Hike Runyon Canyon: CHECK!

March 28, 2016 No Comments

Every time I visit LA I put “go to Runyon Canyon for a hike” on my to do list. That box remained unchecked for many years until a recent work trip to LA. I was very last minute … read: I booked an 8pm fight at 1pm and left work to go home and pack. After terrorizing my closet for 4 solid outfits, I ambitiously tossed a pair of sneakers and some work out gear in my carry on. Let’s just say I was uber grateful that I had just done laundry.

Runyon Canyon Park is a 160-acre public park that’s known for great hiking, nature trials and the occasional celebrity sighting. Get some much needed sunshine, burn a few calories, clear my head while enjoying unparalleled view of LA with the possibility of running into a reality “star” or a famous Jennifer (Lopez, Garner, Aniston, Hudson – either will do)? Yes! I am here for it.

New Delhi India

By the time I’d arrived in New Delhi, I had already been in India for 5 days. I was sick (combination of Delhi Belly and taking the wrong meds to get better) but the trip was almost over so I wanted to take in as much as I could. I rallied to see the city.

Delhi was fast paced like Mumbai but there was one portion of the trip that will remain in my memory forever

Life Hack: Self Massage

March 13, 2016 1 Comment

I probably shouldn’t admit this but … I could be convinced to do a lot of things for a really good massage. I always said if I ever hit the lotto, one of the top 10 things I would do is hire a massage therapist!

Well, I am not rich yet, and it gets pretty old asking my husband for a massage so a few years ago I purchased a massager from Brookestone. It was probably the 25th time I’d gone into Brookestone to kill time by trying all the massagers. Well, that time I actually found one I thought was awesome. It was powerful and the handle was long enough for me to reach the lower parts of my back, for $100 it was all mine.

Recently my colleague told me he’d been using a car buffer for self-massage, my ears perked up. I tried it and immediately went to my desk and ordered my own. $30 BOOM.
