Valentine’s Day is just a little over a week away and Tampa businesses are gearing up for the holiday of love. For military families in the Tampa area though, holidays can be hard.

As a college student or young professional, you likely feel…
Do you ever receive your pay stub at work and think something just doesn’t add up? Before you write it off as being paranoid, it might be worth taking a second look. Unfortunately, whether by accident or with malicious intent, thousands of employers underpay their employees nationwide, and it’s a trend that affects people at…
Un nuevo año es el momento en que muchos de nosotros comenzamos un nuevo capítulo y establecemos nuevas metas y resoluciones para los próximos meses.

Winter…
Did Santa bring more than presents to your home this season? If a cold or flu made its way down the chimney (or through your front door), your holiday might have been a little less than ideal. Instead of sipping hot cocoa and enjoying your Christmas gifts, once your family and friends went home you…
Puede que la Navidad haya terminado, ¡pero eso no significa que las tiendas de Winter Haven se hayan calmado! Esta semana estará ocupada con compradores que regresan o intercambian regalos, personas que gastan sus tarjetas de regalo y dinero en efectivo de Navidad, y se abastecen para las fiestas de Nochevieja. En todo el ajetreo…

Over Christmas weekend, Florida experienced some unseasonably cold temperatures, and some locations even got ice! While that’s almost unheard of here in the Tampa area, it does occasionally happen, and as many driver’s experienced and will continue to experience during this cold snap, driving in freezing temperatures can be complicated. Some things to watch out for as…
