Nik: The older a person gets, the faster the ass heads south. It’s not okay. You know what is okay? Circuit Works. I get so bored with gym workouts and kind of can’t stand classes, but this is the perfect place for my scattered mind. It’s an interval/circuit training workout that rotates through a series of stations combining aerobic and weight training exercises. The music is loud, the instructors motivating, and your mind is engaged because you’re quickly moving through the different stations.
New Year: Couch to 5K aka Get Beyonce’s Booty
Nik: Saw some buzz about this App online. Tried it. It’s genius. Love it.
Alex: You’re genius. I’ll check it out.
Fun is Tempting
Alex: I was waiting for my roomie Janae, she's a Minoqua Bat, to come home from work so we could go out and play. Our friend just flew in from New York and we all couldn't be more excited for the reunion. As I killed time until she got home, I started reading the book Chemistry of Calm. I was 17 pages in when it happened. Creativity struck and an idea for my pilot surfaced. ...
We’re Back!
Alex: Here is the mix of my latest Pacific Cruise CD!
Nik: Alex really is sorry that it’s 75 degrees here…
Pacific Cruise Playlist:
Use Me (Manic Focus Remix) – Bill Withers
Gorilla G-Mix – Bruno Mars Featuring R. Kelly & Pharrell
Do Me Now – K. Roosevelt & Hit-Boy
On Top (feat. T. Shirt) – Flume
Nik: Today it’s taking me to ‘END OF PILOT’ and then to the top of Temescal. This song will get you where you need to go… Happy Monday. Oh and play it loud.
Alex: Comin’ in hot with Music Monday!
I’m obsessed with… Songza
Alex: A lot of people have asked me how I discovered certain songs or where I find my music. A lot of my music I find from friends, soundcloud, etc., but one of my secrets is Songza. It plays the right music for any situation, it’s free, and has no audio ads. You pick what you’re doing and
Holiday Blues
Alex: This Thanksgiving was my first holiday away from home. There are some things I knew I wouldn’t miss like the clean up and cold weather. But there are a lot of things that I knew I would miss; my grandma’s perfectly mashed potatoes with a touch of garlic, the sound of papa’s electric knife cutting the turkey, football on the big screen, the array of desserts we could choose from after dinner, the festive ...
Happy Birthday Mentor!
Alex: Nik, I’m so lucky and thankful that our worlds have crossed paths. You inspire me in more ways than one. You make me laugh and you’re there for me when I cry. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met and the rock for so many people. I don’t know how you do it. Happy Birthday! I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays together! 
Geographically Desirable
Alex: Why does it have to be so difficult to meet up in this city!? I live on the west side, closer to the ocean, and the majority of people I have met or knew before I moved here live on the east side, closer to Hollywood or Studio City. At first the traffic didn’t bother me, but now it’s what is killing my friendships with people! That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to meet up with someone, but didn’t because of traffic. Forget crossing the 405 anytime between 2pm to 8pm. That leaves a small window of time to hang. It sucks! Don’t even bother trying to make dinner plans anymore. The only people I can see regularly are those I live with or those who live west of the 405. Sad face. Maybe
Park You
Alex: Parking enforcement does not mess around out here. In Wisconsin you could get away with a lot more! Today I went to Runyon to hike. It has such a different vibe than Temescal. Can’t complain though, I’m happy hiking anywhere. Whenever I’m this cheesy, I actually crave cheese. Is that weird? Anyway, I loved how many dogs were at Runyon. I felt like I was walking up a mountain, surrounded by puppies and a ...
