5 Easy Ways to Say “I Love You”
If gift-giving isn’t your strong suit, occasions like Valentine’s Day are likely to bring on stress and worry, but procrastinating will only serve to elevate your unease. Follow these steps to simplify your shopping, and while you may not come to love the task of finding the perfect gift, your loved one will undoubtedly appreciate your effort. Browse for ideas online. Many retailers offer special promotions and gift idea sections on their websites, so finding inspiration can be as easy as visiting the sites of your loved one’s favorite stores. There are also dozens of articles online to help get the ideas flowing. Searches such as “gifts for horse lovers” or “Valentine’s gifts for a new boyfriend” will reveal a long list of ideas to peruse. Keep it simple. Although the advertising industry works hard to convince consumers otherwise, Valentine’s Day isn’t really all about the bling. Sure, a pretty bauble is a welcome gift, but there are plenty of ways to show your affection that don’t require spending a month’s salary. A heartfelt card paired with a memento of a meaningful event or place in your relationship sends the same loving sentiment. Make it a (different) date. For many
couples, navigating the demands of work, kids and life make spending time together a luxury. Instead of fighting crowds at busy restaurants on the official date, celebrate your love on a day of your own choosing, when you can relax and enjoy the time together without the pressure to rush through dessert so your table can be flipped for the next waiting couple. Give blooms a boost. A dozen long-stem red roses is a beautiful gesture, but unless your intended rose receiver is a strictly traditional type, try adding a little spice to your floral arrangement. Go for a bouquet in her favorite color, or have the flowers arranged in a practical vessel she can reuse to remember the occasion, such as a cocktail shaker or a watering can. Go ahead, gift yourself. It may seem counter-intuitive, but finding a gift you’ll enjoy may inspire an idea for your loved one. The trick is finding something you can share together, whether it’s tickets to a show or his and hers mugs for enjoying your favorite brew. Just be sure the item is something your intended will share your enthusiasm for, or you may as well go buy a blender. Find more ideas to simplify every occasion at eLivingToday.com.

TAX PLANNING STRATEGIES FOR 2016 FROM KIM COYLE CPA
Dear Client; As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2016. My goal is for you to leverage your tax deductions and credit to the fullest extent. I want to briefly discuss five different strategies that can be powerful tools in lowering your tax bill. And the really great part is that each of these strategies is easy to understand and implement. Here are the strategies: 1. Prepay Expenses The IRS allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance (through December 2017) without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS. For a cash-basis taxpayer, qualifying expenses include lease payment on business vehicles, rent payments on offices and machinery, and business and malpractice insurance premiums. This is a great way to pump up your 2016 deductions with expenses you will eventually pay anyway. 2. Stop Billing Customers and Patients An easy strategy for reducing your taxable income for this year is to stop billing your customers until December 31, 2016. Customers, patients, and insurance companies generally don’t pay until billed. Not billing customers and patients is a time-tested tax planning strategy that business owner have used successfully for years. 3. Buy Office Equipment With Section 179, you can write off up to $500,000 of office equipment in 2016. Qualifying Section 179 purchases include new and used personal property such as equipment, computers, desks, chairs, and certain qualifying vehicles. To qualify for Section 179, you need to both buy the items and put them in business service on or before midnight December 31, 2016. 4. Use Your Credit Cards If you are a sole proprietor, the day you charge a purchase to your business or personal credit card is the day the expense is deductible, Therefore, as a proprietor, consider using your credit cards to buy office supplies and other business necessities. If you operate your business as a corporation, and if the corporation has a credit card in the corporate name, the same rule applies: the date of charge is the date of deduction for the corporation. But if you operate your business as a corporation and you are the personal owner of the credit card, the corporation must reimburse you if you want the corporation to realize the tax deduction, and that happens on the date of reimbursement. Thus, submit your expense report and have your corporation make its reimbursements to you before midnight on December 31. 5. Don’t Assume You Are Taking Too Many Deductions Make sure your record all of your rightful deductions for 2016, because if your business deductions exceed your business income, you have a tax loss for the year. After a few modifications to the loss, tax law calls this a “net operating loss,” or an NOL. The good news is that tax law allows you to carry back the NOL for two years and get instant refunds from taxes previously paid. If, after going back for two years, you still have unused losses, you can carry them forward for up to 20 years. In other words, you have a 22-year window during which you can realize the benefits of your deductions. So always document your expenses in order to get your rightful deductions. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

local Equestrian Team Wins Thirty Ribbons at Oaks Competition ESI Stables Student Riders from Santa Margarita and Tesoro High Schools Gain Strides at 2017 Event By Karean L. Chapman Photos by John T. Chapman After a rain filled couple of weeks, with all odds against them, the sun appeared just in time for the (Orange County Interscholastic Equestrian League)3rd and 4th horse show weekend at The Oaks Blenheim show park. With little training working up to the show, due to bad weather, up and coming ESI’s Interscholastic Equestrian Team made strides as they worked their way up the show circuit. The league shows consist of several equestrian disciplines such as Hunter/Jumpers, Jumpers, Dressage, Gymkhana, and Western. Within each discipline there are several classes and divisions; freshman, novice, junior varsity, and varsity, each building in complexity and skill level. Competitors compete for their schools, as well as, their equestrian training facilities. Local student riders compete for several schools in Orange County. This year’s competitors are from Santa Margarita Catholic High School and Tesoro High School. The Orange County Interscholastic Equestrian League attracts public and private school student equestrians, K through 12th grade. Together they compete and promote their sport as an Interscholastic team activity. Starting out the day, grand prix trainer, and owner of ESI training stables, Katie Kelly, assistant trainer Colleen Ruscher, and up and coming OCIEL riding students to be, Amber, Audrey, and Regan supported their fellow competitors by cheering them on, and pitching in eagerly, to get all the horses and riders ready to show. First up was Darby Villareal, a sophomore at Santa Margarita Catholic High School, riding a beautiful pinto American warmblood named, Everlasting Touch Evie. The pair completed events in the junior varsity Hunter/Jumper classes winning 8 ribbons, placing 3rd in U/S Hunters. Teammate Cara Adams, a freshman of Santa Margarita Catholic High School, riding her bay, off the track thoroughbred, Desert Gem, won 9 ribbons, taking 2nd place in the freshman U/S Hunters division. Next up was Helena Champion, sophomore at Santa Margarita Catholic High School, soaring to new heights with her chestnut mount, off the racetrack thoroughbred, Can’t Catch Cole, bringing in 8 ribbons and a 1st place, blue ribbon win in the junior varsity Jumpers Speed Class. Following on in the junior varsity Jumpers class was Mikayla Chapman, senior at Tesoro High School, flying over the jumps on her dun, Irish Connemara pony, Lookout Volvic

Winning the blue ribbon in the junior varsity jumpers classic, helped secure Mikayla’s overall Reserve Champion win on both days. Shayna Chapman, junior at Santa Margarita Catholic High School, sat confidently atop her pinto Dutch warmblood, Maestro Van Erpekom, as the pair acquired 4 ribbons together in their Dressage Tests A, B, and C. Katie Kelly of ESI Training Stables, Santa Margarita Catholic High School, and Tesoro High School were proud of the accomplishments their students achieved through bringing in a total of 30 ribbons.

ESI trains riders, rehabilitates off-the-track ex racehorses, giving them new hope, new jobs, training, attention, care and much deserved love. Katie Kelly states, “My kids learn what it’s like to be true horsemen from the ground up.” ESI students learn how to groom, tack, care for and ride, not only their own horses, but all the horses in Katie’s program. This kind of enrichment is a rarity in the equestrian world today. The parents add, “We love the community that Katie has built from Mikayla Chapman on Lookout Volvic Rocket - Jumpers the kids to the adults, it is one big Recent and exciting news for ESI family!” Cara’s mom, Annie Adams played outdoors without the worries expressed, “Cara is learning what it of today’s demanding world.

Shopping Guide for Red-Hot Valentine’s Day Dresses By Stephanie Haddad Tired of wearing the same old black dress every time you’ve got a hot date? This Valentine’s Day, you could be sizzling in a hot red dress instead. With the “little red dress” taking Hollywood (and everywhere else) by storm, there’s no time like a holiday dedicated to love to pick one up for yourself. How to Choose Your Little Red Dress Buying a dress, no matter what the color, does not have to be a difficult process. Know your body type, what flatters your shape, and have an idea what you’re looking for before you shop. Here’s some basic guidelines for common body types: Heavy body types should shop for a dress that creates symmetry in the body (either minimizing the top half or bottom half for balance). For a minimizing top, look for a scoop or v-neck design and some simple flare or draping on the bottom. Pear-shaped body types will benefit from a dress with some detail work on the top half and an a-line silhouette. Ellen Tracy makes a great dress in cherry red that is figure flattering. Hourglass shapes should be the easiest to dress and can wear nearly
any style. But if you choose to even out the curves, shop for a dress that doesn’t accentuate the waistline, like a sheath dress. Rectangular body shapes need a dress that adds some curvature, like a belted or cinched-waist dress. Wrap dresses, halters, and sheaths are also good at feminizing a boyish figure. Have some fun with a chic red wrap dress by TravelSmith or a printed floral in red by Diane von Furstenberg. Red-Hot Shopping Options There are a lot of options out there for anyone in the dress shopping market. Red dresses, as well, abound. Nearly every major brand name has a red dress, some in multiple designs, patterns, materials, and styles. To find the best choice for you, have your specifics in mind and start searching! Some of the hottest trends in dresses right now include unique necklines, lace and sheers, mixed fabrics, one-shoulder, wraps, and (still) maxi dresses. Have some fun with something sexy and smoldering or chic and elegant, the choice is yours. As long as it’s red, you’ll be catching eyes wherever you go!

With all the time off, the holiday season is a great time to earn sweat equity on your home. Here are 3 easy projects anyone can do to increase the value of their home.
1. FIX THE SIMPLE THINGS
There are many common things around the house like hinges, wheels on doors, light bulbs, electrical switches, running toilets, and even faucets that are relatively simple items to address. There are many helpful people at your local hardware store that will happily help you figure out how to solve these issues. Your home will attract a higher price if there is less to fix.
2. CREATE A FRESH OUTDOOR SPACE
The outdoor spaces are very important to many buyers. There are many simple things you can do around the yard including planting fresh flowers, cleaning overgrown areas, trimming trees, power washing patios, and cleaning outdoor appliances that can really increase the appeal of your property by making the outdoor space feel fresh.
3. PAINTING IN STYLE
You’ve seen all the home improvement shows and the house flipping shows. What’s the one thing that always gets the most bang for the buck? Interior paint of course. I would love to help you choose paint colors that are most popular with buyers in the current market. Painting is easy and can even be fun. Almost anyone can do it!
