Things you need to know about Mexico City? Based on my first experience.
- Very Clean. Mexico City is one of the cleanest cities that I’ve ever been. I know what your thinking I was shocked as well. I was thinking third world country, poverty, etc. but to my dismay not at all …every bathroom came with an attendant that keep it super spotless. I had no problem tipping for this service. Could we not do this here in the United States? The streets are also constantly being swept and washed no garbage on streets.
- Lots of culture. Saw one of the best theater productions it was a 5 star show. Please don’t miss this amazing theatrical experience. I’m still in awe of it.
- The Food. We ate everything, everywhere and had no problems with(Montezuma Revenge)AKA. food sickness. But as a side note we did choose to skip the street vendors and tried to chose bottled water.
- Weather/Dress So your not in Cancun and even though it’s warm in the day and cool at night, no one ever wears shorts or tanks. Here I am at the Pyramids its a little cool but not enough for a jacket and its July!! No I didn’t climb to the top I’m such a chicken when it comes to heights!!
- Hotels Mexico City has some amazing hotels at some great bargains. Check on 4 and 5 star hotels you will be super impressed. If you are traveling from US or Euro your going to love the exchange rate! We stayed at the Krystal Grand Reforma Uno, it was amazing and super modern with large rooms, spa, with great amenities and close to historic district. If you stay there make sure you book a rate that will include the hotel breakfast its well worth it. We were on the 18th floor…remember my fear of heights…Yikes!!!!
If I were to go again I would also consider the Grand Hotel de Mexico due to its location inside the historic distric and the fact that I’m a big sucker for antiques and grand old things! It looks very romantic. See Below.
It’s 50 Sweetie……Buckle In With These Must Knows.
Weight Losing 10 lbs before 50 feels different. You’ve been on Keto, weight point watcher you name it and finally your 10 lbs down. You slide into those size 8 jeans…NOT! The scale says you lost ten, it’s just after 50 you probably lost it in your ankles. 😤
Hair Is that a Hair? OMG 😮 is that an old lady chin hair! WTF….You know the one, the witch with the mole in the scary movies had one on her chin she was usually green. Grab the tweezers and the magnifying mirror ladies. And yes once you pull it two will return…tell your wax girl you need a chin wax too.
Anger Bursts of Anger. Did you just snap in the grocery store line as the young mother let her daughter ram the cart into your ankles? Going from 0 to Bitch mode with no filter seems easier after 50. Things used to not set you off especially kids but now a screaming kid or one with an cart send your blood on boil.
Don’t Stress You tend to realize that life is not worth stressing about the little stuff for it takes care of itself. Its important time to enjoy life in the moment.
Me Me Me You are no longer the center of your children’s world so you have more “ME” time. That’s a good perk, you can suddenly put yourself first. Enrich your mind by taking a class, go for more walks, join a gym or fill your soul in by joining a spiritual group at your local church.
Sex Sex is not dead at 50, it’s amazing. You are more in tune with your wants, tend to have more time alone with your partner, more funds for romantic retreats and it’s not about making babies, it’s about you and your partner. So go for it and be adventurous, this is your time.
50 is fun, fabulous, exciting and all the adjectives you want to give it. What you must give it is the effort it deserves. Surround yourself with people that you enjoy, don’t stress and enjoy yourself. 50 may bring on a few extra lbs in the mid section and a few new wrinkles around the eyes but ….enjoy them, you’ve more than earned them!!

You can’t pour from an empty cup…..take care of yourself first!!!
Three simple things couples can do to improve a stressed marriage?
1. EXERCISE. It a great stress reliever. I know who wants to walk when you feel like banging your head against a walk. But it’s a know fact that stress can be relieved by moving. Plus it’s hard to scream when you are breathing hard from exercising. So grab your partner and dance, run, walk or swim. Start with a 20 minute exercise, anyone can give twenty minutes and set goal from there. .
2. LAUGH. Not a good thing to do in the middle of a screaming match but as soon as things cool down. Try thinking of a moment that you had as a couple that was funny. If possible reenact the moment, if that’s not possible tell your partner what your thinking and why it was funny. Try to make a game out of making each other laugh. Remember the old saying laughter is the best medicine.
3. PRAY. It may sound odd, but the best time for a spiritual shout out is during stressful times.
Grab your partners hands and ask them to pray with you. Pray for your relationship, pray for better days, pray for misunderstandings or new beginnings. A lot of couples pray but many don’t pray as a couple. There is extreme power in couple prayer.

5 Things to do when your AC is not working in Florida?
1. Be patient because No AC technician is coming for at least three days. Summer is the busiest time of the year for the AC companies and your lucky if they even answer the phone.
2. Get your wallet Ready. There is no better place to work in air conditioning than in Florida. It’s like a diamond 💎 mine. You can live with out food in the sunshine state but not AC.<
Put in a wall unit. You know the one you had left over from the hurricane. Drag it out and install it in the window while you wait on the AC crew to show up.<
Pack your bags and Check in a hotel. This one is a little pricey but what the hell your gonna be broke anyways might as well not be hot and broke.<
Find a friend or neighbor with a pool. You have to do this very carefully, mix up a pitcher of margaritas and show up with your swim suit on floaty in one hand and pitcher of margaritas in other. Hopefully they invite you in. 😓👙
Hair Salon No No’s!!
- I really don’t like how your cutting my hair. Let’s face it you never insult people with sharp objects in their hand, but especially if they are using that object on your hair and close to your face.
- I prefer to purchase my products at my local drugstore because you charge too much money. Now remember sometime they get a commission on sales a polite no is a better answer and leave it at that.
- Insisting she make you look just like the beautiful model in the picture. We all want to look like the model but let’s face it even with the best haircut in the world, realize that is a picture of the photo shopped model.
- Hand me the scissors and let me just snip a few hairs off myself. Thinking you are a hairdresser ranks up their with thinking you are a doctor,psychologist etc, let them do their job they have the license.
- So you think it will do you some good to say you only tip based on your satisfaction. That’s not a good move, tips should never be discussed why anyone is providing you the service.
OFFICE BITCH, Could it be you?
-
Dressing Provocative. So you lost a few lbs and suddenly people are acting different because , no one wants to see the “Girls” or the club wear!!! So watch out. Leave that at home for the weekends.
-
Talking to people condescending manner. Yes, you sometimes have to stand up to people but remember not to talk down and belittle others. How you treat others shows your character.
-
Sucking Up to the Boss. Bosses deserve respect because they are the Boss but NOTHING is worse than someone going overboard trying to please a boss. No one likes the brown noses.
-
Not Share what you know with others. ( Hoard Knowledge ). Listen up knowledge hoarders, your day will come, people despise you, plus with Google out there some of your info you think is a secret is already out on the net. Share you can’t take it with you and when you hoard knowledge, It shows a real sign of insecurity.
-
Thinking your Superior to Co-workers. This is a hard one, it’s a bit arrogance, it’s a wall you put up. You make it easy for others to talk about you behind your back. Sometimes you have to be part of the water-cooler Klan or you will be the the talk of the water-cooler.
- If your Guilty on 1 of these it could be considered normal behavior.
- Guilty of 2 of these on a day could be considered strategy.
- If you are guilty of at least 3 or more on any given day then you could be considered the Office Bitch!!!
Best Place To Take A Romantic Walk in Palm Beach?
1. Lake Trail, Palm Beach.
This is an amazing walking trail, perfect for a romantic walk it has the intercostal waterway on one side which also overlooks downtown West Palm Beach and large manicured 18th century mansions on the other. The trees drape across the walking path at spots and there always seems to be a nice breeze coming off the water. There are several benches along the path that make great spots to take a romantic break.
You are about .50 mile from the beach so you could walk over and finish up your walk with a stroll down the beach.
So if you are around West Palm Beach with your significant other head over to Palm Beach for the Lake Trail walk you will not be disappointed.
