Beach City Real Estate

Today I took a fun bike ride through Los Angeles' Beach Cities: Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice and Marina Del Rey.  It was a great day and hundreds of locals were out enjoying their day as well.  Right now the market in Los Angeles is on fire! If you are thinking about Buying or Selling a home to be closer to the beach lifestyle, now is the time to do it!  Summer is a great time to transition.  If you are even considering living near the beach, whether it be your permanent residence or a vacation home or condo, I would encourage you to take a peak at the housing inventory. You might just find your perfect home  - close to the beach, great shopping, world famous restaurants and fantastic entertainment!

Cheers!

Domestic Divas, Schedule Your Dirty Work!

If you are a "Domestic Diva" and need to put your home on a cleaning schedule this one just might be of great help! I know it was for me. I came across the below list on Pinterest via the blog “Organizing Made Fun” and had to share it. Personally, I will never find organizing fun but necessary! No matter if you are the one who accomplishes your own "Cinderella Chores", as one of my friends refers to cleaning her house, or if you are one of the lucky people who hires someone to do the dirty work for you this schedule can be followed exactly as you see it or you can adjust it to fit your life ... it's all about making it convenient for your lifestyle and needs!

Monday:

Vacuum house thoroughly - vacuum each room, occasionally do vents and curtains and window crevices. (Total time: 25 – 30 minutes depending on house size).

Tuesday:

Dust house (Total time: 15 minutes depending on knick knack amount.) Occasionally wipe down nice furniture with polish.

Note: this is one reason I do not own lots of knick knacks!!!

Wednesday:

Clean back bathroom including toilet, counters, mirror, tub shower and clean floors. (Total time: 15-20 minutes).

Thursday:
Clean front bathroom including toilet, counters, mirror, tub shower and clean floors. (Total time: 15-20 minutes).


Friday:
Clean kitchen – mop floor and clean counter tops with bleach product. (Total time: 15 – 20 minutes)


Weekends:
Other small projects or NOTHING!!!!
