GETTING HERE:…read more Located in DTSP on Main Street. Look for Hair Haven and Santa Paula Trading and you'll find it. REVIEW: Much needed update! The inside of the store has been remodeled and while it opens up the inside space for the products, it makes it feel very cramped inside. I don't know if this is a Goodwill thing or not, but IMO more product on the floor isn't necessarily better. I visited recently on a very busy weekend and while I didn't see any employees, the store was filled with customers. I searched for the book/CD section, and while it's still located in the very back, the product was even less than previous times. Color me sad. My friend just recently found a (hopefully) Tiffany (or least inspo) lamp in great condition for $12. If you spend some time, you can find some good deals. I would recommend stopping by this Goodwill if you're in the area, maybe eat at Rabalais and then stop in here. Good luck!

Most dresses were priced at $10.99 and lots of smaller sizes like Small and Medium. Lots of shoes but also in sizes 6-8. I do love the color coordination. This makes shopping for options a lot easier. There was hardly a jewelry selection and not much antiques, more modern house goods. You just never know what you'll find so I always recommend visiting because the treasure is in the hunt!

I would like to start by saying that I wish I had another huge event to plan just so we could have…read moreJoey as our DJ again. Everyone absolutely loved him! Throughout the night, guests kept coming up to us to tell us how amazing our DJ was--and we couldn't agree more. We felt that way from the very beginning of working with him. Our wedding was at the beautiful Eden Gardens, and Joey exceeded our expectations in every way. He had to set up in three different locations throughout the venue, arrived early, and had everything ready well before guests arrived. He checked in with our wedding party before the ceremony and our grand entrance to make sure everyone was queued up and everything ran smoothly. When our coordinator requested Certificates of Insurance (COIs) from all of our vendors, Joey was the very first to respond. One of Joey's biggest strengths is knowing exactly how to read and engage a crowd. He kept the energy up all night while making everything feel effortless. He spent hours with us beforehand going over every detail of our vision and also shared his professional recommendations to make sure everything flowed perfectly. With Joey, you're not just hiring someone to press play on a playlist--you're getting an experienced wedding DJ and MC who knows how to keep a wedding on schedule, keep guests entertained, and bring your ideas to life. We also had a projector with a slideshow of our photos. Since our venue was completely outdoors, it ended up being too bright to play during cocktail hour as we had originally planned. Joey immediately came to us with a solution. He suggested moving it to a different location and time, setting it up near the photo booth where guests were waiting in line. It worked out perfectly, and several guests commented on how much they enjoyed watching it while they waited. Throughout the entire evening, Joey checked in with us to make sure we were happy with how everything was going. He also has an easy-to-use planning app where couples can organize music selections for every part of the wedding, make requests, and leave notes about the timeline. Before the wedding, we met to review every detail together. I even told him he was the only DJ we interviewed who didn't simply ask us to send over a Spotify playlist and call it a day. He truly took the time to understand what we wanted and treated our wedding like the unique event it was. Joey was very patient with us through the whole planning process and we were so grateful that he can relate to how stressful the month leading up to the wedding can be. I can go on and on but bottom line is that we confidently recommend Joey to anyone who is getting married. You're getting more than a DJ with him.

Joey the DJ is the one you want with you on your big day, hands down. Seriously, stop your search,…read morebecause this guy is IT. Everything you want: fun, prepared, goes above & beyond, sincere, professional, ENERGETIC...it's all with Joey! Joey was the DJ for my sister's wedding last year, and he truly made the night! We had few issues with the DJ at our own wedding years back, so we are no stranger to the importance of a DJ that truly meshes with the group and is additive to the overall experience. For example, our own wedding DJ pronounced our NAME WRONG when announcing us "for the very first time!" That is the kind of nonsense you will never find at a Joey the DJ wedding, because Joey truly cares about his couples and their people. As the maid of honor, Joey spent a few moments with me before the reception to talk to me, ask what kind of music I liked, and chat about the couple. When it came time for him to announce me for my MOH speech, he had thoughtful and personal details to include, which I was so impressed by, since we had only just met. It made me feel more comfortable going up to speak, and I appreciated it so much. At a wedding, your DJ isn't just spinning tunes for the dance floor. They are also the emcee who will control the flow of the day. Joey wears this hat and performs his duties gracefully & seamlessly, helping transition large groups from ceremony to reception to dance floor with ease. I have gotten to see Joey work again at another wedding, and I can confirm that he brings the same fun, class, energy, and "anything for the couple" spirit to each event that he works. I've seen Joey help carry heavy bottles of wine, assist elderly folks walking on uneven ground, and even jump into the pool with the couple at the end of the night. He takes time to talk with the parents of the bride/groom before they speak, so he can put them at ease, and so he has a personal note to touch on when introducing them. The music will be a beautiful reflection of the diversity of the crowd, because Joey does his homework and asks in advance, and because he has a deep knowledge and love of all music. Joey is truly the dream DJ for any wedding. He is an embodiment of the vibrant energy plus experienced professionalism that you want behind you on your big day.

I had been in touch with Krista a few days before who came across as friendly & concerned about…read morefinding a good home as I was for the lab I was interested in adopting.As there is no cellphone connectivity in Wheeler Gorge I called a half an hour in advance to the facility to confirm my appointment.The phone was answered by the most disinterested & clueless employee who knew nothing about my appt but would "email" Krista.After that I called back miss Clueless & asked if there was anyone there that knew of my appointment because it was long drive.She then said Krista would meet me & she would "email" her.I went ahead to the facility when I recieved a voicemail from Krista stating that I had called several times & that we would discuss my "issues"when I arrived. I show up in my late model 20/20 custom Ranger truck I step out the vehicle and I see this official type woman start sizing me up and immediately without even saying hello stated, "I don't think you'd be a good fit", (for the dog I presume). Then she asked me what happened. I said I did not call several times like some psycho I'm just the schmuck trying to confirm an appointment and the secretary being the one with "issues" and attitude. She then asked me to fill out some paperwork.I asked to see the dog first and she refused going into this whole thing about that they have paperwork to fill out and files to keep and we're not just an open etc.etc. I then looked at her and said you know the sad thing is the dog is going to suffer which I meant by not finding a home. Well she just goes off yelling that the dogs not suffering! I said if I've got to deal with s*** like this I'm out of here,jumped in my truck & left. The official looking lady Krista just kinda stood there kind of stupefied. I was really prepared to give this dog a great home by the beach where I live as I have for all my dogs which have all been long-term and I have the references to back it up. All I can figure is I probably interrupted some chick who was probably more interested in doing her nails than answering the phones and badmouths customers to her enabling supervisors which is pretty common these days I guess.Oh well,good luck with that ladies.

One of our dogs was selected to join this program and we were pretty excited. At first, we had no…read moreidea what he'd be doing or anything about the facility or trainers. I don't think their website was even up yet, but idk for sure. Anyway, we got a call from one of the trainers and was able to come up and visit the facility which is located way out in the boonies north of Santa Paula. I just figured it a couple of old buildings or used trailers in the middle of nowhere with part time trainers. As we drove up into the driveway, I was dead wrong! It's got a beautiful entrance gate and welcoming feel to the place. It's a park-like setting with trees and some grassy areas, picnic tables, and lots of park park benches that are memorialized to dogs, trainers, firemen, and handlers. As we drove up to the main building we drove by a concrete rubble pile which simulated a collapsed building and ended up under a huge permanent open tent structure with a variety of agility structures ranging from beginning to advanced. They gave us a full on tour of the facility in progress and showed us all the training areas that were in the planning stages, construction stages and some ideas of things to come. There's a huge pile of pallets, the concrete pile already mentioned, several busted up trailers, the wilderness area and others to simulate real life scenarios that the dogs will be up against. Then there's the indoor training and care facilities - the kennels, the dog runs, the medical or maintenance building where the vets and caretakers watch and care over the dogs, trainer classrooms and so on. It was really a lot to take in considering what I was expecting. There's over 100 acres of land that can be used for a variety of purposes. I was just in awe and was happy to have a very small part of the organization - the donation of our dog. I'm not sure if the facility is open to the public, but I'd call and see if you can get a tour sometime. It's really an eye opener to what goes on in the training of these beautiful and very intelligent animals we sometimes hear of on TV.

They will also not discriminate against people with disabilities and try to match you with a cat/kitten. I really enjoyed my experience and highly recommend ASAP.

My daughter's party was absolutely LIT with DJ Snuppi at the helm. He brings such incredible, unique energy and truly knows how to make a party feel like the time of your life. Our family and friends packed the dance floor, and my daughter's friends had an absolute blast with the high-energy games and interactions DJ Snuppi led throughout the evening. Our phenomenal dancer, Sara, was back by special request for our second mitzvah, and she was amazing once again. Also, Lisa was an absolute dream to work with during the planning process -- professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely kind every step of the way. Everything ran seamlessly, from the LED dance floor to the montage presentation. We especially loved having my daughter's logo displayed on the screen throughout the event -- such a special touch that made the night feel so personalized. This team is truly the dream team. They know exactly how to create an unforgettable celebration, and we are so grateful to them for helping make my daughter's bat mitzvah such an incredible night. Highly, highly recommend!

We needed to coordinate 47 teams, each having their own custom music for the parade. Joe made sure we were all set up and organized ahead of time. He met me a couple weeks beforehand at the location to make sure he understood our needs and the problems we had in the past so we didn't repeat them. On the day of the event, Joe was there plenty early to make sure everything was set up perfectly. During the event, he made sure everything was perfect and made adjustments on the fly. Would absolutely hire Joe and Time of Your Life again for this event and hope he will be available for us next year!
