Orange Glad Sweet Box – March Review

Posted on March 16, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: dessert subscription box, Orange Glad Sweet Box, Sweet E’s Bake Shop | 7 Comments

I have a couple of friends that are addicted to monthly subscription goodie box programs. Whether it is health & beauty items, fashion accessories or fitness products, it seems like there is a subscription box for everything. Recently I had the opportunity to try out the Orange Glad Sweet Box & it couldn’t have come at a better time! Flashback to a couple of weekends ago when my daughter was working on her science project for the … [Read more...]

Last month we celebrated our Valentine's Day morning together as a family at a fun gathering at The Awesome Playground, where we noshed on food provided by Mix n' Munch of Pasadena & met with the folks from Bricks 4 Kidz. The Awesome Playground is an indoor playground located on York Blvd in the Eagle Rock/Highland Park area of LA.

Checking Out Drenched Fitness – aka #BritneysFaveWorkout

Posted on March 12, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Britney Spears workout, Drenched Fitness, Westlake Village fitness studio | 7 Comments

Last month I attended an event at Drenched Fitness in Westlake Village. During the class I alternated between running on a treadmill & floor exercises using the HIIT method (high-intensity interval training). All the while, a local DJ played music that kept me motivated & pumped up. The class was a total hit HIIT! Afterwards, much like the studio name implies, I was totally drenched! Fortunately I was able to pull myself together … [Read more...]

Meet Shauna Ahmadian Owner and CEO of Pronutz

Posted on March 11, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Pronutz, Shauna Ahmadian, yogurt covered pistachios | 4 Comments

I met Shauna Ahmadian earlier this year when I attended the LA Cookie Con where she was showcasing her new product at the show. Pronutz is a pistachio product that comes in two flavors, milk chocolate coated & yogurt coated. Having tried both flavors, I have to say that I like them both equally! However I'm probably more inclined to the yogurt covered ones, but that's just me. Not only is Shauna a Valley businesswoman, but she is also … [Read more...]

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...]
