Looking for something
fun to do at home?
Join The Wild Thang Boutique for
VIRTUAL WOOD AND WINE
Friday, APRIL 24, 2020
at 6:30pm
Inside
The Wild Thang Boutique
is another business where WE PAINT-WE SIP-WE LAUGH AND WE HAVE FUN;
Create Your Own Palette
. During this time we cannot come and sit at the tables and paint together, so to adapt to the times, I want to do a
VIRTUAL
WOOD AND WINE:
SO, Grab your wine, tell your friends and enjoy this time at your home!
This class will be offered on zoom.
So when you sign up to do the VIRTUAL WOOD AND WINE, I will need your email address and phone number so I can invite you to the online event and let you know when your supplies are ready for pick up.
Kit Pick-ups: I will put together your kit and it will be available for pick-up the day before and the morning of the event at 201 Miami Ave W. They will be placed in a bag with your name on it and placed outside the boutique so you will not have to have any contact with anyone.
Contents: Stenciled wood cut-out (approx size is 15"x23"), paint brushes, paint of the colors pictured ($1.00 more for requested colors).
**after the class please return clean paint brushes to boutique--kindly wash and place in a baggie and hang on door of boutique so we can use them again for other classes!
I look forward to this event and meeting each and everyone of you.
--Farrah Cuellar, Owner of The Wild Thang Boutique

Join in a
CLAP / CHEER / TOAST
for healthcare workers,
first responders and
essential workers
#Suncoast Claps #VENclaps
|
|
Now, more than ever, it is important to show our appreciation and celebrate the collective good of our neighbors – especially first responders – the police, firefighters, nurses, doctors, and essential workers within the community.
To show our collective support, we invite everyone to
join in a community “clap/cheer/toast” from your balcony, window, driveway or dock at 6:30pm each day.
Come out, say hello from safe distances, and let’s join together in a community cheer. Raise a glass, clap your hands, give a big cheer – in support of our community and the people that make it an amazing place to live.
Be sure to take some video and photos and then share on social media so our essential workers know we are cheering for them.
Use the hashtags: #SuncoastClaps and #VENclaps

Hey there — it is times like this where we all need to be creative and innovative. Most of us have a closet full of exercise equipment that we bought with good intention of getting started. Let’s pull that stuff out of the closet and get you using it.
I am offering virtual training sessions to teach you how to use that stuff you have at home to put together a great workout for yourself. It's also a great time, since the restaurant choices are limited to take out to learn which foods best serve you and how simple it really is to shop and cook for the purpose of adding health into your life.
Reach out if you have been wanting to get started, and haven’t done so - now is the time. Let’s find some joy in this journey we are on and get ourselves in the best shape possible.
