Broadway San Jose hosted a fun Throwback Party at Pruneyard Cinemas in Campbell to celebrate the upcoming performance of Some Like It Hot! October 21-26 in San Jose. It was so much fun to meet fellow Broadway fans and get a chance to see the original movie starring Marilyn Monroe on the big screen.

The event featured a delicious buffet, live jazz music, signature drinks, and vintage vibes. It was amazing to see the movie on the big screen. I have seen it on TV many times, but never a large screen. I never thought I would see a classic movie in the theater; it was such an amazing opportunity and definitely a bucket list item! Love!

If you haven’t seen the Marilyn Monroe movie, definitely watch it on TV! Also, be sure to snap up tickets for Some Like It Hot, the Broadway show, at Broadway San Jose before they sell out! This is going to be a popular show!!

Head over to BroadwaySanJose.com for tickets and information.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you love the show!

Top of Mt Tam

Have you ever been to the top of Mt Tam? If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, and you can handle few twisty roads, what are you waiting for? When you reach the top of Mt Tam, you can see spectacular views of Marin and the bay. If you’re lucky, you will see the fog rolling in like a luxurious blanket enveloping you in comfort and relief from the summer heat.

This is your cue to make sure you have a full tank of gas, and to head up the mountain for some hiking, serenity, local history, and breathtaking beauty. To achieve this, I recommend going in the morning on a weekday; avoid weekends at all costs.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy this Bay Area staycation idea!

Fall fitness routine 2025

School starts this week! This means going back to my fitness routine that fits into the school year schedule. As a parent, we still need to be mindful of the school schedule, even though our kids drive, and are at school during the day. I try to get everything done while my kids are in class so that when they come home, I am free to help them as needed.

I fell off the no sugar wagon this summer. So, in addition to my fitness routine, I need to stop eating foods with added sugars and watch my red meat intake. Other than that, my workouts are roughly the same; although I am trying to add a yoga session for the fall season.

It is important to have a mix of cardio, interval, strength training, core, and stretching each week. This schedule should hopefully give me a good mix of these elements.

Monday: BodyCombat (cardio)

Tuesday: 30 min walk (rest)

Wednesday: Spin (cardio)

Thursday: HIIT (interval cardio)

Friday: Weights and 30 min treadmill (strength and cardio)

Saturday: Yoga (stretching and core)

Sunday: Spin, BodyPump (cardio, strength, core)

I might add a weight session on Wednesday because I feel like I have it loaded at the end of the week. I would like to spread out, or even out, my routine. For now, this is what fits into my fall schedule. If I adjust it, I will update you! What is your fall fitness routine this year?

Thanks for stopping by!
