Posted on October 22, 2023 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Entwine Community, Entwine Wellness Retreat, Iris Chen, self-care | 15 Comments

Entwine - Ticket Sale Announcement!

I’m a firm believer in self-care. There’s an analogy about how it’s important to put your own oxygen mask on first, before attempting to help those around you. As a working mom, sometimes you feel so stretched, trying to keep all the balls juggling in the air, that you forget to take time for yourself to connect with your feelings and focus on your needs. The Entwine Wellness Retreat takes place on Saturday, November 4th at Stonehurst in the … [Read more...]

Elderberry Syrup - Immune_Carmel Berry_sq

The cold and flu season is around the corner and I’m trying my best to avoid catching either one. In addition to getting my flu shot a few weeks ago, I regularly take Vitamin C and try to eat healthy. Another item that I’ve added to my morning routine is drinking one tablespoon of Carmel Berry Company’s fresh-pressed elderberry syrup. Did you know that communities around the world have used the elderberry for its potent nutritional benefits … [Read more...]

Real Mom of SFV would like to acknowledge that without the labor of the actors who are currently on strike, films such as this would not be possible. As a Disney fan, I was excited to see how Disney’s “Haunted Mansion” would be translated to the big screen. It is, after all, based on the ride at Disneyland. Now this isn’t the first iteration of … [Read more...]

Love Goodly_Aug-Sept Beauty Box

Last month I attended a beauty conference in downtown Los Angeles. I was introduced to a lot of skincare and make-up brands. It was interesting to see how things were packaged and what colors were on trend. However, as I’ve gotten older, it’s important to me that I use products that have minimal ingredients because my skin can be sensitive to certain ingredients. There are so many choices when it comes to cosmetics and sometimes it’s confusing or … [Read more...]
