I think I’ve let my sweet tooth blog for me this week. Tuesday, I showed you a really cute commercial for Lake Street Creamery and here I am again on Thursday talking about ice cream.

SmarterTravel.com recently asked their editors and readers about their favorite ice cream in all of America. Shops, shacks, and trucks from all over made the list but can you guess what city had the best Mobile Ice Cream…of course, LA! Check out what they had to say about Coolhaus…

Ice cream trucks have come a long way since the heyday of the Sno Cone. Cross paths with Los Angeles-based ice cream truck Coolhaus and you’ll be rewarded with a generously portioned and customizable ice cream sandwich. Mix and match freshly baked cookies and handmade ice cream in an edible wrapper.

 Ici in Berkely, California also made the list for the best organic ice cream.

Your Turn: Have you ever tried Coolhaus? Tell me about your experience…

Hybrid Workouts is a type of workout for those people who just can’t choose what kind of fitness class they want to take. It’s combining workouts such as indoor cycling and long runs or yoga and Pilates.

One type of hybrid workout that is very popular here in California is Piloxing. Piloxing is an hour-long class that mixes the Pilates and boxing together. You can benefit from the core and lengthening work of Pilates and the speed and agility training of boxing. 

The classes are offered at V Pilates in North Holllywood which is less than 5 minutes from Jefferson at Hollywood!

If you’ve tried Piloxing you may want to try the 9-hour training workshop where you can get intense training on the methodology, concepts and principles behind the class. The next class is on Sunday, Aug. 22 at the V Pilates.

Check out a little of what you will experience in the class…

Registration starts at 8:30am and instruction starts at 9:00am. Registration cost is $275 and that price includes…

It’s time for my weekly ‘Snack!’ For those of you who don’t know ‘The Snack’ is my version of ‘The Soup’ where I share one of my favorite clips from television or the web with you.

This weeks clip comes from the reality show “The Next Food Network Star.” Los Angeles food blogger Aarti Sequeira was crowned the Season 6 winner last week! 

Herb Mesa and Tom Pizzica, were great competition but  Aarti  had a relaxed, humorous style from the beginning.

Check out the pilot for Aarti Party…

Your Turn: Do you think the  judge’s made the right choice? Will you watch Aarti Party?

There is a new trend in the Spa industry, using locally grown fruit!  Visitors come from all over to go to the Ojai Valley Inn  in Southern California to get scrubed with Pixie Tangerines, a specially grown fruit in the area.

Other spas across the country are experimenting with locally grown fruits and herbs for skin treatments and massage therapies. 

This is one great way that consumers can support their local farmers and get a great experience at the same time.

Your Turn: Is this a type of spa treatment you would opt to get? Have you tried it before? Tell us about your experience…
