Arctic Zero: Fit Frozen Desserts

Posted on August 27, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Arctic Zero, Fit Frozen Desserts, low cal ice cream | 8 Comments

I don’t know about where you live but it has been blazing hot in the Valley lately! When the weather is above 90 degrees, my family (including me) craves ice cream. If it were up to my daughter, we would have ice cream every day after dinner but obviously that wouldn’t be good for our health! However there is an ice cream out there that is fat free, lactose free (great for my family/friends who have a hard digesting dairy), GMO free and certified … [Read more...]

Sharky’s Northridge – Feel Good About Eating!

Posted on August 25, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Northridge Mexican food, organic Mexican food, Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill | 2 Comments

I attended a media lunch sponsored by Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill. The visit was complimentary & I received a goodie bag as compensation for attending. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own. I love Mexican food, but living in SoCal I know that not all places that serve Mexican food are created equal. Sure you’ve got your taco trucks, fast food chains, hole in the wall mom & pop places & sit down restaurants. Well what if … [Read more...]

#ONEDifference with Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Purina ONE

Posted on August 24, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events, Social Good | Tags: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Purina ONE, spcaLA | 2 Comments

By now you probably have heard about the overcrowding situation in dog shelters. My daughter has been begging for us to get her a dog & I know that when we are ready to commit to one, we will look at pet adoption centers in the LA area. Earlier this month, my daughter & I attended an event at Santa Monica Place that was hosted by spcaLA & Purina ONE. There were about a half dozen dogs on-hand from spcaLA who were hanging out in … [Read more...]

Celebrating Far From the Madding Crowd at Apricot Lane Farms

Posted on August 18, 2015 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Apricot Lane Farms, Far From the Madding Crowd, Fox Home Entertainment | 2 Comments

Far From the Madding Crowd

Two weeks ago, my daughter & I arrived at Apricot Lane Farms, located in a sleepy town just 45 minutes north of Los Angeles to celebrate the Blu-Ray/DVD release of Far From the Madding Crowd. The movie is set in England during Victorian times & is based on Thomas Hardy’s book of the same name, Far from the Madding Crowd. The film stars Carey Mulligan (who I’ve liked since she played Winnie Gekko in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) … [Read more...]

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...]
