FROM ABUELA’S KITCHEN TO YOURS Abuela’s Tacos has been serving up mouth-watering Mexican cuisine to the community since 2011.

he founder, Leslie Valdes, was inspired to start the restaurant after a difficult experience at Sunrise Hospital with her grandmother, Abuela Sara. The doctor had warned them that Abuela Sara might not make it through her surgery because of her age, and it hit Leslie hard to think that she might lose her. Having just graduated with her MBA, Leslie decided to honor her grandmother by opening a restaurant dedicated to her. Abuela Sara was known for her delicious Cuban food, and Leslie wanted to bring that same passion and flavor to the community. Despite the recession and the odds being stacked against them, Leslie signed the lease for an old mechanic shop in her childhood neighborhood and opened Abuela’s Tacos on January 21, 2011. The recipes at Abuela’s Tacos come from the main cook, Rita Ayala, who uses her Abuelita’s recipes from Durango, Mexico. Leslie and her team knew that they had to make everything homemade and from scratch to ensure that the food tasted just like it was made by someone’s grandmother. Even with very little staff at the beginning, everyone put their hearts into the restaurant to make it a success. The first five years were critical for the restaurant’s survival, but just when they had made it past that milestone, COVID-19 hit. It was a challenging time for Abuela’s Tacos,

but Leslie knew that some of her staff relied on the restaurant to make ends meet. They pivoted to curbside and delivery options, and with the support of their loyal customers, they were able to keep the doors open and continue serving the community. Now, twelve years later, Abuela’s Tacos has not only survived but thrived. They sponsor as many youth teams as they can and hold car washes and fundraisers to help the community when in need. And they have been recognized for their outstanding food and service, having been voted Best Tacos LV twice with the Review Journal, once with the Las Vegas Weekly, and even featured on Netflix’s Tacos of Chronicles. In 2021, the restaurant was even honored to be part of the Allegiant Stadium, with two stands inside the stadium. They’ve even won an award with the Vegas Knights. Leslie credits her success to her amazing staff, including her kids and her mom, who have helped her tremendously over the years. But more than anything, it’s the passion and love for Abuela Sara that drives Leslie and her team to keep making amazing food and giving back to the community. Abuela’s Tacos is not just a restaurant, it’s a symbol of the power of love and dedication. As they continue to grow and evolve, it’s clear that Abuela’s Tacos will always be more than just a restaurant - it’s a living legacy of Abuela Sara’s spirit and the enduring power

of family, love, and great food. Abuela’s Tacos is proof that with passion, determination, and a little bit of love, anything is possible. Spice up your next special event with Abuela’s Tacos catering! MV

The Tea Terrace FANCY AN AFTERNOON TEA?

In the heart of Las Vegas, there is a quaint little tea room that transports you to the English countryside with every sip of tea. The Tea Terrace is a charming, woman-owned establishment that offers afternoon tea, a British tradition that has been enjoyed for centuries.

ut what makes this place unique is not just the delicious scones and perfectly brewed tea, but the empowering story of how it came to be.

The Tea Terrace’s commitment to women empowerment extends beyond its walls. They source their tea and other ingredients from local, women-owned businesses. Inga believes in supporting women-owned businesses and creating a community of strong, empowered women.

Inga Parunyan, an inspiring woman with an exquisite taste in teas, opened her doors in the summer of 2020, amidst the chaos of the pandemic. While many businesses were closing down, The Tea Terrace was born out of the determination and passion of its owner. Inga had always dreamt of opening a tea room, a place where people could gather, connect, and enjoy a cup of tea. But she never thought she would be doing it in the middle of a pandemic. Like many others, Inga was faced with uncertainty and fear. But she saw an opportunity to create something beautiful amidst the chaos. Inga and her daughter Valeria spent months researching and planning, perfecting every detail to create the perfect tea room experience. From the dainty tea sets to the delicate floral arrangements, every aspect of The Tea Terrace is carefully thought out to provide an authentic British tea experience. The Tea Terrace’s signature offering is the afternoon tea, a beloved British tradition that dates back to the 1800s. It is a meal that is taken between lunch and dinner and consists of a selection of tea, sandwiches, scones, and cakes. The Tea Terrace’s version of this tradition is a feast for the senses. They offer a large selection of exclusive teas that

As you sit in the tea room, surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed tea and the gentle chatter of women, you can’t help but feel a sense of warmth and comfort. The Tea Terrace offers group reservations for all sorts of celebrations; from Bridal Showers to Baby Showers and everything in between.

are brewed to perfection, and the sandwiches are made with the freshest ingredients. But the star of the show is the scones. They are freshly baked, warm, and served with clotted cream and homemade jam. The scones are a true testament to the skill and dedication of the tea room’s bakers. The Tea Terrace is more than just a place to indulge in tea and scones. It is a space that celebrates women empowerment. Inga’s vision for the tea room was not only to create a beautiful space, but also to provide opportunities for women. She wanted to create a space where women could gather, connect, and support each other. And she has done just that.

In a time when the world feels uncertain and chaotic, The Tea Terrace offers a glimpse of hope and beauty. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can create something beautiful. Inga’s story is a testament to the power of determination and passion. She took a leap of faith, and now she has created a space that not only brings joy to others but also empowers women. The Tea Terrace is a beacon of hope and a reminder that when women come together, they can create magic. MV

WHAT’S THE DISH?

Rosa Mexicano

Nestled in the array of shops and entertainment at the Miracle Mile Shops, Rosa Mexicano brings a burst of authentic Mexican flavors to the bustling culinary scene. This newest addition caught many readers attention with its opening back in November of 2023, and we couldn’t wait to give it a try ourselves.

s we stepped into Rosa Mexicano, the colorful decor immediately transported us. We weren’t in Vegas anymore! The vibrant hues and intricate designs created an energetic yet comfortable ambiance. The restaurant effortlessly blends modern sophistication with the warmth of Mexican culture, making it a perfect spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions. After being greeting by the very welcoming and pleasant staff and Manager, William, we were on our way to an exciting meal. To start, we of course indulged in the signature guacamole, prepared tableside with fresh ingredients, optional add ins, and pink tortilla chips. It’s an experience that you just can’t take your eyes off of! It was also the best guacamole we’d ever had. I also recommend topping it off with the Plantain & Bacon Pico de Gallo, it’s the perfect addition of texture and flavor. The drink menu at Rosa Mexicano is equally renowned, featuring an extensive selection of handcrafted cocktails and award-winning margaritas. I went with one of their Frozen

Margaritas, and I couldn’t recommend the Guava enough. While my dining companion went for the Cristalino Tableside Freeze, served with Liquid Nitrogen around the glass for an instagrammable experience. For appetizers, we were met with plates and plates of goodness, our top hitters being the Lobster Taquitos and the Iceberg Wedge salad. The taquitos were small and packed with flavor, while the Wedge was large and a great choice for those wanting a light appetizer. (P.S. The avocado dressing on this is fantastic!) The main course- of course- did not disappoint, with options like tacos, enchiladas, and much more. We were fortunate enough to try their Birria Quesatacos, served with fresh ingredients and consomé. We also got a taste of a few of their Enchilada creations, Steak and Del Mar, which is a blend of lobster, shrimp and crabmeat. All of these wouldn’t be complete without their signature sides. Their Mexican Rice was excellent, but the must try side has to be the Cheese Chicharrón-Wrapped Sour Cream & Chives Mashed Potatoes.

For those with a carnivorous appetite, the 42oz longbone Tomahawk steak stole the spotlight. Grilled to perfection, this behemoth of a steak was a carnivore’s dream come true. The smoky aroma and tenderness of the meat were complemented by their Cilantro Chimmichuri. There were many showstopping entrées that night, but we had to tip our hats to the attention to detail of every aspect: the presentation, service, and flavors. All combined to create one incredible experience for guests. If you’re seeking an authentic yet contemporary Mexican dining experience in the heart of Las Vegas, give Rosa Mexicano a try!

3 WAYS TO OVERCOME WEIGHT LOSS RESISTANCE By: Tana Ashlee Weight Loss Expert

We all want to drop weight quickly, right? We all want to do it the correct way so the weight doesn’t come right back on, right? If you are still reading this, then I’m going to assume the answer is HECK YES!

Here is what I do when I feel like I am weight loss resistant… 1. 2. 3.

WEIGHT TRAINING PROTEIN SOLID MEALS

I hear women all the time talk about how they focus on cardio for weight loss or how scared they are to do weight training… It kills me because muscle is the best way to lose fat and keep it off. There’s nothing wrong with cardio but you need to be sure to get your weight training in as well. A great way to ease into this process without injury, getting sore, or you don’t want to workout for days… 1.

Stick with the basics. Squats, deadlift, lunge, row, shoulder press, push up, plank. Master form, then add weight. Body weight is fine to start with, then once you feel ready, you can add weight. Pick 3 days to workout at home for 15 minutes. It doesn’t seem like much but research is backing that when you take those consistent steps in a healthier direction, you are more likely to stick with it.

The next easy step to do is focus on getting protein in, and I am talking real protein. I grew up in the protein shake and protein bar era so I thought all protein was pretty much the same. I lived on protein bars for a long time until I really understood gut health and how bad these bars are for it. I was ex-periencing bloating, more cravings, and not really seeing any results.

Once I switched to animal protein, I felt better, had less cravings, and less hunger because of all the great nutrients I was getting from that simple switch up. I tell women to eat about a fist size of animal protein with each meal to get enough protein in and start seeing better results. Which leads me to the last hack… Solid meals. If you are grazing all day, you aren’t doing anything good for yourself. You are just spiking insulin and when insulin is high, you can’t burn fat. So make sure you do 2-4 solid meals a day. Aim for whole foods, not overly processed junk, as that destroys your gut health and makes it challenging to lose weight. You can still have your junk foods once or twice a week, just make sure it isn’t in your daily eating habits so you can control cravings and hunger to lose weight easier. I really want 2024 to be the year you feel your best so I am breaking things done as easily as I possibly can. That way you can start adding in these healthy habits and stick with them. If you are looking for guidance on your health and fitness journey, book your free weight loss consultation with me.

FACTORS INFLUENCING REAL ESTATE PRICES:

WHEN TO

STRIKE

DEAL

A GOOD

n the high-stakes world of real estate, timing can be everything. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned property investor, understanding the factors that influence real estate prices and knowing when to make your move can mean the difference between a savvy investment and a costly mistake.

more affordable. This typically results in increased demand for properties, which, in turn, drives prices up.

Imagine the real estate market as a constantly shifting landscape, with buyers and sellers navigating the terrain of sup-ply and demand. The tempo of this mar-ket is dictated by several factors that can either propel you forward in your real es-tate journey or have you waiting on the sidelines for the right moment.

3. Seasonal Trends

EXPERT TIP: Monitor changes in mortgage rates. A sudden drop in interest rates can create a window of opportunity for buy-ers to secure a better deal on their dream property.

1. Economic Indicators

Just as fashion trends change with the seasons, so do real estate markets. In many regions, there are seasonal fluctuations in demand. For instance, spring and summer are often considered the peak seasons for home buying, as families pre-fer to move when the weather is favorable and children are out of school.

One of the most significant influences on real estate prices is the overall state of the economy. In a robust economy with low unemployment and rising wages, there is often increased demand for housing, leading to higher prices. Conversely, during economic downturns, prices may stagnate or even decrease.

EXPERT TIP: While spring and summer may be prime seasons for buying, consider shopping for homes during the less com-petitive winter months. Sellers may be more willing to negotiate on price when there are fewer buyers in the market.

EXPERT TIP: Keep a close eye on economic indicators such as GDP growth, employ-ment rates, and consumer confidence when considering a real estate purchase. An economy on the upswing might be the ideal time to enter the market.

2. Interest Rates Interest rates can have a dramatic impact on the real estate market. When interest rates are low, borrowing money to finance a real estate purchase becomes

4. Location, Location, Location The age-old adage “location, location, location” still holds true. The desirability of a neighborhood or area can significantly impact property prices. Factors such as proximity to schools, public transportation, shopping centers, and job hubs all come into play. EXPERT TIP: Do your research and choose your location wisely. A well-located prop-erty can be a worthwhile investment even if you have to pay a premium.

5. Supply and Demand

The basic economic principle of supply and demand is at the heart of real estate pricing. When there are more buyers than available properties, prices tend to rise. Conversely, an oversupply of properties can lead to price declines. EXPERT TIP: Keep an eye on local market dy-namics. Understanding whether your tar-get area is experiencing a buyer’s market or a seller’s market can inform your nego-tiation strategy.

6. Demographics Demographic trends, such as population growth and migration patterns, can also affect real estate prices. For instance, if a city experiences an influx of young professionals, there may be increased demand for urban apartments, driving up prices in those areas. EXPERT TIP: Research demographic trends in your target market. Understanding who is moving in and out of an area can provide valuable insights into future price trends.

CHASING HAPPINESS By Shane Philip

hat was the happiest time of your life? There was a study done by Princeton University1 to determine the answer to that question. They interviewed 23,000 people ages 17 to 85 and they identified two ages when happiness tends to peak. The first was 23, the age when your education is behind you and you are finally earning an income. It is a season that is full of optimism and hope about the future. The other was 69, the age when the stresses of raising a family and earning a living are behind you and there is optimism about retirement. My guess is you are somewhere in between these two ages. So does that mean you are destined to be miserable until you finally retire? Not if you choose to change what you chase after. Happiness is based more on our circumstances, but joy and contentment

a personal relationship with his Heavenly Father: The Lord is my shepherd. David knows what it means to be a shepherd. He spent years watching sheep. However, David doesn’t write this psalm from the vantage point of a shepherd, he writes it from the perspective of the sheep. If the Lord is my shepherd, that means I am His sheep. That seems odd because sheep aren’t very bright. A few years ago in eastern Turkey, there was one sheep who went over a 50-foot cliff into a ravine and another 1,500 sheep followed him off the cliff. The first 400 of those sheep died, but the other 1,100 sheep survived because they landed on the pile of pillowy soft sheep.3 You would think that one of them would pause for a minute and say, “You know Eddie went over the cliff and never came back. Maybe I ought to reflect on that for a moment before I keep walking.” Sheep don’t have the best track record at making good decisions. come from a deeper place. Consider the words from one of the greatest chapters in the Bible, Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. 2

This isn’t a psalm about sheep. It’s about people. It’s about you and me. David reminds us that when you let the Lord be your shepherd; when you let God direct your path; that is when you lack nothing. That is where contentment is found.

This is a picture of contentment. These words are born out of the life of King David, who experienced some of life’s highest highs and lowest lows. As a teenager, he killed a giant by the name of Goliath. He was made King and achieved enormous success. But, he also experienced some of life’s greatest heartbreaks. He lost a child after birth, lost the throne to a son who tried to kill him and had a tumultuous relationship with his children.

It would be a few hundred years later when Jesus would say: “I am the good shepherd.” 4 (emphasis mine). Jesus is personifying Psalm 23: “You know that Psalm about the Lord being my shepherd? That’s me. I’m the good shepherd.”

But in the midst of these circumstances, he writes, “The Lord is my shepherd.” He has

UNLOCK YOUR HOME’S POTENTIAL:

TOP 5 REASONS TO HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER

Is your home feeling a little lackluster? Do you long for a space that truly re-flects your personality and style? If you’re nodding your head, then it’s time to consider hiring an interior designer. Here are the top five reasons why working with a design professional can be a game-changer for your home.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like it was missing something, but couldn’t quite put your finger on what it was? Interior designers have the ability to look at a space and instantly see its potential. They know how to create a room that not only looks great but also functions well. With their expertise, you’ll be able to turn your home into the sanctuary you’ve always dreamed of.

Renovating or redecorating your home can be a stressful experience. But with an interior designer by your side, you can relax and let them handle the details. They’ll take care of everything from creating a design plan to coordinating deliveries and installations. All you’ll have to do is sit back and watch your dream home come to life.

Unlock Your Home’s Potential

Get the Inside Scoop

As much as we’d like to think we’re design-savvy, interior designers are the real experts. They know the ins and outs of the industry and can help you navigate the often-overwhelming world of home decor. From choosing the right color palette to finding the perfect statement piece, they’ll give you insider knowledge and access to resources that the average homeowner doesn’t have.

Save Time and Money

Contrary to popular belief, hiring an interior designer can actually save you money in the long run. Designers have relationships with vendors and suppliers, which often allows them to get discounts on furniture and decor. They can also help you avoid costly mistakes by ensuring that you’re making the right decisions the first time around. With their guidance, you’ll be able to create a space that not only looks amazing but also fits within your budget.

Reduce Stress

Get a Home That Truly Reflects You

At the end of the day, your home should be a reflection of who you are. An interior designer will work with you to understand your personal style, preferences, and needs. They’ll help you create a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels like you. With their guidance, you’ll be able to achieve a home that is uniquely yours. If you’re looking to transform your home, hiring an interior designer is a smart investment. They’ll help you unlock your home’s potential, give you insider knowledge, save you time and money, reduce stress, and create a space that truly reflects you.

LISTEN TO YOUR CAR

Regular maintenance not only enhances your car’s performance but also extends its lifespan. Remember to keep your car pampered!

Keeping Your Ride in Prime Condition

As the miles roll by, it’s essential to know when to shower your vehicle with the care it deserves.

ust like regular health check-ups for us, cars too require specific maintenance at different milestones to ensure they keep running smoothly on the open road. Below is a step by step guide on the milestones and services your car needs, ensuring it remains a reliable and faithful partner in all of your rides.

3,000 to 5,000 Miles: The Oil Change Ritual Like a soothing spa day for your car, the first maintenance milestone is the oil change. This crucial service keeps the engine running smoothly by replacing the old oil with a fresh batch, ensuring optimal lubrication and minimizing wear and tear. Aim for this service every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to maintain peak engine performance.

3. The Oil Change Ritual

Tire Rotation and Inspection

The Big Three - Fluids, Filters, and Belts 15,000 to 30,000 Miles: Tire Rotation and Inspection Tires are the unsung heroes of your vehicle, enduring endless rotations on the pavement. At 15,000 to 30,000 miles, it’s time to reward them with a rotation to ensure even wear. This interval is also an excellent opportunity for a thorough tire inspection, checking for tread depth and potential issues. Consider replacing your tires around the 30,000 to 50,000-mile mark, depending on their condition.

5. Time for a Spark

Transmission Tune-Up

30,000 Miles: The Big Three Fluids, Filters, and Belts At the 30,000-mile mark, treat your car to a comprehensive check-up. This includes a thorough examination and potential replacement of vital fluids such as transmission, brake, and coolant fluids. Additionally, filters (air, fuel, and cabin) should be inspected and possibly replaced. Don’t forget to have a look at the serpentine belts. 60,000 Miles: Time for a Spark At 60,000 miles, your car deserves a little spark – literally. This is the ideal time to replace spark plugs and ignition components. A fresh set ensures efficient fuel combustion, leading to better fuel efficiency and overall performance. 90,000 Miles and Beyond: Transmission Tune-Up As your car cruises past the 90,000mile mark, it’s time to show some love to the transmission. Consider a transmission fluid change and a thorough inspection to keep this critical component in top-notch condition.

Regular maintenance not only enhances your car’s performance but also extends its lifespan. Remember to keep your car pampered!

TESTIMONIALS Hello Loren, I have a 1999 Buick LeSabre. It pulls to the right when braking. I have had a shop replace the front calipers rotors and brake pads. It still pulls to the right exactly the same as before the repairs. I went back and they told me my lower control arm bushings were worn out, causing the pull. I authorized new control arms. They said the pull was “better.” The car pulls to the right exactly the same. Now they are saying my frame is bent. I took it to my friend who works in a body shop, and he says I do not have a frame. It is a unibody and there is no rust or signs of flexing. Any suggestions? ~ Pulling my hair out Hello PMHO, You did not mention if the front brake flex hoses were ever replaced. With age, these can deteriorate internally and actually keep the brake applied. Or not apply the brake at all. This can result in a pull. This can be easily tested with a thermal probe. Bring it by and I will check it. We also offer free towing with repairs if you do not feel it is safe to drive. ~ Loren
