Cindy the beautiful bride

My stunning friend Cindy is getting married in just a few weeks in a church near my old apartment in Boston. With the unpredictable weather and cold beaches of New England she decided to do some bridal portraits before the wedding. She is a dream to photograph and I can't wait til after the wedding when we can do a Trash the Dress session. Stay tuned!





B13 vistis LFI to see BB

A class of first graders from Scripps Ranch Elementary came to visit Life Force and learning about making Body Balance. They toured the facility then got dressed up in their GMP approved gear and got messy with some seaweed and Aloe vera to make their own "Body Balance". Everyone had a really fun time and the teachers want to bring another class to visit soon.

YSC Event for Women's Sexual Health

Last November I participated in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk here in San Diego. It was an epic journey. Emotionally, physically and mentally exhausting. My team, The A Cuppers, raised almost $7,000 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. While I look forward to participating in this event again, I don't think it will happen for another few years. I was looking for other ways to get involved with supporting the fight against cancer and I found this lovely group of ladies - The Young Survival Coalition of San Diego. They are women under the age of 40 who have survived breast cancer. A few of them were diagnosed before they even turned 30. They are a brilliant, warm and fun group of ladies to be around and their dedication to the cause is inspiring. They lead support groups for young breast cancer patients and also put on educational events, such as this one I attended. The topic of women's sexual health is still a little taboo and most oncologist simply were not taught anything about it in medical school. The side effects of cancer treatment can be devastating to a women's sexual health so the YSC worked with Dr. Goldstein of San Diego Sexual Medicine to put on this incredible and informative event - Women's Sexual Health While Surviving Cancer.

The bright blue polo shirts worn by Angela and Amanda are available at the YSC site with all proceeds going to the YSC.
