 We are only a few weeks into summer and if you are  anything like us at Team JAB, you've already hosted or attended several parties, barbecues and pool-side fetes. Spontaneous celebrations and road trips abound during summer making it feel as if June through August is one non-stop party. Everyone loves this time of year with its lazy days, picnics, swimming, biking and visits to parks. To help you enjoy summer to the fullest, recent editions of JustAskBoo Palm Beach have featured local beaches sure to please even the pickiest beach-goer, destinations perfect for staycations, meat and wine pairings perfect for your next party and tips on keeping you and your loved ones safe in the water and sun. Because at JustAskBoo, we are committed to keeping our readers informed and love that you pay it forward each week by helping fellow JABBERS to find the best Palm Beach has to offer on everything from caterers to family therapists. So, reach out to JABBERS this week looking for a place to stay in Paris and advice on where to buy plantation shutters. And read on to find the perfect place to enjoy great food this summer that won't involve you having to cook or clean up!
Happy JABBING!
-Team JAB

Down to an Art
We have a valuable Dan Corbin sculpture that we would like to find a buyer for, but we're not sure where to list this rare piece. Do you know of a dealer or a gallery that buys/sells fine artwork? I appreciate your replies. Thank you!

Shutter to Think!
We are in the process of doing some renovations in our home and I am looking for plantation shutters for our sliding doors. If you can recommend a company that sells and installs these types of shutters, please contact me. We live in Boynton. Thank you! |
Affairs of the Heart
I recently learned that my best friend's husband is having an affair. I am conflicted as to what to do because her husband is my husband's best friend. They also have two very young children. I would love to hear your opinions on how to handle this matter. Thank you!

Picture of Health
I have been looking into going to one of The Biggest Loser's fitness resorts for a week or so to help me get a grip on my weight and health. As all of these programs are in different parts of the country, I am looking for a local program offering similar services. I need to go somewhere for at least a week to really educate myself. Your suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you!

National Treasure
From Natalia Esteban: REPLY We will be vacationing in DC with our three kids, ages six, eight and nine, and are looking for a family friendly hotel in the area, preferably with on-site parking.

Scrap It!
My twin granddaughters are turning one and I would like to give my daughter-in-law a scrapbook that documents their first year of life. Unfortunately, the creative genes completely skipped over me!

Roll With It!

I Heard it Through the Grapevine ...
From Team JAB
 We all have that one "go to" friend. She's the girl you ask where to get the best eyebrow wax, how much to tip your kids' camp counselors, or where to buy the best hostess gift for the friend who has everything. Well, now you have that in JustAskBoo. Except, you're lucky enough to have the opinion of more than one "friend." In this community of like-minded, sophisticated Palm Beachers with high standards, you know that when you hear it through OUR grapevine, you can bet that you will uncover some of Palm Beach's best kept secrets! So whatever your needs, post it HERE where JABBERS just like you are standing by to help.
