up." Now I know … [Read more...]

Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator {Review}

Posted on May 29, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: Febreze, laundry fabric deodorizer, Laundry Odor Eliminator | 1 Comment

We had a family party over Memorial Weekend to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. While the kids played happily inside a bounce house, my husband had a spirited game of basketball with his brothers & cousins out on our sports court. Cut to the day after the party when I am cleaning up & stumble across the gym clothes that my husband used. Stinky!! Thank goodness I had a sample of Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator so I could put it to the … [Read more...]
