As a South Florida resident, you learn how important sunscreen is to protect you from sun damage. No matter the predicted forecast, sunscreen is the one step you should never skip before heading outdoors for the day. After applying sunscreen people wash or wipe off their hands, leaving the hands unprotected. Now their hands are exposed. Be intentional about protecting your hands with sunscreen.

You may have to pay capital gains taxes on the profit from the sale of your main home, but only if you make a bundle. Single individuals can keep up to $250,000 of the gain…

It is time to spring forward! Sunday, March 13, 2022, is Daylight Saving Time in the United States. It is the practice of setting the clock forward by one hour when there is longer daylight during the day, so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less.

On December 20, 2021, South Floridians and Americans commemorate National Sangria Day! The Spanish were on to something tasty. Pick your preference, be it red or white, a nicely chilled Sangria is refreshing. Pour a glass and instantly be transported to the sandy beaches of Spain. It is made of sweetened wine packed with fresh fruit and sometimes spiked with liquor, sangria is a colorful and refreshing drink for summer parties.
