Hair Stylist - master colorist w brown hair

I’m a south Florida transplant who has hopped around in search of a great stylist. I had my grays covered by a few different people and the roots were varying shades of brown. To break up the brown, highlights were recommended and let’s just say it didn’t turn out well. Any recs for an experienced master colorist who also gives a great haircut? Thanks!

Hotels that allow 18-20 check in

As the title mentions I am looking for hotels (preferably close to FAU) that allow check in under 21 years old (since at many hotels it's 21, but I'm only 20).

Jewish Preschool Options

I’m new to Boca and have a 1 year old boy. We’re starting to think about preschools and considering B’nai Torah, B’nai Israel, Beth El and JCC. Irrespective of location and price, what are the pros and cons of each? What are things I should know and ask?

Men’s Modified Fast Pitch Softball Leagues?

Anyone know of a good modified fast pitch softball league in the area? It’s slightly different than slow pitch as the pitcher can throw it hard as long as they don’t wind up windmill style.

If no one knows of a league like that - any recommendations for a good softball league? Looking for something social of course as well. Thanks!

I don’t think I’m going insane, but this is the second day driving on Hillsboro…right by the train tracks, where there’s a distinct smell of rubbing alcohol. Anyone else experience this? Anyone know why?

I’ve seen a black Puma private jet parked at the Boca airport over the last week or so. A quick google suggests it’s Jay Z’s plane, tail N444SC. Wonder if he’s hanging out in Boca

Foster Pet Animals (Cats/Kittens)

Hello Everyone!! I am looking for suggestions where I can foster cat/kitten for few weeks - months. Recently got diagnosed with anxiety disorder and my doctor suggested me an emotional support animal (moved to Boca a year ago so very lonely). I am very responsible and financially good and can adopt a pet cat but I am a bit hesitant because I don’t want to make a decision in haste and then things becoming overwhelming for me because if I adopt a cat then it’s gonna be my baby for the rest of my life. I am open to exploring fostering for few weeks to months and see if I can take care and maybe adopt the same cat along the way :))

I know this is a long post so sorry for that. Would be grateful for any suggestions!

TIA

Do yourself a favor and make an appointment when early voting

Palm Beach County offers this option and it literally saves so much time. You go on the county election website, select a date and time, choose your voting location, confirm the appointment, and that’s it. Just show up at the designated time and bypass the regular line.

Just did this at the Spanish River Library yesterday and saved probably a good half hour to 45 minutes of waiting. Thank yourself later, and go vote!

Ever sold your car through consignment?

I sold my car once through a dealership, they sold it for me and took a small fee.

Any sort of place here? Contemplating selling my Porsche this way as I don’t have time to list and meet buyers.

Plus dealership offering financing does bring more buyers.

Thanks

I recently lost something quite dear to me in the intercostal. Is there anybody would be willing to help me out by diving in the water with me?
