 We can't wait for tonight! After months of planning our fifth anniversary fête, the work is finally done  and the JABBING begins! After indulging in your tried and true, and sometimes delicious, DIY beauty solutions {see below} and visiting JABBER-recommended nail techs, stylists and make-up artists, we are ready to celebrate our extraordinary JABBERS who are beautiful, inside and out. To all of you joining us this evening at Zadok Gallery, we can't wait to thank you in person and to celebrate five years of sharing, connecting and community building in South Florida. #5YJABBING
See you tonight, and Happy JABBING!

From Barbara Kreisberg: REPLY
I am searching for a caring and competent individual to be a companion to my 90-year-old mother on select weekends in Sunrise, and help her at bedtime. She is intelligent and alert, and uses a walker for balance. Candidates should speak English and have their own car.

Shhh, It's a (Beauty) Secret!
We recently asked JABBERS to blow our minds (and our hair) by sharing tried and true DIY concoctions. Below are some of their best kept beauty secrets for you to try from the comfort of your kitchen.
Go Green with Repurposed Tea Bags Camomile-enthusiast Ann Schepmann saves them in the refrigerator after she's enjoyed a cup. "When I'm ready to use them, I squeeze out the excess liquid and place them on my eyes for 20 minutes. It feels cool and soothing, and it really works to reduce puffy eyes!"
Go Bananas with Your Hair Mask Valerie Ramkhelewan mashes a banana with a tablespoon of honey, and massages it into her hair. 10 minutes and a warm rinse gets her healthy hair! "The potassium is terrific for repairing the damage done by my blow dryer and curling iron."
An Egg-cellent Skin Solution Gale Aycox wards off sagging skin with egg whites. She beats until firm and spread them evenly over my face. After 20 minutes, she rinses with warm water. "I noticed a difference after only a few weeks!"
Get A Foot Up with Baking Soda + Petroleum Jelly Long distance runner Carol Anton is constantly combating callouses. "I treat them by soaking my feet in warm water mixed with 1/2 cup of baking soda for 30 minutes. I towel dry, slather with Vaseline and top with thick cotton socks." Leave on overnight for pedi perfect piggies in the morning.
And Just In Time for Oktoberfest... Beer is Rachael Hodyno's secret to a shiny head of hair. "I won't shampoo or condition my fine hair before an event, but a beer rinse breathes a new life into my locks." Pour it on, work it in gently and rinse. Team JAB advice: Remove the bottle from the shower to avoid potentially uncomfortable discussions with loved ones.

Get With the ProgramFrom Lourdes Nicola: REPLY I am considering enrolling in FIU's online MBA program and would like to get feedback from anyone who's recently completed the program or is currently enrolled. What are the weekly time demands/commitments involving completion of assignments/projects/tests? Are you happy with the quality of courses and instructors? Your feedback is appreciated!
|
Going it AloneFrom Rasha Madkour: REPLY If you have experience selling a property for sale by owner, I would love to hear from you about the advantages/pitfalls and how you went about the process. Your advice and tips would be very helpful!

Country LivingFrom Valerie Ramkhelawan: REPLY I would like to decorate my living room with French country style furniture. If you know a store that sells these types of furniture pieces, please contact me. Thanks!

Model BehaviorFrom Brenda Vanegas: REPLY I am interested in getting my three-year-old twins into modeling and acting. Do you know of a good agency for children? Your replies will be very helpful.

Stain Stopper
From Julie De Llanos: REPLY White wine was recently spilled on my microfiber couch, leaving a stain. I read online that rubbing alcohol can get it out but I am afraid to try it. Have you tried that remedy before? Or, can you recommend a great cleaning product or company that can get the stain out? I appreciate your replies.

Hedge Your BetWe need to replace the hedges in our backyard and need something tall, dense and relatively fast growing. We like the look of bamboo. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy bamboo and tips on the specific varieties. Are the "clumping" bamboos easy to maintain or do they also spread? Suggestions on other types of tall hedges are welcome as well!
