Goal Setting, Life Insurance, Time Change
Fall Back
Don't forget to set your clocks back! Officially reached the fall season and cannot believe how fast it has gone. Just like any season, the fall is a great time to hit the reset button. Maybe you've had a crazy busy summer, you're just now getting back into working full time from an office instead of from home, or you are jumping back into the school routine. With back to school supplies coming out, it is a great opportunity to grab a planner and get organized. Use this new season as a way to set yourself up for success before the holiday time. Here are a few tips and tricks my sister and I use as our reset!
- Grab a planner and write in all this months work schedule, meetings, big set dates.
- Include an appointment to do some type of movement 3 times per week.
- Pick gym/work clothes out the night prior and have them laying out to save time in the morning.
- Set up the coffee pot so all you have to do is turn it on.
- Wake up 10 minutes earlier. Use this time so you don't just rush out of bed. Could be time to pray, meditate, clean out old junk emails, etc.
- Keep a running list on your phone of this you run out of or need from the grocery store so you don't find yourself going multiple times a week.
- Schedule in some time for fun. We need to relax and take time to unwind as well. Aim for 2x a month to do something you enjoy. Date nights, facials, massage, take a yoga class, etc.
We hope this helps a bit. Happy fall, y'all!

Pumpkin Spice Seasonal Favorites
Tis the season for all things pumpkin spice. Of course, there is the fan favorite pumpkin spice latte that everyone can't wait to have when the fall season hits. But, for all you non-latte lovers, here are a couple tasty, nutrient dense, and healthier pumpkin themed favorites for you to try.
Pumpkin Spice Protein Bites
Simple, easy, and no bake time recipe all ages are going to love. A great snack pre or post workout, healthy dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth, or a great protein packed snack to throw into the lunch box.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c Pumpkin puree
- 1/4 - 1/2 c Nut butter

- 1/3 c Maple syrup / honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 1-3 tbsp chia seeds
- 8-10 pitted dates

I typically eyeball and taste test for desired amounts of each ingredient. Combine all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until mushy, thick batter. Scoop out 1 tbsp and roll into balls. Place in Tupperware in freezer or refrigerator and enjoy!
Pumpkin Spice Protein Smoothie
Refreshing, seasonal, and protein packed. Enjoy for breakfast, post workout, or as a mid afternoon pick me up. Super easy, just throw in a blender and enjoy!

Add ice if you would like a colder and thicker consistency. Blend and enjoy sipping on your fall favorite protein shake.
Restaurant Review - Pure Taco
A new restaurant to check out in downtown Carlsbad. Fun, trendy vibe - located right next to the new Lofty Coffee off of State Street. They have indoor and outdoor dining and all the food and drinks look delicious! The Tacos are a great size with unique fillings. Make sure to ask for all the salsas to try out.
They have breakfast served as well. Get downtown and order yourself a couple gourmet tacos and a spicy margarita...Yum!

A Note from the Agency Owner
Hello friends, family, clients and readers. September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. Many of our clients like to review their life insurance during this month and our industry recognizes the importance of reviewing or purchasing this product. If you have purchased a term life insurance policy in the last 20 years, take time to review your ability to convert the policy into a permanent life insurance plan before the conversion period expires. No need for a health exam, just have your representative or our agency produce an illustration to see what type of cash build up you can have in the separate account, or see how long the decided premium will last. Furthermore, the Universal Life Policies written in the 80's and 90's are lapsing because of lack of funding and the projected high interest rates back in those days. Make certain you understand the cost of your insurance, the rate of return you should expect in todays environment and finally, what funding is needed to keep my policy in force. All questions are important to our clients and our agency regarding life insurance. You don't know what you don't know so please reach out with your questions weather or not the policy is issued through Farmers New World Life or not, we are present to assist.
3rd Quarter review of the goals we set in January is on the table for the Domingo Family. We have been practicing this task since 1996 and it is so fulfilling to see how much our family has accomplished. Remember to write down your goals, measure them and make certain to check it off the list and add a new goal. If you don't make or have a target, you will miss 100% of the time. Wishing and praying that all of you have a great fall season.
Kindly, Glenn & Amanda Domingo, your bloggers from the Best Coast
