All About Naples Florida

              Fall in Florida....                                           

      How's the weather you might ask?  Well there comes a day here in Naples Florida when you turn the thermostat to off and joyfully open the windows.  I am happy to report that day has arrived.  As I lay in bed this morning nestled under my sheet and light blanket I thought how lucky I am to be living here ... I took a deep breath of the cool morning area and thought yes Fall has arrived.  

   The temperature here this morning was 62 degrees.  Just delightful.  I threw on a light jacket as I fed the horses  ( yes I was wearing a jacket).  I listened to the hawks scream as they hunted on the canal and the rustling of the palms and thought yes this is where I want to be.  We are expecting a high dry 80 degrees today.  No humidity ...

  Oh but wait what about the tropical storm that was all over the news???  Gloom and doom right ? NOT so.... We had some tropical breezes, a few bands of light rain and that was it...  Over the weekend however I received a call from my dad.  His message jokingly asked why I wasn't more concerned about how he and my mother were  doing and what a horrendous storm they were having... he used the H word... Yes Hurricane. 

  Confused I quickly called him back.  He and my mother were miserably sitting in the dark fighting with the smoke detectors that kept going off with  each power outage.  I apologized and said I had not heard any more about the storm... How were things ... miserable they reported.  Rainy, high winds, boats pulled out, trees down, and guess what they live in Barnstable, MASSACHUSETTS ( Cape Cod).  NOT HERE!  

  So the weather is great , we have electricity, no high wind reports, windows are open and prices are terrific.  The weather report for Boston was 50 degrees with a high of 59 today and tomorrow 48 with a new storm coming in... Isn't it time to get on down here to Naples?   Hurry up before your next N'oreaster....We're waiting...

   How does it always end? Wishing you were here....

Many of us today are tired with the " standard" way of treating health problems and are seeking althernatives.  Some of us just want to feel better and improve our health. Now physicians are starting to catch on,  Dr. Mehmet Oz ( noted author, physician and frequent Oprah Special Guest)  commented on a recent Oprah show about how with diet and exercise most often the body can heal itself from such things as high blood pressure, diabetes, and bad cholest.

In this industry with our sometimes long hours, high stress, and tendency to scarf down coffee and a muffin, or worse  why not think about taking better care of yourself? Your customers will appreciate your happy glow and increased energy and more importantly you'll feel better and your body will thank you.  We must not forget to take care of ourselves as well as we often take such fine care of our customers. 

Perhaps some of you are  looking to learn more about alternative healthy living or supplements?  Great news Natural Healing is in... eating organic, learning about the benefits of gluten free products, educating yourself about the dangers of genetically engineered products, and how healthy supplements, exercise, meditation and more can change your life are all available right here in the Naples Area! 

Of course it's the perfect place, what with Naples tropical backdrop. there is no better environment than ours to enjoy the outdoors and feel your best!

One such group of stores I personally frequent and can recommend is For Goodness Sake.  They have stores in Naples and my favorite is located in Bonita.  They have a fabulous selection of organic lunch meat, cheese, supplements, beauty products, sunscreen , a delicious deli, wheat grass shots, and some wonderful crystals.  There is always something to see... oh and the produce is organic and fairly priced.

The Bonita store has speakers and coupons on Tuesdays and a great mailing list and website.  There are some larger chain stores in Naples, & more  coming like the opening of Whole Foods, and there is a Wild Oats. It is an exciting time to get healthy in Naples!

In Naples there is  a For Goodness store on Vanderbilt Beach Rd . in the Naples Walk Plaza by Publix .... another on Radio Rd Berkshire Commons, and of course the Bonita Store on Bonita Beach Rd. in the Sunshine Plaza next to Gold's Gym and Ace.  ( hmmm a gym next door how convenient... exercise and healthy eating)

Another spot I like to visit in Naples is on Neapolitan Wy Sun Splash Market ... if your looking for a great health drink that will fill you up and make you feel good try the Green Splash.  They have a website as well...Sun Splash Market   Of course these are just my personal recommendations.  I encourage you to shop around, look around and get healthy while in Naples! There are more stores than I have mentioned so try them all.  It is so important to support our local vendors and remember sometimes small stores offer an entirely different experience....
