Most Effective Summer Workout Comes To Carlsbad
Carlsbad, CA – The hottest, most effective new workout comes to Carlsbad Village Faire…Xtend Barre is a 55 minute fast paced workout that is designed to sculpt the body proportionately, to strengthen and lengthen to a long and lean dancer’s physique – just what we all want going into summer.
Xtend Barre Carlsbad is located in Carlsbad Village Faire, upstairs across from Vinaka Cafe. Your first class is always free to try it and see what everyone’s talking about. For first time clients, there are two current specials running… one month unlimited for $125 or three months unlimited (to REALLY get that bikini body) for $400.
Come take a class. See what everyone’s talking about. It’s hard, fun, and WORKS! I truly believe that if every girl in Carlsbad knew something could work like this, every girl in Carlsbad would be doing it!

One of My Favorite Times of Year – San Diego Restaurant Week – NOW!
Yesterday – Sunday, January 17th, San Diego Restaurant Week returned to fabulous restaurants around San Diego County. The event will run from Sunday, January 17th through Friday, January 22nd.
Whether you are looking to dine in Coronado at Peohe’s, 1500 Ocean at the Hotel Del, or Coronado Boathouse 1887, George’s at the Cove or the Marine Room in La Jolla, or maybe Jake’s or Pacifica in Del Mar, the Chart House in Solana Beach, or Blue Fire Grill in La Costa, there are options for everyone!
Now, in its fifth year, San Diego Restaurant Week is an absolute hit. This was started in 2004 to bring patrons to restaurants for a week after the summer boom, when kids are back in school, and business is typically down. Popular, exclusive restaurants started offering three course prix fixe menus consisting of an appetizer, a main course, and dessert for either $20, $30, or $40.
If you look at many of the restaurants’ menus, you will find that many of them are offering the entire three course meal for less than just the main course on a typical night. For those of you who know me and Mike, you know, we love to do nice things on a budget. I guess it is that financial advisor in me! So, we look forward to San Diego Restaurant Week each year. We always use it as an opportunity to visit some old favorites – or take a new culinary adventure!
This year, due to the lagging economy, the restaurants added a second San Diego Restaurant Week. According the San Diego Restaurant Week published reports, the January 2009 week was the most successful ever – with over 180 participating restaurants and a 22% increase in diners over the 2008 event!
At the San Diego Restaurant Week’s website, you will find a comprehensive list of participating restaurants that can be sorted by price, type of cuisine, or location. Have fun and happy dining!
If you have anything you would like to see covered in our blog, please let us know. We are always here to answer questions and meet your San Diego real estate needs.

Carlsbad Real Estate For Sale – Is a Rent To Own Right For You?
Carlsbad, CA – With Carlsbad real estate buyers scarce and Carlsbad mortgages tight, some home sellers are offering rent-to-own options to potential buyers in place of your traditional transaction.
Rent-to-own contracts, usually require buyers to pay a premium on each month’s rent and sometimes an up front fee/deposit of about 5% of the purchase price. The regular rent then goes in owner’s pocket (presumably to pay the mortgage), but the additional payments are used to buy down the price of the home. Read the rest of this entry »
