Oops! We did it again! It’s only been 7 weeks since Arleena and I last visited Murray Hill (otherwise known as the Unnamed Hill)/ Reservoir Canyon Trail. I cannot believe we chose to do the other side – and on a sweltering 90-degree sunny day no less! The last time we ventured up this […]...

This week Arleena and I revisited Cerro San Luis (or San Luis Mountain). Back in week 12, Arleena and I made a wrong turn on this trail that only got us to the M on this mountain which about ¾ of the way up to the top. Needless to say we were a bit bummed […]...

Have you noticed all the store ads and emails coming in with bathing suits on sale? I don’t know about you, but I am definitely not looking forward to putting one of those on any time soon. While the Winter cold makes it easy to cover up, the Spring and Summer don’t. For me, I […]...

It seems that every week or so some researcher rings the alarm over what vitamins and supplements are right and wrong for people to take. It can be maddening to hear that a vitamin or supplement you were told were safe last month are now all but toxic this month. It’s even worse when you […]...

It’s hard to believe that Spring is already here. With Spring comes more trips to the doctor due to ear infections, colds, allergies, and more. My kids have health insurance, but I don’t, so when it comes to going to the doctor, it can add up pretty fast. Thanks to American Well, I can visit […]...

I will be one of the first to admit that I rarely turn the can or jar over and look at the facts. I normally purchase based on previous brand experience (usually brands I grew up with or know are high quality) and sale price. If it’s on sale, I stock up on it. If […]...

When we think about caring for our skin, we most often think about our face, neck, arms, elbows, legs, and feet. But do we think about our armpits? Uh, I would have to say no to that. When I think of caring for my skin, I don’t ever think of my armpits! I do think […]...

Let me blunt – sore throats stink! With a sore throat, it’s uncomfortable to swallow and to talk. When sore throats happen, I want relief – stat! When you can’t wait to get rid of a sore throat, you look for a name you trust for fast, effective relief: Chloraseptic®. So what are the symptoms of […]...

Sometimes I find it difficult to get motivated. Week 14 was one of those weeks. Arleena and I needed to switch up our scheduled hiking day when we heard the rain forecasted for the week. I never thought of myself as a girl who likes her schedules, but when it comes to my workouts […]...

Last week, Arleena and I climbed a mountain – literally – we climb a freaking mountain!!! In all my years since I’ve lived here on the Central Coast, I’ve always looked at Bishop’s Peak saying, “one day, I’ll hike up that mountain.” And I cannot even tell you how accomplished I feel for completing that […]...

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with this past week’s hike. Arleena chose for us to hike the Stenner Creek Trail; I think mostly due to being one of the closer and shorter trails on our list. In the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains near Cal Poly, the Stenner Creek Trail is […]...

Objective: Hike at least once a week. Whether the hikes are big or small, long or short, with or without kids, I want to actively engage my body and enjoy this beautiful world we live in. There are so many places to go (free places to boot) that I want to explore them all. The […]...

If the shoe choice is not proper for your feet, it can lead to a range of issues beyond just discomfort. Ill-fitting shoes can result in cramping, blisters, and even chronic pain in the feet, ankles, knees, […]...

When I was a little girl, I would constantly hear the nickname, “Skinny Minny.” Well, three beautiful boys and 34 years later, I find that I don’t really fit that same nickname. Life has caught up with me. I have hips, love handles and have even become somewhat insecure about certain “fatty” areas of my […]...
