Colour the World Beautiful with Rituals Colour Salon

by | Dec 22, 2008 |

The Art of Beauty and Wellness

January brings a lot of “new” for people — New Year, New Year’s Resolutions and new Rituals.  The word “Ritual” has a few definitions, but I felt the following truly defined what Renee Kaehny and her staff live by at the Salon; “a series of actions or type of behavior regularly and invariably followed by someone.”  And when I say Renee and her staff live by “Rituals” at the salon I mean you can expect excellence, professionalism and caring.  

Say I Do to Flawless Wedding Day Makeup

by | Dec 22, 2008 |

It’s your wedding day.  Dressed in your dreamlike gown, you walk down the aisle.  Everyone in the room turns to look at you.  Then you reach the end and you find your soon-to-be husband looking at you in adoration and anticipation.  It’s the day most girls have been dreaming about forever.  With all the eyes upon you on your wedding day, the last thing you want to think about is your make-up failing you, your mascara smudging or your lipstick fading.

Electrolysis

by | Dec 22, 2008 |

Most people with excess hair problems don’t know that methods such as tweezing and waxing are making their hair issues worse. I tell my clients it’s like cultivating a garden when you wax the hair on your face, a hormonal area, you are increasing the blood supply and telling those hairs to grow deeper and stronger, and this is because it is nature’s way to save those hairs. Anyone with this problem will relate to what I’m saying.

When in Doubt, Make a Report to Your Insurer

by | Mar 31, 2011 |

Last month, I stressed the importance of reporting claims to your insurer promptly, especially under “claims made and reported” policies.  Of course, that is the best practice for all types of insurance.  After all, there is seldom any downside to prompt reporting other than the hassle (usually pretty minor) involved.
Moreover, policyholders should generally err on the side of prompt reporting even when it is not clear that there has actually been a claim made. 

Commercial Collections

by | Mar 31, 2011 |

Instead of more on vehicle liens, there seems to be a call for information about commercial collections.  Commercial collections covers any unpaid bill of a business.  There are different rules for commercial collections than the more stringent rules that apply to collections on consumer debt.
The collection of a debt is essentially an action based upon a contract. 

Write it Down!

by | Mar 31, 2011 |

If you’re going to be involved in any kind of activity that might have legal consequences in the future, a most important thing for you to do, will be to have kept good records.  In particular, if something should go wrong along the way of your enterprise, and a dispute with another should result, a most important thing you’re going to need will be an accurate statement of exactly what happened. 

Resumés and Cover Letters… How Long?

by | Mar 31, 2011 |

Long enough!
First let’s address resumé length and content.  Perceptions abound:  One page, two pages, 10 page complete curricula vitae.  Hmmm.  Your document should be typeset at a size that is comfortably legible to almost any reader.  Your text should not be so blocked and lumped together that it is quite horrid to read.  So if it takes two pages to tell your story effectively, then by all means go for two pages. 

Managing Your Business with CRM

by | Mar 31, 2011 |

Whether you have a small business or a large business, you likely have customer details, partner details, billing details and some kind of support details you need to track for your business.  The question isn’t really what you are tracking, but how you are tracking, storing and even reporting on these details.  Many people are storing these details in Excel spreadsheets, their email and documents saved on their computer.  But I have a much better solution.

Cracking Your Nest Egg

by | Mar 31, 2011 |

With so much focus these days on saving for retirement, it’s easy to overlook an equally critical step that relates directly to your future security—how successfully you convert your savings into retirement cash flow.  This process might sound simple, but it prompts several key questions: Which account should you draw from first?  How do you keep your remaining assets growing?  And, perhaps most important, how much can you take out each year without running out of money?

Messages That Make a Difference Happening Weekly at NorthPark Community Church

by | Jun 28, 2010 |

Ever been to church, heard a so-so message, and left thinking, “Good.  That’s done.  Now back to the things that matter.”  Or, have you found yourself really trying hard to hang with a speaker but all the while wondered, “What does this have to with me, my life or the things I care about?”
At NorthPark, our messages are thoughtful, practical, and inspiring. 

COC is Seeking Actors, Singers and Dancers for Fall Production

by | Jun 28, 2010 |

The College of the Canyons theatre and music departments are in need of cowboys, cowgirls, country crooners, dancers and actors, of all ages and abilities, to audition for its fall production of the foot-stomping musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Written by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson, with music and lyrics by Carol Hall, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a happy-go-lucky romp centering on the infamous Chicken Ranch brothel — so named because during the Great Depression poultry was accepted as a form of payment.

Is My Retirement Plan Community Property?

by | Jun 28, 2010 |

Pursuant to Family Code Section 760, community property in general is all property acquired by a married person during the marriage other than property acquired by gift or inheritance.  But where does the retirement plan factor in?  A retirement plan acquired during marriage is generally considered community property and spouses will each have a one-half interest in this asset regardless of which spouse actually made the payments.  The issue becomes more complex when a retirement plan was acquired before marriage but a spouse also made contributions to the plan during the marriage. 

Creative Partnerships Save Hart District Summer School

by | Jun 28, 2010 |

With school districts across the state canceling summer school due to the State’s budget crisis, the Hart District has been able to maintain a summer program that will benefit approximately 6,000 students this year.  Thanks to creative partnerships with College of the Canyons and Opportunities for Learning charter, the Hart District will be able to provide a modified summer program that still meets the needs of our students while trimming up to $500,000 from summer school costs to the district.

Children’s Bureau Reaches Milestone of 1,000th Child Adopted

by | Jun 28, 2010 |

Children’s Bureau reached a wonderful milestone in its vast history in September 2009 with the 1,000th adoption of a child in its foster care and adoptions program.  On that particular day, there were actually six children who were adopted by four families.  Two of those children were sisters, Jazmin and Sarah who were adopted by a couple in Los Angeles.
“We were in our mid-40s when we got married and decided that adoption was a way to grow our family.  We were trained and certified by Children’s Bureau and soon after received the call that two sisters, ages two and three at the time, were available.  The transition from being newlyweds to new parents has been amazing.   The laughter and joy in our home is contagious,” said Mrs. N.

Hybrid Water System

by | Sep 29, 2011 |

The term “Hybrid” has been used frequently over the last two decades for many things from fruits, vegetables, and farm animals to fertilizers, plastics and automobiles.  Hybrid can be defined as the “offspring of genetically different parents.”  Often, the hybrid product can be more efficient than what it is replacing.  As technology improves, the costs generally go down and quality improves.

Fall is Upon Us

by | Sep 29, 2011 |

In California that doesn’t mean much; a little less heat, a time change and Santa Ana winds.  I am always affected by this time change, I hate the dark hours and it takes me a month to adjust.  I seek light.  
When I bought my business 22 years ago, the first thing I did was replace my garage doors. 

Why Let your Kitchen or Bathroom Grow Any Older?

by | Sep 29, 2011 |

Perhaps you’ve lived in your home for five, 10, 15 or even 30 years.  You are standing in your kitchen and could imagine all these wonderful possibilities.  You see a bigger kitchen with brand new cabinets and countertops, an island, a bar area and even dream of the little things that could make life easier, a lazy Susan, deeper drawers, and pull-out shelves.  Where you can have more space for cooking, and storing or a little more space that is just your own.  A kitchen is not just a kitchen.  It is an area for visiting, laughing and spending time with your family.  It is a coffee house, small restaurant, meeting place, a place for homework and midnight snacks.

Water Experts: Ford Helps CLWA Bring Water Recycling to SCV Water Resources Planner Navigates Regulations, Technical Challenges

by | Sep 29, 2011 |

You recycle your aluminum cans, right?  Plastic bottles?  Paper products?
Most Santa Clarita Valley residents would answer, “Of course!” Recycling is an important part of our community’s collective effort to help protect the environment and use the planet’s resources wisely.  And, Jeff Ford, Principal Water Resources Planner for Castaic Lake Water Agency, is looking to help our valley take its recycling successes up a notch.
Make that a big notch.

Earthquake Prepared?

by | Aug 30, 2011 |

Of course you are not.  It is always a surprise.  But she is coming and possibly sooner than you think.  We are pretty fortunate to live in a country that has strict enforcement of its building codes.  Those building codes are constantly improving for the safety of the building occupant.  Unfortunately, the items that are part of the building codes and inspected by the building inspectors relating to the structure of the building, cannot be seen once the home is built. 

The Colors Blue and Green

by | Aug 30, 2011 |

This article will be the first in a series I plan on writing about color and how it has a lot of influence in our day-to-day lives.  Color gives us direction (red, yellow, green light), it warns us of possible dangers ahead (caution yellow), and it gives a sense of belonging (red, white and blue).  Color is important to us and it has an impact on the choices we make.

Thank you, Moe, Linda, Alex, and the rest of Santa Clarita Magazine staff, both past and present!

On behalf of all the spiders, ants, rats, and crickets (really all of the insects) of Awesome Town (AKA Santa Clarita), this is a letter of concern: Over the last few years and of more recent, many of our friends and family – roughly 70 million of ‘em – have gone missing. Many others have packed their bags and moved out of here, leaving those who remain to work harder to make a living – invade your home looking for shelter for our little ones, gathering sugar for our queen and her eggs, spinning extra webs to catch dinner. It has come to our attention that you – Santa Clarita Magazine are partly to blame for this.
We understand you have made it easy to work with No Bugs Pest Control – yeah,  that “fancy organic pest control company”.  That your advertising rates are reasonable and that your work ethics are higher than others. Your staff – super professional and that they’re fun to work with. Vary patient and offer help when needed and return phone calls in a timely manor. Your magazine is so big and it really captures the attention of the home owners who read it, (to be honest with you, I’ve even caught myself peaking over the shoulder of one of my victims to read an article or two – but that’s another story…or letter). Your credibility and years of dedication to the residents of Awesome Town – 25 years! (by the way we’ve been here for over a million or so…) make the advertising effective.
It is because of this and your “awesomeness” that our populations are dwindling! Homeowners are seeing the ads and calling No Bugs. All we are asking is…stop being so “awesome” and “professional”… you’re really making it hard on all of us!
Extremely concerned about our future,
Mrs. Ant (Uncle could not be here – he too went missing) , Mrs. Widow, Hairy Rat and Jiminy Cricket

In this, or any economy, you have to get the biggest bang for your advertising buck. In my tracking, Santa Clarita Magazine has always more than paid for itself throughout the years, Stephanie Kern Hart, my sales rep, is a joy to work with, and people consistently tell me they enjoy my monthly articles. So for me, it’s a no brainer to advertise with Santa Clarita Magazine.

There are many choices when it comes to media buys, and I believe that one should never put all of their eggs in one media basket. But I will tell you this, Santa Clarita Magazine has been a strong anchor and staple for many of my marketing and public relations clients. They also have a very talented ad representative, Valerie. She skillfully assists her clients in making wise and informed decisions. She is the best both from a personal and professional perspective. Moe and Linda, congratulations on your success. Wishing you many more years of success.
