Community School Supply Drive

The Community Back to School Supply Drive is kicking off! There are many children in our community that need a little help to get their school year started of right. Studies show that children who attend school with the proper supplies are more engaged and do better in school! 

How can you help? Donate supplies. The list is at the bottom of this post. You can donate at Beef O'Brady's in NSB, Denny's Restaurant, Babe James Center and  Vision Fitness on SR 44 next to Firehouse Subs. There will be more donation points and I will update when I get those.

Are you a business that would like to help. 35 backpacks with your logo can be donated for $135.00. Call Tim Hankerson for details on this program. The deadline is August 15th. Tim can be reached at 386-405-8539.

The kickoff for this program is this Saturday, August 1st. Head out to the New Smyrna Beach WalMart and grab some barbecue. Ribs, Pulled Pork, Chicken, and Pulled Chicken will all be available for purchase and all proceeds go to the school supply drive. This is some good stuff. Delicious!

If you have any questions or need more information give Tim a call at 386-405-8539. You all know Tim he is the owner of T's Mobile Services and is all over town detailing cars, trucks and other things. He does a fantastic job every year with this project and there are so many children that benefit! Let's help him out!

Mason Bar

I visited the Mason Bar today! Now what is the Mason Bar you ask, let me tell you. It is fresh, cold pressed juice and gourmet Popsicles. Seriously I watched them make the popsicles right there...they cut the fruit, the herbs...all of it. While I watched...it gets no fresher than that. I tried the Peach-Jalapeno. I thought OK,  that is weird. No, it was fantastic! They had all kinds of flavors from watermelon-kiwi to blackberry basil....so many fantastic flavors. 

 

The juice. Fantastic. Fresh. The owner Shaney and her children (who were making the popsicles) use organic ingredients whenever possible, They are growing their own herbs in the store in the hydroponics area...it is truly all about healthy and delicious. 

 The decor is so sweet, the location was a spa before with tons of cedar, they took the wood and re-purposed it and painted it and made it into the tables and benches. Here they are...so nice!

Great place, nice people, truly a family owned, local business. Visit them at 488 N. Causeway...right at the bottom of the bridge next to Buena Vista Park. It is absolutely worth checking out!

Their Facebook Page is here and their website is under construction!

C's Waffles-Online Ordering

I just tried the new online ordering that C's Waffles offers. My daughter and I were getting our nails done at Happy Nails and thought breakfast sounded good. So I hopped on my iPad and we ordered from their beach side location. Finished getting my nails done and walked in grabbed the food and was home eating a hot, delicious breakfast in no time. Worked perfectly!

C's has two NSB locations one beach side near Dollar General and one on SR 44, both offer online ordering, you can do it from their Facebook page or their website. Pay by debit or credit card. They are also offering 20% off your first online order. Check it out!

Cool Beans & More

I love checking out new places around town. My sweet friend Elaine from the Om Bar, told me about Cool Beans and More which is just off Flagler Ave on Jessamine behind Nejma's. They just opened on July 11th.

The have real Italian Ice and Coffee. Their coffee is organic and comes from Island Roasters, They have a delicious cold brew as well as the standard hot coffee choices. The coffee prices are the same as if you were to go to Island Roasters and get it yourself! They also sell water for only .75 a bottle, who does that? No one that I know of.

 Now on to the Italian Ice. It is delicious...yes, I sampled about six different kinds, chocolate being my favorite. The orange cream swirl a close second (think creamsicle). They have a bunch of different flavors to choose from.

Cool Beans is a little off the Flagler path you can either walk around behind Nejma's or come in the back through the gate from Jessamine. There is a really nice little courtyard with seating and a fountain to take a break from shopping.

They are open from 10:00 am - 8:00 pm except on Sunday when they close at 6:00 pm.

For sure worth stopping in for a treat!
