Miles and I shaped up for summer at the Muscle Milk Fitness Retreat, which took place first in Beverly Hills and then at Venice Beach during the first couple of weeks of summer. Hollywood celebrities like Jaime Pressly, Kat Von D, and Brooke Mueller also attended the retreat. We had fun!  Some of the best local personal trainers offered a series of exciting workouts, everything from supermodel sculpting to circuit training to rock bottom body training.

I don’t usually bring Miles to exercise class with me but celebrity fitness expert LaReine Chabut taught a Mommy and Me class for moms and expectant moms so he got to attend his first exercise class with me.  It turns out, Miles loves to get his stretch on!

Hey Divas! Check out the roundup photos from the  “Endless Summer” Primetime Emmy Suite” was held at the world-famous Gonpachi of Beverly Hills. Executive Chef Kudosan of Gonpachi of Beverly Hills offered delightful and delicious Asian cuisine, including delectable shrimp balls surrounded by crispy noodles; sushi (always a hit), chicken in a yummy sweet’n sour sauce, veggie tempura, and lots more. It was the perfect fare for a hot summer day.

Many celebs stopped to rest in Gonpachi’s fabulous open air bar where they sipped on Waialua Soda Works. Some opted to mix these refreshing drinks with the oh-so-smooth new Pau Maui Vodka from the Islands, which we learned was distilled with pineapple. And speaking of things cool and refreshing, guests could “cool off” with NitroCream, truly delicious, hand-made ice cream, gelato, and sorbet (dairy and non-dairy), that was made right on the spot.

Some of my favorite brands that were showcased at the event were:

Emilie Sloan- great versatile totebags!

CardioBarre

Antonia’s Nuts
