  • Get a Shave in Puerto Vallarta

    Get a Shave in Puerto Vallarta

    This is for the gents who want to experience luxury and pampering for a very small price. For less than $10 USD, you can get a hot towel, traditional facial shave in Puerto Vallarta. It’s an experience that might change your attitude about indulgence.

    Why get a hot towel shave in Puerto Vallarta? Primarily, as far as we’re concerned, it’s about relaxation and doing something for you! A shave at home in the morning usually takes about three to five minutes, depending on trimming of beards and moustaches. Nicks are common, blades are often dulled from use and after-shave tenderness is normal. Using inferior products, soaps, and aftershave is just not smart. It’s your face; the only one you have. Give it some love. We recommend at least once a week.

    When you get a hot towel shave in Puerto Vallarta, the beard is softened, you get a closer shave and the pores open up, leaving less irritation.

    Some shops in Puerto Vallarta use traditional straight razors, while others use safety razors, with disposable blades. These edges are extremely sharp, making it possible to get very close. Disposable razors, the kind you usually have when traveling, are lightweight and the quality of the blade is lacking. A straight razor shave is going to be much closer, and make you face feel like a newborn baby; it will be smooth and last longer.

    Barbers sanitize hair clippers, scissors, blades and other tools, which is something we don’t do at home. Bacteria can occur on the skin at anytime and even the smallest abrasion can cause an infection, which explains some of the skin eruptions you get when you do quick shaves at home.

    Barbers in Puerto Vallarta are known for their great hairstyling; the cost of a shave and haircut is usually in the vicinity of $15 USD. These artists are great at styling moustaches, beards, and for a small added cost will clean up those bushy eyebrows, too.

    Walking down the streets of anywhere in Puerto Vallarta… Old Town, El Centro, Pitillal, or at one of the modern malls, you’re sure to find excellent barbershops, both modern and very traditional.

    You’ll find that barbershops in Puerto Vallarta offer complimentary cold beer or full bar. Nothing like a gin and tonic to go with your shave and haircut!

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Environmental Issues

    Environmental Issues in Puerto Vallarta

    When we decide to live here, we must be a part of the effort to face serious issues. Any fool knows there is no such thing as true paradise but we can do our best to help it be as perfect as possible. The water issues facing Puerto Vallarta are something we join the effort to do something about. Sustainability is just as possible and affordable here in Puerto Vallarta as other parts of the planet. A few months ago a project got underway to dam the El Río Los Horcones and divert the water along a pipeline to a power plant. If you’ve been held up on the highway by protests, this is what the uproar is about. Besides the fact there is no environmental impact statement to be found, nor any studies done to provide answers to what will happen to the population in the area, no one has even let the villagers know what the outcome or consequences will be. Nor have any other residents been informed. It has been only through the diligence of a couple concerned citizens that attention has been brought to this dilemma.
    In another matter, raw sewage has spewed into El Estero El Salado, with warnings to not swim near the area. This is the only registered preserve in Puerto Vallarta and some peple depend on the seafood that is linked to those waters, which cannot be eaten until this is cleaned up, with no idea as to when that might occur, not to mention the lack of control over the pipelines that cause these problems in the first place.
    This isn’t the complete fault of all the new construction in Puerto Vallarta. Nature has played her part, as well. Until this past Sunday July 7, the normal gully washers that Puerto Vallarta looks forward to every summer, which cool the air and raise the level of reserves, have been absent. Global warming is no joke, no matter how uneducated one chooses to be regarding the matter. It is beginning to have major impact on our lives. Local water reserves are at an historic low, and water service outages are planned for Puerto Vallarta, with reasons being given as routine maintenance. Anyone who’s paid any attention to this issue knows that this is abnormal. Proper management is part and parcel to the problem.
    What can you do? Letters to local papers are sincerely invited, as well as contacting representatives with your concerns. Right to assemble laws are different in Mexico, so be careful when joining protests; find out who the organizers are and what it allowed within the law. Participate to the level you can legally do so. Most of all, conserve. Be aware and alert when it comes to your own water usage and environmental concerns.

  • Los Mangos Bazaar Puerto Vallarta

    Puerto Bazar at Biblioteca Los Mangos

    In an old mango orchard in Puerto Vallarta, on Avenida Francisco Villa a dream came true when the library was built with the help of community support. Opened in November of 1996 and host to guests of many countries, there are books in English, Spanish and other languages. Audio and visual services are also available. Free to the public and those who live in Puerto Vallarta (even short-timers) can get a library card. Your passport and a copy of a utility bill is all you need.

    We pass along our used books to the library once we find we have a bit of a pile, and they always receive them with gratefulness and a big smile. If you have books gathering dust and at risk of mildew, get them to the biblioteca, where they will lovingly lend and take care of them. They accept books in all languages.

    You’ll find other things happening in and around this rustic building. Ballet classes, piano, yoga, sculpture and painting classes; all very affordable. Cultural activities, art shows and community events take place inside and out on the expansive lawn.

    This weekend, March 16th and 17th, you won’t want to miss the Third Annual Puerto Bazar at Biblioteca Los Mangos! Here is a chance to get some Mexican coolture. There will be entrepreneurs from Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas, showing off art, design, music, dance and a diversity of many talents. Some contributors will include Sandy Ideas; Peekabow Mx; Je Suis; JUST-Alma PV; Little Maravillas; Sunflower Beuaty Care; Hilo & el Mar; ZARU Catering & Eventos, plus many more.

  • Puerto Vallarta Inspired Living News: Movie Time

    Meet You at the Movies

    Puerto Vallarta has always been big on movies, for locals, expats and tourists alike. From the old Bahia in the middle of town (now sadly gone), to the huge multiplexes in the malls, there has never been a shortage of places to catch up on a film. We’ve had a couple of fabulous film festivals over the years, with both English and Spanish language, and an occasional nod to the French. Democrats Abroad have been putting on their own series for eleven years to date, and they are excited to start a new season for 2019 – 20.

    Incanto, the charming cabaret in Puerto Vallarta at Calle Insurgentes 109, right next to the Rio Cuale, will be hosting the Democrats Abroad’s movies this year. With a 3:00 pm film time on Wednesdays, there should be no conflicts with evening events. This time slot also gives patrons a chance to dine before or after. Big pluses are the bar service at Incanto, serving beer, wine and mixed drinks to movie-goers, as well as their nice comfy seating.

    The list of films is very appealing, starting on December 4th with White Crow, the story of the incredible Russian ballet dancer, Rudolf Nureyev and his daring defection to the United States. Following through the season you won’t want to miss Boy Erased, Apollo 11, they Shall Not Grow Old, Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes, The Wife, Echo in the Canyon, If Beale Street Could Talk, The River and the Wall, Cold War, Free Solo, On the Basis of Sex, The Biggest Little Farm, and tying up with major hit dramedy, The Farewell.

    The above list is a very diverse selection of great films that have been released in the past year; nothing stale here. The variety runs everything from deep drama to hilarious comedy, some claiming both of these attributes in the same movie, hence the moniker dramedy. There’s politics, documentary, fiction and non, religion, literature, adventure, war, environmental, music, several Academy Award winners and many fine actors.

    For a quiet relaxing afternoon in Puerto Vallarta, away from the beach, tourists, and heat, make your way to Incanto on Wednesday afternoons. Tickets are available at the box office at Incanto. For 100 pesos, you can’t beat the price.

  • Vallarta Inspired Living News: Beef Dip

    Beef Dip Puerto Vallarta

    The Beef Dip is allegedly the hottest gay event in Puerto Vallarta of the year…for bears. Bears aren’t just big hairy, beefy guys from Chicago. They are any gay man who wants to join in on the funnest time a guy can have in Puerto Vallarta. Thousands of bears may be an exaggeration but in truth you can expect to see hundreds joining the Beef Dip, seven straight days of party, party, party. The dates are Sunday January 26th – Sunday February 2nd, 2020 and if you’re not booked yet, there is still time! There will be cruises, circuit parties with dancing going all through the night, an official Beef Dip Pub Crawl. Also on the agenda are a SPLASH pool party, beach BBQ, and booze cruise. For those still up to it, there will be a wild trek ATV tour, canopy zipline, and the week will close with a White Winter Party, which will give everyone a chance to get dressed up, rather than dressed down!

    An official welcoming party at The Blue Chairs resort from 3 – 9 pm on Day One starts the week of events with complimentary appetizers and a complimentary special Beef Dip margarita. Hosts will be available to answer questions in English and Spanish; everyone will get to check out new and seasoned bears, cubs and their admirers. This is not an experience for only gay men. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome and it’s a guarantee of fun, fun, fun. The Blue Chairs is an old institution in Puerto Vallarta, with killer views from the top floor, where the welcoming/meet and greet party will be held. You will find your official dog tags there and all the necessary identifications, which will give you discounts to many of the establishments in downtown Puerto Vallarta. Don’t forget to bring your printed ticket and photo ID to get signed in properly. We’ve heard you should also be able to pick up your tags at any of the events.

    Two parties not to miss are the Wet and Wild pool party and the Big Beef Dipper Dinner Party. For the dinner, reservations are highly recommended; you wouldn’t want to miss out.

    A Facebook page is set up for more information, as well as a website https://www.beefdip.com/.

  • Puerto Vallarta Inspired Living News: Christmas

    Christmas Starts Early in Puerto Vallarta

    The first twelve days of December in Puerto Vallarta are busy with streets filled with people walking long distance pilgrimages to the church in the center of the city. These walks, sometimes done barefoot, are called peregrinations, which comes from the Latin peregrinari, meaning to travel abroad, invariably with no other mode of transportation than walking. They do so to honor the Virgin, Our Lady of Guadalupe, in which peregrination defines their sojourn.

    The Días de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe bring parades and fiestas, with the main grand celebration taking place on December 12th, with no shortage of music, food, drink, and merriment in the streets of Puerto Vallarta.

    In 1943, Reverend Don Parra Castillo took over the vicarship in Puerto Vallarta. Reverend Parra Castillo was responsible for many church associated actions, including the construction of the cathedral, surrounding walls and plazas. Reverend Parra installed a dedicated generator for continual electric power to the church; assigned the sculptures for the Stations of the Cross, carved by a renowned Mexico City artist, Jesús Ramirez; restored the fading painting of the Lady of Guadalupe, which he then had properly blessed; added the christening chapel; and remodeled the parish offices, among many other accomplishments. His major undertaking was the famous church tower and clock, to which the elaborate crown was added later. Reverend Parra began annual peregrinations, pulling the community together to contribute to the less fortunate.

    There are few organizations in Puerto Vallarta who do not participate in these holidays. Hotels, supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and every fraternal group get involved. These moving displays depict the famous meeting of the peasant Juan Diego and the appearance of the virgin. Those who join the peregrinations arrive at the top of the cathedral steps and, if able, humbly finish the journey on their knees to travel the remaining few meters to the altar.

    From the first day of December until the 12th, pilgrimages fill the streets, observed by tens of thousands who come to join in the festivities and make their own personal peregrination. Amazing amounts of food and gifts are offered by those who march, often carrying heavily laden baskets. Truckloads and carts with fruits, vegetables, grains and assorted groceries and household goods are unloaded each day and distributed throughout the community.

    This tradition is a marvelous event, even if only viewing from a convenient balcony or on the sidelines from the sidewalk. The pageantry and ceremony are wonderful presentations of how Christmas is celebrated in Puerto Vallarta.

  • Puerto Vallarta Inspired Living News: Flor De Noche Buena

    Flor de Noche Buena

    Poinsettias are in proliferation in Puerto Vallarta. Everywhere one looks; parks, stores, the airport, lining streets, in private homes, restaurants, hotel lobbies and on and on. You can buy a bundle of them at roadside stands for much less than you are accustomed to NOTB. In Spanish, poinsettias are called Flor de Noche Buena, the flower of Christmas Eve.

    According to the Mexican legend, Pepita, a poor little peasant girl, traveled a long distance to honor the birth of the baby Jesus. She prayed for a gift to present at the altar of the church, since she was too poor to have afforded one of her own. An angel appeared to her on the side of the road, where angels seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in Mexico. Pepita was instructed to pick the ugly weeds surrounding her and present them upon her arrival at the house of worship. Her handful of wild, unattractive plants magically transformed themselves into beautiful leaves that observers felt resembled the blood of Christ. The shape of the inner foliage of the flower, to those looking for symbolism, resembles the Star of Bethlehem.

    Poinsettias are not poisonous. A 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 leaves to have a harmful effect. Considering the nasty taste of the milky sap that is emitted from the stalks, children and pets alike are likely to prefer tangerines, candy canes and dinner leftovers that adorn tables this time of year.

    In the mid 19th century the poinsettia was named in honor of Joel Roberts Poinsett, the US ambassador to Mexico, who was a botanist and doctor. The red blossoms are actually not a flower, but basically a continuation of the leaves, the red color produced through a process called photoperiodism, exposure to dark, rather than light, attributed in part to the long nights of winter.

    We will see the greatest profusion of Flor de Noche Buena in Puerto Vallarta, on the 12th of December, Guadalupana, the grand day that honors Our Lady of Guadalupe. Coincidentally, this is also the day of Joel Roberts Poinsett’s death in 1851.

    Poinsettias can’t survive a frost but will grow into small bushes in the proper climate. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, the plant is called Cuetlaxochitl, meaning “flower that grows in soil,” so chances are anyone will have some success moving them from decorative centerpiece to outdoor garden. Good luck, and when shopping, according to my experts, for a long lasting poinsettia choose those with little or no yellow pollen showing.

  • Protection in Puerto Vallarta

    Protect Yourself

    Recently someone posted on a well known Facebook thread, asking what type of protection they need in Puerto Vallarta. The responses, as usual, got out of hand and the thread had to be closed, due to nastiness on the part of some commentors. This is too bad because it’s an issue that should be addressed with finesse and logic.

    As we have said before in these guest columns, guns are not legal in Mexico. There is only one gun store in all of Mexico in the capitol, Mexico City. To purchase ammunition, one must go to a separate location. Can one still buy a gun in other places in Mexico? Sure, on the Black Market… it’s so verboten just thinking about it could get you deported. Shootings in Puerto Vallarta are rare. You are much more likely to die from being run over by a bus or taxi for not paying attention when you cross the street.

    Pepper spray was brought up in the conversation and there’s a debate as to whether it’s legal. It depends on who you talk to apparently, but the laws regarding its possession and use are shady and not concise. We recommend carrying a bottle of strong perfume. It’ll likely have the same affect.

    A local Mexican commented on the Facebook thread that it’s much safer in Puerto Vallarta, not only due to gun laws, but also because most people come here to have fun, not get into trouble. He also mentioned that Mexico doesn’t target particular racial groups, making them a target of violence. Everyone is welcome in Puerto Vallarta and all of Mexico.

    What should you do to protect yourself in Puerto Vallarta? Use common sense. Don’t flash wads of cash around and avoid carrying large amounts of money. Doesn’t this apply to anywhere you travel? Regarding comments about wearing expensive jewelry; it’s far better to have it on your person than leave it lying around. If you bring it, wear it.

    It’s really okay to stay out late and party, go dancing in the clubs, and get late-night tacos on the street. Once you’re ready to go home, walk on the main streets and know where you’re going. Use taxis; there are plenty around, even in the middle of the night. Uber is in Puerto Vallarta now and rides are extremely reasonable. Get the app on your phone before you come. If possible, move around town with friends.

    In the daytime, you are safer in Puerto Vallarta than just about anyplace we have ever been; but watch out for the aforementioned buses. If you’re alone, don’t drink so much it impairs your judgment. Keep a copy of your ID on you at all times and write down the address where you’re staying. Make yourself familiar with your surroundings so you don’t get lost. Be friendly. Speak a little Spanish.

  • Vallarta Inspired Living News: Caring For Kids

    What is DIF?

    You may have driven by the DIF Community Center on the north end of Puerto Vallarta proper, and seen families and children playing outside or standing in line and wondered what this building holds. DIF stands for Integrated Family Development (Desarrollo Integral Familiar).

    We’ve heard DIF referred to as the Mexican welfare system. Given the term welfare is defined as “the state of doing well especially in respect to good fortune, happiness, wellbeing, or prosperity,” DIF would definitely fall under that definition. Welfare is, after all, an attitude towards those in need on multiple levels. This institution in Puerto Vallarta and all of Mexico, aims to strengthen and develop the wellbeing of families. Founded in 1977 by Carmen Romano, the First Lady of Mexico and wife of President José López Portillo, the role was held by first ladies of Mexico until the year 2000, when the unmarried President Vicente Fox appointed Ana Teresa Aranda to the post. Local chapters are responsible for reporting to municipal presidents and governors.

    Mexico should be recognized on the national stage for their focus, through DIF, and their public health programs for making the most progress, with twenty other nations, in reducing child mortality, at a decline of almost 60% in the past decade. Immunizations are largely responsible for this progress. This kind of success has been attributed to the proportion (94%) of fully immunized children under the age of five. DIF in Puerto Vallarta works hand in hand with the health department, bringing awareness to the need for vaccinations, along with ambitious radio and television campaigns.

    DIF works with local shelters for women and children. Those who are abused, neglected, homeless are insured that everyone deserves a roof over their head and enough food to eat. Shelter homes (albergues) also provide clothing, education and other basic needs. DIF provides medical and dental services, in some instances hearing aids and glasses, plus legal counseling sessions to families and schools. In Puerto Vallarta, allegations of child abuse are taken very seriously and given a thorough investigation. Shelters also welcome aid from the community in the form of material donations and money. Agencies in the city work together to give needed assistance to teenage mothers, as well as provide recreational programs for children through social action centers, children’s centers, shelter homes and a variety of other public amenities. DIF is a government system that works unwaveringly for the people of Mexico.

  • Vallarta: Our Favorite Hour – Happy Hour

    Hora de Feliz – Happy Hour: We love Happy Hour in Puerto Vallarta. If luck has it, we can find the hour going on and on, since not all happy hours happen at the same time. The common time is between 4 pm and 6 pm, but many restaurants and bars extend this to pull in customers who will hopefully stay through the dinner hour, ordering the specials of the day. We’ve been to establishments who offer two happy hours! One in the afternoon and another in the evening, often with live music. It’s not unusual to find two-for-one drinks until midnight in Puerto Vallarta.

    How far back in history does Happy Hour go? We aren’t sure but we know that Shakespeare spoke of it in King Henry V with”Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour/That may give furtherance to our expedition…”

    Many believe that Happy Hour picked up speed in the United States during prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. Folks around the country met in each others’ homes before dinner for cocktails; it was discreet and private with alcohol either made in the neighborhood or smuggled in through the black market. Small towns had their backwoods stills and big cities had illegal importers. It was easier during this time to buy cocaine than liquor!

    Another opinion is Happy Hour was created by the US Navy and started aboard the USS Arkansas when sailors were entertained with movies, which were quite new at the time. Ships also had reviews; shows with music, dancing and vaudevillian acts. Wrestling and boxing matches were among the activities and all of this was accompanied by copious amounts of alcohol and cigarettes, drugs that helped with boredom and tension alike.

    It comes as a surprise to those from the US that some Canadians are restricted from Happy Hours, in some cases it’s outlawed! Alberta led the way, with minimum drink prices. Ireland, the UK and Glasgow have all banned Happy Hour and in the States, Massachusetts put a halt to it in 1984. That was the same time military bases also closed down all Happy Hours in their base clubs. On the other hand, other states have either extended the hour of Happy Hour or reinstated this practice, such as Pennsylvania, Kansas and Illinois.

    Luring people into bars is the main reason for Happy Hour in Puerto Vallarta but we hardly need a reason to participate, especially given the views from many of our favorite watering holes, the sunsets afforded us on the beaches and in high towers, and free music provided by local talent.

    Salud!
