Monday’s Do Good Feel Good Live started off with Mixology Mixer CEO and Boss Lady, Loni Paige!
Loni Paige is originally from Long Island, New York. She always knew she wanted to be an event planner and started as a kids birthday party planner in high school. She moved to South Florida to go to FAU and went back and forth to the city. She has had many lives! She was an intern at Ocean Drive Magazine in its heyday, worked as a promotional model, worked in liquor sales, and eventually became a South Beach event director, working with all sorts of brands across different industries.
She got laid off six times and finally decided to open her own company. The Company she started is called Mixology Mixer, which is a unique virtual experience, offering virtual mixology, culinary, and team building experiences all in one. She once created a Frozen themed experience where the children had hot cocoa and the adults had spiked hot cocoa. Loni has become the freelancer for everyone, most of her business comes from companies that are not based in Florida and want to use her as their South Florida office or local event companies that do not need full-time staff or cannot afford her full time she is there and helps with their events.
In her spare time she loves to volunteer. If she could tomorrow she would try to move to Africa to help install water, save elephants and help women groups! She has learned that the industry is all about relationships and reputation. People ask her how she gets so much business and how she promotes and advertises. She finds herself in awe that it has all been word of mouth!
What sets her apart from the rest is that she answers her phone, emails, and responds immediately, and never says no. Loni defines success by knowing that she did a good job and people think to recommend her.
Thank you to Loni Paige for joining us on #DGFGLive for Craft Night!

Elected in 2013 to the City Commission, Micky brought her passionate teamwork approach to City Hall and has championed various initiatives, some of which include strengthening ethics ordinances, sustainability and resiliency efforts, human rights, finding solutions to alleviate everyday traffic congestion and supporting our local Miami Beach schools. She was subsequently re-elected unopposed in 2017.
Commissioner Steinberg has a long and impressive record of community involvement. Her strong commitment to our community included serving as a member of the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority Committee, the Miami Beach Police Citizens Relations Committee as well as ample involvement with various nonprofit organizations, such as the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Miami. Micky is also a lifetime member of Hadassah. As a result of her efforts to better our community, Micky has also been recognized as a Woman of Valor by the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center.
Commissioner Steinberg has participated on the County’s Tourism Development Committee and currently serves as the Chair of the City’s Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee.

Micky’s professional career started in the hospitality industry where she worked to enhance the experience of residents, and visitors by focusing on first-class customer service. After several years in the hospitality business, she shifted her career to real estate. As a licensed realtor, she applied her extensive knowledge of Miami Beach’s dynamic real estate market to work for her clients.
Micky’s fondest memories in Miami Beach include the time she spent with her loving grandmother, a long time Miami Beach resident, who played a central role in her upbringing. At an early age, Micky and her sisters were taught the values of hard work and determination by her parents. In July 2005, Micky married Richard Steinberg, a former State Representative and Miami Beach native whose family is also dedicated to public service. They are the proud parents of two amazing children.
