I had the honor of training with Mr. Syed Iftikhar (Mr. Safe) at CDL Safe Driving Academy, and I…read morecan confidently say he is the best CDL instructor out there. His teaching style is clear, patient, and practical--he focuses on real-world driving techniques that prepare you not only to pass the CDL exam but also to drive safely and professionally afterward. Mr. Safe is extremely accessible and easy-going, always making time for his students. He works tirelessly every day until 7pm to ensure no one is left behind. Beyond being a skilled instructor, he is a kindhearted, genuine gentleman who truly cares about the success of his students. His professionalism, encouragement, and deep knowledge of CDL requirements made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention also goes to his assistant Jimmy, who is a great man as well--always supportive, respectful, and ready to help students succeed. Together, they create a very welcoming and motivating environment. Because of their guidance, I passed the Virginia CDL exam and now hold my CDL license. I highly recommend CDL Safe Driving Academy to anyone serious about getting their CDL. If you want instructors who are patient, dedicated, and sincerely invested in your success, Mr. Safe and his team are the best!

Over the winter holiday, I discovered items from the vegan soap line on sale through Hallmark. Normally I'm kind of skeptical about vegan bath items, especially scented ones, because in the past the items I've tried from other companies were overpriced sizzle and no steak (pun!). However, these soaps were really attractive and offered fresh scents that would appeal to anybody (not only ladies). I bought a bar of Fresh & Clean for my husband's gift. He has both dry and sensitive skin, along with sensory issues, so buying something sight and scent unseen can be quite risky. Needn't have worried, as it turned out. He *loves* it. LOVES it. Doesn't dry him out further during this terrible winter weather. The bar itself is a decent size and easily grippable for showers or bathing, so it will last quite a while, and our bathroom smells incredible. All excellent reasons to purchase these products again. Oh, and he asked me to get more in the future, so that's all I needed to hear. Please never stop making this particular soap! I'll be trying the other products, too, so happiness all round.

I arrived 10…read moreminutes early and, as was the couple before me, was surprised to learn that I was on a waiting list and that I would have to wait for the next time they offered the seminar. The reason for my rating above is due to the dismissive attitude from Jim Birks when informing me and the couple ahead of me that we were "on the wait list" (aka not able to be seated). When I asked why we weren't informed prior to our arrival. Jim told me that they sent a notification through the mail. I expressed that I didn't receive their notification. Jim replied that they also sent an email. After returning home and checking my email inbox and spam folder, as expected, there was no email beyond the initial confirmation. While I receive, and ignore, many such invitations, the timing was good for me to learn of relevant changes to social security. Though, as their lack of communication didn't result in my learning anything from them about my social security options, In less than 3 minutes, I certainly learned that I would not want to work with Birks Financial.
