What to eat, do in SoCal to feel good and look good
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- We love to look good and feel good in L.A., so Eye on L.A. found some great foods, relaxing services, and a few life-changing breakthroughs to help kick start your quest to wellness inside and out.
BOL Meditation & Sound Bath, Los Angeles
Looking and feeling good starts from the inside. BOL Meditation welcomes you to a sanctuary designed to take you to an emotionally happy place. Some people think they can't meditate, but BOL Meditation challenges them to consider meditation a process and not a one-time endeavor. BOL has many different kinds of meditation and one of our favorites is the sound bath that helps you get the release that meditation brings through sound waves. https://believeorleave.com/ (WATCH VIDEO ABOVE)
Crumbs & Whiskers, Los Angeles
There are health benefits to owning a cat. Having a feline at home can reduce stress and anxiety, decrease risk of stroke, lower blood pressure, and have a calming effect, as well as boost your immunity -- all great for feeling good. We found a place where you can enjoy coffee or tea and a snack while petting kitty cats. If you fall in love with one, you can adopt! That's it. It's all about cats at Crumbs & Whiskers on Melrose, where they take cats from shelters that were set to be euthanized and find them a forever home. https://crumbsandwhiskers.com/
FXP Fitness
Here's a fun way to look and feel good, but this isn't the hula-hoop you remember from your childhood! FXP Fitness takes hula-hooping to a whole new level, creating a full body, fat-burning workout. Created as a way to burn off post-pregnancy weight, the classes incorporate Pilates and yoga moves with weighted hoops that will get you that all-around workout you're craving. https://www.fxpfitness.com/
Autism Typing Therapy
It's estimated that 1 in 68 children in the U.S. has an autism spectrum disorder, and R.E.A.C.H. is trying to empower their patients through augmented communication therapy, meaning the use of technology to help them communicate. Augmented communication therapy can offer solutions and open new worlds for patients and their families, and changing their lives. http://reach.services/
Papaya Tree Nursery, Granada Hills
Papaya Tree Nursery is like a Willy Wonka factory of fruit trees! Started 32 years ago, the nursery has grown to house over 70 different varieties of exotic fruits and berries. All of the trees have been bred for our warm climate, so you can buy them for your own backyard. And if you haven't tried the miracle fruit, a magical berry that turns everything acidic into something sweet, then you have got to check out this exotic spot in Granada Hills. Because if you can eat a berry instead of having sugar, you will look good and feel good in no time.
Lizz Wright "GRACE"
Songstress Lizz Wright has a voice that is guaranteed to soothe the soul, and with the release of her newest album "GRACE," she can transport you to a totally peaceful place. While Lizz was in town, she also took our Tina Malave to one of her favorite spots in L.A. that she claims brings her peace, Erewhon Market.
