I am a wife and mother of 2 boys (14 & 9). Over the past years I have been a stay at home mom and have also been managing my husband's real estate businesses. My initial career work was focused on marketing, product design and merchandising. Since I was a little girl, I have always had a love for organization & have been excellent with time management. After years of people telling me they would love for me to help them organize their lives, I decided why not do something that I enjoy and helps others at the same time and that's how Everyday Matters started!
Spending time with my family, exercising, eating healthy, boating & photography. Recently I started listening to podcasts, practicing meditation and have added yoga to my exercise routine. A few months ago we moved from the burbs to Las Olas so I am embracing the urban life. Of course, I also enjoy maintaining an organized home for our family.
Not sure about typical but it always starts with flipping the switch on the coffee maker at 5:30 am and in bed by 9:00 pm! I embrace the 30 minutes I drive to and from school & I exercise daily. The hours in between I spend with clients or on my business & getting ready for the next day! Bags are always packed and the table set for the next morning!
Looking at my children and seeing what wonderful young men they are and that I have given them all tools to be the best they can be.
Grow my business, continue to raise good boys, travel and help others be more productive.
As a family we donate our time to various charities. I am also in discussions with a few organizations to find opportunities where my organizational skills can add value to their important cause.
Finding the best way to reach new clients and share what my skills can do for them.
I was so inspired to have a place to go and meet like-minded professional women. I have great admiration for successful women & find that they are very motivating!


Hardcover, 9 x 10.5 in. / 160 pgs / 185 color.
Though he was deeply engaged with painting and drawing, Toulouse-Lautrec's lasting contribution to artistic practice was as a graphic artist. Through his prints and posters, he brought the language of the late-nineteenth-century French avant-garde to a broad public, through editioned prints, advertisements and contributions in reviews and magazines. He ushered in the first print boom of the modern era; taking advantage of lithography's new potential for color and scale, he made both posters for the streets of Paris and prints for the new bourgeois collector's living room. During his short career, he created more than 350 prints and 30 posters, as well as lithographed theater programs and covers for books and sheet music. The Museum of Modern Art's collection of this material is stellar, encompassing over 100 prints and posters, his most important book projects, and many magazines, journals and other examples of printed ephemera. A cultural nexus, Toulouse-Lautrec connected artists, performers, authors, intellectuals and society figures of his day, creating a bridge between the brothels and society salons of the Belle Epoque. His work allows entry into many facets of Parisian life of the period, from politics and economics to visual culture and the rise of popular entertainment in the form of cabarets and café-concerts. Featuring an overview essay by Sarah Suzuki, Associate Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at MoMA, this publication presents thematically organized groupings of Toulouse-Lautrec's prints from the Museum's collection, each accompanied by an illuminating essay on the theme. Inserted into the book is a 20" x 17" poster titled "Mademoiselle Eglantine's Troupe."
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) is best known for his portrayals of late-nineteenth-century Parisian life, particularly working-class, cabaret, circus, nightclub and brothel scenes. He was admired then as he is today for his unsentimental evocations of personalities and social mores. His greatest contemporary impact was his series of 30 posters (1891–1901), which transformed the aesthetics of poster art.
Sarah Suzuki is Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art.
"Jane Avril" (1893) is reproduced from Toulouse-Lautrec in the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Keck School outreach group receives $180,000 to mitigate port expansion health impacts
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach generate a huge volume of revenue and high levels of diesel pollution as they move vast amounts of cargo. But this comes at a

cost to the environment — and to the health of nearby residents of low-income communities.
Andrea Hricko, MPH, professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, works with a team of USC and UCLA scientists at the Southern California Environmental Health Sciences Center, directed by Frank Gilliland, MS, MD, MPH, PhD, professor of preventive medicine. The center is dedicated to studying the health effects of air pollution.
The Kresge Foundation recently awarded a $180,000 grant to the center's community outreach and engagement program, directed by Hricko, for a two-year project entitled, "Translating the Health Impacts of Ports and Goods Movements." The award fulfills the foundation's mission to expand opportunity in America's cities, and the goal of its Health Program to reduce disparities by addressing the built and natural environments of vulnerable populations.
The center's research indicates that long-term exposure to near-roadway traffic emissions is harmful. The Kresge grant will help the outreach core to continue to inform stakeholders involved in possible port, rail or freeway expansion to integrate research findings on long-term health effects into their transportation decisions.
Bolstered by previous grants from The Kresge Foundation, The California Wellness Foundation and The California Endowment, and with ongoing support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the outreach core works with multiple community and environmental group partners. The core tries to shift the debate about ports and freight movement to elevate community voices in policymaking, while also using the research findings of its center scientists to strengthen those voices in seeking reduction of diesel emissions. Successes include having the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach become leaders in developing methods to reduce air pollution, with a resultant dramatic decrease in diesel emissions over the last decade.
According to Hricko, "the additional resources generously provided by The Kresge Foundation will allow us to write reports, submit comments and attend more meetings to present USC research findings to policymakers so they understand how important it is to evaluate health science data when making decisions about expansion."
David Fukuzawa, program director for health at the foundation, said, "We are pleased to continue our support of Professor Hricko and her colleagues at the Keck School for their pioneering efforts to advance environmental health science on behalf of the residents near and around Southern California's ports. They have become true national leaders."
The Kresge Foundation is a $3.1 billion private, national foundation headquartered in Metropolitan Detroit, in the suburb community of Troy. Its seven major areas of support are arts and culture, community development, the city of Detroit, education, environment, health and human services.

A glimpse behind some northern fencelines comes by way of drone from G.A. Eblen, who took to the Porter sky by proxy to catch these shots of planned and impromptu retention ponds in action. The Monday-morning photos center east of 59 around the Briar Tree Court subdivision — up in the right hand corner of the south-facing shot above are the well-moistened sports fields of White Oak Middle School.


Almost 7,000 kilometres on an old Honda XR600R off-road motorbike which costs €500. That will be my challenge in February 2014. A dream I have for years will now become reality.
The Amsterdam – Dakar Challenge runs through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania to Dakar in Senegal. It is not a race, as covering 7,000 kilometres with these cheap vehicles is hard enough already. Several teams will engage in this challenge, although most of them will use cars. Riding a bike instead will come with its disadvantages but – hopefully – increases the degree of adventure and excitement. Whatever the outcome, it provides me with some everlasting stories and memories.
Recently graduated from my masters in Supply Chain Management, getting a job wasn't an activity I was really looking forward to. The time I spent in Warwick as part of my study taught me some valuable lessons; opportunities are limitless and one should pursuit his dreams. A motorcycle adventure like this was on my mind for years. It is now the moment to act and put things into practice.
For this trip, I purchased a 24-year old Honda XR600R motorcycle. It requires some maintenance and preparation but in general it is a good bike. With some new parts, small modifications and extra large fuel tank, it will be the perfect machine for the challenge. Eight years ago I owned a smaller version of this bike; probably the idea of this trip was in the back of my head already.
Several people and companies support me during my trip and contribute to it by making donations. I am very grateful for that. Do you also want to make a donation? Send me an email and I will get in touch.

SA government injects $750,000 into planet-saving innovation program
An incubator that aims solve the world's biggest environmental challenges through high-growth solutions in waste and recycling has launched in Adelaide with $750,000 from the South Australian government.
The program, which will be run by Adelaide's leading global innovation accelerator Innovoyz, will develop 10 new companies with world-changing environmental solutions.
"For the first time ever, the UN is running this program outside of a capital city," Innovoyz chairman Philip Vafiadis tells StartupSmart.
This week, more than 300 distinguished guests including political leaders from 40 countries across the Asia Pacific region flew to Adelaide for the United Nations' annual regional 3R forum on waste leadership.
At the event, South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill announced the state would back Innovoyz.
"Our state is recognised globally for its leadership in waste management including our 1977 container-deposit legislation, action on plastic shopping bags, and landfill bans on e-waste and globe," he said.
"Our leadership continues as we transition the state's economy, and companies like Innovyz which commercialise research and innovation through mentoring and business development are a great example of local business backing innovative thinking."
With ocean waste expected to eclipse marine life in the near future, Vafiadis says it's critical that innovative solutions, whether they lie in research papers or tiny startups, be brought to the world fast.
"There'll be more plastic in the ocean by mass than fish – that's a pretty scary thing," he says.
Using Innovoyz's unique innovation development model, Vafiadis says applicants to the program can be anyone from entrepreneurs to environmentalists as long as they have a scalable idea that will make an impact.
Even individuals with a raw idea can apply and if selected, Innovoyz will put a team together to commercialise it.
"Waste and recycling is one of the most important issues on the planet right now because it relates to everything," Vafiadis says.
"We're open to technology that has great impact in this space."
The program, which kicks off in February 2017, will run over a nine-month period.
Innovoyz will provide support and training in product and concept development, strategic mapping, funding, mentoring and pathways to early listings and trade sales.
"We're looking for things that solve big chunks of this problem," Vafiadis says.

Hawaii Rev. Stat. Ann. 480F-1 et seq.
Payday loans are legal in the state of Hawaii, pursuant to Hawaii Rev. Stat. Ann. 480F-1 et seq. The number of companies offering payday loans in Hawaii currently stands at 65.
Payday loans in Hawaii can be issued for a maximum amount of $600 to be repaid between a minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 32 days. The maximum APR on a $100 loan issued for 14 days currently rests at 459%. Financial charges cannot exceed a total of $17.65 on $100 loan issued for a 14-day period, and lenders can charge a maximum of 15% of the face value of the check as finance rate and fees and a $20 nonsufficient funds fee for bounced repayment checks from the borrower.
The primary features of a Hawaii payday loan include the lack of rollovers and renewals on delinquent loans. This can be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage for a borrower. As an advantage, it puts an almost concrete setting on the repayment timeline in that it forces a borrower to plan ahead for the repayment. That timeline can also be a disadvantage to a delinquent borrower, as it means the repayment time period cannot be renegotiated. It also means the lenders can charge a delinquent borrower late fees and certain other financial charges, but they cannot renew the loan for another month. However, the borrower will not have to pay additional interest on the APR.
Additionally, a borrower can only take out one loan at a time, which can help keep a borrower out of a debt cycle of constantly taking out new loans to pay off the old ones. Interestingly, Hawaii payday loan laws do not specify whether a lender must provide any kind of repayment plan to help a delinquent borrower. This means that, depending on the lender, a borrower might be able to use that option. Generally speaking, a lender should be open to any plan that will get their money repaid as quickly as possible, so a borrower should keep this in mind when considering a payday loan. All a lender can do is say no.
Regarding repayment, a borrower should also know a lender cannot threaten them with criminal charges should the cash advance loan become delinquent. This means that, unless a borrower engages in criminal activity while doing business with the lender, the lender cannot garnish wages, threaten jail time, or harass the borrower until the debt is repaid. However, the lender can seek a civil decision against the borrower that would require a repayment plan and subsequently damage the borrower�s credit rating.
*The information displayed may not be current. For the most recent information, please visit http://www.paydayloaninfo.org/state-information/19.
The following information is key demographic data for the state of Hawaii from the Census bureau.
Payday loans are designed to address short-term emergency financial needs, not for long-term financial planning or for irresponsible use. A borrower must remember at all times the loan amount must be repaid, and proper financial planning must be employed to make sure the borrower does not fall into a debt cycle. A borrower can do this by understanding everything they can about the short term loan prior to accepting the terms and having a repayment plan ready.


I bought this, by what I am told it's a similar shave to the Wolfman BBS-1, I have not tried a Wolfman (£££) but can confirm this is an excellent razor, close and smooth, no drama at all.
Similar head profile to the Sheick TTO so should be a very good shaver.
I always wanted to try one of those, but they are somewhat rare.

Covid-19: UAE food safe from coronavirus, says F&B firms
Food consumed in the UAE and the GCC is safe from coronavirus as local companies source their products mainly from Europe, the USA, Brazil, and the Subcontinent rather than China, say industry executives.
Speaking on the first-day of the Gulfood 2020, they assured that despite the fact that this region relies on foreign food, local and regional companies source products from reliable and internationally-renowned companies. ( Coronavirus: Everything you need to know about the Covid-19 Wuhan virus outbreak)
"I don't think there is any impact of coronavirus on the local food market. We are not importing anything from China. All of our imports are from the well-known companies across Europe and the USA. In fact, most of local F & B companies are importing from Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden because UAE residents have good purchasing power, therefore, they always look for high quality products. All companies in the FMCG sector here are sourcing good products from reliable companies," said Dr. Ahmed Eltigani, CEO of Al Rawabi Dairy Co.
Rishi Srivastava, group marketing manager at Sahar Enterprises, which is a subsidiary of Al Kabeer group, said their company's raw material comes from Brazil and most of the manufacturing is done locally, hence, ruling out any impact of the coronavirus on the local or regional food.
"Raw materials for all the frozen products such as chicken and meat of regional companies come from Brazil. Therefore, it is quite safe to eat food. It is all halal food under strict watch of local municipalities. So, it is absolutely safe," Srivastava told Khaleej Times on the sidelines of the Gulfood 2020 exhibition, which is currently underway at the World Trade Centre.
Sourcing products, especially consumables, from China has become a big hassle and challenging for foreign companies due to the coronavirus outbreak. There were 2,009 new cases in mainland China on Saturday, bringing its total to 68,500. The number of the dead in mainland China from the virus stood at 1,665 on Sunday evening, according to the country's National Health Commission.
Kamal Vachani, group director of Al Maya Group, also ruled out any impact of coronavirus on the local food industry.
"The UAE food industry is not dependent on China. We mainly source foods from India. Garlic and ginger were being sourced from China but we are now shifting to India. Other items such as corn flakes are coming from the UK and Europe. Some vegetables are coming from Jordan. Most of the can foods are also manufactured locally here in Sharjah. To my best of knowledge, food consumed here is safe as it is not imported from China," he added.
Vachani revealed that there are some sauces are sourced from China but they can be purchased from other countries such as South Korea.
Krishna Dhanak, executive director, Alpen Capital, said the impact of coronavirus will be seen across industries and geographies given the wide supply-chain network from China to the rest of the world. "Accordingly, the impact on the trade between the UAE-GCC and China will be similar to the impact on the global supply-chain from China," he said.
The GCC countries are largely vulnerable to food price fluctuations, as they are highly dependent on food imports. Food prices have rebounded after falling sharply between 2016 and 2017. Alpen Capital estimated that food demand will grow to 60.7 million tonnes in GCC by 2023, growing at 3.3 per cent CAGR. Around 85 per cent of GCC food is imported due to limited arable land, lack of fresh water and arid climate conditions.
Earlier on Sunday, Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance, opened the 25th edition of the expo. More than 5,000 companies are taking part in the five-day exhibition, bringing F & B players across the globe to Dubai.
Focus more on healthy food
Al Rawabi CEO Dr. Ahmed pointed out that there is a big shift in consumer behaviour. "Earlier, consumers used to look at production and expiry dates only. But now they have become educated and buy a product after checking the ingredients only. So Al Rawabi is focusing on functional health products," he said.
Priyanka Mittal, direct for KRBL Limited, the distributor of India Gate basmati rice, said the focusing is to add more healthy products to its portfolio. She noted that more companies are focusing on producing healthy products due to growing demand and growing trend among companies to focus on this segment.
"I think it is a combination of push and pull - whereby demand from consumers are growing while companies are also introducing new healthy products as well to woo consumers. Companies like us want to offer better value and products to the market. So, there is demand creation that brands do. Once you put the product on the shelf, there is obviously offtake. There is a consumption that gets created," she said on the sidelines of Gulfood.
Commenting on why the healthy and organic products are costlier, she said the retail cost of listing these products is very high. "The retail margins are very high and offtake is very low. So retailer wants more money. It is not brand owners that are capturing bulk of the value. Retailers will have to bring down the margins not only for basmati rice but also for all products for this category because right now consumers are seeking value," she said.


This post covers the best things to do in Dubai, including top attractions, free activities, museums, points of interest, kid-friendly activities, things to do at night and much more. Be sure to consider our tours to explore these neighborhoods.
Below is our list of the top 10 things to do in Dubai.
Dubai and the UAE have a tremendous history, culture, tradition, and folklore. Much of this can easily be missed as one gets enamored by the tall skyscrapers and modern infrastructure. Therefore, sightseeing tours can be really valuable in providing a deeper understanding of the region, along with the stories that shaped the course of history. Dubai is a real case of desert-to-destination in a very short time frame and in order to capture this transformation accurately, you need a local guide to show you around and provide the insights and context. Fortunately, Dubai has many options for sightseeing tours be it walking tours, bus tours, boat tours or even seaplane tours.
Old Dubai and particularly the Al Fahidi District is a hidden gem of the city preserving its pearl diving history and its very first residential community. This area is only accessible to pedestrians as no cars or vehicles can get inside these winding narrow alleys. Off-beat walking tours by Dubai By Foot offer rich content tours by expert certified guides who know their way around the maze and bring you to the little museums and temples tucked quietly amidst the hustle-bustle. The signature Old Dubai & Souk Walking Tour is the ideal way to get to understand Dubai and its history from a bird's eye view of what happened since the 1750's up until oil was discovered in the mid-1950s. This introductory tour is of value to both stopover guests as well as those in Dubai for a week. For those looking for a 2-in-1 value tour, we recommend the Flavors of Arabia – Emirati Food Walk tour which encapsulates both the history of Old Dubai, its major sights as well as authentic Emirati cuisine.
For those guests who prefer an overview tour of Dubai from the comfort of air conditioning, Dubai has a variety of Bus Tours and we offer a detailed comparison of the best value bus tours here. These bus tours are popular in the summer months when the heat can be harsh especially between June and August.
Boat excursions range from paddle boats to 200-feet yachts and usually provide a scenic photo opportunity from the seaside.
On your trip to Dubai, you should not miss seeing how traditional life in the mid-19th century used to be at the Al Fahidi Historic Neighborhood, formerly known as Bastakiya, by joining us on our Old Dubai and Souk Tour.

This one is, again, kind of all over the place. On the one hand there are some fixes for multiplayer plus some new admin commands to help with yet another anti-griefing case as well as to be able to rename either your character or your profile. Very useful.
On the other hand we've got some changes to make the transition to the second continent easier and less grindy when you're going for those early NPCs and settlement structures. To some extent I think it was a communications issue with players missing things that were actually already there, but we've done a great deal to make it more robust in general so that that doesn't come up.
Next up are three more enemies and a new miniboss. One of those enemy types actually has four variants, and another of them has eighteen variants. So, yeah.
Also new this release is the concept of chunks having "infestations" of hostile background stuff. If you don't want spoilers I won't give them in this summary. But suffice it to say, some of the new enemies don't seed like other enemies — they either show up like the crashed landspeeder or dread gazebo as part of region-specific seeding, or they show up during an infestation in addition to normal enemies.
Players have been asking for more environmental dangers and traps and such for a while, as well as more variance on a per-chunk basis as opposed to a per-region basis, and the infestations provide us for a pretty interesting vector for providing both in one. We'll be doing more with it over time, but right now there are three broad types of infestations that can happen, each with three differing severities and some region-specific tie-ins.
Sorry that was kind of vague, but given this is a game partly about exploration I thought you might prefer just finding it in the game yourself. If not, then have at the release notes themselves, because all the details are there!
UPDATE: 1.017 is now out and improves the balance on the new infestations based on early feedback, as well as making the monster whips work properly in multiplayer.

Boquete is a town in Panama with an aura of a place which cannot be skipped when in this Central American country, and when we arrived on one late afternoon when the high season was in full swing, we couldn't believe how many western travelers and backpacker we met all of a sudden. It was something new to us as we hadn't seen that many tourists probably for a month. The last tourist place we visited was Rio de Janeiro, but we surely did not expect to come across that many people in a small town close to borders with Costa Rica.
But the number of visitors should not put you off from visiting this pleasant town. There are so many things to do that the crowds disperse every morning and return back to the town for dinner in the late afternoon. The range of activities is so broad that for most of the day you will wonder where all those people have gone!
But not only one-time visitors discovered the charm of Boquete, rather the contrary.
Cooler temperatures, fresh air, slow-paced lifestyle and beautiful beaches of Bocas del Toro within driving distance attract foreigners, especially Americans who are arriving in Boquete to retire here. Boquete is so popular that in the past decade the town became one of the best-known places among expats. Well, we don't see ourselves moving to Boquete, but still, the number of US citizens in the town surely affected our visit, even when we spent only three days there.
Lots of hotels and restaurants are owned by Americans, so it means two things. You can find here food you are familiar with (bread and pizza), but prices are higher than in the rest of Panama.
Boquete in Chiriqui province is exactly the town you can base yourself for a week or more, and you will still have plenty of things to do and try so you could tick them off from your bucket list. But as we know, the average traveler spends two or three days in this lush mountainous town, so we've put together a list of the best things to do in the area, and hope it will come handy and make your travels easier.
The number of hikes close to Boquete town doesn't leave any doubts about the fact that this town is the adventure and hikers capital of Panama. Come and see by yourself. If you would enjoy Boquete, we can also recommend you visiting El Valle de Anton, another outdoor and adventure town in Panama.
All hikes are easily accessible from Boquete by one of the regular collectivos leaving from an official spot close to the market, or if you are traveling in a larger group, it is worth to hire a taxi. There are several popular trails which usually require at least a half day of your time, for example, Pianista Trail, Pipeline Trail or Quetzal Trek to name a few.
We did the Quetzal Trek, the trail leading through dense forest offering several vistas of cloudy mountains around, and also an opportunity to spot elusive Quetzal bird.
Striking green and red Quetzal bird is the national bird of Guatemala but lives in the area of Boquete as well. The best place to look for this colorful bird with bright feathers and the long tail is on the Quetzal Trail, but you can try your luck basically anywhere around. To increase your chances, it is better to hire a specialized guide, because treetops in the forest around Boquete are high, and it is not easy to spot the bird when you don't know where to look and what signs to look for.
We were not lucky in Boquete but had an opportunity to take great photos of Quetzal birds in Monteverde, Costa Rica.
Among the most popular adventures in Boquete belongs the sunrise hike to Baru Volcano, with 3475 meters the tallest mountain in Panama. When the weather is clear, you can see both the Pacific and Carribean Ocean from the summit, but unfortunately, this does not happen that often as Baru Volcano is often shrouded in clouds.
If you want to conquer Baru Volcano, be ready for a challenging hike which is not technical, but is long. You need to leave Boquete before midnight in order to reach the summit before sunrise. You can get to the start of the trail by taxi, but it is cheaper to book a shuttle in Mamallena Hostel. From the trailhead, it is 13 kilometers long hike in the dark on the road. Take lots of water and wear layers as it is cold and windy on the top.
If you feel like climbing the volcano would be out of your depth, you can take a tour from Boquete as there is a road leading to the top of the volcano.
To know more about coffee, you don't need to visit Colombia, although we highly recommend it. Boquete is a world-known destination producing one of the best coffees in the world. You can visit plantations and farms in the area of Boquete where you can see how the coffee grows, farmers will explain the whole process from the bean to the cup of coffee, and of course, you can taste as many varieties and as many cups you please.
Have you ever heard of Geisha coffee? If not, it is the time to learn more about it here in Boquete. This rare variety is expensive and the most sought-after coffee been you can come across in Panama growing on the slopes of Baru Volcano.
Pump up the adrenaline in Boquete and sign up for white water rafting tour as soon as you can. Chiriqui province offers world-class rafting. During the tour, you will have a chance to enjoy an unforgettable ride plus there will be time to admire Panama's biological diversity from the raft. Chiriqui Viejo River flows fast even in the dry season from December to April, so you don't need to worry that the experience won't be the same as in the wet season. One of the most reliable tour companies arranging the tour is Boquete Outdoors Adventure.
Canopy tours became over-popular in South and Central America and you can try this adventure almost everywhere, but on their defense, we must say that conditions are perfect here. It is another way how to enjoy the forest, and if you are not fond of hiking, this might be the right activity for you. Very often, ziplining can be combined with waterfall-ing or canyoning, we experienced it in Jaco, Costa Rica for the first time, and we had so much fun.
Coffee and chocolate business usually goes hand in hand, and Boquete town is no exception as it offers several interesting chocolate or chocolate-making tours. We haven't done it here in Boquete, as we've done a similar activity in Mindo in Ecuador, but you should not miss it if you are a chocolate lover, and honestly, who is not.
Similar to Volcan Arenal or Monteverde in Costa Rica, you can enjoy hanging bridges in Panama's Boquete as well. Make sure you don't suffer from hights, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy this activity fully. Cloud forest is a specific environment on its own, and hanging bridges will help you to get closer and admire the unique flora and fauna.
One of the most rewarding hikes in Boquete is The Lost Waterfalls Trek. The trek is privately owned, so you must pay $7 to enter the trail, but you'll be soon rewarded with three waterfalls on a very short distance. This trek is suitable and easily accessible for everyone, kids, or elderly.
The accommodation in Boquete expands, and you don't need to worry that you won't find a room in the town, but if you don't book well in advance, especially in high season, all options within your price range can be gone, so plan ahead.
Budget | Hostel Mamallena Boquete - So far the most popular option for backpackers in the town. This hostel offers private rooms and dormitories as well plus the staff speaks English well and can arrange tours or transport to other destinations within Panama.
Mid-range | Casa Azul Bed & Breakfast - Beautifully decorated place with a special atmosphere is the best you can find in Boquete when you compare the price and the service.
Luxury | Hotel Panamonte - Luxurious and spacious rooms offer a terrace with garden and mountain view, free breakfast and fast wifi.
Boquete is off the main highway running through Panama, and when traveling by bus, you need to get to the city of David first - it is also the city you must pass through if you are planning on crossing borders to Costa Rica.
David is easily accessible by public transport from Panama City, Santiago de Veraguas or El Valle de Anton (you need to get from El Valle de Anton to the main highway, you can read more about it in our full post about El Valle). From David, regular buses (approximately every 30 minutes) leave the bus station to Boquete.
The ticket cost $2.5, and the ride takes about 45 minutes.
Boquete is a small town close to borders with Costa Rica, and overall it is a really safe destination. The petty theft usually doesn't occur here and the chance you would encounter any unpleasant situation in the town is very unlikely. You should be careful when going hiking on own as the area can see flash floods, plus you should never leave the trail. In case you are not sure about your navigation skills, do not hesitate to hire a guide.
In 2014, two Dutch girls went missing when hiking one of the most popular trails, El Pianista trail, and were found dead several months after. Until today, no one knows if it had been a tragic coincidence and they got lost, or if there was a third person involved, so be careful. It is always better not to do outdoor and adventure activities on own.
In 2016, an American tourist was murdered on Bocas del Toro islands, and later on, FBI was investigating these two incidents as there might be a connection between them.


Sports franchises across North America are doing their best to top each other when it comes to outlandish menu items they serve at their home games.
With the start of the NFL regular season now less than one month away, the Arizona Cardinals decided it was the perfect opportunity to reveal the newest addition to the menu for the upcoming season: The 7-pound Gridiron Burger.
The newest menu item is a lot more than just a burger. It sells for $75 USD and includes five 1/3 pound burger patties, five all beef hot dogs, five bratwursts, 20 slices of American cheese, eight slices of bacon, eight chicken tenders, 12 ounces of fries, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and tanker sauce on a 10 inch bun. The catch, finish it all in under an hour and win a Cardinals jersey and get your picture on the video board.
Other food items being added to the menu at the University of Phoenix Stadium include the Gridzilla Burger, the Dirty Fry Bird, the Taco-Dilla and the Churro Donut Sundae.
It might be worth a trip to an Arizona Cardinals home game just to try all the new menu items.


I really enjoyed the chemistry between Amy and Luke. There's so much fun to be had when characters, in this case Amy, make (wrong) snap judgments. Of course, Luke is much more than the pretty face, and gorgeous body, Amy assumes him to be and just the person to shake up her comfort zone. Prickly, confident Amy is exactly the kind of woman Luke is drawn to and when a bet between them the night they meet ends with a soul-stirring kiss, he takes the job she offers to explore what could be. She, of course, thinks it's because he needs money.
What Amy has assured Luke will be an easy-money birthday celebration at her family ranch quickly turns into much more. Amy's ex shows up, her jerk of a father tests Luke at every opportunity in an attempt to get rid of him, and her grandparents (champion scene stealers - I adored them) are primed to nudge Amy and Luke down the aisle at the first opportunity. Then there's the chemistry between Luke and Amy, the snappy banter, events that have Amy reassessing her life goals, again, those adorable, scene-stealing grandparents, other quirky relatives who add to the general chaos as well as generating plenty of humor, and the fact that, sometimes, first impressions are far from reality. All in all, a fun ride that had me smiling from beginning to end.
If you're looking for a feel-good contemporary romance that will make you chuckle, make you sigh, tug at your heartstrings, and leave you happy you took the time to read it, then Rich Amooi's latest book, There's Something About a Cowboy should be on your reading list.
Do you enjoy romantic comedies?
Have you read any of Rich Amooi's books?
Fun, Quirky Romantic Comedies from a Guy's Perspective. Rich Amooi is a former radio personality who now writes romantic comedies full-time. He is happily married to a kiss monster imported from Spain. Rich believes in public displays of affection, silliness, infinite possibilities, donuts, gratitude, laughter, and happily ever after.
An Eclair to Remember was so much fun to read.
This sounds like a good, fun book. Meddling grandparents can add so much to a book.
I love rom-com stories. I own all of Rich's books. Thank you for sharing PJ.
