Gifts from the Heart

Gary Spindt Will Navigate LETMESAIL in 2008

Gary Spindt Will Navigate LETMESAIL in 2008

The Santa Clarita Valley is very fortunate to have fulltime resources now available for our growing population of people with disabilities.  LETMESAIL (an acronym for Lifestyle Enrichment Through Meaningful Exercise, Social Activity and Independent Living) has launched the next phase of its’ organizational development in order to better serve individuals with special needs in our community. 

Saavy Computer User?

Saavy Computer User?

The holidays have come and gone and once again it’s time to put away the decorations and set your sights on following through with those New Years resolutions.  Like many of you I have pledged the standard “I am going to eat better this year, get more exercise etc.”

The Remote Control Advantage

The Remote Control Advantage

Today’s home entertainment systems, from modest to sophisticated, all have one thing in common, the remote control.  How many different remotes do you have sitting on your coffee table?  Do you have to perform a carefully orchestrated sequence of button presses just to watch a DVD?  How often have you grabbed the wrong remote just to change the channel?  Wouldn’t you rather have one remote that can do it all and make your system easier to use?

Have No Patience? Text!

Have No Patience? Text!

Ever wondered why so many people these days use text messaging?  Because it’s a quick, easy and efficient way to get that information across.  It may seem intimidating when you see it done at warp speed by a third-grader, but it really is easier than you would initially think.  Cell phones have an entry mode that predicts what you want to spell.  The average text message takes only seconds, compared to several minutes for the average call. 

A Bundle of Thanks

A Bundle of Thanks

As 2007 comes to a close, we would like to say a special thank you to all of our wonderful customers for their support all year long.  We would also like to take this opportunity to say a special thanks to the wonderful firefighters and our law enforcement during our most recent fires here in the Santa Clarita Valley.  We really learned a lot during the fires.  We shared so many stories with our customers about the experiences they had during this time. 

So Many Beads, So Little Time

So Many Beads, So Little Time

Selling beads has been a family business for Gayle Joy, owner of Beads ‘n Other Needs, for over 40 years. Gayle grew up with a love and appreciation of beading and the ever-changing fashions in jewelry and beadwork and enjoys helping her customers develop the skills and the passion for beading. Gayle feels strongly about reaching out to the community as well, donating to the Michael Hoefflin Foundation and The Painted Turtle annual event and advertising with local schools and charities.   

The Gift of Art for the Holiday Season

The Gift of Art for the Holiday Season

Being in the art gallery business for more than 25 years I have seen many customers give their friends and family members a work of art or some framed special memento for the holidays.  Art is a very personal gift, and giving the right piece to a loved one or someone special really can make their holiday unique.  Art is a gift that lasts, retains its value and can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Healthy Chocolate: Does It Really Exist?

Healthy Chocolate: Does It Really Exist?

Oprah loves this product; so does Larry King.  What is it you ask?  It’s XOCAIä Healthy Chocolate.  Most Americans tend to think of chocolate as nothing more than a sweet candy treat.  Well, I am here to tell you that chocolate is no longer just a quick fix for your sweet tooth.  XOCAIä (pronounced “sho-sigh”) Healthy Chocolate is made from a combination of the world’s two greatest super foods – raw cacao and the acai berry.  Both raw cacao and the acai berry from the Amazon are powerful antioxidants.

Sexy Beast: Canine Style Unleashed

Sexy Beast: Canine Style Unleashed

One woman was able to teach the old beauty industry some new tricks after unleashing a line of pet beauty products.

People’s relationships with their pets have truly evolved.  Pet owners comprise over 63 percent of the American population and sales for pet products and services have grown steadily, reaching $2.4 billion in 2005.  But even with all of the trendy sweaters and doggie rain boots, entrepreneur and dog lover Renée Ryan knew that something was missing.  Even her fashionably savvy Boxer, Austin, needed a little refresher between shampoos.  He was a rescue, and with a past of abuse and broken trust, it was difficult to get him to a groomer.  Ryan came up short on many a shopping trip, finding shampoos and conditioners but nothing to care for Austin’s coat between washes. 

Silver Rose Debutantes Presented at Tea

Silver Rose Debutantes Presented at Tea

The 2007-2008 Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Guild Silver Rose Debutantes were presented to the Santa Clarita Valley during a special tea.
On the menu were tasty hors d’oeuvres and finger sandwiches, fantastic desserts, and high emotions as eleven seniors were given a silver medallion by members of their families.  The medallion, a traditional silver rose emblem, will be worn by the debutantes at the 2008 Silver Rose Ball.

Diamonds Really Are Forever

Diamonds Really Are Forever

Did you know that the value of diamonds is actually rising?

So those gems you inherited from your mom or aunt are actually worth more now than when they were first purchased!  So take good care of those lovely gems by keeping them clean.  Dirt buildup can cause wear on jewelry that could easily be avoided.  Visit your jeweler at least once a year to have your fine jewelry professionally cleaned. 

Shop ’til You Drop Days at The Saugus Swap Meet

Shop ’til You Drop Days at The Saugus Swap Meet

With only a limited number of Sundays available until Christmas, you won’t want to miss the shopping opportunities available at the Saugus Swap Meet this season.  Electronics, sporting goods, furniture, jewelry, toys, men’s clothing, women’s clothing, children’s clothing, accessories, handbags, automotive gear and accessories, collectibles, holiday decorating, gifts, hobby items, stocking stuffers, it can all be found at the Saugus Swap Meet. 

The Perfect Holiday Gift

The Perfect Holiday Gift

So how are you doing with your holiday shopping?  Are you getting frustrated trying to find that perfect gift for your loved one?
If your someone special is a golfer, I have got the perfect idea for you!  No, it’s not a new set of Titleist irons (although that’s a great gift too); I’m talking about something that’s much more affordable.

Embracing “iLife” on my Mac

Embracing “iLife” on my Mac

Change is a word that at some time we all fear, especially when it pertains to our own lives.  No doubt the word change has become synonymous with technology.  Every time you turn around there is something new promising you everything from a whiter smile to allowing you new and exciting ways to save on car insurance.  For most of us all of these claims fall far short of our hope for some great new utopian life.  I have realized, however, that my life has changed dramatically over the years and the transition has been almost effortless thanks to my Mac.

What’s Your Holiday Choice: Blu-Ray or HD DVD?

What’s Your Holiday Choice: Blu-Ray or HD DVD?

Happy Holidays Santa Clarita!  There are many things you should be thinking about as you go through December.  Where will we go for the Holiday dinner?  Where will I do my last - minute shopping?  Why am I reading this article when I should be out buying that new High Definition player that the family has been asking for?
This article is for you, so read it before you hit the local big box retailer and are forced to ask some overworked kid “Hey, what should I buy for my family, Blu-Ray or HD DVD?

Strategies For Success

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, The Magazine of Santa Clarita 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.

Not too many communities are lucky to have such a current, informative and creative publication.
