79 Days Until Christmas!

TREASURES. TREATS. TRADITION.
YOUR HOLIDAYS START HERE

          
I am not one to wish away October & November while pining away for Christmas Music, Hallmark Movies, Hot Chocolate & Santa… but I am one to start making a list and checking it twice in an effort to be with my family on Christmas Eve instead of at the mall!! And since discovering the San Antonio Christmas Showcase I can make that happen!
I spend one day checking off my list at the Christmas Showcase and I AM DONE!! I can grab a gorgeous wreath to take to my mother-in-law as she graciously hosts, a wooden name train for my new nephew, matching shirts for my sis and I, unique glass cutting boards for my neighbors and the list goes on! Hunting accessories, furniture, candles, handbags, jewelry, pottery, holiday decor & more! AND! While I am there, I can eat delicious food, including wine and tamales, from local vendors or take some to go; and, on top of that, leave with my live poinsettias and Christmas tree!! This show HAS IT ALL!!
This year’s Christmas Showcase is coming up November 23-24, 2019 at The Freeman Expo Hall!

Bring The Party to the Patio!

 
Come to the 10th Anniversary Orlando Fall Home & Garden Show and visit with Paradise Grills to get that dream backyard started! They have simple affordable solutions to get you hooked up! They offer Outdoor Kitchens, Grills, Hibachis, Fire Features, Tiki Huts & more!!
Paradise Grills is America’s largest outdoor kitchen manufacturer, providing the strongest built outdoor kitchens using welded steel frames that have lifetime structural warranties! And at this show you get 2018 floor model pricing for the largest savings of the year!! They have outdoor kitchens that fit all styles, budgets and back yards!
These products are ten times stronger than traditional metal stud frames often used by general contractors. Most outdoor kitchen manufacturers typically use thin metal studs held together with self-tapping screws, increasing the chance of warping, sagging or cracking your stucco wall or tile countertop. Their welded steel frame design surpasses industry standards and makes our outdoor kitchens more durable and sustainable for prolonged outdoor use.
If you are ready to start that project and get that backyard right before you host for the holidays (yes, they are around the corner), come on down the Orange County Convention Center August 23-25 for the 10th Anniversary Orlando Fall Home & Garden Show!

Design For Your Lifestyle is Medicine


Have you ever thought about your home, office, or even garden as being a place that can bring you health and well-being- by simply its design?
The design of things around us- impacts us daily. From a frustrating interaction with the coffee pot – to an overstuffed armchair- how things are designed and function from day to day impact how our hopes, dreams, attitudes and bodies respond. A new look at design is suggesting we create “intentional settings” and “productive environments” allowing for growth.
A question to ask – Is your home or office set up to encourage growth physically, mentally, and socially? Or, does it promote a sit on the sofa kinda evening? A change in space plan and furnishing arrangement can give you a place to roll out a yoga mat. A change in space plan and arrangement can also promote- starting that book, painting, sewing project, dream vacation board, class you’ve wanted to take…. It is suggested, all of these life projects need a place to breathe with us during the day and night.
Design has traditionally been a sofa, 2 chairs, a coffee table…….etc, etc, etc.  It does not have to be “that” anymore says Bean at Lifestyles by Bean. Your home can inspire your life and positively impact your journey. From losing weight to finding a new path, she has firsthand experience about the importance of design that is tailored to your personal needs and aspirations. Interior design should be more than “pretty”. Most people don’t realize interior design affects muscles and emotions. So, what do we need to aesthetically change to be more productive, creative, and out of a routine?
Thirty percent of people are physically affected by how their interiors are designed. Lighting, inspiration, ease of flow, scaled furnishings, task and wellbeing areas, and a place to stretch your back are things we often dismiss because we continue to live with a preconceived notion of what “good” design is. It wasn’t until the 1960 when scientists started to question the link between human behavior and our natural and built environments.
Are you raising children? Trying to lose weight? Looking for your passion? Wanting to reach that next level in your career? Bean suggests we look at how our interiors are set to start us on our personal journeys. Consider having a fresh fruit and vegetable station in the kitchen to change eating habits. Or, lose that back ache by losing your coffee table.
Bean will be at the Orlando Home Show addressing this topic. Are the interiors you’re creating today facilitating the life you want to live 10 years from now? Design has a lasting impact on its audience. The design decisions being made today will impact you in the pursuit of individual well-being and within a larger society- tomorrow.
Visit Lifestyles by Bean and SODO Home for a talk about the future of Design on the Celebrity Stage at 2pm Saturday the 12th at the 11TH ANNUAL ORLANDO HOME & GARDEN SHOW.
Bean will also be available for 15 minute design consultations at the show. Stop by the SODO Home Design Center to sign up for the limited availability.  January 11th, 12th, and 13th at The Orlando Convention Center.

Navigating The Three Cooking C’s


Navigating The Three Cooking C’s
Caribbean • Cuban • Cajun
If you are in a dinner rut, like most folks tend to get, or you are looking for new flavors to serve your family, check out this awesome recipe for Jerk Chicken by Pirate Jonny! Pirate Jonny and his wife found a need for good quality rubs, seasonings and sauces to help those ‘flavor challenged’ individuals, spice it up! With Jonny being from Florida and his wife from New Orleans they created perfect flavors to make your meals have a delish Caribbean, Cuban or Cajun flare! And what it won’t have is gluten, MSG, too much sodium or any unnecessary additives!
Pirate Jonny’s Grilled Jerk Chicken
Yields (4) Servings
 
Ingredients:
1 Whole Chicken – Split & Flattened
3tbsp – Pirate Jonny’s Jamaican Jerk seasoning (hot or mild)
1/4c – distilled white vinegar
2tbsp – Soy Sauce
 
Directions:
Prepare hot coals or gas grill with smokebox. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jamaican Jerk seasoning, vinegar and soy sauce and mix well. Add prepared chicken legs (rinsed & patted dry) and turn each leg to coat evenly. Cover bowl tightly and refrigerate at least four hours.
Remove chicken legs from marinade and place the chicken on a grill rack. Grill the chicken for 30-45 minutes, or until the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F with a meat thermometer, and juices run clear from the chicken when pierced. When cooked through, remove from grill and allow to rest while preparing the glaze.
In a small sauce pan over medium high heat, add the ingredients for the glaze and bring to a boil, then immediately lower heat and reduce the liquid to an almost syrupy glaze. Pour glaze on chicken when it comes out of the oven and serve.
 
Pirate tips:

  • Use the marinade recipe on the bottle of Jamaican Jerk!
  • Use their Syrena’s Seduction with ranch dressing as a dip or add a little to the glaze for an extra kick!

 

Think an Interior Design Consultation is out of your budget?! Nope!


Orlando’s best Home & Garden Show is back at the Orange County Convention Center and offering FREE Interior Design Consultations, by The Design Diva, Natalie Kight! It is easy to feel intimidated by your interiors or know where to begin, prepare to take advantage of this amazing opportunity in the following ways:

  1. Bring photos, drawings and/or measurements of your space.

The more you have for us, the more we will be able to give you. It’s hard to imagine a space without some sort of visual, even for a designer. Bring in what you have. Any existing pieces or floor plans you want to work with. It’s hard sometimes – but any samples of existing colors within your space that will not be removed during the updating process are extremely helpful with selecting new colors for a space.

2. Have a budget in mind.

This is a big one. Although budget plays an extremely important role in decision making, clients rarely figure that part out first – but they should! Having a budget in mind not only gives your designer a ‘stopping point,’ but ALSO helps their creativity flow. Anyone can create a gorgeous space with $2M dollars in their pocket, but if you give your designer a realistic budget you can actually work with, you’re more likely to get a design you can achieve.

3. Take the advice given.

We get it – We haven’t seen your space and don’t quite know your colors. But you came to us for help – so take it! The most important part about receiving a free design consultation is actually taking the advice that is given. Too often, clients will resist the change they were looking for in the first place. Not every decision is going to be comfortable, some will take some getting used to. Design affects the way we live our everyday lives. Change your home’s design, and change yours.
