 Looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your little princess? The Sydney & Alexandria Cohen Foundation Inc. was founded by South Florida parents Jennifer & Brian Cohen after their twin daughters were born 10 weeks premature. The girls spent 5 weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Memorial Hospital West. In an effort to show their extreme gratitude and wanting to "pay it forward" they are raising money to buy and donate state-of-the art incubators back to the NICU. The girls are 7-years-old now and, of course, love nail polish. The Cohens created an adorable gift set with one bottle of light purple polish with sparkles and one bottle of glow in the dark light pink polish with sparkles. Each bottle is topped with a matching heart shaped acrylic! The polish is packaged in an adorable heart shaped box, is cruelty free, and proudly made in the USA. 100% of the proceeds will support the foundation. Buy a Valentine's Day gift (or birthday party favors!) that your little girl will love and that will make your heart feel good too!$14.00 per box. Available at Miss Katie's Charm School in Aventura, Pink & Blue in Plantation, MindBodyConnection in Cooper City, or contact Jennifer at 954 .326 .2067.* Click here to visit the foundation's web site.

| I Want Rainbow Wedding Cake, That Won't Cost A Pot of Gold From Sandy Martin: Reply I'm looking for a caterer who can make me the wedding cake of my dreams. The cake, like the one pictured, will have thin layers that are each a color of the rainbow: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. I need to feed about 170 people, and I'd like to keep the cake expense to a budget of roughly $500. The Most Important Heart in February Is Your Own
From Katy Kern: Reply
Your heart health can change without much warning - mine did. But I was one of the lucky ones. And now I am so grateful that the American Heart Association has created a quick and easy way to see where you stand when it comes to your heart health. It is called My Life Check www.mylifecheck.heart.org, a confidential online assessment that will give you seven recommended areas of focus and an action plan customized to your lifestyle and health outlook. Many heart issues are preventable, but heart disease is still the #1 cause of death. In fact, more people die of heart disease than of all types of cancers combined. See where you stand today and help to stop heart disease before it even starts.

Most of these postings are FREE, and are from people looking to YOU to help them find things they need. Are you looking for something specific but don't know how to find it? A handyman? A lamp repair shop? A personal trainer or caterer or piano teacher? Wondering where you can buy a new swingset? JAB it!
