Hurricane Smarts
This was the scene at most South Florida stores yesterday morning. We heard that the threat of a major storm was being discussed and as usual, people went crazy.
I have no objections to people making sure they have enough basic supplies for their families, but the amount of surplus supplies was embarrassing. In fact [ + ]

This one took me by surprise. The issue we were having is a perpetually clogged drain in the shower due to my long hair. Those basket type hair catchers don't work well, and they are really gross to clean. Because ou [ + ]

Hi.
Pedro and I are so excited that summer is here. I know what you are thinking: "You two live in South Florida. EVERY day is summer". To a degree, you are correct but there is more.
In the summer months, our routine changes. We work out a bit earlier, and we make sure to get to the beach for at least an hour or two on [ + ]

Using the Beach
Hi!
As summer approaches, you should be thinking about your fitness routine and your commitment level. Do you need a proverbial kick in the tuchas? Now is the time to evaluate your program and make some changes as the hotter months approach.
If you have access to a beach, your possibilities are endless. I must say, we are spo [ + ]
