Healthy Aspirations for a New Year!

As December wraps up our year in 2011, many people begin to focus on new goals regarding their fitness and health routines! Many studies over the years, so many that the average doctor will agree that a person’s outlook is the biggest determinant of progression in any illness, have proven that happy people live longer lives!

Did you notice “healthy” and “happy” usually come as a pair of adjectives?

The mind-body connection is inexplicably linked. The stronger in health you are, the easier it is to be happy. Aches and pains or worries that weigh your shoulders down distract you from what’s really important. Happiness and Health are states of being that founder/ Owner, of Healthy Aspirations San Diego, Stacy Lewis Simons had in mind when she started her health and wellness consulting business.

"Stacy graduated from Emory University in 1986 with a degree in Nursing. She later went on to received her certifications as Clinical Nutrition Consultant and Clinical Master Herbologist from the Natural Healing Institute (www.NaturalHealingInst.com) in Encinitas, California and Health & Wellness Coaching training from Wellcoaches (www.WellCoaches.com).

She has worked with a wide variety of health issues including heart health, high bloo

d pressure, diabetes, pre-diabetes, stroke and TIA's, migraines, arthritis, over-eating, weight-loss, anxiety, cancer, fatigue, IBS, colitis, nutritional deficiencies, food allergies and intolerances, exercise plans, asthma, hormone imbalances and pre-mature aging.

She is working with patients now to prevent and manage health problems through lifestyle approaches such as diet, exercise, yoga, meditation, homeopathy, aromatherapy, acupressure and low-level laser treatments.

Stacy is also an Aesthetic Specialist and Nurse Injector of Botox, Dyport, Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm at MedSpa XL (www.MedSpaXL.com)." With such an extensive background and achievements, Stacy is definitely a leader in health and wellness!

My Big Fat Greek Bistro

Who doesn't like Greek food? Gyros, Tzatziki, Hummos...what's not to like? There simply aren't enough good Greek restaurants around San Diego. When I find one, I make sure to tell the gang.

Well, I've found one. Apollonia Greek Bistro located on Genessee in La Jolla has my taste buds tingling. The cuisine of Apollonia allow natural flavors to emerge and stimulate the senses. They have refined some traditional favorites into a repertoire of much lighter dishes by reducing the fat content while retaining the zest, tempting aromas and robust flavors that are hallmarks of Greek fare.

Their exciting menu is designed to accommodate both vegetarian and omnivorous diners. They encourage you to enjoy some of the authentic dishes that their generous menu offers. Included are age-old favorites such as Dolmathakia and Moussaka, alongside some absolute surprises guaranteed to tantalize your adventurous curiosity.

It is the perfect place to take someone special. They will also give you a FREE entree when you but another entree of equal or greater value and two beverages! Now that's how you save money and eat good!

It's not very often that I get to promote a sushi restaurant. Pretty ironic considering how much I love sushi. I assume you enjoy your fair share as well. Finally we've chosen an awesome spot in the UTC area of La Jolla to brag about. It's called KI Sushi & Sake Bar. Ever heard of it?

Original rolls and prime happy hour specials. 30% off sushi rolls, super cheap appetizers, and super cheap drinks. It's an awesome spot to go for lunch if you work anywhere in the La Jolla or Miramar area. The staff is really nice and they whip up your food super quick.

The Top 5 Places to Take Visitors in San Diego

To make a long story short, I'm from San Diego and I went to college in Philadelphia, PA. As you can imagine, I've had a lot of visitors over the years. I can't help but invite everyone I meet to come check out my city. I've given tours to at least 20 different people from across the country. I love it. I talk up S.D. a little too much, but I back it up.

I've decided to make a short list of the absolute must see spots in San Diego to show off to your visiting friends and family. This is a family-friendly list. Of course I want to talk about all the great party scenes and nightlife hotspots, but we'll save that for another day. In no particular order, here is my list:

1. Old Town

Considered the "birthplace" of California, Old Town San Diego is a beautiful, historic Mexican settlement right outside of Downtown. Today, it's a very lively spot that's popular for dinner and afternoon walks alike. There are great restaurants, museums, and shops to entertain the best of us. The Old Town Mexican Cafe is honestly the most legitimate Mexican restaurant in San Diego. Cute older ladies actually make corn tortillas right in front of you as you wait to be seated. There's also a great bar there. It's the real deal. Here's a Locallife coupon for your next visit. The Whaley House, across the street, was rated the #1 Most Haunted House in America by the Travel Channel.

2. La Jolla Cove

As soon as you pull up to the cliffs in La Jolla, visitors are bound to be in awe. La Jolla Cove overlooks a stretch of cliffs heading north which you can see for nearly ten miles. There is actually a great underwater snorkling/scuba park with lots of fish and wildlife for the adventurous. You can go kayaking there as well. Also, there's a seal beach right in the middle of the cove too. Seals and their pups play in the waves right next to you, as comfortable as can be. It's an awesome place. Right up the hill is Prospect Street. It's a ritzy stretch of road with some of the most amazing restaurants and designer stores. The Karl Strauss
Brewery is there as well. It's a great local restaurant and micro
brew. Their beers are sooo good.

3. Balboa Park

Museums, history, culture. Art, gardens, mummy's. Balboa Park takes you back to another time. The buildings remind me of Spain. You can spend an entire day there. It won't disappoint. There isn't much I need to say.






4. Coronado Island

Coronado Island is your obvious tourist destination. It's picturesque and very family oriented. It used to be a hotspot for actors and actresses in the early 1900's. Marilyn Monroe, the Prince of Wales, Babe Ruth; it has quite the mystique. The Hotel Del Coronado is the face of the island. It has been around for 120 years and it is still the number one sight to see. Coronado is definitely a great place to show off to relatives and friends alike.

5. Mt. Soledad

Easily the most epic view of the Southern California coastline and my favorite destination in San Diego to expose to visitors, Mt. Soledad has no rival. You and your friends are guaranteed to be taken back once you reach its 360 degree viewpoint of San Diego. Downtown, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Del Mar, the Pacific Ocean, and even Mexico are visible from the top. It's breathtaking. Sunsets from up there are absolutely awesome.





I love San Diego.

Save Some Text

You know how schools really get you good? Book sales. The prices of books these days are insane. It's almost discouraging. My poor mom spent thousands on books for me when I was an undergrad. I feel terrible about it now. Especially when I realized that there's a way to get around this burden.

Here's a genius concept...book rentals. Why buy them new or even used when you can simply rent them for the semester? I'm so mad I didn't know about this until after college. The company is CougarBookRentals.com and they will help you rent your textbooks online and quickly deliver them right to your door for a fraction of the cost of purchasing them new. So easy. So cheap.

The K9 Specialists

I love dogs. Period. They never judge you, no matter how weird you are. They protect you day in and day out and you are always safe with them by your side.

I grew up with a German Sheppard named Sandi. She was the smartest, most caring animal I have ever known. She was a protector and the love of my family. She would pull me on my skateboard for blocks, while I cruised behind her. She was so smart, she eventually learned how to open door knobs with her jaw!

K9's are a very intelligent breed. Sometimes, they can be unknowingly aggressive around other dogs or people, all in the name of love for their owners. Sandi was like that. We never got her properly trained and it would have been nice not to worry about her reactions around others. If you own a K9, you may have experienced this common problem as well.

It's really easy to fix the problem now-a-days. San Diego K9 Dog Training is just the group to help. Their experienced trainers come directly to your home, address all the problems your dog may be having (jumping, pulling on leash, aggressiveness, social issues), and fix them. Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back!

Call them now and use their amazing offer:
$60 for private in-home dog training at San Diego K9 Training in Chula Vista. Regularly $80!
