Are You Ready for a Fresh New Style? I Can Help...
From: Kimberly Rodriguez
Would you like a wardrobe and style make-over without breaking the bank? It can be  an easy and affordable process that will leave you feeling brand new. I'm a personal stylist. I can help make-over your wardrobe with a few fresh new pieces, while at the same time organizing your closet and creating new outfits from clothes you already own. Read what one of my clients had to say. "I found out about Kim and her company from JustAskBoo. My closet was a mess, I had lost weight and needed new clothes for the spring and summer. I called Kim and she had my closet organized in no time. She brought new clothes to my house which were exactly what I had described I wanted. Everything was very affordable. She makes great suggestions and I can't wait for my winter wardrobe." Call me today for a free phone consultation at 305-989-1671.*

This Sweet Pup Needs a New Dog House
From Miraisy Rodriguez: REPLY I came home to a 3-year-old Pit Bull lying against my gate the other day. He had two bite marks and was pretty thin. I got my own vet to see him free of charge  and currently have him on antiobiotics. He is very well behaved and dog friendly! He is also very jumpy and was probably abused in the past. He needs a GOOD home outside of Miami-Dade County. I am willing to drive him to his new home and help with the first couple bags of food. If you know someone who would like to take him in, please Reply above.
