My Number One Rideshare - Alto Arrives In Miami

September 30, 2021 janet gunn
Welcome to Miami

Welcome to Miami

Several years ago I saw a friend of mine who lives in Dallas step out of this fabulous rideshare on her Instagram account and I immediately reached out to Alto to see if L.A. might be the next lucky city. Music to my ears, they said “yes” and would reach out to me with the arrival date… I couldn't wait! After reading articles about this luxury service I was thrilled for a rideshare company that focuses on their passengers, safety, and security! The word’s getting out and I’m over here doing my own “happy dance” celebrating Alto's launch in one of my favorite places, Miami!

For Alto, It all started in October 2018 in Dallas and now that our son is attending SMU I am thrilled to know this is the rideshare he steps into. He's also letting his new friends know all about Alto, so any parents or grandparents that might be in Dallas, Houston, L.A., and now Miami, spread the word - dependable rideshare is available!
I'm from Ft. Worth and lived in Dallas for many years before moving to L.A. so I’m happily returning to "Big D" and I’m quite content to travel in “Alto Style.”

P.S. Have you stepped into an Alto painted by Gray Malin

Alto Drivers

Alto drivers are employees of Alto, they are W2 employees not contract workers plus; they wear a uniform, they aren’t driving their personal car, and it feels like you have a personal driver and that’s a priceless experience.

You can find newly updated schedules on their website.

*Don’t worry everything is sanitized before you step inside and here’s what you’ll find inside:

WiFi, branded water bottles, umbrellas, and a variety of phone chargers. Did you know, Alto is the only rideshare that is allowed to pick up curbside at LAX? This is a great perk, if you’ve traveled to LAX you know what I mean…and if you're a member you can preschedule your rides to and from, just remember to give a little time if you're checking luggage - see how to schedule here

Become a member - Alto members save up to 30% on every ride and have access to rides during the busiest “members only” times and your first month of membership is free!

There is no comparison to other rideshares, Alto stands out for all sorts of reasons. Yes, it costs a little more and it’s sooo worth it, after all, it’s you and your family’s peace of mind.

Stay safe, Janet

DAILY ROUTINE TO HEALTHY HAIR - $5 WITH COLLECTIVE LABORATORIES

September 3, 2021 janet gunn
COllective Labs JanET GUNN

Let’s talk healthy hair and a great deal on this subscription!

Here's a healthy daily routine and subscription that's worth getting into! @collectivelabs mission continues to educate us on clean and effective ways to generate healthy hair growth. Losing our hair can begin from all sorts of reasons and mine was hormonal. Not thrilled about seeing strands of hair in the sink, on my clothing, and thining along my forehead, I began my Collective Labs journey with their serum a few years ago, and in the past year after using their shampoo and conditioner…what a difference! I don’t expect to have “lush locks” as I did in my youth but not seeing it fall out at the rate it was, well that was all I needed to commit to my daily routine.

  • Here's how to save money and your hair

  • Purchase of a Regimen subscription and your 1st month will be $5, discounted from $72.

    This is a one-month supply of serum, shampoo, and conditioner for $5.

This scalp wellness kit includes our Detoxifying Shampoo, Fortifying Conditioner, and Activating Serum. Their Regimen is designed to detoxify, fortify, and revive your scalp and strands. The product in this bundle works as a team to promote scalp health and growth. It’s 3 easy steps that are a game-changer. We just sent our son off to college with his scalp wellness kit as a preventive. Can you imagine having the knowledge when you were younger about the chemicals some of us were applying to our scalp! I’m thrilled that his generation and younger are tapped into the power of plants, science and learning about harmful chemicals we just don’t need.

Collective Labs combined the most potent ingredients proven to help your hair grow. There are No harsh chemicals, no side effects. With the shampoo, you are detoxifying, with the conditioner you are repairing and strengthen, and with the serum, you are stimulating healthy hair growth.

Note - when the subscription renews for the following months, the full price of $72 will be charged. A subscription renews every 30 days.

Benefits - Free shipping on every order, access to our Scalp Wellness Team, the ability to track your growth and progress on the CL website, and you can skip shipments, adjust your delivery dates, or cancel at any time.

Email me if you have any questions and please visit their website for full details.

Have a lovely long weekend everyone!

WHBM DENIM + FALL JACKETS FOR A GREAT FIT

August 31, 2021 janet gunn

Last week I teamed up with WHBM for their denim collection and I also found a few other pieces that caught my eye. Living in L.A. we rarely have warm, balmy nights so my jacket collection seems to occupy most of the “real estate” in my wardrobe…along with the denim. Here’s what I love about WHBM, they have a petite line that fits true to size.

When I order their pants, jackets, and tops I know exactly how they’ll fit. These Moonlight Gray Denim are a trendier leg shape, a bootcut crop that works with heels, boots, or sneakers.

Do you have a great-fitting blazer?? Their WHBM® Signature Blazer is a must-have. It fits like a glove, it’s classic and made with stretch fabric that moves with you, It’s flattering no matter what you pair it with. This Mock-Neck sweater is lightweight and sexy. It has a hidden zipper in the back so it’s easy to get on and off.

Here’s a jacket with a fun personality, this Petite Ruffle Front Jacket. A versatile, light jacket with a bit of drama and perfect for LA summer nights and fall. I’m wearing a double 00 so it fits snug, if you’re petite and want to wear more than a tank underneath, I suggest going up a size.

My other sleeveless pick was this Stitch Halter Top. There is a touch of sheen to it, making it great for evening and I am living in these High-Rise Sculpt Destructed Straight Crop Jeans think comfort with a bit of edge.
