| Birthday dinner for Mama Fili |
Visit from the East Coast
Last month, Lex and Addison met our parents in Nashville. This month, they came home for a quick visit to California. Eating all their favorite foods, enjoying some sunshine (without humidity), and celebrating Mama Fili's birthday on the 4th of July. It's always nice to have everyone under one house once again. Trips are becoming few and far between so we make sure to get in lots of family time. We look forward to Lex's visit next month! 
Restaurant Review - Best Pizza & Brew
 |
| Indoor & outdoor dining |
Casual setting, great service, and delicious food. A great place to grab some yummy food and a locally brewed cold beer after a long summer day at the beach. Located on the 101 in Oceanside just passed Vista Way! They have awesome pizza (duh!), wings, and salads! A perfect dinner date for 2 splitting a salad and small pizza. They always offer a free slice with a purchase of a hat or t-shirt for only $8! What a deal! I highly recommend 'The Best House Salad' and pepperoni pizza with pineapple and jalapeño. They have pint nights weekly, serving the best beers San Diego has to offer along with some of the most classics. Give them some local support and keep an eye out for new locations coming soon.
Summer in Full Swing
This summer heat is no joke. Yes, we are spoiled living in southern California and are fortunate we get to enjoy some fun in the sun. Most days, we are so busy we forget the importance of hydration and how much of an impact hydration has on our bodies. Most of the time when we hydrate, we don't sit and think about all the benefits our bodies are feeling. Hydration regulates our body temperature, prevents infections, lubricates our joints, delivers nutrients to cells, and keeps our organs functioning properly just to name a few. It also benefits our moods, our ability to concentrate, our skin, and can help aid in weight loss. Of course, we want to hydrate with water, but I understand sometimes that can get boring & tasteless. Some of my favorite alternatives to sprinkle in include: adding muddled fruits and/or lemon, Gatorade Zero, Liquid IV, and the classic plain ice water.
Easy ways to make sure you are always hydrating are to carry a water bottle with you, add a environmentally friendly straw to make sipping easy, try to add a cup of water between alcoholic beverages, create the habit of taking a glass to bed with you.
Make sure you are bringing water to hydrate on the go, at the beach, to your workouts, and at your job.
Your body will thank you!
Recipe of the Month - PrOats
A breakfast/brunch I can't get enough of right now - PrOats, also known as protein-oats. Super filling, healthy, and delicious. There are a variety of ways to make this yummy high protein breakie. The base pretty much stays the same, toppings and flavors are up to you! Fourth of July inspired this is the protein oats recipe kick I've been on this month.
Ingredients:
-1/2 C quick oats
-1 scoop vanilla protein (or flavor of your choice)
-1 C water
-1 dash almond milk (milk of your choice)
-1 TBSP cinnamon
-1 TBSP almond/peanut butter
-Fresh fruit, nuts, granola, toppings of your choice!
How to Make:
Mix and microwave 1/2 C of oats and 1 C of water for 1 minute. Pour in protein, cinnamon and dash of milk. Mix while hot until consistency of your liking, (I typically like mine a little thicker with minimal milk, add more for a thinner consistency). Cut up fruit of your choice and dollop with my personal favorite, almond butter and a drizzle of honey!

A Note From the Agency Owner
Clients, friends and family, as many of you already know, the rate adjustments for the 2019 and 2020 wildfires are upon us. The never ending management of brush in California has lead to many insurance companies to pull out of California. Not FARMERS.
This is our home state and we have purchased technology to assist the homes that are in high wild fire zip codes. These homes might be in the middle of a track or have been tagged as a high risk without any exposed brush within 500 yards. Zesty technology has already saved our clients thousands of dollars in premium because the re evaluation using drone technology is allowing the household to carry one product and not a California Fair Plan policy in addition to a wrap around policy. Did you also know that our agency is licensed and appointed with other carriers to assist in hard to place homes that are in wild fire zones.
The topic of home insurance will be in the forefront of news and conversation in California for many years to come. Why not utilize an insurance agency that has options and available coverage at an affordable premium. Call our agency for a free assessment of your home, auto and umbrella insurance needs. Domingo and Associates, Your Agency for Life.
Wishing everyone a safe, fun and productive summer.
Kindly and gratefully yours,
Glenn & Amanda Domingo
