Are you the next Total Woman of the year?

by

Are you the Total Woman?  Nominate a friend, sister, mother, or even yourself to be the Total Woman of the Year!  Total Woman Gym & Day Spa is offering the winner a FREE fitness and spa membership for a year!  There will be 11 lucky women chosen, one at each of their locations.  The winner will receive one-year of unlimited access to the gym plus one spa service per month.  I was lucky enough to visit the Encinitas location Tuesday for a tour and massage.  Walking into Total Woman Gym & Day Spa feels like walking into a spa not a gym, it is peaceful with the slight aroma of lavender. When you think of a gym typically you do not think beautiful, however this is not  just a gym it is a gym and spa for WOMEN.  The first thing that struck me is obviously there were no men, but more than that they really built this gym for women.  More of the machines we use regularly and all the machines are calibrated for a woman’s body.  There is a full Pilates studio with three reformers, an ARC trainer similar to an elliptical, but with better results in less time.  There is also a full list of classes from belly dancing to yoga, and unlike most gyms these classes are held everyday.

Visit the Total Woman Gym & Day Spa website to nominate someone special to be the Total Woman of the year.  After nominating someone you will receive a free two-week membership ($50 value) to use at any of the locations.  With a dozen convenient locations in California there is sure to be one close to you.  The convenient locations are in Brea, Encinitas, Glendale, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Mission Valley, Northridge, Placentia, Studio CIty, Torrance, Westlake Village and Woodland Hills.

There are tons of online shopping rebates, but this is the first time I have seen one for eating out!  I don’t have to make dinner?  You had me at eating out, sign me up!  Mogl gives you 10% cash back at any of the participating restaurants.  It really is that easy!  Sign up, eat out, receive cash back!  I know some of us are a little weary to give out our credit card number online, however this is only to track where you spend money and to give you money back!  A friend of mine told me about this months ago and just finally invited me and I’m excited to share it with you now!  To sign up go here.

The entire month of October kids are free at the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park.  The price for a child admission is normally $30, what a huge savings!  This would be a great (and really inexpensive) birthday party  idea if your child has a birthday in October.  We love walking around the Zoo, the kids especially love watching all the animals. For more information on this amazing special offer click here, or see the fine print below.

Fine Print:  Each year, from October 1–31, in honor of our Zoo’s founding, children ages 3–11 are admitted free to the Zoo and Safari Park when accompanied by an adult.  The Zoo’s Guided Bus Tour and the Skyfari Aerial Tram are not included with Kids’ Free 1-Day Pass and must be purchased separately at the Zoo.  The Safari Park’s Africa Tram Safari and the Conservation Carousel are not included with Kids Free 1-Day Pass and must be purchased separately at the Park.
