  • Ruben Toledo and Ralph Pucci collaborate on design.

    We find these designs simple and chic and wanted to share them with you…  This is definitely part of ‘Inspired Living’… and we hope that as the real estate market in Puerto Vallarta shifts so do the design elements being introduced here.

    Since meeting in the mid-1980’s, artist Ruben Toledo and Ralph Pucci International’s Ralph Pucci have mingled socially and rubbed shoulders professionally, the latter relationship spawning seven mannequin collections. When the two reconnected at a party this year, an old topic resurfaced—joining forces on furniture and talk soon yielded a signed series of limited editions aptly named Collaboration.

    In his Midtown studio, Toledo had his way with existing styles of Pucci tables and seating, garnishing the cerused-oak surfaces with oil paint yet leaving stainless-steel and glass components intact. Now, a landscape of enigmatic faces populates the square side table. On the bench and dining table, silhouettes chronicle fashion evolution, from Romantic and Victorian to flapper and mod. Hypnotic eyes peer out from the console, cocktail table, and chair.

    While this marked the duo’s first nonfashion alliance, after so many mannequins, the lure of display proved hard to resist. So Toledo spent 10 days in the penthouse showroom, painting murals that became the back drop for a month long exhibit and a party.

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Financial Requirements for Residency in Puerto Vallarta

    Financial Requirements for Residency in Puerto Vallarta

    We are often asked about financial requirements for residency in Puerto Vallarta. It seems tricky but it’s quite simple. The first thing you should know is that the beginning stages of acquiring residency are done in your own country. You will need to go to your Mexican Consulate. Some states and provinces have only one consulate, for example New York, which means a certain amount of travel. Others, like California, Texas and Arizona have several, making planning a lot easier. Canada has three, in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.
    When you will apply for temporary or permanent residency you need to be able to prove your foreign source income. It’s amazing how much easier life is in Puerto Vallarta if you’ve gone through these steps. It’s good to remember that most applications in our home countries take a considerable amount of time, as well, including buying or renting property, getting a car loan, registering a child for school. It’s no different in Puerto Vallarta.
    Be prepared. Go to the website of your local consulate and find out exactly what paperwork is required before you make the trip. Bring originals and copies; don’t rely on the consulate to make copies for you. Allow yourself time and be prepared to wait, even after you’ve been called on. We recommend bringing a book, knitting, a quiet device you can work on, or whatever you normally do to occupy empty time.
    There are specific requirements for different types of residency. If you have family living in Puerto Vallarta, including Mexican Nationals, there are going to be particular questions. If you are a family moving to Puerto Vallarta, more than one generation, you need to have paperwork for every person involved. Babies need passports, too.
    Regardless of age, working or retired, going to school in Puerto Vallarta, or just sticking around the beach on a daily basis, you will need to show an average monthly income after taxes, of at least 300 days the Mexican minimum wage, which increased in January 2019 from $88.35 Mexican pesos to $102.68 Mexican pesos. That’s roughly $5.15 at the date we are writing this, but one thing we can guarantee, it will fluctuate. You’ll need 12 previous months of documents showing the above.
    Bring all paperwork (your escritura, receipts for property taxes, utility bills) if you own property in Mexico valued over 40,000 days of minimum wage. Show all savings and investments with an average monthly balance of 5,000 days worth the above stated minimum wage. Generally speaking, people who immigrate to Mexico are required to complete four years as a temporary resident after which they can obtain their permanent residency. However, exceptions are made for foreign retirees/common pensioners who can apply for permanent residency immediately, if they can present paperwork for all the qualifications. One hundred days of minimum wage must be added to these figures for spouses and independents.

  • 365 Fun Things To Do In Puerto Vallarta #3 Playa Mismaloya

    Playa Mismaloya Puerto Vallarta
    Playa Mismaloya Puerto Vallarta

    Sunday is beach day in Puerto Vallarta for tourists and residents alike.   Playa Los Muertos and the town beaches get quite crowded on this day, so it can be lots of fun to take off to one of the many close by beaches.  Playa Mismaloya is located 20 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta and you can get there by bus, taxi or car.  Take Carratera a Mismaloya south – you access the public beach on the road just to the south of the Barcelo Resort.

    Playa Mismaloya is located within a small bay that is fed by the Rio Mismaloya and it is a fantastic place for swimming as there is no strong  tide or undertow.  You can hire a boat to go fishing or to take a trip around Los Arcos.  Jet skis and parasailing are available.  There are several beachfront restaurants with fish, seafood and Mexican food items and they provide beach service including tables, chairs and chaises and of course bar service so you can have all the beers or margaritas you desire.

    You can take a stroll along the beach and you can also see what remains of the Night of the Iguana movie set that was filmed in this very location 49 years ago in 1963.

    It is a great way to spend time with friends or family and while away an afternoon at the beach.

    Ocean Friendly Tours

    Offering Responsible & Respectful Whale Watching Tours in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

    Ocean Friendly Tours is a new concept in responsible tour operation in Puerto Vallarta with a unique visual and acoustic approach to the marine world of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. At Ocean Friendly Tours we provide a specialized and personalized service that blends professional knowledge of the marine environment and safety with love and care for nature. Oceanographer Oscar Frey and Ocean Friendly Tours have become a respectful and sophisticated way to approach the marine life and landscapes in Puerto Vallarta.

    Ocean Friendly Tours was recently voted THE number one tour available in Puerto Vallarta and given a Certificate of Excellence by Trip Advisor and were greatly honored to receive this incredible recognition.

    Ocean Friendly Tours was a pioneer in developing some of the first whale watching tours and research activities on Banderas Bay. We offer daily and customized trips to discover the realm of whales and dolphins on the enormous bay off Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for more than one decade. All tours are led by a bilingual marine scientist and a specialized crew. Today, Oscar works closely with other researchers and together they share their collected data with researchers to the north in an attempt to better understand and conserve the Humpback whale species.

    Two years ago, we formed a new nonprofit corporation call Deep Blue Conservancy. With this nonprofit status we are now able to apply for corporate grants and tax deductible donations from individuals to fund our ongoing research programs. From our hearts we are dedicated to the preservation of marine life and ecosystems impacted by human activity by focusing on education and technology to protect and preserve our oceanic heritage for future generations.

    Ocean Friendly Tours and Deep Blue Conservancy have joined forces to move forward with research that benefits Humpback whales and coastal environments and more importantly to provide education and conservation knowledge for the next generation of researchers that will fill our shoes.

    Experiencing Humpback whales on Banderas Bay is a very unique experience. This incredible bay lies in a transition zone between the California current flowing from the north and the Costa Rican current flowing from the south. The convergence of these currents brings a multitude of both warm and cold water species. Thus making the experience even more multilayered.

    The underwater songs of the Humpback whales and their incredible presence on the water’s surface along with the other dolphin, bird and turtle species that we encounter on North America’s second largest bay is a beautiful way to spend a moment in nature.

    Ocean Friendly Tours strives to conduct an ecological and educational tour of one of the most important and astounding resources that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you to our classroom on the water. You can find out more about the available adventures at www.OceanFriendly.com or by calling the reservation desk locally at 225-3774.

    Ocean Friendly Tours and Deep Blue Conservancy will be offering a very special charity tour on Sunday, March 11th to benefiting Canica – the social service agency that assists local Vallarta children and families in obtaining the cancer treatment that they could not normally afford on their own. We will be donating a portion of all proceeds from this particular tour to this important local cause.

  • 1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair a hit!

    The first annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair took place at the Rivera Molino Plaza on Saturday, March 2nd, 2013. The successful event hosted by Timothy Real Estate Group, included over 12 local businesses and professionals offering free advice ranging from mortgages, health care providers, home owners insurance, real estate, immigration and it’s laws, interior design and more.

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    “I am very pleased with the turn out,” said Carl Timothy, one of the principal forces of the successful event and president of Timothy Real Estate Group. “With an ever evolving market and new rules and regulations, we thought it would be a great opportunity for foreigners, local professionals and our clients to have a chance to come out and meet face-to-face with some of the leaders in these industries and get the information they need first hand.”

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    It was estimated that over 150+ people turned out for the event, on a gorgeous Vallarta day. “This was sort of our trial run, to see if there would be any public interest for this sort of thing,” said the other force behind the event, Taniel Chemsian. “Often our clients asks us who to contact for information regarding interior design, a real estate attorney, insurance, immigration, you name it. The realtors kind of become the ‘directory’ for their clients. So we thought, why not bring all these professionals under one roof, for a one day event, so everyone can have the opportunity for a sit down one-on-one discussion concerning their needs. I’m happy to see that we had a big turn out.”

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    One visitor proclaimed, “This was wonderful.  I’ve been living in Mexico on an old FM3 visa for over 4 years, and when I heard the immigration laws had changed, I was concerned as to how it would affect my foreign license plated car and my visa renewal.  Irving Becerril (from Riedesser & Associates) calmly explained the new changes. It was great information that is sometimes lacking when you are surfing online. You never know what you are reading on the web is current or accurate, so to have this event and have the opportunity to come down and gather the information first hand makes a big difference.”

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    Some exhibitors, having done business with one another for years, got to finally meet in person for the first time. “Oscar & I enjoyed ourselves and found today to be a productive and educational day. My appreciation to all the attendees.  It was good to catch up with them and to have the opportunity to meet for the first time with some of the other professionals,” said Kevin Crisp from Stewart Title Latin America.

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    When asked about the future of the fair, Taniel continued to say, “We are already looking forward to and planning next year’s event. We anticipate there will be more exhibitors readily available to help answer questions and perhaps a few hidden surprises for everyone.”

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Blue Flag Beach

    What is a Blue Flag Beach?

    Rachel Carson, the environmentalist said “In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand, there is the story of the earth.”
    The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) a not-for-profit non-governmental organization, aims to make these stories sustainable and preserved for future generations. In their mission, they have appointed awards to the member countries, of which there are sixty, Mexico among them. The FEE criteria include standards for quality, safety, environmental education and information, the provision of services and general environmental management. The Blue Flag is a trademark. These awards/certifications are issued on an annual basis.
    There are beaches in Puerto Vallarta that have been given these awards, which is a good sign for our coastal area. Once a beach has been certified, it must continue to maintain this status, which is done by water testing. The Blue Flag certified beaches in Puerto Vallarta are Palmares, Camerones, Playa del Oro, Amapas, Conchas Chinas I and II, Garza Blanca and the Sheraton Beach.
    There is no doubt that these awards, as they are called, are extremely important to tourism in Puerto Vallarta. At any given time, Puerto Vallarta can be noted as having the most number of certifications in all of Mexico. It’s the duty of the Hotel Association and Motels (AHyM) to pay due diligence as these FEE reports are obtained by travel magazines, agencies, and world news centers. They must work hand in hand with the municipal government, private sector, plus state and federal administrations for the certifications and further testing.
    What’s good for beachgoers is good for the environment, which is where the bottom line is. If we don’t keep the sustainability of the water surrounding us, we will not have the stories to tell of which Rachel Carson spoke.

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Home Swapping

    Home Swapping in Puerto Vallarta

    Home swapping has become very popular in the past couple decades and Puerto Vallarta loves the idea. It gives people a chance to see our city, as well as Puerto Vallarta homeowners having an inexpensive getaway. If you consider this type of travel risky, don’t like the idea of people touching your stuff, or you have privacy issues, this is not for you. However there are a lot of people doing it these days and those with the most posh homes get to stay in glamorous New York high-rise apartments and swanky beach villas. We’ve yet to hear a bad trip story. There’s a trade at every level and once you scan the sites, you’re sure to find something with a match to your home in Puerto Vallarta. Of course, the nicer your home, the better swap you will have. Some people offer the use of a vehicle, too. It’s a great way to travel.
    There are several different ways to swap homes. Simultaneous swap is the most common. Simply swap homes on an agreed upon time frame. Non-simultaneous usually works well with second homes, great for people going on vacation and not wanting to leave an empty house. Different dates are chosen for the swap. Some companies offer point systems; you allow guests to stay in your home in Puerto Vallarta while you’re on vacation or business and redeem your points in homes participating in the program. There’s also a method commonly referred to as hospitality exchange, which give travelers the chance to be hosted in someone’s extra bedroom, while putting themselves on a list to do the same on a date in the future. Then there’s house-sitting, which sometimes includes pet care, but can often run into weeks and even months; a great way to live abroad, see the sites and not be rushed.
    Our experience has been one of making new friends outside of Puerto Vallarta, visiting places we might not ordinarily have the chance to see. Staying in suburban areas has a great appeal; especially when there’s a good public transportation system. When traveling, it’s good to get out of your comfort zone, learn about the area and its cultural contributions, and discover interesting historical facts. If you’re staying in someone’s home, you have the opportunity to meet their neighbors. Many home-exchangers let their neighboring apartments or houses know there will be someone unfamiliar staying in their place. This gives you the chance to know the locals, which is, by far, the best way to travel to any destination.

    Good places to start your adventure are homeexhange.com, homelink.com, and intervac-homeexchange.com. Buen viaje!

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Vegetarian Options

    Vegetarian Restaurants

    Many years ago we were delighted when Planeta Vegetariano opened on the north side of Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral. It was a great choice to treat our vegetarian friends and at the time it opened, there was nothing like it in Puerto Vallarta. Their buffet had a great variety and the place has always been clean and inviting. The best chile relleno to be found and beans you can eat forever. You’ll find them at Iturbide 270.
    Presently, there are many more choices and they’re spread from one end of town to the other. We name a few here.
    A personal favorite is Planet Detox on Prisciliano Sánchez, the road directly south of Costco that takes you to Pitillal. They have a varied menu with lots of surprises, plus cold pressed juices, smoothies, and excellent desserts. If you’re looking for non-dairy, this is an awesome place for sweets. They are in Colonia Las Moras, at Calle Prisciliano 519.
    The Yogi Bar in the Marina has amazing bowls, for breakfast and lunch. Bowls are a relatively new thing, and we love them for the fact we can add or subtract ingredients according to taste. Those with berries and açaí are our favorites and very filling. The sandwiches and waffles at the yogi bar are to over the top and for a quick pick me up, they have shots (just like tequila, only healthier options) for anti-inflammatory and energy. Service is very friendly and accommodating.
    For some excellent gluten free selections, check out The Green Place in Colonia 5 de Deciembre. Located at Honduras 309, they are open for breakfast and lunch, plus they do wonderful workshops on vegan cooking and the vegan diet. (https://www.curlygirldesign.com/) This is where you can learn to eat vegan, be totally sustained, and love your meals.
    Many restaurants in Puerto Vallarta offer vegetarian and vegan options on their menus. El Erizo de Mau in Old Town on Pino Suarez 232 is open for dinner until 11 pm and has almost all five star reviews. El Erizo is only one example of establishments where one can find delicious and well prepared dishes that are vegetarian, plus gluten and dairy free. More restaurants in Puerto Vallarta are finding it’s a good idea to appeal to all appetites. Where we were once well known for ceviche and steak houses, we now have offerings for more sustainability. İBuen provecho!

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: When is it too much?

    Lessons in Not Overdoing

    Most people come to Puerto Vallarta and have a fabulous time. On the other hand, there are those who go overboard in all the wrong places, and we mean that literally.
    When you go to the beach it’s going to be HOT; you are much closer to the equator than where you hail from. If you are like the standard tourist, you’ll be exposing parts of your body that don’t likely see the sun on a regular basis. In some cases, never. We’re not talking just about underarms and backs of knees, though these are prime places to get blistered but good. Sun screen is available everywhere, in the large supermarkets, pharmacies, the OXXO’s (those 7-ll type stores that seem to be on every corner), and gift shops. This is intense heat and shouldn’t shine on you for more than half an hour, if you don’t want to look like a boiled lobster. Looking like one is almost as bad as feeling like one. Hats are advised, as well as the sarongs for sale everywhere. The sarongs here in Puerto Vallarta are called pareos and suitable for men, women and children. Wrap one around your waist and toss another over your shoulders.
    The other thing people overdo in Puerto Vallarta has to do with liquids. Water should be your main drink, all day, every day. When drinking alcohol, have a glass of water between each cocktail. It’ll keep you just as busy and make your head less spinney in the mornings. Dehydration is the number cause of self-induced trauma. When the girl in the disco, dressed as a bandolero tries to pour shots down your throat, all the while pounding on your head and demanding pesos, just say no. Avoid jello shots, which contain the most intoxicating, cheapest booze available. If you’re worried about ice, don’t be. It’s purified, just like the water that comes out of the big blue bottles. Finally, limit yourself and make a group decision about your limitations. Carry only enough cash in pesos to drink that maximum and get you back home. Drinking is a team sport, in which you make your own rules. Make sure you’re winning at the game.
    Que cómo es es.

  • 10 Unique Wash Basins for Your Dream Bathroom

    The bathroom is one of the most crucial areas of the house. It is where you can refresh yourself before or after work.  10 designers made use of their brilliant ideas to come up with simple but eye catching Wash Basin designs.
    This is definitely part of ‘Inspired Living’… and we hope that such beautiful design elements are introduced here soon.

     

    Wash Basins are made from different materials like : stainless steel, enamel over steel or cast iron, ceramic, marble, plastic, soapstone, concrete, terrazzo, wood, stone, copper, glass or granite. Too many right? Name it, and the manufacturers would sure be able to create one just for you. That is how they always come forth and make new designs – for client’s request or maybe due to the demand at hand. Every household would like to have their furniture or fixtures for that matter to be one of a kind and special. Specially-made wash basins usually cost a fortune, that is why users just choose whatever are at the shops.

    This design is basically a classic wash basin, although the materials were sort of minimized with intertwining the body of the wash basin to give it elegance and a unique touch which also makes the material lighter than normal.

    Stalactites are popular for people who are fond of visiting caves, but for those who are not – here is one heck of a wash basin that resembles a stalactite.

    The unique designs that we have presented today surely charmed us with how they would possibly go with our very own bathrooms. They look all modern, out of this world maybe, but all in all, the wash basin designs that were presented in this article impressed us and inspired us to do away with mainstream wash basin designs that are available in our local home depots.
