It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the first day of summer vacation and now, here we are, into the first week of school. You know what they say, "time flies when you're having fun!" And here at Team JAB, we've been doing just that. In between covering the royal birth in London and JABBING it up with Bethenny Frankel, we spent the last couple of months like most JABBERS - enjoying quality time with family and friends. While we may have officially bid adieu to the lazy days of summer when we walked the kids to the bus stop yesterday or braved the back-to-school morning traffic, the fun is actually just beginning. JAB's fifth anniversary party and Palm Beach's JABBERS Night Out are only a few weeks away. So, keep an eye out for more details about both events where we look forward to catching up with our amazing JustAskBoo community. Until then JABBERS,
Happy new school year and Happy JABBING! -Team JAB |

The Skinny on SkinnyGirl
 | From leftt to right: JAB Founder and President Boo Zamek, JAB Editorial Director Victoria Assa, Bethenny Frankel, JAB Miami South Sales Executive Kati Foley and JAB Ft. Lauderdale Editor Rachael Hodyno

Last week, Team JAB partnered with Books & Books in Miami for a breakfast event with Bethenny Frankel, quintessential entrepreneur and author of several books including her newest, Skinnygirl Solutions: Your Straight-Up Guide to Home, Health, Family, Career, Style and Sex. Not sure what to expect, a crowded room full of sophisticated, chic women eagerly awaited Bethenny's arrival. She entered like a force and immediately captivated the audience by being ... one of us. After a moderated Q&A she opened the floor, and her responses to questions ranging from skin care (check your bottles: simple is better) to brand management (she has two: SkinnyGirl and Bethenny) were humorous, informative, and relatable. JAB President and Founder Boo Zamek felt that connection. "I know what she means when she says, 'I don't want to hear 'no we can't do that', but rather, 'here's how we can make that happen'." And, here at Team JAB, we're doing just that - making things happen. So, stay tuned and keep an eye out for changes coming to JustAskBoo that will remind you why you love being a JABBER!
