Last night I drove 80 miles south to have dinner with my college friends and to celebrate my friend Gloria’s birthday. Everyone is scattered and living all over Southern California, so the good half way point for everyone was the PF Chang’s restaurant in Carlsbad. (I was just there shopping last week). The drive wasn’t […]
The day started out really foggy. This was how the road looked on my way to meet my friends before the race. I stayed warm before the race wearing this cool sweater from Lululemon (clearance) that has a hole for my ponytail. The hoody stayed in place and kept my head warm. My friends Gaby and […]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I am up early today to run at the beach. Oh yes, I am running under the sun, bright and early today at a 10K (hmmm, that rhymes). Today’s forecast calls for mid 70s. This is my second year running at the Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 10K. I love the […]
To keep my workout from being boring, I am always looking for new cardio routines. I’ll try them at the gym and will repeat the ones I love. Currently,I have about four HIIT workouts that I’ve printed and keep in my gym bag. I found a few workouts from a recent Shape magazine, the one where […]

We went to both Knott’s Scary Farm and Universal Studios Horror Nights. Unfortunately the only pictures that survived are from […]

Recipe for cabbage stir fry, tofu cabbage stir fry
I loved documenting my life (hello blog!) and what prevents me from doing it more often is the time it takes to do it. I’m always finding ways to do a shortcut, but I want to do shortcuts only if I also love the end results. This post was inspired by a post I saw […]
I used to be indecisive, until I had baby. When you are a new mom, there is no time for being indecisive, you just do it and hope it will be good enough. It is good enough, because it was your best at the moment. So pre-baby, I used to take weeks to decide […]
Because there are no words to describe the beauty of this place, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Pearl Farm was the most secluded island we stayed in during our honeymoon. It felt like a private beach playground. Watching the sunrise. Happy Friday!!

I wish my workout this morning was fun under the sun. But it’s another hot day so instead, it was fun under the shade. Actually it was more like, go walk under trees kind of day. I didn’t feel like running today but I still wanted to be active. So I headed out to the […]
