About last night. . .

Last night we attended opening night of “Some Like It Hot!” hosted by Broadway San Jose. It was such an amazing production! I love the music, the costumes, and the comedic moments. It was such a fun show!

We arrived early in order to enjoy a glass of wine before the show. It was so nice to go out on a weekday-it breaks up the week! haha, love that!

There’s nothing like Broadway. So, I love that fact that we have traveling Broadway shows right here in San Jose in a beautiful venue known for its architecture. I highly recommend catching “Some Like It Hot!” before it travels away!

You can find ticket info at BroadwaySanJose.com.

Fall fitness routine

It’s fall! This means moving my workouts mainly indoors and working hard to stay on track. In addition, my fitness gear is getting a little bit cozier so I can properly warm up for my workout.

When temperatures go down, I like to have a cozy sweatshirt and longer leggings so my muscles stay warm and aren’t stiff when my workout begins. It helps to be warm for warm-up! Also, it is good to switch up your workout sneakers every six months in order to ensure proper fit and support. Loving these new sneakers from Nike!

As far as my workout routine goes, it isn’t much different from summer with the exception of sticking to inside fitness versus hiking and outside walks.

  • Monday: BodyCombat (cardio)
  • Tuesday: Rest
  • Wednesday: Spin (cardio)
  • Thursday: HIIT (Cardio and strength, interval)
  • Friday: POP Pilates (Strength and core)
  • Saturday: Rest
  • Sunday: Spin, BodyPump, Core (cardio and strength)

Well, that’s my fall fitness routine and I try hard to stick with it. If weather permits, I will try to throw in something outside; especially on a Saturday.

I hope you have a fabulous fall fitness schedule and stay warm!

Thanks for stopping by!

Zara Cocoa Sunset edp review

Did you know Zara sells perfume? This was totally new information to me a few weeks ago. I can’t believe I didn’t know; especially since I love shopping there! But, I digress. . . let’s chat about this gourmand fragrance from Zara!

Zara Cocoa Sunset edp is a sweet gourmand which is filled with bakery scents. Zara doesn’t break down which notes are top, middle, and base, but they do list them out for us. The main notes in Cocoa Sunset edp include whipped cream, milk chocolate, passion fruit, vanilla, and peach. When I first sprayed Cocoa Sunset edp, I immediately noticed the whipped cream and vanilla. As for the fruity notes, I did not detect them. This eau de parfum acted like a true gourmand and was sweet, without being too sweet, for the full day.

I am always suspicious of scents which are priced low. Zara Cocoa Sunset edp is priced under $50 for the 100ml bottle. I was surprised at how good the fragrance smelled. It did not smell like a perfume priced under $50. Love that!

Another note: Zara Cocoa Sunset edp is long lasting. One spray was perfect and lasted from 7am until 10pm when I hit the hay. This is good news because I find it annoying when a fragrance doesn’t last. This one lasts! Love!

Cocoa Sunset edp is reminiscent of the gourmand fragrances we enjoyed back in the 1990s. I love that it only needs one spray to last all day. This is a fabulous gourmand fragrance, and I find myself reaching for it often.

Since Zara Cocoa Sunset edp is a warm gourmand, it is perfect in cooler weather. This is the perfect edp to wear now during the fall season, and throughout winter, the holidays and earl spring. It will also make a great gift this holiday season. Love that!

Stay tuned for more fragrance reviews!
