The new Fields Motorcars Orlando also features the “Hangar,” Florida’s largest exotic only pre-owned car collection housed indoors. “Our customers enjoy being able to browse the incredible selection of Certified Pre-Owned and other makes of pre-owned vehicles while enjoying the comfort of our amenities in an air-conditioned ‘Hangar,’” said Joseph Wierda, General Manager, Field Motorcars Orlando. “New products from each of these 3 brands over the next year will bring significant growth,” said Mr. Wierda. “Fields Motorcars Orlando will be the only single dealer in Florida with the new ultra-luxury SUVs from Rolls-Royce, the “Cullinan,” Bentley, the “Bentayga,” and Lamborghini, the “Urus.” Each of the brands’ showrooms offer a lounge with samples of paint, leather, and trim to help customers build their dream car--Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini and Bentley.

DESIGN TRENDS Frameless Polaroids are back and they’re coming after your picture frames. This trend is not something you would consider as a home interior idea, however, we are seeing this trend go all around social media as a great way to feature pictures of your family and friends on your walls. This 90s trend can become your family’s project that will require a lot of bonding and fun! You can easily tape the films to your wall in an organized pattern, or for an easy DIY, you can hang your polaroid films onto a string that can be hung across your wall for an interesting look to your home interior.

What’s monochrome? No more struggling through many different color swatches and patterns for your home interior. Best way to have a stylish, timeless and sophisticated look is doing a monochromatic theme. What is a monochrome theme, you may ask? A monochrome theme is based on a single color, tone or hue. Limiting the color palette reflects a cohesive look to your room and is a great inexpensive way to experiment and find different patterns, textures and furniture that will play into your theme. Some monochromatic themes that are trendy and easy to achieve are black, gray and white. These beautiful colors are the easiest way to create that monochromatic look you’re looking to achieve.

Some great ways to incorporate gold are including a gold small stool chair, coasters or picture frames to any room. Adding a few of these items as an accent will give your home interior that instagram-worthy look. This will give your room an interesting and classy look without having to change any other furniture in your room. Gold can be paired with a cream color, black or gray.

TAME THOSE BROWS!
The biggest eyebrow mistake you need to stop making! Ladies, we know that the brow game has
been alive and well these past years (still is!). The fuller the brow, the better! It has been a huge trend to have “fierce” big brows, which yes, that is better than having just a line as a brow like how it used to be. But having huge hairy brows doesn’t compliment everyone’s face shape or overall look. It can look messy and give off the vibe that you don’t care about your appearance. Now, we understand that everyone has their preferences. Some like a thinner brow, and some like a thicker brow, but it’s just how you manicure them that makes all the difference. Now here are some mistakes that are commonly made when filling the brows. 1. Choosing the wrong color
A lot of people often choose a color too dark for their brows. If your brows are already dark, chose one to two shades lighter to help define your shape without them being too overpowering.
2. Misplacing your arch
Our brows have a natural arch. It is important to use your best judgement to not draw on too much of an arch. Accentuating your arch is fine to make it more defined, but avoid over-arching! 3. The wrong brow for your face shape
For brows, it’s not one brow fits all. Depending on your face shape, there will be a brow just for you. There are many online articles with brow guides that can help you find the right brow shape for your face. 4. Making them look too perfect
Brows aren’t alike; they’re not twins, they’re sisters. And with that being said, when lining your brows, try to avoid making them look too drawn-on, too perfect. Although they do look nice, they just don’t look natural. When doing this, try to make natural, hair-like strokes using a small brush to brush out the product evenly and to give you the strokes you’re trying to get.

to begin releasing growth factors that will help stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. The entire PRP hair therapy process is precise, with injections across the scalp, into the peaks (if necessary) and over the area of thinning hair, but the entire treatment only takes about thirty to forty-five minutes. At Spa Blue, we prefer to also perform micro needling along with PRP Hair Therapy. A micro needling pen is used to create tiny holes on the scalp. These micro injuries to the scalp promote the skin’s repair process by naturally boosting collagen and elastin, creating the right environment for your own hair to regrow. The micro channels created by the injuries support the fast absorption of the injected Platelet Rich Plasma. The injuries cause the platelets to release growth factors at the injury site and stimulate inactive hair follicles to begin the production of new hair, in areas that were dormant.
LUSCIOUS LOCKS Regrow Your Hair With the Power of PRP By Janet Beres, PA-C & owner of Spa Blue
With PRP Hair Therapy, there is no downtime. He or she can go back to their normal routine immediately post procedure. As far as results, female patients will start experiencing regrowth as early as six weeks and most men patients typically have the best results at month six. Patients can get a package of treatments, once a month, for three months, or even just one treatment once a year to maintain. We always recommend a consult prior to the treatment that way we can customize a treatment plan for each patient’s specific needs and goals. Janet Beres, PA-C and owner of Spa Blue is a Certified PRP Provider and has an advanced background in dermatology, cosmetic procedures, and hair transplant surgery. She has over 18 years of experience and strives to stay informed of the latest anti-aging procedures and cosmeceuticals for patients to achieve the most superior and natural results.

By now you may be familiar with or have heard about the “vampire facial” an allnatural treatment that uses your own blood to help rejuvenate the skin. What you probably don’t know is that there is a similar treatment that also uses your own blood and can restore hair loss. This treatment is called Platelet Rich Plasma Hair Therapy. Our blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Plasma is the part of the blood which carries blood cells and nutrients throughout the body. Platelets are tiny cells in the blood which speed to the injury, to form a clot and repair the damage. Platelets are known as the powerhouses of growth factors that stimulate tissue recovery by increasing blood flow. They are also responsible for stimulating and enhancing hair follicle function. Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma is what is injected directly into the scalp. This concentrated PRP is purely platelets from which red and white blood cells are removed.
Before
After 6 Months 1 Treatment
The PRP hair process begins with the application of a topical numbing cream around the scalp to keep the patient comfortable during the treatment. The patient’s own blood is then drawn, and then placed in a centrifuge for about ten minutes. The centrifuge spins the blood at a fast pace to separate the lighter plasma from the rest of the blood. The isolated platelet rich plasma is stimulated Janet Beres, PA-C

GROOMING
4 HABITS OF IMPECCABLY GROOMED MEN The trick isn’t to spend a a bunch of money on a thousand different products, or to lock yourself in the bathroom for hours. Rather, you should develop a daily routine that is quick and simple. • Become a regular at your barbers - Don’t wait till your hair gets too long to get your hair cut. Basically, if you’ve noticed your hair needs a cut, other people have too. This includes facial hair too. • Find your signature scent Aftershave shouldn’t be loud or obvious. It should be a subtle part of your overall presence. Rather than owning 8-10 average quality bottles, find one or two classic scents you really like and invest in them. •Invest in some facial creams This includes lotion, a cream for dark circles, and wearing sunscreen. If you can do all three, great! But it is important to have a lively face. •Having clean feet They might not be on show that often, but a good footcare routine is still important. You don’t want to disgust others by your feet.

HALITO- WHAT?
How to know you have halitosis, and how to stop it! If your friend constantly gives you the famous “your breath stank look” or randomly offers you a piece of gum, then I’m sorry to tell you, my friend, but you might have a serious case of bad breath. Halitosis is something you probably don’t hear that often, and to be quite honest, when I first heard of it, I was like, what? Halito-what? So don’t worry if you have never heard of it. Now, what exactly is halitosis? Halitosis, well-known as “bad breath” or “stank breath”, is a symptom that causes your breath to have an unpleasant scent, a scent that you just can’t simply fix with mouthwash or a mint. Many people think that having a bad breath is just the result of not having properly brushing your teeth, however, there are many other symptoms that can cause you to have bad breath. Having halitosis can be treated and fixed depending on how serious your situation is. Now how’s your diet? When thinking about bad breath, you wouldn’t generally associate it to your overall diet, right? What you eat is one of the many reasons your mouth may smell like literal hell. It can create many different problems with your oral hygiene and with your body itself. Eating foods such as cheese, meat and foods that
are unhealthy can be one one of those reasons. Some ways you can fix it is by eating fruits and vegetables. This will slowly stop that pungent smell from occurring and will eventually make it easier for you to always have clean-smelling breath. Another cause is water. We wouldn’t think water to be one of the cause but, it is. Having a dry mouth can cause your breath to smell unpleasant. Simply drinking water throughout the day can save you from an embarrassing interaction with your friends and will slowly but surely get your breath smelling clean. One of the other main causes is not going to your dentist as often. Having two cleanings per year can go a long way. Flossing just sometimes is not enough and can’t get rid of the bacterias that lay deep between your gums. By going to your dentist, they will remove those bacterias that are causing your breath to stink and will make your oral hygiene process easier. The dentist will also check on any other things that may be causing the horrible smell. Fixing a few of these issues will deteriorate the bad smell from coming back into your life and will definitely stop people making the notorious “stank face” at you.

UP CLOSE WITH RHINOS
Animal kingdom offers a unique backstage experience. As the second largest-land animal on Earth, they are a massive sight to behold. And thanks to Disney, you’ll be able to experience the rhino in a whole new way. Starting Nov. 1 Animal Kingdom will feature an “Up Close With Rhinos” tour, where guests can get a closer look at and even touch some of the park’s rescued white rhinos. The rhinos, which can be seen from the Kilimanjaro Safari ride, are part of Disney’s effort to support rhino conservation. The “Up Close With Rhinos” tour will be offered once every day at $40 per guest. It’s a 60-minute guided adventure that will give guests a behind-
the-scenes look at how the dedicated animal team cares for the rhinos. Disney hopes it will inspire the guests to aid in their conservation, and is proud to support rhino conservation efforts around the world, including those of Sumatran rhinos, which are found only in Indonesia and are critically endangered. To date, the Disney Conservation Fund has provided more than $2 million to support rhino conservation efforts around the world. More info at www.disneyparks.disney.go.com

2019 AVENTADOR SVJ COUPÉ The future is unknown. It is a journey, an adventure. And above all, it is a challenge. Lamborghini has never shied away from challenges, which is precisely why it created the new Aventador SVJ Coupé. To combine cutting-edge technology with extraordinary design, without ever coming to compromises. In a future driven by technology, it’s easy to lose track of emotions. But in the future they are shaping, real emotions won’t be left behind. Because at the wheel, there will always be a person. Aventador SVJ Coupé. Real emotions shape the future. The Lamborghini driving experience isn’t easy to put into words: a stupefying mix of exceptional performance, groundbreaking technology and perfect aerodynamics.
Yet there is one more element that is utterly indispensable for the future they envision: real emotions. The vehicle’s impeccable dynamics and the outstanding performance of the new 770 CV naturally-aspirated V12 engine combine with the mastery of a superior design, in which prized and exclusive materials forge a symbiosis with the car’s ultralightweight body. Because the future they have in mind can only exist when uncompromising aesthetic perfection meets unparalleled performance and thrill-inducing aerodynamics.
Enhanced aerodynamic profiles, a fully redesigned front, larger side skirts, the omega-shaped rear wing and lighter, higher exhaust outlets are implanted into the featherlight carbon fiber chassis, which is equipped with wiselydistributed air intakes that are both different and larger than on any previous model. Lightness and performance in constant pursuit of each other. With its unique color and trim, the SVJ 63 special edition emphasizes the abundance of carbon fiber in the design. This limited edition of only 63 vehicles was produced to mark Lamborghini’s founding year of 1963.
Ultra-light materials conceived for maximum performance give rise to breathtaking design: that’s what makes the new Aventador SVJ Coupé unique and unrivaled.

After an electrifying career that reinvented the musical landscape with unforgettable songs and show-stopping performances, Elton John has established himself as an incomparable voice that has forever carved some of the most memorable lyrics into the hearts of music lovers for the past five decades and for generations to come. Now, at the age of 71, the pop royalty legend has embarked on his final adieu to his global audiences, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
Although from the U.K., John showed his global appeal through his variety of locally inspired genres—from song to song, John hints at southern blues and gospel, urban R&B and boogie-woogie, and the wild wonder of country western tunes with lyrics longing for the freedom of an open road and a melody yearning to travel coast to coast. As over the top as John tended to be, his heart remained purely simple in his quest to fashion songs for the hopes, dreams, and heartaches of humanity.
John has painted new and visionary colors into sound for over half a century, and his creative achievements have captivated fans all over the world and encouraged musicians of every age to imagine bright and brilliant futures full of limitless dreams.
But of course, like everything John does, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour is anything but a simple goodbye. In his signature style, John has crafted an extraordinarily grand, elaborate, and colorful show that is said to surpass any arena concert he has ever performed. John has fashioned a glitzy and glamorous, high-tech production that will highlight the beauty of all of his fan favorites from the past with even more vibrant flair than before.
John has challenged the norms and pushed the boundaries as one of the most ornately iconic acts in history, but his true gift to the world has always been the pure beauty of his song. Even without the frills of his usual exciting wardrobe and eccentric taste, as just a man and his piano, John has touched the world as an unparalleled songwriter, crafting music and lyrics to express every emotion on the human spectrum.
decades to my final tour…It’s time to come off the road so I can fully embrace the next important chapter of my life.” You’ll want to be sure to secure your tickets to this highly-anticipated, once-in-a-lifetime event, as this will be your very last chance to witness Elton John classics performed by the man himself. This bittersweet truth will be evident in every moment of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour as John spends ample time on each one of the hits that defined moments and memories throughout the years. From upbeat jukebox favorites like “Crocodile Rock” and “Bennie and the Jets” to the sweetly somber sentiments of “Tiny Dancer” and “Your Song,” John will fill you with wondrous reminders of what these songs have meant to you over the ages, as you bid farewell to the yellow brick road and the man who brought it to life.
“Performing live fuels me, and I’m ecstatic and humbled to continue to play to audiences across the globe,” John said in an official statement on his website. “I plan to bring the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for

Mayors Announces Major Brand Relaunch. The Iconic Brand Reinvigorates to Become the Number One Destination for Jewelry and Luxury Timepieces MAYORS, the leading retailer of fine jewelry and timepieces in the Southeastern United States, announces a 360-relaunch following the acquisition by The Watches of Switzerland Group (formerly Aurum Holdings) in 2017. With 108 years of heritage in luxury jewelry and timepieces, MAYORS is now aiming to capture a broader audience by offering an integrated retail experience combined with a contemporary, fresh identity. Recognizing the importance of incorporating the younger generation in the relaunch, MAYORS intends to educate millennials on the heritage and expertise that embodies the DNA of the brand. The focus on refreshing the brand’s image would allow for an increase in relevancy amongst younger consumers as well as the growing number of self-sufficient female buyers. This reaffirms that MAYORS is aware of the shifting market and its course to become an integral part of the conversation amongst multi-brand retailers that successfully adapt to the laws of new luxury. The relaunch will roll out officially over the course of eight months in two stages. The
first takes place this Fall that will include the launch of the brand’s latest ad campaign, improved digital experience, an updated logo, website redesign, and new packaging. Additionally, this stage will involve the redesign of the facades in nine out of 16 stores. MAYORS will also be introducing all new jewelry collections featuring bridal, diamonds, and high-end jewelry, as well as expanding the bespoke design service, enhancing in-store presentation, and launching a new leading edge website (www.MAYORS.com) which will feature a full catalogue of jewelry and timepiece collections available in stores. Additionally, MAYORS will be bringing together all of their customer support experiences under one umbrella which includes the servicing and repairs of luxury watches and jewelry, and exchanging of pre-owned watches. In Spring 2019, stage two will take place in which the remaining stores will undergo full renovations with the addition of two new flagship stores to the portfolio. The jewelry presentation displays will also experience significant upgrades to align with all the
relaunch efforts. In the coming years, MAYORS sees itself as a multi-brand retailer that will offer its customers a full-service experience, both digitally and in the retail space. With today’s audience evolving so quickly in the digital atmosphere, MAYORS’ relaunch is an opportunity for advancement and aptness in order to compete with its competitors in the luxury market. “MAYORS has a wonderful heritage story and reputation in the local community, and we are excited to evolve with a new visual identity, contemporary collections, and a strong digital presence, while staying true to who we are,” said Brian Duffy, CEO of Watches of Switzerland Group. “We are a brand that has offered an incomparable selection of jewelry and timepieces along with first-class service for over a century, and we look forward to welcoming a new generation of customers into the MAYORS world.

CELEBRITY SOUP
CELEBRITY
By Riesa Pascal
HERBIVORES Russell Brand Comedian Russell Brand is a longtime vegetarian, having given up meat at 14 years old because “you shouldn’t eat animals, it’s mean to them.” In 2011, Russell was crowned PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity and he often boast about that fact that nothing could ever get him to eat meat. Even when he was addicted to heroin, Russell stayed true to a vegetarian diet. Is that commitment or what?! Alicia Silverstone In an interview with Oprah, Alicia Silverstone spoke of her vegan lifestyle saying, “I just took a look at my dog and said, ‘If I’m not willing to eat you, how can I continue to eat these other creatures that have the same desire to live, are just as funny, just as cute as my dogs?’” Since becoming fully vegan in 1998 at 21 years old, the Clueless actress has been a prominent vegan activist and even authored two books encouraging a plant-based diet. Miley Cyrus In 2015, Miley Cyrus was named PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity after revealing she had recently become vegan. A number of factors went into her making the dietary decision with one being the ownership of a pet pig and a “highly intelligent” pet fish. Today she continues to be committed to her meat-free lifestyle even going so far as to say, “I’d eat dirt before an animal.” Liam Hemsworth It’s much easier to commit to a meat-free lifestyle when you have a partner who’s willing to run the race alongside you! In the case of Miley Cyrus, her fiancé Liam Hemsworth is equally against the mistreatment of animals and also held the title of PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity. He spoke of his vegetarian lifestyle in an interview with Men’s Fitness saying “After all the information I gathered…I couldn’t continue
to eat meat. The more I was aware of, the harder and harder it was to do.” Kristen Bell As a child, Kristen Bell had a hard time disassociating the animals she cuddled with from the animals on her plate. She also never really cared for the taste of meat and was a big lover of fruits and vegetables. All this led to Kristin becoming a vegetarian at just 11 years old. In 2012, she went full vegan after watching the documentary “Forks Over Knives” and today she continues to be a animal activist and conscientious eater. Much like the other celebs in this list, Kristen was crowned PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity in 2006 alongside the latesinger Prince. Sarah Silverman Comedian Sarah Silverman has been having turkey-free Thanksgivings since she was 10 years old which is when she found out what actually happened to her Thanksgiving dinner before it got to her plate! She told the story in an interview with Marie Claire saying, “My dad took me over to a neighboring farm to help get stuff for the meal. The farmer, Vic, told me to look at all the turkeys and pick one out. I saw a cute one with a silly walk and cried, ‘Him!’ Before my pointing finger had even dropped to my side, Vic had grabbed the turkey by the neck and slit [the animal’s] throat. Blood and feathers went flying. I had sentenced that turkey to death! Up until then, I didn’t know where meat came from — and I’ve been a vegetarian ever since.” Jared Leto Actor and musician Jared Leto is widely known for his looks and youthful appearance which he attributes to “20 solid years of eating vegetarian/ vegan and taking care of myself.” In 2014, Jared was named PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian and today he continues to stay devoted to his longstanding plant-based diet. Jared spoke of his attempts to go fully vegan saying, “I’m actually
a cheagan, a cheating vegan. I don’t eat meat ever. But if someone’s mom made a cookie and handed it to me, I’d probably take a bite, or if I’m in Alaska and there’s wild salmon out of the river, I’d probably eat it.” Shania Twain Country superstar Shania Twain would agree with Jared’s anti-aging secret as she also credits a leafy vegetarian diet for her youthfulness appearance! Unlike many other vegetarian/ vegan activist, Shania is a big believer in not preaching vegetarianism. Though her decision to be a vegetarian was the right choice for her, she believes in encouraging people that their eating habits have to be right for them emotionally, spiritually and physically whether vegetarian or not. Kate Winslet Though actress Kate Winslet has only been vegetarian in her adult life, she’s been faithful to her decision and shows no signs of returning to her old lifestyle. Much like Miley and Liam, it also helps that her husband is a committed vegan! Kate spoke about her fully plant-based household saying, “Our fridge is always full of spinach, kale, cucumbers. I’m vegetarian and my husband is vegan, so there’s a lot of plantbased focus in our home.” Tobey Maguire Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire has been vegetarian since 1992 and full vegan since 2009. In 2002, Tobey was bestowed the honor of being named PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity alongside actress Natalie Portman. Some reports suggest Tobey is so strict on his animal cruelty stance that he doesn’t even allow leather in his house! If you’re a guest with any type of leather clothing on you, be prepared to be asked to remove it before coming through his front door.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW
PERJURY ALWAYS INVOLVES LYING BUT LYING IS NOT ALWAYS PERJURY The recent Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh are but the latest example of claims of perjury and lying that seem to plague our government officials and politicians. While the term perjury and lying are often used together, there are significant differences between the two. Lying is the simple act of making a false statement knowing it to be false. Through life’s experiences, people often are confronted by those who lie about small things on occasion and those who lie about important things with regularity. While lying may cause a person to be distrusted in a social or business setting, it is not a crime unless the lie violates a state or federal law. The United States government has numerous laws concerning lying. Two of the most common involve perjury in court proceedings and false statements to government officials. The perjury statute is found in Title 18 United States Code (U.S.C.) section 1621. The law requires that the individual swear or affirm that his or her testimony will be the truth. If the person willfully and contrary to that oath testifies to a material matter which the person does not believe to be true, the crime of perjury has occurred which is punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison for each lie.

In order for the crime of perjury to be present, the person must have taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or authorized person. Perjury can also apply to a written declaration or statement made under penalties of perjury in relation to a matter within the purview of Section 1621. Another perjury law, Title 18 U.S.C. section 1623, applies to false declarations before a court or grand jury of the United States. This statute provides that if a person testifies under oath and knowingly made two or more declarations which are inconsistent to the degree that one of them is necessarily false, the Government can charge the individual with perjury without specifying which of the two statements is false. Both statements must be material to the point in question. This law provides that
if the person appears before the grand jury to whom the two inconsistent statements were made and admits which declaration was false, a perjury prosecution is then barred. It is not necessary for the government to call any specific number of witnesses or produce documentary evidence in order to sustain a conviction. For any prosecution by the federal government for perjury, the government is not required to produce more than one witness. Cases are often brought where proof beyond a reasonable doubt comes down to whether the jury will believe one witness over another. If the jury believes one witness over another, that may be sufficient to supply proof beyond a reasonable doubt of perjury. Prosecutors usually try to have additional evidence to support a lone witness in a “he said, she said� situation. Another federal statute which makes it a crime to lie is found in Title 18 U.S.C. section 1001. This is a broad statute which applies to any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the government of the United States. Therefore, lying to or providing false documents to Congress or federal investigators such as FBI agents is a crime. In relation to Congress, this law is principally utilized in investigations conducted by committee or subcommittee of the House or Senate. This law does not require that a person be placed under oath when talking with an FBI agent or other Federal investigator. Therefore, any intentionally false statement or document given to a Federal investigator is a violation of the statute. Providing false information in any federal proceeding or investigation can result in prosecution and incarceration. Lying as a matter of routine to friends, business associates, or the public and making inconsistent statements about the same subject may disclose a character trait of falsehood but is not by itself a crime.

Dr. Mahnaz Qayyum Family Care Specialists of Orlando
My name is Dr. Mahnaz Qayyum. My desire to heal was first formed when my physician parents practiced in England, United Kingdom. I come from a family of physicians with specialties ranging from General Surgery, OB GYN to Cardiology. Listening to their stories over dinner inspired me to enter the medical field. I grew up in Great Britain. I now practice in Orlando, Florida. Having experienced both socialized and private medicine, I am able to provide a unique perspective to my patients. My mission is to treat patients holistically from the inside and the outside. Today, I share my philosophy with my patients. This journey takes patients to achieve lasting health, anti-aging, and weight loss. The journey starts with a blood test as the baseline. Patients are given health milestones and how to achieve them. They are educated about how health and lasting beauty is a lifestyle and not a passing fad. My two-decade medical experience in hospital and clinic settings has helped me transform patients’ lives for the better. My passion is to reverse the ravages of poor health and unhealthy lifestyle. This is done in several ways. Health education is a fundamental aspect of my treatment. If people understand their disease processes, then they are better equipped to handle them. My philosophy is based on the “Bio Psycho Social” model of medicine. This embodies the whole health aspect of mind, body, and spirit. Our team will hold your hand through your wellness journey to achieve a mutual goal. This will enable patients to live healthy and happy lives. Patients are seen at my two locations at Celebration (Family Practice of Celebration) and Dr. Philips (Family Care Specialists of Orlando.) These two locations are collectively known as the Elysium Group. Beauty is an integral part of our well-being. At the Elysium Group we provide cutting edge beauty treatments. CoolSculpting has been immensely successful in body sculpting. Patients lose weight the right way. The weight loss is gradual, realistic, and risk free. Each person is unique. Treatments are customized for their individual needs. CoolSculpting allows us to remove stubborn fat. To us, losing fat should be done wisely and not blindly. We are lifelong partners with our patients. Lasting health and beauty are not a sprint, but a marathon. Dr Qayyum Specializes in: Primary Care Women’s Health Geriatrics Obesity Diabetes Thyroid

Jocelyn Davis The Essential Team Leader, Brokered by EXP REALTY Jocelyn Davis grew up just north of Baltimore. She says her Mom raised her on sweet tea, creativity, and resourceful-spunk. Jocelyn has loved Orlando ever since she was on the Opening Team of Disney’s Animal Kingdom in 1998. Jocelyn and her husband, Jared are influential people who have spent the last decade starting new churches in Central Florida. They live on Lake Holden with their two beautiful children. When asked about her success, Jocelyn Davis, with confidence attributes her success in Real Estate to prayer, friendship and joining EXP Realty. Since moving over to EXP Realty in March of 2016, she has recruited six incredibly talented friends to The Essential Team. Jocelyn was enthusiastic when she proclaimed that joining EXP Realty was one of the best decisions she has made in her Real Estate Career. “EXP Realty has helped me mentor six brand new agents into a successful 24 million-dollar team! I have been able to provide my team with generous revenue share, stock provisions for retirement while also integrating the world-
class technology and marketing platforms that allow us to serve our clients at an extremely high level.” As we looked into The Essential Team social media presence, we discovered the word “serve” kept coming up. When we asked Jocelyn what she meant by that, she replied, “All of my team members value the Golden Rule, and they genuinely seek to serve people and put our clients’ goals above their own.” Sometimes we show up at our seller’s homes with a paintbrush in our hand; we treat our sellers like friends.” Jocelyn Davis had been running a staging business for four years when she and her husband became aware through prayer that it was time to expand the business and go into Real Estate. “I was enjoying seeing people sell their home in less than 30 days and at 8-10% more on their home sale because of the design work we did on their home.” That’s why Jocelyn and her team now offer free staging to their listing clients as part of what she calls “The Essential Team proven seller strategy.”

She believes that’s one of the reasons they have been able to successfully serve hundreds of clients with an Average number of days on the market of 11.3 days since 2016. Orlando Regional Realtors Association reported in September that 48 days was the average days on the market, in comparison. “People walk in our sellers’ homes, and they experience positive feelings because of the design work we do, and then they put in an offer, and our sellers love that!” The day after getting her real estate license Jocelyn says she received confirmation that she was in the right business when she was able to negotiate a $45,000 builder credit for her buyer on a new construction home in Laureate Park, Lake Nona. It was abundantly clear during our interview that Jocelyn Davis is a dynamic team leader and highly valued real estate professional that enjoys working together with her team to serve people in residential and commercial Real Estate.

He is an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) and is fluent in English, Spanish and Arabic. Danny believes that the key to this industry is loyalty and treating each client like family rather than as a transaction. As a result he is proud and humbled to have an amazing reputation built by repeat clients and referrals using little self-advertising. He is committed to his family and feels his upbringing is foundation of his ability. In fact his parents and brother are his neighbors which he feels is his biggest blessing. Danny has over $85 million dollars in personal sales earned in just the past 10 years. He has developed impressive skills in the art of negotiation because all the postcards and ads mean nothing if your agent does not understand that the core of real estate is the interaction. Many do not realize that agents often pool their sales together to show an impressive number in an attempt to lure business. Always remember that even the best surgeon can only do so many procedures without sacrificing the quality and attention to each patient. He stresses that you must find an agent who will give you the time you need and deserve to make the process work to your best interest. As a resident of Vizcaya, Danny specializes in Dr. Phillips, Windermere and Lake Nona, with 100% percent of his sales in the areas he knows and loves.

From his role as a VIP tour guide at Walt Disney World to planning and coordinating weddings in New Orleans, Kyle Madorin’s career has been dedicated to providing luxurious, exceptional and personalized care to clients. As he puts it, “I’ve been making dreams come true for almost 20 years!” When Kyle relocated to Orlando and launched his real estate business in 2013, it was his goal to incorporate this high standard of excellence into every element of his activities. “Our industry is more than bricks, mortar, facts and figures,” Kyle explains. “This is, first and foremost, a people business.” His passionate drive to exceed expectations has shaped the focus of his team, The Madorin Group, who consider themselves service providers— not salespeople. Kyle insists on a detail-oriented approach that’s highly technology driven, but believes, “Although Realtors are immersed in the world of sales and must incorporate the latest technology to continue providing the type of experience clients desire, the agents who will be most successful in the coming decade are those who understand customer service is paramount.” This people-first approach has elicited strong reactions from their customers, as over 75% of The Madorin Group’s business comes from past clients and referrals—a significant feat after just 5 years in the business— and Kyle is on track for 50% growth in his production volume in 2018. “The passion for providing exceptional customer experiences starts from day one and continues through closing and beyond,” says Kyle. “Most real estate professionals understand the importance of good service. However, I try to embody that element of concierge-level client care in every decision I make and in every piece of correspondence. I truly care about making my buyers and sellers happy, and I believe they know without hesitation that my commitment is genuine.” Kyle is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), is Gold Key Certified for Excellence in Professionalism, and is culture committee chairman on the Agent Leadership Council at Keller Williams Lake Nona. He has been recognized among the top 1% of real estate agents in the Orlando area. The core members of Kyle’s team at The Madorin Group are his wife, Shalea, and his brother, Kevin. Shalea and Kyle met while working at Walt Disney World and now live in the Lake Nona area with their two sons. Their love of Disney continues, and many weekends you can find them playing in the theme parks. Kyle is a Life Loyal member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and was also an avid baseball player, sneaking over to Osceola Heritage Park to watch the Florida Fire Frogs whenever possible during their home stands.

Our first time buying a house was pleasant with no stress, thanks to him. If you are looking for an ethical and honest professional, look no further” “I couldn’t be happier! Marty explored the houses we were interested in with us and gave excellent guidance and honest opinions about them. Being first time buyers we were clueless what to look for. After finding the “must have home” Marty expertly coached us on making the offer that would have the greatest chances in this competitive market. Working with Marty and his team, was the first and best professional experience I’ve had in Orlando! Thanks for everything!” “Marty was patient with us throughout the entire process as we looked (and looked and looked) to find our forever home.

The main idea was to offer a turn key service with an accurate scenario of how investing in real estate looks like. Managing expectations, is the single most important aspect to maintaining a healthy & rewarding relationship with our clients. From sitting down one on one or in a conference call to listen to their goals, needs, style, plans, going over the processes, timing, expenses, payments, return (if working with investors), It’s all about expectations. When we meet with a client for the first time, it is to make their time worth it, the goal is to make sure they are well informed, so they can make the best decision with no surprises!

Are they investors? first time home buyers? Second home? Explaining the processes, numbers, locations, lifestyle, costs, responsibilities, economy, jobs in the area, schools, taxes, association fees and provide
important details, provides the client a clear scenario of the investment. By doing that not only we have the satisfaction of being outstanding real estate advisors but also builds our clients trust and our credibility, and that I believe is the key to our success. We specialize in international clients. The main countries we work with are: Venezuela. Qatar, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. “As a foreign person myself, I understand how it feels moving to another country and not knowing how the system works, from the simplest things such as utilities, and I believe that is how our 5-star service was created; we provide Solutions no matter what the situation is.”
We strive to build relationships not transactions. The property management team is the key when working with investors; managing their properties, having the knowledge and expertise on what to expect from that property, in terms of return, vacancies, income and others.
Delivering results and keeping clients close = success. We want to be the direct resource and always be of service, even if is not real estate related.

Valerie Wanzer
Real Estate Professionals, Southeast Inc. Photo by Kimberly Jefcoat
REALTORS ORLANDO STYLE
Real Estate can be a volatile business with plenty of ups and downs so when you find an agent that’s been in the business for more than 24 years you know you have found someone special. Valerie Wanzer is a sales associate with Real Estate Professionals, S.E. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Valerie moved to Orlando from Atlanta in 1997 and says she has fallen in love with Florida. “I love the diversity and the friendliness of Floridians and of course I love the sunshine! Her customers often refer to her as their “go to agent” and that is certainly evident in the fact that 99% of her business is referral. She is definitely not a one hit wonder as far as her customers are concerned. Not only do they refer their family and friends to her but many of them have used her on 3 or more transactions. That says a lot! Valerie has received numerous awards such as being ranked in the top 7% of agents as a “Five Star Best in Client Satisfaction Agent”. She has also been entered into the “Hot 100 Hall of Fame”. Valerie is a hard worker and thinks nothing of going above and beyond in the best interests of her customers. One of them calls her “a down home and sophisticated girl who really goes out of her way to take care of you and put you at ease”. She attributes her longevity to her husband of 28 years, Ken and her Broker Robert Meeks who she says “lets me do my thing and make peoples dreams of home ownership come true whenever I can. It’s often said that the highest compliment a client can give an agent is the act of referring additional business but truly I think the purest compliment is a client that returns again and again throughout the years. Valerie’s success is not only a result of referral business but of satisfied clients returning again and again because they trust her knowledge and guidance and appreciate her thoroughness and professionalism throughout the transaction. Valerie’s is genuinely passionate about real estate and people are drawn to her gregarious personality. Across the almost 20 years that I have known her I don’t believe I have met anyone who can make a stranger feel instantly at ease like Valerie can. She comes by her positive character traits naturally thanks to a mother whose contagious laughter could brighten a room. -Robert Meeks
