Visiting My Fit Foods in Sherman Oaks

Posted on March 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: 21-Day Challenge, My Fit Foods, Sherman Oaks Fit Foods | 4 Comments

**2/28/17 EDITOR’S NOTE: I was informed via Yelp & also the My Fit Foods website that the business is closed.** Ever since my daughter was a toddler, if she didn’t finish all of her food at mealtime, I’d pick at the leftovers because I didn’t want them to go to waste. Can you relate? How about this… you’re making dinner & you start sampling the food while you’re cooking because you’ve been rushing around all day. I’ve done that many a … [Read more...]

Salonpas: Targeting Pain Relief Right at the Source

Posted on March 4, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: pain relief patch, Salonpas, topical analgesic | 3 Comments

I’ve been using Salonpas patches for years. I remember being in high school & using these patches whenever I had leg pain & soreness. I would raid my dad’s medicine cabinet & get one of these patches. The tiny patches contain a topical analgesic that works on both muscle & joint pain. A few years after my daughter was born, I participated in my very first 5k race, jogging around the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. I knew that I would be … [Read more...]

Jen & Joe’s Frozen Gourmet Cookie Dough

Posted on March 3, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: frozen cookie dough, Jen & Joe’s Cookie Dough, white chocolate wasabi cookies | Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh baked cookies? My family loves eating them & more importantly, my kiddo loves helping me bake ‘em. It’s a fun weekend activity; however, let’s be honest…sometimes with our hectic schedules we don’t always have time to bake cookies from scratch, especially when you look inside your pantry & realize that you don’t have all of the ingredients needed to bake that yummy cookie recipe that you found on … [Read more...]

Posted on February 25, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Ruby Ribbon Independent Stylist, shapewear, Stephanie Alvarez | 2 Comments

I met Stephanie Alvarez last year when I attended a Ruby Ribbon styling session at her home. Stephanie was so gracious & entertaining as I tried on a bunch of different outfits. Usually when I try on shapewear at a department store, it is kind of a drag, but Stephanie made it so much fun! As a Ruby Ribbon Independent Stylist, Stephanie works for a company that inspires women by fostering a community of friendship & empowerment. Please … [Read more...]

WundaBar Studio City – Pilates Reinvented

Posted on February 23, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Amy Jordan, Studio City Pilates, WundaBar Pilates | Leave a Comment

If you’ve seen the photos on my Instagram account, then you’ll probably notice a few things – I love food, I attend a lot of children’s events & that I like to work out! The food part is easy to explain – I like eating! I also attend a lot of kids stuff due to my day job. The working out part is critical for me, since I do have to offset all of that eating, but also it’s good for my mental health. My family knows that mama gets a little … [Read more...]

Girl Scouts Workshop at #SFV Microsoft Store

We all know that right now Girl Scout Cookie season is in full effect! I've seen photos on social media regarding the Girl Scouts #onemorebite campaign. The idea is to upload a selfie on Instagram of you with a Girl Scout Cookie, tag it #onemorebite & then you will be entered into a giveaway in which the grand prize is 52 boxes of your fave Girl Scout Cookie! Wow, that's a lot of Thin Mints (for me)! Speaking of photographs, did you know … [Read more...]
