Meet Stacey Alysson – #SFV & Los Angeles Yoga Instructor!

Posted on August 20, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: LA yoga instructor, Sandbox Fitness, Stacey Alysson | 1 Comment

I met Stacey Alysson earlier this year at her Beach Yoga class at Sandbox Fitness in Sherman Oaks. Her voice is so soothing & her yoga teaching style is just what I needed that one summer morning. She firmly but gently tries to push you to hold that pose a little longer, stretch & lengthen your arms. She also reminds you to breathe AND smile during the class! After the class ended, she graciously posed for a photo. If you are a yoga … [Read more...]

Editor’s Note: Beatbike, like so many businesses during the pandemic, closed its doors for good in 2020. I am so excited to share with you a cycle studio that is so unique to the Valley! Beatbike opened its doors in February 2014 & it is truly one-of-a-kind. As soon as you walk into the second floor indoor cycling studio, you’ll notice how spacious it is inside. There is an area with tablets so that you can quickly self check-in … [Read more...]

CD Review + Giveaway: Unrepentant Geraldines by Tori Amos

Posted on August 19, 2014 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: CD giveaway, Tori Amos, Unrepentant Geraldines | 6 Comments

I’ve been a fan of Tori Amos since her Little Earthquakes days, back when I was in college & listening to KROQ radio station 24/7. The song Silent All These Years has such a great melody & those haunting lyrics…just beautiful! Fast forward 20-something years later & people are still listening to Tori’s music. Tori’s latest album Unrepentant Geraldines is vintage Tori, her lilting voice accompanied by that great piano music. I … [Read more...]

The following post is sponsored by the Institute of Food Technologists®. All opinions are 100% my own. As a busy mom I’m amazed at how much food can be wasted in my own home. I’ve seen news reports on TV that show how nearly half of the food produced in the United States is never eaten. Shocking isn’t it?! I started to think, what can I do to reduce food waste in my own home? Here's my Top 5 ways to reduce food waste... Check expiration … [Read more...]

Sampling Juice Flavors at Pressed Juicery + Giveaway!

Posted on August 13, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: cold-pressed juices, Pressed Juicery, recipes for juicing | 7 Comments

I have quite a few friends who are big fans of cold-pressed juices. On occasion I have grabbed juices from the market after a workout, but until last week I had yet to try any from Pressed Juicery. So when I was invited to come down to the Studio City location to sample the newest seasonal flavors, I jumped at the chance! I sampled three seasonal flavors. The first one contained spinach, romaine, kale, yuzu, pink lady apple, cucumber & … [Read more...]
