Dear JABBERS: 

As a newcomer to the JAB family, I am excited to bring you a fresh outlook into the many happenings in and around Miami's nothernmost communities, including Aventura, Miami Shores, North Miami and the MiMo District, to name but a few. The Farmer's Markets are in full swing and I've particularly enjoyed visiting North Miami's which is just mere blocks from my house. There, I met many who are passionate about selling their organic products like delectable vegan chocolate truffles, varietal jerkies made of grass-fed beef, local honey and all types of granola with fresh, wholesome and delicious ingredients. Local farmers sold South Florida-grown products like heirloom tomatoes, leeks, arugula and watermelon radishes. It was also refreshing to engage in conversation with people who are striving to make a difference by introducing people to a healthier way of life.

 

As you read this week's edition you'll find the usual community of fantastic JAB referrals. And certainly take advantage of our amazing spring weather before the sticky, summer rainy season begins and, as always, happy JABBING!

A Golden Anniversary
From Angie Puentes-Leon: REPLY
Good friends of the family are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and have invited us to attend the celebration. We would like to purchase a very special gift, appropriate for the occasion, and want to stay away from picture frame-type gifts or a gift card to a restaurant. We want to give something that is really special to the couple. Any suggestions you have would be great. Thanks!
 
 
Looking For Long-Lasting Hair Staightening Treatment
From Katie Walbrun: REPLY
I'm in need of another hair straightening treatment. I've done keratin, which didn't last as long as expected and I still had to blow dry it to really straighten it. I've done the Japanese straightening treatment a few times over 10 years ago, and remember that it did last a while but my roots grew out wavy while the rest of my hair was still straight. Can anyone please recommend an effective, long lasting treatment? Thank you.

Make My Yard An Oasis
From Carla Conde: REPLY
I am seeking a reasonably priced company to replace my metal gate and would welcome recommendations. I am also looking to replace a section of the gate in my backyard. Thank you.

 

 

Freezing Tub
From Kirby Richards: REPLY
The bathtub in our current home has never been up to snuff. The metal material (porcelain-coated cast iron or steel) seems to immediately conduct any heat right out of the water, leaving you sitting in cold water in just a few minutes. Has anyone had this problem with their tub, and is there a way to coat or insulate it to keep the heat in the water? Thank you!

 

Sweet Dreams On Comfiest Sleeper Sofa
From Noelle Galperin: REPLY
Any ideas on the comfiest sleeper sofa (a generous Queen-size) on the market that is as luxurious to sit on as it is to sleep on? From initial research it looks like a reasonable price range is $2,000 to $4,000. I'd prefer in-stock options, versus sofas that require 6-8 weeks for delivery. Thanks for all suggestions!
