Who Wants A Piece Of Paradise?

Who Wants A Piece Of Paradise?

Waking up to mornings has never felt so good.  Being thankful for the life given to you always gives a whole new view to life.

Take time to enjoy your surroundings.  Wake up to the sound of the soothing waves rolling to the shore.  Feel the warm breeze flowing in through your windows. Take a moment to enjoy the sunset. Or make an effort to see the sun rise. Go on, get up and stretch out your muscles. Gaze outside your window and drink in the vast blue right before your eyes.  Mother Nature has never been this abundant. Come on outside. Bring a jug of cool drinking water, a light snack, and a bottle of sun block. Step into your flip flops and you're good to go.

With just a few steps, you have the warm sand at your feet.  Dig those toes into the sand.  Check out the colourful sun umbrellas decorating the shore. Find a good spot to lay that fine blanket of yours. You brought it just for this moment. Bet you're thinking you should have a bit more of the other stuff, like maybe a surfboard? Bah... You’ll get to that soon. Here’s a nice little spot.  Lay back and let the sun do its job. Nice day to be out, isn't it?

Give Dermot OBrien, the best real estate agent in Singer Island, a call today at (561) 317-1177 and schedule you a private viewing of an Oasis Singer Island Condo for Sale and have a chance to live this close to the beach.

What Is Your Inner Self Telling You?

What Is Your Inner Self Telling You?

Tell me how am I supposed to breathe with no air? Help me out here with the water so deep...If you ain’t here I just can’t breathe. No air, air... -Jordin Sparks

 

Stressed out? Having a short fuse lately? Feel like you are not yourself anymore? Maybe it is time to take a little quick getaway. Constant hassle and fatigue beats your body down. Before you know it, you could be riding a one-way ticket to burnout.

 

Burnout takes its toll slowly but surely. It could also destroy precious relationships with just a few harsh words. Bursting out is never an option when your brimming over with tension and anxiety. No. We can’t have that, right? How about enjoying some lush green and bond with Mother Nature? How about going to the mysterious side and explore some caves? Or you could go spelunking to channel those negative chis. Vitalize your soul through water therapy. Rejuvenate your senses through the meeting of the sea and sky.  Take a walk by the shore away from it all.  Fill your soul with the play of the land, sea and sky.

 

You can even spend the night under the glittery heavens. Or come home to the comfort of your Singer Island FL condo.

Christmas at the Beach, Anyone?

Christmas at the Beach, Anyone?

Picture yourself carrying a gift you received. A blanket on your left arm. The love of your life strolling by your side, carrying some exquisite champagne for you. Hmm... Maybe an eggnog? How about some prime rib and hot buttered rum? Throw in some oyster stew for a bit of boost. A thunderous beat blaring throughout  the shore.  

Feel the warm sun caress your skin as you stride towards your friends. The sand tickling your feet. The breeze persuading you to hurry, dance with the wind!  Friends happily giggling and laughing as you all celebrate the yuletide season by the beach.  

A grand scene, isn't it?  The sun setting, and the music lightening to a soft beat. Still inviting you to dance in a slow and steady manner with your loved one. A bonfire ignites in the middle of the crowd dancing to the jazz music. Lie back on your blanket and chill.  You start to think.. “C’est la vie.”  

Wouldn’t it be pleasant to have a place near the beach to celebrate the occasionally? Or just to kick back and relax after all the stress that accumulated during the year.  A fastidious way of relaxing and enjoying moments with loved ones and friends.  A place to get away from it all and throw caution to the wind for fun! Yuletide at the beach it is!

Take a stroll down at the Promenade Shopping Plaza and take pleasure in seeing the different decors alight the stores. Smell the fresh scent of leaves on your Christmas tree at Tree Towne, a place where you can choose your very own tree to a T. How about some Christmas ornaments to go with your tree?
