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 […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]

I would like to document the days leading up to Christmas. Ideally it will be some sort of a daily journal and it will be called my December Daily (#leasdecemberdaily on Instagram) A picture a day, a quote a day, whatever I fancy…the goal is to document something everyday for the whole month of December. […]
On this day of love, I wanted to share with you one of the most romantic days in my life, the day the husband and I got engaged!! ************************************************************ Chris surprises me often with sweet gestures and small gifts, so I wasn’t shocked when he made a date for a romantic dinner that overlooked the […]
I’ve got seven weeks of wearing my wardrobe capsule and it’s clear which items are my favorite and will be carried over to the next capsule. I find myself gravitating towards wearing more dresses because they are so quick and easy to wear but I didn’t include a lot in this capsule, the 4-5 that […]
I am a having a great time baking and cooking. I’ve eaten a lot of traditional and also new (to me) foods. I have enjoyed eating and spending time with my family and friends the last few days. I survived the 3 meals during Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I […]
I am back home from my trip to San Francisco for a friends wedding. I loved everything about the weekend. The wedding was beautiful and emotional. We had a blast at the reception. Everyone was in a celebratory mood and it was great to hangout with my high school friends all over again. Most of […]
I was excited to be outdoors again today. It has been a chilly week and I’ve been a hermit. I get cold easily so when Chris said he was feeling cold (he usually runs hot), you can bet that I was freezing. Ok, not really freezing. That’s just the drama queen coming out of me. […]

SALONPAS is a pain patch with NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) medication you can put on your body for relief. So instead of taking an aspirin or ibuprofen, you can just put a […]
