Keysocks Knee High Socks

Posted on September 19, 2014 | Filed Under: Reviews | Tags: footie socks, Keysocks, no show socks | 9 Comments

We’ve finally had a break from the heatwave & today’s temps are even cooler. While it’s not quite cool enough to break out the Uggs (although some LA hipsters my disagree), I decided to forgo the flip flops yesterday & wear knee high socks with my flats instead. However these aren’t just your ordinary knee highs, these are Keysocks. These special socks are meant for wearing with flats or high heels as a “no show” sock. I just … [Read more...]

#Caliwater Cactus Water Keeps Me Hydrated

Posted on September 18, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Cactus Water, Caliwater, prickly pear cactus superfruit | 2 Comments

I drink a lot of water during the day, especially on days that I work out. Gotta keep hydrated! However during this mini heatwave that we have been experiencing in LA, well really ALL of Southern California, it's always good to double up on the water. Fortunately for me, I've had Caliwater Cactus Water to satisfy my thirst. Never heard of cactus water? I didn't either until about 3 weeks ago when I saw Kat Odell's Instagram pic of it. I … [Read more...]

eShakti: Fashionable Clothes Made to Your Size & Style!

Posted on September 17, 2014 | Filed Under: Reviews | Tags: custom-made clothes, eShakti, online clothing retailer | 12 Comments

As a petite woman, it’s challenging to find dresses that fit me just right, in a style that I love. Often times I’ll see a style but wish I could make it shorter in length or adjust the sleeves. Personally I don’t like the way cap sleeves look on me & would prefer either a sleeveless or a slightly longer sleeve. As someone who is 4’ 11", dresses that are supposed to hit me at the knee are often longer. So it’s either look for a mini skirt … [Read more...]

Meet Kristine de la Cruz of Crème Caramel LA

Posted on September 17, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Crème Caramel LA, Kristine de la Cruz, Sherman Oaks bakery | 3 Comments

In November 2013, I visited Crème Caramel LA in Sherman Oaks with my daughter. The bakery is known for their delicious sweet treats such as bread puddings, crème caramels & my favorite Ube Upside Down Pie! During my visit to the store, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner & baker, Kristine de la Cruz. She is Filipina (just like me) & when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines last year, she donated her baked goods to a charity … [Read more...]

#Disneyland10k Race Recap + My Birthday Weekend

Posted on September 14, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Disneyland 10k, Lilo and Stitch, race recap, runDisney | 4 Comments

Two weekends ago I participated in a 10k at Disneyland. It was special for several reasons: it was a runDisney event, it was my very first 10k ever AND it was my birthday weekend. Initially I had wanted to run the Disneyland 10k in 2013 to commemorate my 40th birthday, but by the time I went to register, it was too late & it had sold out. In a way it was a good thing because this year’s 10k race theme happened to be Lilo & … [Read more...]
