Gourmet Meals on Wheels in LA

If someone asked me a few years ago to go grab a meal at a roach coach, I would have thought you were temporarily insane and replied, "GROSS, lunch from a roach coach!". For the past few years the roach coach obsession has been hitting the streets of Los Angeles and have transformed into gourmet meals on wheels. It's the new "fast food" dining experience and be prepared to wait in long lines for good food that is reasonably priced. The true aficionados are always in the know where to find the best tacos, mouth watering grilled cheese, delicious cupcakes, and korean bbq. Most of theses mobile food trucks have twitter and facebook pages to give followers their daily locations.

My personal favorite is the grilled cheese truck, recently named the number one food truck in Los Angeles. Whether this a trend that will last, only time will tell, but in the meantime, I will take another double cream brie cheese sandwich!!

The Nature in Outdoor Workouts

Hiking In Los Angeles, CA

 

Summer is around the corner, so I ditch my 4" louboutins and lip gloss for lululemon gear and my comfy asics tennies. It's time to succumb to less that perfect hair and start making my clothes work as hard as I do. Why not take a hike or a brisk walk and embrace nature while you burn some calories. I love outdoor workouts because it challenges my body to inclines, declines and obstacles, while leaving behind the monotony of any indoor workout machine. And besides, I hate when I am sandwiched between 2 occupied machines as I get a collective whiff of body odor and sweat dripping on my machine. GROSS!!! Studies have shown that outdoor activities increases your mood and boosts your self-esteem. I'm in!! Hiking is much more appealing than any indoor workout because it mentally and physically stimulates me as I shed calories. Whether hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles, or taking a brisk walk in Central Park in New York City, outdoor workouts will beat boredom, boost confidence, and endurance and burn fat!!
