Getting it all set - New Calendar coming soon.

We have been building our brand new website and it is going very well. Busy and Crazy but very well. We hope that you will love all of the new information and love Tulum as much as we do.

One of our main purposes for this website was that we wanted to get out real life, first hand experience of the things around Tulum. We specifically want to draw attention to the many wonderful people that make Tulum what it is.

The calendar is our dream. We want to have 1 easy to view calendar that will tell you exactly what is going on during the dates that you are here. With so many great bands, artists and festivals - there is so much to write.

We will be updating the calendar weekly to keep it up to date. Many details and specifics get added at the very last minute in Tulum, so make sure to stay tuned in and see what is going on.

Please bare with us as we make all of these changes and adjustments. We know that you are going to love the new page- The calendar will be filled with information and , hopefully, the bands and musicians of TUlum will benefit.

Sorry for the disappearance! But we are back!

Well, as you can tell, it has been a long time since my last post. Things have been so amazingly crazy. Wonderful but insane. Posadas, house guests, camping, small Mayan villages, babies being born (in a hammock!!!) more on that later! and so many wonderful nights out in Tulum listening to the great music and talents of Tulum's best!

We have had a wonderful holiday enjoying friends and family, trips to the Sian Ka'an, visiting friends throughout the Yucatan, and living all that Tulum has to offer. We are sorry for not posting all of our adventures. We promise- so many great updates are coming. Enjoy!

This new year kicks off the 2011 music season! I love it. There are amazing performances, Djs bands and happy hours ALL OVER TULUM. Our resolution for 2011 is to bring you the most up to date and wide spread calendar of events in Tulum, Mexico, updated weekly!!!!!!

With so many wonderful shows going on- you will never again sit in your apartment or hotel room and wonder..."I wonder what is going on tonight?" simply go to http://www.tulumliving.com/ and see all of the classes, workshops, performances, Live music and DJ parties that Tulum has to offer.

If you want your events on the Tulum Living Events Calendar email us at TulumLiving@yahoo.com.

Stay tuned as we post more and more about all of the wonderful places in Tulum. A new decade has brought new energy!

See you in Tulum!

Amber Jewlery by Oscar***

Great jewelry can be found all over Tulum. People are selling in shops, on the avenue and up and down the beach. Every piece is different and reflects the artists that made it. I had the pleasure about a year and half ago becoming friends with 1 such artist.

Oscar Castell Blanch Tovilla is such an amazing artist and person. Before I even knew of his many talents, he struck me as a wonderful person. our kids are good friends and we have many mutual friends. I was lucky to get a lot of time to spend with this great guy. One day we were sitting at a friends house and I complimented him on his beautiful amber necklace that he was wearing. He replied- "thanks, I made it."

this particular piece of amber had a stunning carving and was threaded on a string of equally beautiful beads. It looked so amazing on him. Before moving to Tulum I had not seen such beautiful amber and now I see it all over. but very few pieces are as stunning as some of the ones that Oscar has. His son also has a beautiful necklace that looked so great on him. I really want to get one for my son.

Amber has been used in jewelry since the stone age. It is made of tree resin that has aged and hardened for millions of years. It's deep - well- amber color has made it a favorite for jewelry but! haha. Used in ancient Greece and throughout history for in medicines. Amber has many healing powers as well.



Oscar makes beautiful jewelry out of breathtaking pieces of Amber from Chiapas, Mexico. Some are smooth pebbles and others more raw. Many of the pieces hold natures treasures that have fossilized in the amber and others have been carved with breathtaking images of Mayan gods. In addition to the amber, Oscar uses prehistoric stones to accentuate these amazing pieces.



Perfect for adults and children, the healing and protective powers of these amber necklaces and stones are the perfect addition to any collection. I am getting one for my son for his birthday. It looks great on him and this powerful energy close to his heart is very good for him.



Oscar is a man of many talents. In addition to making beautiful jewelry- he is also a talented DJ. Known as DJ Rushcar, his beats can be heard in many locations around town. You can see where you can find him on the Tulum Living Events Calendar.



One project of Oscars that I am most excited to learn more about is Dos Palmas. This healing piece of land is where Oscar and his talented friends are creating a magical retreat location. This is a place where visitors can experience the culture and magic of this area. Highlighting the healing properties of mesoamerica utilizing massage, treatments, yoga, temezcals, and ceremonies, the experiences of Dos Palmas promises to be an unforgettable experience.



You can read more about this project very soon. I will report back with all of the details. You can check the calendar for times and dates of events and temezcals.

Tulum Living Calendar

Tulum Living Calendar!!!
Introducing the first total calendar of Tulum. I want all events and things going on around town. One of the biggest complaints for the visitors of our beautiful slice of heaven and for the locals that live here is that you cannot find out about things that happen. It is always… “Hey did you go last night to the….?” Followed by the … “ Ahhh – I did not know about it.”

My little Tulum Living project has really grown and changed very organically as I have lived here. As I have become increasing more involved with Todo Tulum and writing for them I have found the direction that I want to take with this page.

I want an events calendar of all of the things that going on around Tulum. I propose that people around town can let me know of things that are going on and I will build a comprehensive calendar of Tulum. Here is how it will work.

If you have an event that you would like on the calendar you need to send me the following information…
Event Name: _______________________________________________________________
Event Date: ______________________ Event Time: ______________________________
Event Location: ____________________________________________________________
Event Categories:
Live Music: _____ DJ Party: ________ Family Event: ________________
Performance/Culture: ________________ Happy Hour: ________________
Community Involvement: _________________ Class/ Seminar: ______________
** More categories will probably be added over time**
Any Contact information: ______________________________________________________

I will then put those on an interactive calendar on www.TulumLiving.com for the whole world to find out about.

You may place 1 event per week on the calendar for free. For those who want to post 5-12 events a month the charge is $125 pesos/month. For 13-21 events per month the charge is 180 ps/mo. We will also be selling ad space on Tulum Living. For information on our prices and ads, please email us for more information.

The other project that we are moving full force on is the Tulum Living School Project. This is where we are going to go to each public school here in Tulum and find out what their big “want” is. Each school has something- well, in fact many things that they need and want but that cost way too much to ever get bought. I am going to set up a wish item and a donation opportunity in order to make progress on these items. 100% of the money that is donated goes directly to the wanted item.

I am looking forward to launching the calendar on March 1 st. Please- if you would like your events on the calendar- please email us the above information.

Want to be on Tulum Living?

Are you interested in advertising with Tulum Living?

Put your events on Tulum Living Calendar.
We have an interactive calendar on our website. This calendar is accessible from the Tulum Living website as well as the http://www.todotulum.com/ website and will have promotional spots on other Tulum websites.

The calendar is interactive and categorized so visitors can easily find out the events that they want to attend.

Visitors can also add these events to their own calendars at the touch of a button.

It is my goal to create the first and only ALL TULUM- calendar of events so that visitors and locals can find out about all of the great events around town (before they happen)


Contracts are for 1 year and your events are updated throughout the year so that we reflect the current information. If you are interested in being on the calendar please email me at TulumLiving@yahoo.com.

The cost is only 4,000 pesos A YEAR!!!! That is less the 335 pesos a month. This is a great resource and we look forward to having the most up to date - detailed calendar in Tulum.

Advertising:
We will be selling ad space on the website as well. As it is pretty much the only resource of events in Tulum I imagine that we will get even more hits then we already do. Ad contracts are for 6 months. All ads must be link ready. We will be selling the following ad spaces:

Calendar sponsor:
The person or company that sponsors the monthly calendar will receive: 1800 ps/mo
A large banner ad on the calendar page with a “March Calendar sponsored by…” as well as all of their events listed on the calendar.


Standard banner ad: (200X50 pixels) 280 ps/mo
Standard banner double ad: (200X100) 350 ps/mo
Tower ad: (300 X 250 pixels) 425 ps/mo
Full banner ad: (690 X 90 pixels) 500 ps/mo

**** Exact pixel sizes may adjust slightly for aesthetics on the page****


This is only one of our 2 projects. The other project is the Tulum Living School project. We are helping to repair the public schools in Tulum while promoting recycling and recycling education. We have set up a donation opportunity so people can help sponsor these projects. You can read more about it on http://www.TulumSchools.blogspot.com/
