Agent Hires Jetski Stunt Guy to do Flips in a Pool for Marketing!

A seven-bedroom mansion listed for $4.9 million comes with all the usual high-end amenities expected in luxe estates - stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and hardwood and marble floors.

But it's the pool that is one of the greatest standouts of the Parkland home whose sale is being handled by Austin Bergman of the Carroll Group.

At 140,000 gallons, it includes a swim-up bar, Jacuzzi with waterfalls and fire features.

"It's the largest pool I've ever seen in a private residence," Bergman said. "When I first saw it I said to myself I need a jet ski in the pool, so I went on a hunt. I put Jet Ski in a pool into google and one stunt guy popped up named Mark Gomez, only one problem he lives in Arizona. I reached out to Gomez anyway to see if he had any ideas. He just so happened to be doing the Florida state fair and just so happen to have all his ski's with him."

I met Gomez and his sponsor Black Rifle Coffee at the home for the shoot, after numerous backflips, front flips and huge waves coming out of the pool we had what we needed.

Common backyard pool sizes are more in the 20,000-gallon to 39,600-gallon range.

Still, while 140,000 gallons is nothing to sneeze at, it's not the largest residential pool in the U.S. The Tampa Bay Times featured a 200,000-gallon pool in a story last year.

But the mother of all pools may live in El Campo, Texas.

According to Curbed.com, a mansion in El Campo boasts a "tropical getaway" that includes a 750,000-gallon pool with a 500-foot lazy river and six waterfalls.

To compare, an Olympic size swimming pool has about 660,250 gallons of water.

Bergman's listing at 7272 NW 62nd Terrace has 11,794 total square feet on 2.2 acres of land. Built in 1999, taxes last year came in at $37,759.

Victoria's Secret Reveals Camila Cabello as Newest Star of Bombshell Fragrance in Brand's First Ever Bilingual Campaign Victoria's Secret announced the newest Bombshell campaign highlighting the brand's best-selling fine fragrance with three-time Grammy Award-nominated, multi-platinum, and chart-topping singer/songwriter, Camila Cabello.

In the brand's first bilingual campaign, captured by photographer Zoey Grossman, Cabello showcases her individual Bombshell energy with a natural vibrancy and authenticity - a perfect embodiment of the fragrance's bold and confident scent. The campaign is about embracing who and what you are and furthers the brand's commitment to celebrating and uplifting all women by reinforcing that there's a Bombshell in everyone.

"For me, being a Bombshell is being exactly who you are and having the courage to celebrate who you are, every day. I'm excited to join Victoria's Secret in embracing the Bombshell in every woman," says Cabello.

"On set, Camila exuded a presence throughout the day that didn't need to be directed – her vibrance and confidence shined through organically. It was all about a celebration of her and her personality that brought this fragrance and campaign to life," says Raúl Martinez, Chief Creative Director at Victoria's Secret.

Bombshell is a timeless mix of fresh-cut Peonies and exotic fruits. Citrus notes and Brazilian purple passion fruit start the fragrance off with a bright sparkle. The heart of the fragrance blooms with the signature Shangri-la peony from Tibet and creamysweet Madagascan vanilla orchid, creating a fruity floral blend.

To further celebrate the Bombshell fragrance collection, Victoria's Secret is hosting "The Bombshell Gardens," an immersive and sensorial experience in New York City from Tuesday, May 3 – Monday, May 9. Located on the High Line, the pop-up will bring the fragrance to life via unique activations throughout the week such as fragrance bars, peony adorned installations, personalization stations, and the chance to meet Victoria's Secret's Bombshell perfumer, Adriana Medina.

Design masters Fanny Haim & Associates, Nick Luaces Design Associates and Interiors by Steven G will complete the extraordinary collection of Sky Homes starting in Spring 2022 Turnberry Ocean Club Residences, one of Miami's most sophisticated condominium projects in Sunny Isles developed by Jeffrey Soffer's Fontainebleau Development, announced their partnership with esteemed designers Fanny Haim & Associates, Nick Luaces Design Associates and Interiors by Steven G for three fully furnished and custom designed residences that will be unveiled throughout 2022. These collection residences start at $21.5 million (prices subject to change) "The Turnberry brand is a legacy that speaks to the best of everything in residential and hospitality. We know our buyers and see the importance of hand picking well-recognized, talented designers to design custom units versus cookie-cutter offerings that just wouldn't sit right with our elite buyer pool," said Jim Cohen, President of Residential at Fontainebleau Development.

Residence 5004 – The Sky Villa by Fanny Haim ($23,995,000) Two-Story Residence (Duplex) Total living area: 6,695 square feet 5 Bedrooms, 7.5 Bathrooms, Family Room, Den & Gym Massive outdoor terrace: 4,340 square feet In-residence features: Private hydrotherapy spa and a swimming pool with city and ocean views, double laundry rooms, service access points, his and hers bathrooms and an indoor garden.

Fanny Haim, an award-winning interior designer and architect is creating a two-story sanctuary made to feel like a mansion in the sky with 20-foot floor-to-ceiling glass walls that open out to an expansive terrace made for hosting and meditating. Standout design statements in the outdoor living space include sleek teak wood and lava stone flooring that exposes a hydrotherapy spa laid against a natural garden that is visible from the interior.

Residence 4803 – The Sky Residence by Nick Luaces ($21,500,000) Combined residence floor plan Total living area: 6,225 square feet 4 Bedrooms, 6.5 Bathrooms, Staff Quarters & Den In-residence features: sunset and sunrise terraces with views of the Atlantic and the Intracoastal with a combined outdoor space of 1,305 square feet.

Designed by the legendary Nick Luaces, this Sky Residence focuses on recreating the Turnberry brand's quiet elegance within its timeless design. The contemporary flow through layout is unlike any other residence on the property; developers combined two residences to create a massive open space without any columns in the floor plan that would obstruct views. Positioned high on the 48th level, privacy reigns supreme as there aren't any neighboring buildings visible at this altitude. The open floor plan is met with subtle floor-to-ceiling millwork that creates a sense of place for each space in the unit without compromising views or light, which was inspired by the all-glass tower's iconic lobby interiors.

What Is Red Light Therapy All About? The term “red light therapy” gets thrown around a lot within the weight loss and wellness community. And to most people, that may be a bit intimidating. It really shouldn’t be, though. Red light therapy is gaining popularity because of its excellent weight loss results. Fat loss and weight loss are just some of the effects of red light therapy. However, these sessions have also been documented to improve both aesthetics and health conditions in many patients.

Integrating red light therapy also known as phototherapy into your wellness plan not only gets you to your goal quicker, but it can also provide benefits that weren’t on your top priority list.

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of light to the body to increase blood flow and improve cellular performance and achieve therapeutic benefits that helps your body heal directly at the cellular level with no downtime and no pain. Light from the sun powers life on earth, and humans are no exception. We have billions of cells, and each one of them needs energy to do their job and keep our bodies in balance. We convert this energy from food every second and do so most efficiently in a vital process called cellular respiration. Red light therapy targets the cells directly and increases the blood flow to the cell. Inside every cell is something called the mitochondria, also known as the powerhouse of the cell. When the mitochondria is activated it will allow your body to purge any unnecessary toxins and unwanted fat and the mitochondria will stimulate the ATP production which is your energy. ATP function fuels everything your body does. The more ATP energy you make, the better you look, feel, heal and perform. When ATP is fully activated, your cells may start to repair damaged tissue and nerves that have been damaged by inflammation Red light is used to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, heal wounds, and rebuild cells and melt any unwanted fat.

The Jills Zeder Group Lists Waterfront Assemblage on Exclusive La Gorce Island in Miami Beach for $170 Million The Jills Zeder Group listed 18 la Gorce Circle a highly unique La Gorce Island estate, consisting of four adjacent waterfront properties encompassing 16, 18, 22, and 24 La Gorce Circle, for $170 million. Located on exclusive guard-gated La Gorce Island in Miami Beach, the estate consists of three individual homes, each with a private dock, and an additional parcel, featuring a magnificent park.

Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group, who are Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Ambassadors affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty, are representing the seller.

The fully-gated property, which faces southwest, provides expansive views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami and measures approximately 125,161 square feet (close to 3 acres) while offering approximately 600 feet of prime water frontage.

A two-story home, featuring five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half bathrooms, is located at 16 La Gorce Circle. 18 La Gorce Circle showcases a smaller home with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom, plus a guest house and wine cellar.

The crown jewel of the estate is an amazing private park, called "Domaine de la Paix et de l'Amour."

In addition, the serene park has beautifully designed landscaping with intricate coral stone walkways and stunning sunsets and views of the downtown skyline. La Gorce Island embodies what a perfect retreat should be: luxurious waterfront estates with pristine landscaping, expansive lots, private docks, and guard-gated 24-hour security. La Gorce Island is popular among A-list residents given the seclusion and tranquility the island offers. The community consists of about 60 luxury single-family homes and it is connected by a bridge to Miami Beach, where residents are at a short distance from Bal Harbour Shops to the north, Lincoln Road and South Beach to the south, and Design District to the west. Also in close proximity is the historic La Gorce Country Club, which was built in the late 1920s and recently renovated.

"This is a prized, trophy compound that many of the most discerning buyers have been waiting for years to come onto the market."

"Never before available on the market, this listing offers a unique opportunity to own a property of this magnitude, at a time when there is extremely limited supply of homes and land in Miami Beach,"

BLACK & WHITE TOUR

Global Franchise Magazine Names Global Tech-guru Mr Jeff "Best Lifestyle Franchise" of 2022 Renowned Laundry-tech Mobile App Franchise Recognized as an Innovator, Advancing the Cause of Global Franchising Mr. Jeff, a laundry franchise infused with cutting-edge AI technology, has globally modernized the tedious task of laundry in more than 30 countries. Through its proprietary mobile app, consumers can schedule on-demand laundry services to be picked up and dropped off at their door in a 48-hour window.

The Global Franchise Awards aim to celebrate the brands that are working hardest to advance the cause of international franchising. Judged by an esteemed panel of franchise experts and international association leaders, Global Franchise Magazine decides its winners guided by these values: Having truly global intentions, having a great relationship between franchisor and franchisee, having an innovative marketing and promotions plan, and having advanced the cause of international franchising.

"We're excited and honored to have been acknowledged as the 'Best Lifestyle Franchise,'" said Peter Stern, Managing Director, Mr Jeff USA. "This award speaks to the global desire for a fast, convenient and reliable laundry service to modernize the tedious task of doing laundry, and for the growing number of existing and aspiring entrepreneurs seeing significant potential with the Mr Jeff brand and industry."

Mr Jeff was founded in 2015 by three entrepreneurs in Spain, who wanted to make life easier for their community, just like the brand's namesake Geoffrey – the beloved, witty butler featured on the hit 90's sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The trio built Mr Jeff to bring the convenience of Amazon or Uber Eats to day-to-day services like laundry.

Due to its contactless pickup, delivery model, and a commitment to disinfection best-practices, Mr Jeff flourished in 2020 to 2021, while other laundry service providers were hard hit due to the Pandemic. Entrepreneurs opened 252 Mr Jeff locations internationally starting from March 2020 to March 2021, and the brand is entering the U.S. market with its first stand-alone location opening March 2022 in the Miami area.

"We saw a trend of 'covid-preneurs' seeking to control their own destinies through entrepreneurship across the globe," said Eloi Gomez, co-founder and CEO. "With Mr Jeff's introduction into the U.S., we expect further growth into high-densely populated markets by attracting ambitious entrepreneurs looking to leverage a simple business operation with a relevant, tech-based service that makes life easier for consumers."

Franchisees of Mr Jeff can take advantage of a turnkey business model with the tech and AI to support growth. From day one, franchise owners are provided with every essential needed to run and operate their own business. Starting with a comprehensive "Business in a Box," Mr Jeff provides franchisees with three proprietary tech products: The Jeff App – giving customers the ability to schedule on-demand services from the palm of their hands, The Jeff Suite – a unique business management software designed to cater to the needs of the business and support its growth with functions such as invoicing, P&L analysis, and a marketing assistant tool with automated recommendations, and The Jeff Driver App – connect to the Jeff Suite and Jeff App to manage all the pickup and delivery timings and routes.
