Miami Beach Immobilier de Prestige


A few months ago we went to visit the South of France. Josh's brother lives in Cannes and we have other friends/clients that live near Nice so we went to visit all of them and had a great time. We've never been in France before, we visit Cannes, The Antibes, Nice, Eze and Monaco in the south; we also went north to see Paris.

I like the South of France (or Côte d'Azur) because of the views and architecture. The train travels next to the water and you can see the different towns in the mountains and beaches near the Mediterranean.

I love photography, taking pictures was my favorite thing to do in this trip. One of the best places I've ever been in my life is called Eze. Located between Nice and Monaco, Eze its an old town with a beautiful Castle in the top of the Mountain. It takes 1 hour by bus from the train station, but once you are up there, the views are amazing, you are in paradise ! The architecture its super old and beautiful. You can find tons of art and perfume places. Everywhere smells like jasmine.

When we went to Cannes, we stayed at one of our Real Estate client's villa. It was amazing. This villa is located in the top of a mountain overlooking Cannes and the Mediterranean. There are tons of villas like this in the South of France. Money is not a problem in this part of the world. That is why Josh decided to launch a new website, MiamiBeachImmobilierdePrestige.com. The purpose of this website is to target the French market - specifically the South of France - to buy Real Estate in Miami Beach.

Josh and I specialize in South Beach Luxury Condos, Waterfront Villas and Lofts. We have seen more and more people from Europe looking to buy Real Estate in Miami Beach. Our last clients come from France, Italy, England and Sweden. We would like to approach this market through the best marketing tool ever existed, the internet.

Josh Stein has one of the best Real Estate websites in Miami Beach that ranks in the top of the search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. This is JoshSteinRealtor.com . We would like to take advantage of our online marketing experience and create websites that really help buyers find the perfect place to live in Miami Beach.

We would also love to network and work with any Real Estate agent living in France or any other country in the world that is willing to refer us any clients and vice versa.

Please visit our new website MiamiBeachImmobilierdePrestige.com and let us know what do you think !

Social Media Addiction

Today one of my best friends told me she is too addicted to Facebook and do not want to keep sharing pictures etc... so, in order to stop it she created another Facebook account and started clean hahaha, it sound a little ironic, it might work for her though, I'm a bit confused..

I've also been thinking that I'm addicted to Social Media, like Facebook or Twitter... I think I really am ! Houston we have a problem hehe...

I was talking to Mariana (one of my Miami friends), she told me this social media addiction increases due to the economic recession, people do not have a lot of money to spend in Marketing and they are hungry to advertise their businesses, the best and cheapest way to go is through internet and social media. Mariana and I have the same kind of background, Marketing. We know how important is nowadays to have an internet presence, I totally agree with her but I also think there are other reasons social media is so addictive...

A lot of people are more and more addicted to it because of: loneliness, need of attention, game applications, living in another country, lack of money to go out, willingness, sometimes we are shy and is easier to make friends through internet etc...

Also, more and more people is finding love through the net because is more easy, saves time and you can really find your match.. I know more and more people that are using this kind of media to find a partner, it seems to work pretty well.

Lets talk about twitter.com...Twitter provides tons of info that you subscribed to in order to get little sentences with interesting links. Because of the ease of access to more info that you like makes it super addictive... You don't have to go to cnn.com anymore, you can just follow it on twitter and click on any news that interest you, but at the same time you are following time.com, abc news or nbc and all of them have different interesting stories. I actually get lots of headaches from the tons of info I read everyday, from news, celebrity gossip, technology, non profit orgs. etc...

Well now you tell me if you are addicted to Social Media and how does that affect your life. Lets think about it..

Recent changes in my lifestyle....

Well, this post is basically about good changes I started making since last year. The 1st thing I did was to quit smoking, I have to be honest, I stopped smoking for a long time, but now I do smoke 1 or 2 cigarettes whenever I go out (which is usually every weekend). I kind of did a 90% change.. but I still have to quit 100%. Its weird because I do not like cigarettes, I hate the smoke, or when somebody smokes next to me, I think the big problem here is the alcohol, whenever I have a few drinks is then when I want to smoke. Its a dilemma. Ok well, the good thing is that I made a big change and I do not smoke in my daily life and I haven't buy a package of cigarettes in a looong time.

The other thing I quit last year, was eating red meat. I just didn't like it anymore, the meat here in USA tasted different for me than what I was used to eat in Mexico. Also, I thought about the animal cruelty and if I don't even like it it, would be no problem for me to stop eating it.

In the beginning of this year I read the book "Skinny Bitch". This little book just finished convincing me what I already knew about how foods are made, processed etc. The book explains with very specific details of how meat, fruits, vegetables, etc. get added all these hormones and pesticides, and of course, the animal cruelty and living conditions.

As soon as I finished reading this book, I stopped eating chicken and turkey. I didn't stop eating fish, I love fish and sea food, I cannot being a complete vegetarian for now, maybe in the future.

Another important change in my lifestyle was joining a Equinox, my gym. I didn't want to join a gym because they charge your card every month automatically and I was not used to do that. Anyways, I thought if I don't join and they make me pay I will not go, so I started going like 2-3 times a week. The good thing is that one of my best friends "Tara" joined this year so now I had the motivation to go every day, she is my trainer and makes sure I go every day, its a pain in the a... but I like that hehe. Now I go to the gym like 4-5 times a week. I do spinning and yoga some days and the other ones I do cardio and weight lifting.

I also went to GNC, got whey protein shake, folic acid, every day fiber, a muscle amplifier/calorie burner and vitamin B-12.

Ok, I already told you the "good" changes I made in my diet and lifestyle.

Now, I'm navigating the web trying to find a solution or the answer to the question: Why I'm not Miss f$%& Universe by now?? !! hahaha. I'm kidding, well not that much, what I'm trying to say is that I would love to find the answer to a good and balanced vegetarian diet that can make me loose weight faster... I think I'm just an impatient person and want to see results right away... but don't worry, I will try harder and will not give up, be prepared for the new Rosario... coming soon !

I just want to conclude saying that everybody can start making little changes in their lifestyle, all for a good purpose and we will see the results in the future...
