ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

THE CLUB•GROUP
Are you a Large Gal - a BBW - Big BEAUTIFUL Woman?
We're starting a group of gals to get together and do things where people are SAFE to be themselves - not worry about other people judging them - not worry about keeping up with then others in the group on an outing - whatever we decide to turn the group into!
It's a place to come together and CONNECT and SUPPORT each other!!
A place to FEEL GOOD about and CELEBRATE ourselves!!


THE GROUP INTENTIONS
(at least starting off)

MONTHLY+
(or more - depending on what Y'ALL desire)
we'll do some sort of activity
Maybe we'll go out DANCING?!!  Learn new things?!!  Go out to Eat (maybe even go to a buffet somewhere and just ENJOY)?!!  Do some Shopping Trips?!!  Want to explore around Costa Rica (AFFORDABLE trips)?!!  Local excursion?!!   Do a Visa Run?!! 
What have YOU always wanted to do but didn't have the courage to do it, didn't think you could do it - or didn't have anyone to do it with? 
(keeping things as affordable as we can for the group)
What's on YOUR BUCKET LIST??


At least 4 times a year we'll do a
CLOTHING SWAP • SALE • FLEA MARKET
and each gathering people can bring things to trade or sale (we'll create a page where you can announce it ahead of time - or whenever)
