Spring it Forward 

Spring is here! The weather has been so nice, and we are officially a year away from the wedding bells in our family. This spring, we celebrate Auntie Des's 60th birthday, gearing up for baseball season and Easter, and continue with the wedding planning. We hope you are enjoying your extra hour of daylight. Since finishing nursing school and applying for jobs, I have worked part-time at the family agency. The phones do not stop ringing, but there are a few things I have noticed are important, but many new homeowners or young adults like me wouldn't think about: the importance of life insurance, asking for any possible discounts, and making sure to keep reminders in your calendar for upcoming payments! 

Enjoy the read, kindly,

Amanda Kiki Domingo

What Life Insurance is Best for Myself & My Family? 

Life insurance comes in two main categories: Term Life and Permanent Life (including Whole Life and Universal Life). Each serves different financial needs and life stages.

Term Life Insurance

• Covers a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years).

• More affordable, especially for young professionals and business owners with temporary financial needs.

• No cash value—only pays a death benefit if the insured dies within the term.

• Premiums increase after the initial term and can become costly over time.

• Best for covering temporary financial obligations like mortgages, student loans, or business loans.

Permanent Life Insurance

• Provides lifelong coverage as long as premiums are paid.

• Builds cash value, which can be accessed for financial needs.

• Can be structured for estate planning, business succession, or wealth transfer.

• Types include:

  • Whole Life: Fixed premiums, guaranteed death benefit, and steady cash value growth.

  • Universal Life: More flexible with premium payments and death benefit options.

    • Traditional Universal Life: Growth tied to the insurance company’s investments.

    • Indexed Universal Life: Cash value linked to stock market index performance.

Who Should Consider Each Type?

• Young Professionals: Term life is more affordable, but permanent life offers cash value benefits.

• Business Owners: Term life can cover short-term risks; permanent life supports long-term planning.

• Pre-Retirees: Permanent life policies can provide living benefits, such as early access to funds.

• Retirees: Can use permanent life insurance for estate planning or as a financial legacy for heirs.

Choosing the right policy depends on financial goals, budget, and long-term needs. Click the link below to get a free quote today and to talk to an agent about all your questions!

This month's workout is intervals - outside or on the tread whatever feels best for you. This is what I love to add the end of a workout or after an incline walk. All you need is 10 minutes and some grit. 

Sprint Intervals: Set your timer for 10 minutes. 

30 seconds ON, 30 seconds OFF/Walk. 

Repeat intervals 10x through. Only 10 minutes long, means no excuse not to get it in!

 Celebrating 31 Years & Life Updates! 

Happy anniversary to our parents and agency owners, Jen & Glenn. They have been married for 31 years this February. They enjoyed a staycation at the new Alila Marea Hotel in Encinitas.  A very swanky and adult only venue, they enjoyed the outdoor restaurant and bar while relaxing with some well deserved alone time. Wishing them another 31 + years of laughter, love, and hopefully some grandkids in their future.

Graduated Nursing School & Passed the NCLEX 

Another Degree for KIKI

Well, she did it, Amanda Natalie Ann Domingo graduated from Nursing School.  She has passed that State Board Exams and has applications in to several hospitals.  She is a goal setting and driven young adult.  She has her Masters in Exercise Science as well.  Lets all congratulate Amanda Kiki Domingo for a job well done.  Maybe she holds the key to the future of Domingo and Associates, only our Lord know now.  

Workout of the Month 

One of my favorite ways to get a workout in while in a pinch for time. This workout only takes 20 minutes to complete. 4 minutes each round. 5 total rounds on the clock. You have 4 minutes to complete 3 exercises. Whatever time is remaining after the 3 exercises in the 4 minutes is your rest before the next round. 

Every 4 Minutes on the Minute (E4MOM) 

- 12 burpees 

- 12 clean to press 

- 12 reverse grip DB rows 

Make your weight selection heavy enough that you need to break up your reps. You should be able to complete about 6-8 reps then need to drop the dumbbells before completing the rest of the set. 

Let us know how it goes! Repeat the workout 2-3 weeks later and see if you can increase your weight selection for a bonus challenge. 

Recipe of the Month 

Since school has finally finished and I passed my NCLEX, I have been back in the kitchen trying out some new healthy recipes. This month's recipe is protein pancakes. This recipe is so easy to make and so quick to make. It packs over 50 g of protein for under 400 calories per serving. Perfect to keep you full and fueled throughout your day! 

Ingredients: 

- 1/2 c cottage cheese 

- 1/3 c GF oats (can use regular oats) 

- 1 scoop vanilla protein 

- 1/2 c egg whites 

Instructions: 

- Place all ingredients together in a blender 

- Blend until thick, batter consistency 

- Spray and heat pan on medium heat 

- Pour batter and flip! 

* Add toppings of your choice. My favorites are bananas, blueberries, and SF maple syrup!

Happy New Year 2025 

Happy New Year! We hope you are having a great start to 2025. It has been a busy start in the Domingo household! We are beginning our wedding planning process, celebrating the marriage of my parents for 31 years, and enjoying the Farmers Open with some of their clients and friends. We hope the start to the new year has brought you peace and joy, and we look forward to seeing what 2025 has in store for everyone. Thank you for continuing to support and trust our family-owned business, we would not be here without your support and encouragement. 

With the devastating wildfires in Southern California, the Domingo Family Agency and the Farmers Insurance Group remain extremely busy restoring clients, family and friends lives back to order.  The Insurance Company our family represents is domiciled in Woodland Hills, CA and we will not pull out of this market.  Many underwriting changes and increased rates assisted in positioning the companies and agencies ability to pay out the much needed funding to restore our clients back to where they belong, no more and no less.  We continue to pray for our fellow Southern Californian's as we navigate the rebuilding process of Pacific Palisades and surrounding effected cities.  Thank you Farmers for keeping your promise to indemnify the clients who are effected by this tragic event.  

Recipe of the Month 

Have you pulled out your crockpot this winter? We have recently got into crockpot recipes simply for the convenience of having something cook on its own while you work the whole day. One of our current favorites is an easy, pulled chicken verde. We love to pair it with rice and veggies and make an easy bowl. Leftovers are the perfect meal prep for the rest of the week. Prep and clean up is super easy and you cannot beat the price, especially when on a wedding budget!   Salsa Verde Chicken

The Number One Fat Loss Tool to Include in 2025

WALKING. Get more steps in 2025. One of the most underrated ways to improve your cardiovascular health and help you lose fat is to walk more. It does not cost a thing and can be done anywhere so there is never an excuse. Most of the time people are so concerned with the 30 - 45 minute workout they are doing, but I always ask, what else are you doing throughout the day? Many people are seated most of the day, whether it is at a desk for their job, in the car on their commute, or binge-watching their favorite TV show after a long day at work. Aiming to get at least 8-10k steps a day can improve your cardiovascular health, increase your mood, help you burn fat, and strengthen muscles and balance. I challenge you to take more steps in 2025! I have linked a walking pad that is a great way to get your steps in while working or while still enjoying your weekend binge-watch on Netflix.

Happy Anniversary 

February 5th marks 31 years of marriage for the agency owners, my parents, Jenifer and Glenn Domingo. Happy Anniversary to you both. I have seen how hard running a business can be, especially with someone you are spending all of your time with. We admire how much you both put your faith and God first and know there is not one day that you do not work on your marriage and relationship with each other. Cheers to at least 31 more years! 

The Farmers Open 

Each year we have the opportunity to attend the Farmers Insurance Open in Southern California. The tradition continues and might be one of the last opportunities to enjoy a professional golf tournament sponsored by the Farmers Insurance Group.  We typically rent a 15 passenger van, dad invited 12 this year.  Clients, referral partners and influencers attended.  They get dropped off right in front of the Lodge, have a tasty morning beverage and then walk to enter the tournament.  This year they walked the course and then gathered at the VIP 18th green tent Farmers Hosted with an all inclusive lunch and cocktail station.  An easy walk pass the Hilton and the conclusion of the event with the Van waiting across the street.  The dirty dozen plus one usually end up in downtown Carlsbad for and early dinner.  It is a tradition annually and it blends together my dad's favorite things: friends, golf, and insurance. Here is a sneak peak into this years outing! FORE!

Restaurant Review: Sound by the Sea 

Located on the 101 in Oceanside, CA, Sound by the Sea is a fun indoor/outdoor bar with various live DJs every night of the week. The theme reminds me of Palm Springs in the 60s. They have tapas and drinks. They are not considered a full bar, so most cocktails are made with Soju. They have non-alcoholic options available as well. Stop by and bring your own bottle of wine for a 15$ corkage fee or enjoy one of their signature cocktails! This is a fun date night place or a place to go out with friends. Not a kid friendly bar! 

New Year's and Resolutions 

Ever make New Year's resolutions and feel like you have failed by day 3? You are not alone! There was a study done at UC Davis to help people stick to their New Year's goals. Here are the top 7 tips they came up with to keep you on track all year long. 

1. Be picky about your resolutions

We may want to lose weight, eat more vegetables, volunteer more, quit smoking and spend more time with family. But experts say that’s too many goals to set for a New Year’s resolution. Pick one, maybe two things you’d like to focus on and go all in. This sets you up to achieve specific goals instead of feeling like a failure for hitting none of them.

2. Plan your resolution

It’s best to plan for your goal. Think through how you want to accomplish your resolution and how long it might take to reach your goal. For example, if your resolution is to quit smoking, research how long it takes an average person to kick the habit and the possible setbacks to expect. Proper planning will help ensure you can see it through to the end.

3. Set very specific goals

Many of us will set a New Year’s resolution like “exercise more.” But what does that really mean? Instead, you should be detailed in your resolution. It could be “exercise 30 minutes daily.” This gives you a measurable goal to reach each day that you can check off your list. It will help you feel more accomplished.

4. Don’t take on too much

Start small. Avoid setting an overly high expectation of yourself. If you’d like to lose weight, pick a small but realistic weight loss goal. Maybe that’s 10 pounds in two months. Once you reach that goal, you can think about losing another 5-8 pounds. Setting small goals can help you achieve big results.

5. Choose a new resolution

Avoid picking a goal that you’ve tried in the past but failed. You may set yourself up to fall into the same pitfalls that stopped you previously. Instead, pick something different where you can set up a better path to success. Or maybe you can modify a previous goal if that’s something you still want to accomplish.

6. Identify accountability partners for support

Lean on people – whether it’s a friend to keep your exercise resolution on track, or a spouse to help with healthier eating habits. We function better with community around us, motivating and reminding us why we chose that New Year’s resolution in the first place.

7. Give your resolution time to become a habit

New routines don’t just become habit overnight. A 2009 study found that on average, it takes 66 days to form a new habit. Be patient with yourself. If you have minor setbacks or don’t hit your goal one week, pick it back up the next week. Keep working at your goal; eventually, it can become second nature.

Our Holiday Season... 

November 2024

Friendsgiving and a Fast Year

The year is coming to an end and it has flown by. We have been extremely busy and as we prepare for the holidays we know it will only get busier. The Holidays will never be the same without Mama Bev. We hope you take some time to reflect on your year and get to spend quality time with your loved ones, family and friends. Life is too short not to enjoy these special moments. We cannot express our gratitude enough for clients who have become friends and friends who have become family. Wishing you all a very blessed and grateful Thanksgiving this year! We plan on spending Thanksgiving with our family and some of our oldest friends to celebrate Friendsgiving! What does your family holiday look like?  This will be our 7th annual Friendsgiving Celebration.  We reserve about 5 foursomes that morning and then gather with our families for dinner and fun.  The coolest memories I have about this event is watching our kids grow and start to hang out and party with each other.  

Movember! 

One of my favorite challenges of the year! The 100-mile challenge in November. Whether you walk, jog, or run, the goal is to collect as many miles as you can to prepare yourself for the big New Year goals coming up and remind you that moving is important, especially around the holidays. Walking, jogging, or running does not take much equipment and can be done anywhere so it is the perfect challenge for those heading away for the holiday season or cutting back on spending at a gym membership since it is a completely free way to move your body!

Workout of the Month 

AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) -

No weights are necessary and can be done from anywhere! How many rounds can you get?!

Pho Oceanside has a ton of options on the menu, quick service, and a great price for the quality and quantity of pho you get. I love the veggie option and can make it last at least 2-3 meals! They have delicious starters, my favorite is the fresh spring roll with peanut sauce. They have great service and will frequently have regulars they treat like family.  My dad always jokes and says, "What the Pho" pronounced FA.

In Honor of Mama Beverly 

We all have our own ways we handle grief.  On October 22, 2024, our family lost the remaining matriarch in our Family.  Beverly Fruechting entered the gates of heaven and I know our Lord welcomed her with open arms.  Arms that hugged her big personality, a Father that told her, "Well Done Good and Faithful Servant", a home that would never abandoned her, and a place where worldly possessions do not matter.  My mother in law was the first and only one on Jenifer's  side of the family that I felt I had to win over.  She called a spade a spade and told you how she felt.  My first lesson from Mama was setting boundaries.  I surely followed her lessons to a tee.  She filled her life serving kids first and foremost as a life long educator.  She devoted herself to her true and one love, Pop Pop Randy and adored and served her two daughters, Natalie and Jenifer.  This passing hurts a bit more because it was sudden and unexpected.  I will miss her because she always had a surprise for someone.  I will miss her because she was always thinking of how she could help in her own quirky way, I will miss her because of the lessons she taught me about being genuine, I will miss her because she made situations uncomfortable at times, but she was truthful.  I will miss her because she is my better half's mom and I don't want Jenifer to hurt.  Everyone that met Beverly knew she had a big personality and had a love for attention, but she was truthful.  She endured so much in her life and has raised two daughters that adore their children.  In the end, her last minutes on earth was an act of kindness and that is what mattered most to me.  She was genuinely kind and that's what matters.  Until we meet again Bev.  Together in heaven we will have all understanding of the past.  Peace and Love always Mama Beverly.

57 Years and Still Seeking Wisdom

This summer has been full of surprises and adventure. We are happy to announce that Lexie has officially moved home from New York!

Summer flew by and we only have 4 months until the new year, we hope you and your family enjoyed your summer and are preparing to finish the year strong. 

Happy Birthday, Dad!

We celebrated our Dad, the agency owner’s birthday this month! Everyone wish him a happy belated birthday!  We have also been working on an agency acquisition for the past 90 days.  Dad attended career school with our dear friend, Dean Pocoroba.  They were both restaurant managers, they both have families and they both owned agencies.  Dean passed several years ago and his dear wife, Claudia, took over the business.  Because of the ever changing insurance environment in California, owning an agency is difficult.  A mutually beneficial agreement was made and we are happy to announce that our purchase of the Claudia Pocoroba Insurance Agency will be final October 1st, 2024.  This will be the 4th agency dad has acquired with his career at Farmers Insurance. We will continue to grow, retain and be the best insurance and financial services agency we can be.  Thank you to all that assisted with the transaction.  Our Market Leader, Shawn Kitts, our District Manager, Scott Rittichier, our Agency Business Consultant, Arianna Castellanos, and most importantly, Claudia, for trusting our agency to take care of her family and clients for many years to come.    

 

Having peace and closure with purchase of the Pocoroba Agency was the greatest birthday present I could of asked for.  Another close second was my hole in one at El Camino Country Club, hole 7.  Any of you have an ace ??
