Premiering this week, it’s almost time for Odysseo! Wednesday evening is almost here which is when it will be show time for Cavalia’s Odysseo! The horses arrived last week after their luxurious 10 day vacation down near San Diego. I was lucky enough to catch some of the horses arriving and get a behind the scenes look at the preparation that has been going on to get this magical show ready for all of us to see! It has been 3 years since I last saw the show when it was here in Burbank and I cannot wait to share it with some of my most horse crazy friends here in Orange County!
So come take a look at all the work that has been going on to get the stage and the horses show ready!
Getting the footing for the stage ready is a lot of work! We also got a close-up look at the 18 ton Merry-Go-Round!

Then it was off to see the horses! Boy, did they make an entrance, red carpet and all for these super stars!
What kinds of horses does Odysseo have? Some of the breeds that make up the Odysseo herd include: Continue reading »
In just over a week now, Cavalia’s Odysseo, a most spectacular equestrian show is coming to Orange County, California February 3rd through February 14, 2016 and tickets are now available! I had the pleasure and joy of seeing Cavalia’s Odysseo a couple years ago when the show was performing in Burbank. The show is without question, the most spectacular display of equestrian riders in the world that you will ever see! Most of these talented riders are actually from all around the world. You can see my Rendez-Vous experience here!
If you’ve driven in Irvine along the 405 Freeway, you might have seen the large white tent that has gone up! This is for the Odysseo show. You can watch the time lapse for the tent raising above. It’s pretty neat to see how the tent goes up! Odysseo is unlike any show you will ever see.
What exactly is Odysseo ?
A live equestrian performance that tells tales from around the globe. Beginning in a misty, enchanted forest where horses graze and frolic under a sky of rolling clouds and a setting sun, Odysseo takes the audience on a fantastical journey to some of nature’s greatest wonders, from the Mongolian steppes to Monument Valley, from the African savannah to Nordic glaciers, from the Sahara to Easter Island, and even to a lunar landscape, illuminated by shooting stars and brilliant nebulas.

Producers for Odysseo, by the internationally acclaimed entertainment company Cavalia, are thrilled to announce Irvine as the host city for the Orange County debut of the largest touring production on earth. Odysseo will be presented under the White Big Top at the junction of the I-405 & the SR-133 with performances beginningWednesday, February 3, 2016 under the White Big Top in Irvine.
Odysseo is a $30 million extravaganza! Expanding the definition of performance into an epic and soulful experience that is astonishing audiences and wowing critics across North America. Double the size of Cavalia’seponymous creation which enjoyed a very successful run in Irvine back in 2007, Odysseo is a show unlike any other featuring 65 horsesand 48 riders, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and musicians in a soulful and touching journey around the globe, celebrating the bond between the two species.

The horses are the stars of the show. They are the heart and soul of every Odysseo performance.These magnificent animals play in complicity and with freedom, in a symbiotic and respectful relationship with their human co-stars, charming and fascinating everyone who has the chance to witness this moving artistic and emotive partnership. One of my favorite numbers is the liberty number, when purebred Arabian horses are directed only by the soft murmurs of their trainer, and the fabulous caravan act that comprises people and horses too numerous to count, will leave every spectator captivated and touched by the splendour created in front of their eyes.
Acrobats present an amazing mix of force and sensitivity, interacting with the spellbound audience, while the live musicians and vocalist perform in the most enthralling way to immerse spectators of all ages in a beautiful sensorial experience they will remember forever. Whether it is the dexterity of the African acrobats, the enchanting sound of the Kora, or the majestic life-size merry-go-around, the cast and set of Odysseo are inspired and inspiring, delivering crowd-pleasing wonders and stunts.

The theatrical effects are mindboggling! A state-of-the-art video screen three times the size of the world’s largest cinema screens, a three-story mountain for dazzling perspectives, and a real lake made of 40,000 gallons of recycled water which magically appears for a splashing finale. The layers of mesmerizing decor make the audience part of the action while the gigantic stage takes everyone’s breath away. Odysseo’s technological and scenographical effects create places no one has ever seen before; places where one can feel the deep connection between horse and man.
FitMealz: A Healthier Choice Delivered Straight to Your Doorstep!
By Erin
I’ve just recently tried FitMealz, a meal prepping delivery service based in Orange County, CA. Think personalized, hand-made, ultra healthy meals hand-crafted by a professional chef. So far I like it.
If you’re serious about living a healthier lifestyle, you know that eating healthy is about 80% of the battle. Meal prepping can be time consuming and without it, you could easily increase your chances of eating junk or unhealthy foods.
“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”
So what is meal prepping? Meal prepping is essentially preparing your meals throughout the week, so that you can eat healthy and save time away from the kitchen. However, finding a routine can be a daunting task.
Just like me, I assume that most of us are pretty busy in our day-to-day lives, so it can be hard (or nearly impossible) to cook all of your meals at home, for each day.
That’s why I’ve decided to give FitMealz a try. They provide healthier meals that are simple and delicious.
Like this chicken dish that’s sautéed with fresh herbs and spicy marinated sauce that pairs perfectly with the fresh steamed vegetables and wholegrain rice. SO YUMMY!
Here are a couple of other meals I have been able to try so far, all of which have been very fresh and delicious. From the chicken, to the ground turkey and salmon, each have been seasoned with different herbs and spices to give it an amazing flavor.
All items are interchangeable or optional. This week I decided to try their baked lean chicken breast. Next week could be different. To get started you can order their meals here.
New dishes will be cycled into their menu every 2-3 weeks.
Final Thoughts: Being fabulously fit can be time consuming. So if you’re looking formeal preps in OC, I would recommend you to check them out! OH, AND ALSO! A neat advantage that separates them from the competition is that they donate 5% of their net proceeds to a variety of organizations around the world who are combatting hunger and nutritional deficiencies on a global scale. So what better way to live a healthier lifestyle, and making a difference at the same time.
So if you are looking to eat healthier in the new year, but don’t have the time to do all the meal prepping yourself, then make sure to giveFitMealza try! You’ll be glad you did! 🙂
