Hairy Fairy Tale

I may be a total abnormality, but I can NOT wait for my monthly brow and bikini wax! In that order of course ;) This excitement for getting my hair removed is twofold. I will never again be told i have caterpillars growing above my eyes and secondly because of my fantastic esthetician-JULIA!

Julia has an incredible talent. She has the gifts of waxing, tweezing, threading, and spray tanning - all of the essentials for any well kept marina girl. I have been going to Julia for over a year now and could NEVER go anywhere else.

Julia always makes my waxing experience so comfortable. I can be in and out of Benefit Cosmetics on Chestnut in 20 minutes for both my brow and bikini wax. This is amazing for any girl that needs a last minute touch up for an unexpected event, vacation, and/or date- we have all been there! Not only is Julia quick, but she is also a perfectionist (no hair left un-plucked) and in all honesty, 99% PAIN-FREE!! We all know there is going to be some pain. After all pain is beauty.

I have always left very pleased with the results of Julia's work. She makes what most would believe to be an awkward situation into something that is NEON PINK and STARRED on my calendar each month. She can sense when I need her to be a therapist and give advice or when I need to zone out and fall asleep while she is shaping my brows (that happened last week). I was so relaxed, I started to fall asleep -how many people can say their brow waxes are soothing?!?! I CAN!!

Living life without a Uni-Brow... SplishDeLish!!

Big Juicy Friday Tucks!

I LOVE THE DAILEY METHOD!!

You can find me at a Dailey Method class before work in the marina, during lunch time in downtown SF, or after work at either location any day of the week - I am obsessed!

As a former water polo player nicknamed "QUADzilla", I was searching for an exercise class to keep me in shape and also get my body back to a more feminine silhouette. The day came when my enlarged shoulders and freakishly big deltoids did not fit into a button-down shirt nor did my quads and/or calves allow me to zip my new fabulous leather boots up. It was def time to try Dailey.

The Dailey Method has the perfect amount of structure combined with creative instructors and fun, fast paced music. I was a bit of a skeptic going into my first class over two years ago, thinking to myself "how hard can a class with pink weights and no shoes be?!"

I was immediately hooked for 3 reasons. #1 Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake blasting in the background #2 My first instructor, Laura, telling the class to move our hips in circles and to make sure they are "BIG SEXY CIRCLES!" #3 My inability to open a Clearly Canadian (yes I still drink those) the next day.

I have learned exercise moves and positions called water ski, pretzel and happy baby. Do not be fooled by their seemingly cute names. All have taken my muscles to extreme failure causing my arms and legs to shake uncontrollably.

I immediately saw changes in my muscle arrangement, posture, and the way my clothes fit. I will be obsessed with The Dailey Method as long as they keep playing top 40 music and keep me fitting into my favorite fashion trends.

Being able to zip boots over my calves and jeans.... SplishDeLish!!

TACOLICIOUS - Say It Out Loud!

For a Jew-"ish" girl who was born, raised, and still resides in California; nothing can come closer to the heart than great mexican food at a fabulous price! The T-Lish Prix Fix is a daily and nightly offering. Not only is the name abbreviated (my all time favorite grammatical tool) but it rhymes too; making it all the more fun to SAY IT OUT LOUD!!
The T-Lish Prix Fix is comprised of a taco, a tacate, and a shot of tequila, all for $10! I order the "shot-and-a-beer braised petaluma chicken" taco with my prix fix, then proceed to the "split move" where I put half of the meat in the second corn tortilla that comes with the meal. Makes for the PERFECT meal for $10.

The menu comprises mainly of tacos, but has fab additions such as chupitos (fun word for shots and again great to SAY OUT LOUD), taco of the week, drunken beans, and the marina girl salad :)

Tacolicious has a fun vibe, great bartenders - Jeremy- known to give thumbs up and free chupitos, and most of all delicious food!
T-Lish is SplishDeLish!!
