Your Personal Wellness Coach
05.18.17
Wellness coaches are the latest trend in health and fitness. You could say, they are even better than a personal trainer because they advise on all aspects of health, from custom eating plans to individual work-out routines. Author, certified Mayo Clinic wellness coach, National Academy of Sports Medicine-certified fitness nutrition specialist and National Academy of Sports Medicine-certified personal trainer, Lorie Eber, is one of only 20,000 certified wellness coaches in the U.S. today.
A re-careered corporate litigator who decided to pursue her passion for health at the age of 49, Lorie is known for her custom weight-loss plans— without the use of supplements or powders—and her “Tell it like it is” style honed through two decades in the law.
For Greer’s OC readers only, Lorie is offering a $100 discount on her eight-week program. The program, valued at $750 is just $650, and runs through the month of May. Please call 714 357-9946 or email EberLorie@gmail.com for more details. You can find out more about Lorie's program at lorieeberwellnesscoaching.com.
The program features a complete assessment of current health habits, personal weekly coaching sessions, formulation of a specific plan that meets objectives, My Fitness Pal weekly monitorings, daily health tips and more!

Beach Brellas Always Made in Shade
05.17.17
Just in time for your summer beach days, you need to know about this great local beach umbrella company. Local owner/designer Shelley Arends recently created the boutique brand Beach Brella Laguna Beach, to share her love of the SoCal beach lifestyle – surfing, relaxing, celebrating, soaking in the views, and always making time to put her toes in the sand.
The brand’s mantra: “MADE IN SHADE” sets the tone for these 60-inch diameter brellas that will put a smile on your face and are easy to spot on the beach.. Each brella is handmade and hand-sewn, fashionably designed and colorful with boho-chic fringe. They are 100% UV protective, fade resistant 100% sueded micro fiber polyester with a DWR water repellent coating. They come in a fashionable beachy, carrying case with sturdy shoulder strap. They are lightweight and easy to carry, total weight with carrying case is 5lbs.
You can find them in local shops such as Diane’s Beachwear in Huntington Beach; The Shop in Laguna Beach; Hobie Surf Shop in Dana Point, San Clemente, Laguna Beach, and Corona del Mar; Millie’s/Coastal Accents in Dana Point; and Love Lola in Newport Beach.
You can also find them on Amazon, and online at beachbrella.com.
