Now I have a beautiful plant that adorns my home & is relatively low-maintenance. Petaloom delivers … [Read more...]

I’m Not Using the Potty PeepAndEgg_Cover

If you ask parents, potty training is one of the biggest challenges they face with their toddlers. I remember when my daughter was in preschool & in order to move up to the next class level, she had to be potty trained. We read storybooks about going to the potty, but she was nervous about using it. My kiddo’s preschool teacher really worked with her to overcome her fear. Plus I used candy to reward her for using the toilet. Then voilà…she … [Read more...]

Titika Active EvolvCycle_outfit

Titika Active Couture hosted a fun fitness event last Friday at EvolvCycle in Studio City. I’m a big fan of indoor cycling classes & I was excited to try out EvolvCycle. It’s been open for almost 2 years, but I haven’t made out to this part of the Valley yet for spinning classes. After checking in at the front desk & signing a waiver, I was handed a complimentary pair of cycle shoes. Yay, free cycle shoes! There are some cycle … [Read more...]

Black Panther is Powerful & Action-Packed!

Black Panther Title Page

“Black Panther” is generating a lot of buzz. Recently I watched an early screening & I have to say that it lived up to the hype! I walked into the movie without any clue about the characters or their origin stories. None of that matters! The movie does a really good job of diving in, introducing the key players & giving you the 411 of Wakanda (a fictional country on the continent of Africa). Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” … [Read more...]
