Did you know the month of June is “Dive” month? Are you a certified diver? It’s a great thing to do on vacations. I mean who wouldn’t want to swim with the fishes and see beautiful coral?

Step out of your comfort zone and “Learn to Dive” in Fort Lauderdale this month! All you need to do is:

  • Start the pre-certification online
  • Conduct an open-water dive in Greater Fort Lauderdale
  • It takes 3 days to complete the certification process
  • Enjoy a free fourth night when you stay a minimum of three nights at a participating hotel
  • Free graduation dive. Congratulations!

If this sounds good to you – learn more about the different dive packages!

Some chicken, pork and corn in the barbeque

Summertime makes me think of some good ole barbecue. Luckily, we’ve got the best place in Florida, and we’re lucky enough to have it in our hometown. Bar-B-Q Jack’s, family owned business,  has been serving the residents of Margate for years and is honestly the best place to go for some delicious barbecue!

You can dine in,  visit the drive through, pick up, or even have it catered for a party. The hickory smoked meats are to die for and you can choose from: ribs, beef, pork, chicken, and even catfish.

Have you been to Bar-Q-Jack’s?

Sleeping Cat

Stress = not your friend. Relax is the way to do it! It’s no fun when you finally lay in bed and you can’t relax. Your to-do list gets longer, your mind goes at 9o mph,  and you won’t fall asleep. Don’t get on your email and leave your cell on the nightstand. Here’s a few things that help me fix this problem:

  • Drink tea before you fall asleep (make sure it’s the sleepy kind, instead of caffeinated)
  • A glass of wine
  • Listen to music or white noise (download the white noise app from iTunes)
  • Take a warm bath
  • Read a book (just make sure it’s enjoyable)

What helps you relax and makes it easier for you to sleep at night?
