Color Our World
From Anna Cruz-Morales: REPLY I've been working on the interior design overhaul for our corporate office. Now the fun begins and we are ready to paint. The office is over 14,000 square feet and work can only be completed on the weekends. It is a very open floor plan but we do have some offices, carpet, and the job will require quite a bit of detail work around windows, corners, etc. I'm looking for recommendations for highly dependable, efficient, and quality painters. Someone with precise attention to detail is a must. If you have any suggestions, send them on my way!

Save the Children
The more conflict in the divorce process, the more damaged children of the divorce will be. That is why our mission at the Divorce Mediation Center of South Florida is to spare children as much pain and anguish as possible by guiding their parents through this emotionally charged time in an atmosphere of mutual respect and dignity. We teach our clients how to better communicate and negotiate with each other; a skill that helps them co-parent more peacefully long after the divorce is over. Click HERE to visit our website.

The Skinny on SkinnyGirl
On Tuesday, Team JAB partnered with Books & Books 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'." Thanks, Bethenny, for inspiring Team JAB to make it happen! | |
