CocoZen™ Coconut Water – Product Review

Posted on July 13, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: cholesterol-free, coconut water, CocoZen, electrolytes | Leave a Comment

It’s another hot day in the San Fernando Valley! I’ve learned from living in LA that while many folks like to stay active & physically fit, another very important lesson is to stay hydrated. The intense heat is no joke in the SFV & you don’t want to be caught without water or some sort of liquid that can help cool you down & refresh you, especially after a tough workout. That’s why I’m glad to have had CocoZen™ Coconut Water on-hand … [Read more...]

First Impressions on the Emmy 2014 Nominations

Posted on July 10, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, Downton Abbey, Emmy 2014, Emmy Nominations, Julia Louis Dreyfus, True Detective | 10 Comments

People often joke in LA that we have four seasons, which are Summer, Fall, Fire & Award seasons. Personally I love the entertainment award season, especially the "big" ones like the Emmys, Golden Globes & of course, the Oscars. I often tell my friends & family that the Oscars are my Super Bowl. I really get into the predictions of who will win by participating in "friendly wagers" with friends, where the winner gets treated to lunch. … [Read more...]

It's no secret in my family that I am a "salty snack" person. While my daughter may have inherited her dad's sweet tooth, I tend to reach for the chips & salsa or cheese & crackers at family parties. As someone who is always seeking a healthier alternative to cheese-flavored snacks, I was thrilled to sample Ocean's Halo ™ Seaweed Chips! Ocean's Halo ™ Seaweed Chips are made from organic, sustainably harvested & nutrient-rich … [Read more...]

Care Bears Love to Learn – App Review

Posted on July 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Books | Tags: Care Bears Love to Learn, educational app, iPad, tech game | 4 Comments

My daughter loves playing with her dad's iPad. I try to make sure she balances electronic entertainment with reading (an actual book, not on a tablet), playing with her toys & going on play dates with friends. Believe it or not, she's been on an actual play date (both at our home & at her friend's house), where she's asked "Can we play with the iPad?" Sigh... Enter the new Care Bears Love to Learn app which is the first early learning … [Read more...]
