Favorite new workout class? The RealRyder Cycling Studio, in Brentwood – Tara spins her wheels!

That’s right all you spinning fanatics, there’s a new bike in town, and it rocks! I have taught everything from old school step and high intensity aerobics to kick boxing and hip-hop. For some reason I could never really get in the spinning zone. Until now. The best thing about the REAL RYDER CYCLING CLASS is that the bikes move like real bikes! The stationary bike leans from side to side and the handle bars turn right and left, just like your riding on the road. Not only do you feel more flexible and mobile on this bike, but you actually get a killer core workout. Because of this extra movement, every time the instructor had us lean our bikes to turn a corner, boy did my abs feel a burn. Plus, the workout class boasts to burn 20% more calories compared to stationary bike. Sold!

This is the evolution of spinning and if you are a bike enthusiast or spinner, you are going to love it! It’s rumored that Rihanna has her own personal RealRyder bike that she uses with celebrity trainer Ary Nunez. And the boys of “Entourage” Adrian Grenier and Kevin Connolly are also huge fans.

Right now the only class in town is at RealRyder Cycling Studio in Brentwood. The perfect location to sweat it out, and grab a guilt free bite with friends. Be one of the first in LA to become a RealRyder fan by checking out the schedule here. This bike movement is going to be huge!

JAGGER EDGE RESCUES NATASHA’S iPHONE FROM FASHION SUICIDE

At a wine tasting last night, coffee at Aroma this morning, then soccer practice this afternoon, there’s rarely a moment I’m without my most beloved companion. A tried and true friend I can literally call on day and night, she’s always there for me. When I’m lost, she finds my way. When I’m down in the dumps, she takes me shopping. She gets my butt out of bed, helps me make a gourmet breakfast, goes on a hike with me, helps me pick the perfect nail color, gets me a front row seat to all the top runway shows, and even carries pictures of my kids. She’s perfect! Well, almost…

Despite my best efforts, my iPhone has absolutely zero sense of style. As cool as she is on the inside, she a total bore on the outside.

Until now.

Thanks to a killer new iPhone cover from Jagger Edge – my favorite is black leather with gold studding ($92) — I am, for the first time, proud to be seen with my cutting-edge trend-setting friend.

Available for the iPhone 3 or 4, the Jagger Edge cover comes in an array of leather, animal print, faux wood and denim, and it has lots of edgy hardware options. It’s the perfect accessory in a modern world. The Jagger Edge iPhone cover is like a hip, in-the-know assistant to my celebrity status handbag. Unlike the usual plastic or rubber iPhone cases you see in the mall, these cases practically scream rock ‘n’ roll cool and effortless style. You want to be their friend. You would be so lucky.

In a world run by technology, it’s literally impossible to keep up without a smart phone. I’m so happy I can now do it in style. You should, too.

Pong and Squeet – Yah, you heard me. PONG AND SKWEET. Two L.A. musts.

October 11, 2010

I’ve just discovered two items that are L.A.-centric must-haves for health and cleanliness!

One is SKWEET SPORT BOTTLE WASH. Being a work-out and water guzzling junkie, I am never without my water bottles. I rotate a good 5 of them. And the reason I do so is because they often start smelling funky and start to gross me out – to quote my inner teen. Then I discovered this amazing little scrub made just for this reason. Skweet naturally, easily and effectively eliminates soapy residue that build up from endlessly trying to clean these little germ buckets. As they say “you clean it once and you clean it right.” It’s a biodegradable, non-toxic powder – you just put a drop in your bottle, shake it up and rinse. That easy. Squeaky clean and smelling oh so good, you’re good to go. Good for plastic, aluminum and stainless steel.

You can buy it here $8.99 for a 6 0z. tub.

And then there’s PONG.

All the rage right now in the techie world.

The bottom line, one of these covers on your cell phone cuts down cell radiation by 60%.

My brain is hurting just thinking that cell phone use may (or may not) cause permanent radiation damage.

The adorable iPhone case is only $39. 95.

Why take a risk with radiation on YOUR BRAIN?!

Low price to pay for peace of mind, dontcha’ think?

Also avail for Blackberry Curve and iPhone 3G.

Here are the hard facts about the technology if you wanna know more:

Radiation is a form of energy. Your cell phone antenna emits powerful radiation in order to send and receive signals to and from the wireless network. The hazard is that the antenna also radiates its energy into your headspace. Click Here to find out more about the every day changes you can make to the ways in which you use your cell phone, to help you avoid this danger.

Pong uses a patented physics-based solution to redirect the flow of this energy.

Through the proven science of passive antenna coupling, Pong channels the radiation through its laddered ‘chimney’ up and away from your head. Full signal strength is maintained, so your phone’s function and battery life are not compromised.

Once redirected, the harmful radiation quickly dissipates and poses no threat to you or those around you.

THE PONG EFFECT: HOW IT WORKS

Antenna – the Source of Radiation
Without Pong, your cell phone antenna emits radiation in all directions, both to the outside and toward your head.
Transfer of Energy
The Pong technology module, optimally aligned with the phone’s internal antenna, attracts the radiative energy. The Pong Effect occurs as a pure energy transfer with no distortion due to the properties of the module material and microwave-tuned antenna design.
Chimney Effect
The unique “ladder” configuration of the Pong module moves the signal and its hazardous radiation through the Pong case like a chimney, and away from the user.
Full Signal Strength
The Pong module redirects cell phone radiation while maintaining full signal strength. You may find that your communication efficiency actually improves with the use of the Pong case.

MY BLOW – Natasha hits this Bev Hills blow-dry bar for a quickie

Headed to a premiere with no time to primp, I popped into MyBlow LA, a blow dry bar smack dab in the middle of Beverly Hills. I returned emails and sipped on champagne while my stylist turned out some effortless waves. At just $35, it’s a great deal for a girl on the go.
