B. Toffee – Milk & Dark Chocolates

Posted on October 4, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: B. toffee, Betsey Thagard, Orange County toffee shop | 10 Comments

I had a part-time job in college & one of my co-workers would make toffees & fudge every Fall/Winter. Around October, I remember asking Linda "What type of toffee will you make this season?" Every year I would look forward to her sweet treats. That was many, many years ago (like 20!) & sadly I don't get to enjoy her homemade toffee. That's why I'm so glad to have found out about B. toffee! B. toffee was founded by Betsey … [Read more...]

Meet Christine Mansoor of Lia Sophia

Posted on October 1, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Christine Mansoor, jewelry advisor, Lia Sophia | 8 Comments

I’ve known Christine Mansoor for several years. Our daughters go to the same elementary school. Last year when our kids were in second grade, we worked together as Room Moms for the classroom. If any of you have volunteered at your child’s school or for the PTA, then you know how quickly those volunteer sessions can bond you with others. Having the opportunity to get to know Christine a little better, I've seen how dedicated she is to her … [Read more...]

Shopping at Don Roberto Jewelers in Van Nuys!

Posted on September 28, 2014 | Filed Under: Reviews | Tags: Don Roberto Jewelers, Hello Kitty watches, Van Nuys jewelry store | 6 Comments

Generally I dress for comfort & keep my jewelry to a minimum. However I do like to dress up from time to time & every once in a while throw on a little bling. So when I heard about Don Roberto Jewelers Anniversary Sale & Giveaway, I thought it would be a perfect time to check out their Van Nuys store. With Hello Kitty Con about a month away, I decided that I needed some jewelry or accessories to jazz up my wardrobe. I had heard … [Read more...]

The Pure Bar – Organic & Vegan Snacks

Posted on September 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Pure Bar, Pure Fruit & Nut Bars, Pure Fruit & Veggie Strips | 6 Comments

I'm always on the hunt for healthy snacks for my family. If you follow me on social media, then you probably already know by now that I like to grab a snack bar after I finish a hard workout. That's not always ideal since these fruit & nut bars are sometimes full of sugar & high in calories. Also, do you ever truly know what's inside that energy bar? Well look no further than Pure Fruit & Nut Bars! These fruit & nut bars … [Read more...]

Meet Jessica Cohen of Baby Boot Camp Sherman Oaks & Studio City

Posted on September 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Baby Boot Camp Sherman Oaks, Jessica Cohen, stroller fitness program | 2 Comments

I was introduced to Jessica through a mutual friend of mine. Jessica is the franchise owner of Baby Boot Camp in Sherman Oaks & Studio City. When my daughter was 4 months old (about 8 years ago), I remember wishing that I could workout at my local gym. I rarely went though because the place that I belonged to at the time didn't have infant childcare. If only they had a Baby Boot Camp in the Valley back then! For Valley moms with infants … [Read more...]
