Here are events in Hollywood that are free to all.  I have never heard of a Candy Cane parade and had no idea that they're that revered!!  Post event comment: It ended up being a decent-sized parade with many floats.  The Miami-Herald covered the event and had several pictures.  Who would have known candy canes are such a big part of Hollywood?!       11/09/2007

We all want our homes to be different and unique, an expression of our own personalities and individualism.  Well, an article in the Miami Herald (Various pieces stand in for nightstands), tells us just how to do this at an affordable price.  The article mainly focuses on bedrooms, in particularly nightstands.  A good nightstand is important not only because it brings a room together, but also for its functional purposes.  The nightstand doesn't get much credit, but it is one of the most highly used items in the bedroom, next to the bed.  Think about it, it's were you keep your lamp, books, reading glasses, cups, pens, paper, and an assortment of other things you know doesn't really belong there.  The article introduces the idea of using other things in place of a conventional nightstan... 10/18/2007

The media cornerstones their profession, and as Realtors, so should we. While the media is emphasizing on the scintillating labyrinth of the real estate industry, it should not void the mass of the real estate professionals who are pioneers in delivering honesty and loyalty in their careers for their customers.We are being bombarded day in and day out with countless, ruthless babble about our professions. But how do we prove the opposite to the world? We must amass a group of undertakers and support our credence in our selected profession. Dear Consumers: There are descent real estate professionals. We do exist and we are closer to you than you think.The real estate industry is facing a misapprehended demise, bringing forward the harsh and rude awakening of the abuse of power.

There's the media and analysts who are blaming realtors and mortgage brokers on the influence of the housing market. Ladies and gentlemen, this is global. And what does that mean? Every other country that has loan money to the American banks have withdrawn from our support now. The government is going to have to get involved with the cities, county, and state taxes to lower them so the economy can straighten up.Employees who work for supermarkets and other places are making minimum wage while the city is paying some of the supervisor positions $30 an hour. My point is, is that when someone has a complaint about the city, these supervisors are not doing anything. But take the ordinary employee outside of the city jobs, and their busting their butts working for minimum wage, helping custo... 09/22/2007

Growing up with a mom who was single, I never saw her buy a fancy car, beautiful clothes or shoes. She was a savvy shopper and was always at the clearance sale section at a department store and would cut savings coupons from the Sunday paper. She was happy to wear a simple gold watch, a gold necklace and a couple of gold diamond rings.Me, my sisters and brothers (one of my brothers is my twin) come from a poor to middle income family. My mother was one of the few of 16 children who got a divorce while we were still toddlers and let my father take everything as long as she didn't have anything to do with him. We moved to Miami and visited home once every couple or few years.She worked her simple job, came home everyday, never brought any strangers home and was pretty much content with he... 09/22/2007

Some homeowners which homes are being foreclosed are ripping tenants off. With so many homes in foreclosure, some unscrupulous homeowners are renting out their homes, taking three to four months of deposit and after a couple of months they take off. The tenants are forced to move out and become despondent at the event.While conducting a search for a friend of mine who is looking to rent a condo, something told me to look at the property tax records for the condo that she wants to rent. To my dismay, the result of the property's history confirmed that the homeowners were indeed in foreclosure. Red Flag #1Since the property is for sale by owner, I called and asked if the owner was willing to cooperate with me and pay a commission. They hung up on me! It's not that they hung up on me that ... 09/17/2007

Lounge music is chill music to your ears. If you're like me and enjoyed the compilation of Michael Cretu's Enigma, you will love the paradigm, seductive sounds of the popular and modern sound of Electronica, an emerging genre that took off in the 90's. And while Enigma's sounds were new age dance, it was a project that sold millions of records which provided a contemporary sound that was recognized worldwide. I am a big fan of Enigma and it's one of my favorites in my collections of world music. Whether you chill out with your friends, mate, collegues or family, lounge music has become a popular modern tune in lounge and wine bars, creating an ingenious ambiance of pleasurable rhythms while conversing amongst your peers. The store owner of a dance studio saw me going through a rack of C... 09/16/2007

Many will remember 1967 as the "Summer of Love'. It was a Renaissance of sorts as people discovered who they were.It was a "true celebration of life".  With the Summer of 2007 over we`re dubbing it the "Summer of Wove".
