I recently attended my friend Lora’s surprise Bridal Shower at the beautiful Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant in San Diego. Aren’t purple and silver great colors for fall? These are the wedding colors and they fit perfectly for the fall season. But during the Bridal Shower, we were still having summer weather and was surrounded by […]
It’s another scorcher of a week here in SoCal. This year I’m really looking forward to Fall season, more than I’ve done in years past, but it looks like Summer wants to stay awhile longer. I’m normally an outdoorsy girl, but lately, I’ve been overheating from the 100 degrees weather we are having and opted […]
We had a lot of weddings in our calendar this year. I was really excited for the summer weddings by the beach. In July, we drove north along the coast to Santa Barbara. This was the first beach wedding we attended since our own beach wedding last year. Lots of great memories flooded our minds […]

My workout this morning was a challenging one. My muscles have been missing the muscle burn. For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying more cardio type of workouts….running, hiking and indoor gym workouts. I wanted to try something new to get back into strength training and this DVD is new to me. I’ve […]
I had a lovely run at the park this morning. I am trying to run consistently so I can get back my running mojo. I seem to lose running steam whenever I don’t do it consistently. I have been spending time at the gym or hiking this past summer and Fall season seems to be […]
Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl watching Planet Earth Live was really fun. It was my first time going to the venue and I’m glad I finally went and even better, went to a Planet Earth Live event. We saw spectacular footage from the BBC television series Planet Earth, first time high-def is being shown […]
As a new mom, my philosophy on fitness has changed, it is much less about a workout, and much more about a lifestyle. I want to feel strong and feeling good, and more importantly, I want to have fun no matter where I am. It took awhile to get to this place and I appreciate […]
My living room this past weekend looked like a wedding central galore. Now, everything is put together and will be boxed today ready for Puerto Vallarta. Besides our luggage and possibly 2 boxes we are checking in, I will be carrying-on my wedding dress on the flight on Friday. I’ve got to make sure it’s […]
After my family’s Christmas Eve party, I woke up early on Christmas Day ready to greet the day 🙂 I was the first one to wake up. So I made a pot of coffee and sat down near the fireplace and just relaxed. Ahhhhh, I love the smell of Christmas and being surrounded by […]
I travelled to Portland in January and I sorted thru my pictures recently to work on my travel album. I realize I didn’t want to print every picture I took, or the album would come out too thick once finished. Then I got to thinking, I could post a ton of pictures on the blog […]
