Sanoviv: Day One

1. Flew from Oakland in to San Diego. We, of course, went immediately to the Amex lounge at the airport and tried to eat as much of every single verboten thing at Sanoviv. :-) 2. As soon as we got into San Diego, we were greeted by Ernie from Sanoviv. We sped through the border […]


Acid, with a side of Death, please? Haylie Pomroy The Burn

Yeah yeah yeah. Me again. Trying to lose weight again. What’s new? Well THIS time, my family is going to do it with me. (Well, that’s what we thought.

Campus cafeterias are full of temptations, from all-you-can-eat buffets to twice-daily desserts. But I learned how […]
