We Can “Bearly” Contain Our Excitement! - Flamingo Gardens To Welcome Two Orphaned American Black Bear Cubs South Florida Sun Times Jun 11, 2026 Flamingo Gardens Is Thrilled To Announce The Upcoming Arrival Of Two Orphaned American Black Bear Cubs, Bentley And Treena, Donated By Chestatee Wildlife Preserve In Dahlonega, Ga, Who Will Soon Call Flamingo Gardens Their Forever Home. The young bears, now approximately 14 months old, were rescued in Georgia following a heartbreaking incident last year in the Bent Tree community, where their mother was tragically killed. After a dedicated community search effort, the cubs, later named Bentley and Treena in honor of the Bent Tree community, were safely recovered and brought into care at Chestatee Wildlife Preserve. Since being rescued and bottle-fed by wildlife caregivers, Bentley and Treena have become dependent on human care and cannot be released back into the wild. Flamingo Gardens is honored to provide them with a safe, enriching, and permanent habitat where they can thrive while helping inspire compassion and conservation awareness among guests of all ages. “These bears have already touched the hearts of so many people,” said Keith Cl ark, CEO of Flamingo Gardens. “Their journey is both heartbreaking and hopeful, and we are incredibly proud to provide them with a loving forever home while helping educate our community about wildlife conservation and coexistence.” Flamingo Gardens plans to introduce the bears to the public following their arrival and acclimation period, with special opportunities for guests, members, and supporters to welcome the cubs to South Florida. “Bentley and Treena will serve as important ambassadors for their species, helping visitors learn about the challenges facing wildlife and the importance of protecting native habitats and respecting wild animals in their natural environments,” said Michael Ruggieri, Senior Director of Wildlife at Flamingo Gardens. The cubs’ rescue story drew widespread community support and regional attention in Georgia, highlighting both the emotional connection people have with wildlife and the importance of responsible human-wildlife interaction. The public could begin visiting the bears on Saturday, June 6. For more information about Flamingo Gardens, visit: www.flamingogardens.org or follow Flamingo Gardens on Social Media.

Welcome to Ambrosia: South Florida’s Hottest Hookah Lounge and Bar Wed Jul 28 2021 17:11:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Dr. Susan B. Fox, D.O., RPVI, FSVM October 14, 2021 Share Fox Vein & Laser Experts Diagnostic & Treatment Center For years, Fox Vein and Laser Experts has been at the forefront of vein therapy and laser procedures. Around five years ago, Dr. Fox expanded the practice to include many non-invasive cutting-edge procedures such as microneedling, tattoo removal, hydrofacials, PRP, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, peels, lasers and so much more. Fox Vein & Laser Experts has been an industry leader through the years, with the best equipment and services offered. In recent times, the practice has expanded, now offering even more cutting-edge treatments. They are one of the first practices in the United States to offer Physiq and Virtue RF, two machines by Cartessa Aesthetics that provide FDA-approved, safe and non-invasive treatments that require little to no down time, aimed to help you look your very best. Physiq is the best in non-invasive body treatments to rid you of those hard-to-treat areas that weight loss and diet leave untouched. This new state-of-the-art machine uses four pads to treat multiple areas of the body at once, resulting in a leaner, more sleek and toned physique. This pain-free treatment is highly effective and has no down-time, unlike plastic surgery procedures like tummy tucks and liposuction. No anesthetic is necessary and it is extremely effective and affordable. Many other body contouring machines in the industry are extremely uncomfortable and do not always have the best results. Physiq is the first to use STEP technology (Sequential Thermal and Electrical Pulse) muscle stimulation with laser lipolysis in a sequential manner with contact cooling. The patient can actually control the energy and comfort level themselves, which is the main reason why the procedure is relatively pain-free and requires no down time. It can treat multiple body parts at once, including the inner thighs, buttocks, abdominals and flanks, just to name a few. The machine, made for Cartessa by Europe’s leading laser manufacturer, Deka, is already being hailed as the newest and best in body contouring and will quickly be-come an industry leader. Experts recommend five sessions, each spaced one week apart, for optimal results. The treatment sessions are faster and more comfortable than other body contouring ma-chines. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is now offering Physiq at its Hollywood location. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is also one of the first in the country to offer the Virtue RF. This machine takes microneedling to a whole new level. It is faster, more customizable and less painful than its predecessors. This machine uses 36 gold coated needles at one of three treatment speeds with robotic precision delivery to provide the best microneedling radiofrequency treatment in the industry. It provides immediate results with little to no down time. The results improve over time as your body continues to build collagen and elastin to improve your appearance. It is used to shrink pore size, help skin laxity, improve fine lines and wrinkles, build collagen and elastin, improve scars, especially those caused by acne and help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It can also be used with PRP or a proprietary stem cell system to help with hair loss. Only the Virtue RF pairs the treatment with LED red or blue light to help with acne or signs of aging. The facial treatments can be followed by a microcurrent dual face mask system by Franz Skincare. This mask uses ion currents and patented Tissue X technology to transport the nourishing substances deeper into the dermis where they help the most. The other amazing aspect of the Virtue machine is the ability to completely turn off the radiofrequency if desired. This is very helpful when we are microneedling for hair loss or on patients who have defibrillators or pacemakers. These FDA-approved machines are at the forefront of new and innovative less invasive, less painful treatment options that help you look your best for years to come. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also offers the best in tattoo removal, using Picoway by Candela. In those cases where someone may regret getting a tattoo, hope is not lost. This machine is the best tattoo removal laser on the market. It can also be used to treat benign pigmented lesions, discolorations, scars and more. The laser uses Picosecond pulses of light in various wavelengths and vibrational energy to remove the ink or benign pigmented lesions. It comes in various wavelengths to adequately treat various colors of ink and melanin on any color skin. The photo-acoustic effect minimizes the injury to the skin and tissues to just the lesion or area being treated. Tattoos and discolorations can be removed faster and with less pain than older treatments. In addition to tattoo removal, the laser can also be used for skin rejuvenation. It has a separate hand piece, known as Resolve by Picoway, which can help with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as signs of aging like darkening and age spots. The laser also helps refine tummy tuck scars, breast scars and facial scars. “We originally added the Picoway to help people rid themselves of discoloration related to their vein issues, but we use it for so much more,” said Dr. Fox. Aside from vein procedures, Fox Vein & Laser Experts also performs hair restoration with microneedling and PRP or stem cell serums. They have been a primary center in a hair regrowth trial using microneedling and AnteAge stem cell serums. The Virtue RF microneedling machine makes 36 micro-holes in the scalp with each pass. These channels allow the PRP and stem cells to be better absorbed in the areas that it is needed. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is completing a funded study of hair restoration and so far, have seen amazing results. The patients have noticed thicker hair, even after the first few treatments. The study was designed as a six-month trial, with patients coming in every two weeks for three months, then only once monthly. In between visits, the patients are instructed to use a hair care formula by AnteAge at home. Before and after photos have been taken, which visually show the success rate. “Many people have struggled with thinning hair and hair loss from stress, aging, medications, Covid-19, illness, etc. and this has been so helpful," said Dr. Fox. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also has a full-time aesthetician on staff, Samantha. She has experience providing peels, facials and laser hair removal for more than a decade. She performs all types of cutting-edge facials, peels, jelly masks, hydrofacials, aquagold and more. Samantha is here to help make your skin look and feel youthful and amazing, regardless of your age. Whatever your skin and body goals, Samantha can help you achieve them. Fox Vein & Laser Experts has been a leader in vein treatment and care for over 20 years, with a focus on venous insufficiency, endovenous la-ser, sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, phlebectomies, ul-trasound guided therapies and so much more. The team is able to treat your skin, veins and body issues with the best, newest and most cutting- edge machines and procedures available. make sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Bijoux Shelami: Where Fashion Meets Family, Quality Meets Quantity Fri Nov 17 2023 17:17:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Welcome to Ambrosia: South Florida’s Hottest Hookah Lounge and Bar By Austin Torres July 28, 2021 Share When it comes to once in a lifetime nightlife experiences, there are few locations in South Florida that do it as well as Amir Boctor’s Ambrosia Hookah Lounge and Bar. This upscale lounge is a one-of-a-kind venue that synthesizes the best elements of the hottest nightclubs as well as the most successful lounges to create a unique experience that not only makes it a staple of the Hallandale community, but also an innovative venue distinctly different from any of its competitors. In 2019, Amir had taken notice of the growing popularity of hookah lounges and bars in South Florida and realized that they were missing the deep traditions and roots of hookah culture and the lack of upscale hookah lounges. Recalling his home town in Cairo, a communal environment that offered comfort and a sense of unity, he began to envision a different kind of hookah lounge that would embody those same values. In 2019, Amir brought that vision to life and Ambrosia was born. The product of meticulous planning and deep emotional investment, Ambrosia is a conceptual hookah lounge forged on the hybridization of authentic traditions, innovation, and the ability to submerge the senses in delight. As soon as you enter Ambrosia, you are immersed in a unique ambience. A tastefully decorated gorgeous Moroccan Motif and stunning light fixtures and seating areas epitomize comfort and class, while creating an environment that’s perfect for unwinding, socializing, and having an overall great time. To create an authentic feel, all fabrics and furniture materials were hand selected, and custom designed and imported from Egypt, giving guests a uniquely exotic sense of location. Lamps and chandeliers were also imported from Egypt and beautifully compliment the décor, providing warm and inviting lighting. The wall art at Ambrosia was brilliantly crafted over several days of laborious painting by a local artist, and the result is a multi-layered masterpiece, rich in depth and color. One of the things that makes Ambrosia so different from other Hookah lounges, is the impressive way in which they are able to balance the more relaxing and laid-back elements of a typical hookah lounge with the lively and energetic ambience of the nightclub scene. The warm and friendly accommodating staff go above and beyond to ensure that each guest is treated like family. You will find that Ambrosia is best suited for casual socialization from 8 PM-10 PM. “8-10 on Monday and Tuesday is the best time to chill, and converse with friends,” says Amir, “We’re also offering Happy Hour 2 for 1 on wine and champagne by the glass, and beers.” For those of you looking for a relaxing spot to come hangout for a couple hours and catch up with friends while enjoying any one of several drinks served at the illustrious Ambrosia Hookah Lounge, come by during these times to decompress after a long work day and have some laughs. The drink menu at Ambrosia features a wide variety of carefully selected choices, ranging from delicious affordable wines and fine wines to Vintage champagnes. You can choose from Ruby Red Rose from the South of France, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, or Caymus Cabernet from Napa Valley or you can treat yourself to Don Perignon Brut or Vintage Don Perignon Rose, as well as many more. Naturally, Ambrosia is renowned for its hookahs and tobacco. Here you will only find reasonably priced top shelf products. Ambrosia provides a wide variety of highly coveted Russian Tobacco brands such as Element, with numerous flavors to choose from. House blends are crafted by Hookah Master and Alchemist, Vlad, who dedicates himself to bringing you an exotic mix of flavors and sensorial delights and can accommodate any taste or flavor. You will find that Ambrosia uses only the highest quality Hookah’s imported from Russia that deliver the ultimate smoking experience including but not limited to; Alpha Hookah, Mattpear Hookah, and Mexanika. Music picks up and the party starts to get hot after 10 pm, all the way to 2 am every night (currently Ambrosia is in the process of getting a nightclub license that will allow it to remain open until 6 AM, stay tuned for the announcement). On Wednesday’s, Ambrosia hosts a highly successful Karaoke night featuring songs in a variety of languages. And from Thursday to Friday Ambrosia features a live DJ who comes on after 10 pm. “It’s a friendly spot for everyone to gather and have a good time with friends,” said Amir. Ambrosia also hosts a variety of events and on Saturdays, the party reaches its pinnacle. Every week it’s a surprise; you might find belly dancers, go-go dancers, drummers, or aerial acrobatics at this lively venue. Ambrosia is an ideal venue to celebrate your birthday or any special occasion as many of their customers currently do. Whatever the event is, there’s no shortage of fun at Ambrosia. Most recently, they hosted a magical acrobatic show for the 4th of July, featuring cirque de soleil performers. At Ambrosia, you’ll also find a variety of delectable bites with options to choose from gourmet meats and cheeses, and seasonal fruit platters. Try their Chef’s Sampler platter, a delicious mix of smoked salmon, cream cheese, cherry tomatoes sundried tomatoes, truffle cheese, shrimp with blue crab spread and pineapple or any one of their delicious deserts from tiramisu to a triple layer panna cota.

New Trial for Patients with Advanced and Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Available Now PROFILES July 2021 July 28, 2021 Share Are you, or someone you know, being treated for Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer with chemotherapy alone? If so, you may want to contact Dr. Robert Donoway at Atlas Oncology in Hollywood/Aventura, Florida, regarding a new trial combining multimodality therapy in combination with Pancreatic Nanoknife Ablation and with chemo-immuno-radiotherapy. With over 35 years experience performing pancreatic surgery here in Tri-county South Florida, Dr. Donoway saw what others as well recognize, that often because of late diagnosis, up to 85% of the patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for potential cure, already had metastatic disease that limited the benefit they might get from the Whipple surgery. Today, recent evidence shows that when even advanced disease is treated aggressively in a multimodality integrated approach, incorporating Nanoknife surgery, long term survivorship of many years can be achieved; especially when compared to chemotherapy alone, as mono-modality therapy. Dr. Donoway has been a pioneer in the use of Pancreatic NanoKnife, especially for complex and advanced cases and during the past decade, remains the only surgical oncologist performing the procedure in South Florida. International Patients from around the globe have traveled to receive this groundbreaking treatment; which is FDA approved. Dr. Donoway has also treated other advanced cancers, such as liver, breast and sarcomas using Nanoknife surgery. The average procedure lasts approximately 1-2 hours and has a brief recovery, this means the patient can start chemotherapy and radiation that much sooner. Dr. Donoway feels that “we are long overdue to revise our approach to treating pancreatic cancer, which has remained unchanged in essentially over 80 years and has just broken the 9-10% five year survival barrier. Only through thinking outside the box, will we accomplish the positive. Otherwise, all we’re doing is confirming Einstein’s definition of Insanity.” Dr. Donoway is participating in several clinical studies identifying the best chemotherapy and immunotherapies to be used along with Nanoknife, Dr. Donoway states, "The results so far, have been very encouraging and we have begun using it for other select cancers. Among his longest survivors, are now patients with over eight years and without evidence of cancer recurrence. In the past, without Nanoknife, they would have been likely to have only lived a year or so, this technique opens a whole new avenue for treating those eligible patients in a more targeted fashion." Dr. Donoway will be presenting the long-term results of this pancreatic treatment paradigm, later this fall at an international cancer society in Europe. For more information about Dr. Donoway and the Pancreatic-IRE/NanoKnife Program and clinical trials, call: (954) 986-6366 or (305) 682-1995. Visit: www.AtlasOncology.com . R.B.

Best Look Inc.: Handymen & Professional Cleaning Service By Austin Torres July 28, 2021 Share Are you searching for a new handy man? Do you have drapery, rugs, tile, or some kind of carpet that is in dire need of cleaning or restoration? Then consider hiring Amir, Mike, Eliya and his remarkable team at Best Look to handle the job. Amir has been providing handyman and professional cleaning services since 1997 and prides himself on the work he and his associates do for their clients. The team at Best Look is determined to go out of their way to put the bounce and life back into your carpets and leave your tiles looking like mirrors. Amir has been delivering on this promise to clients since 1997. Prior to opening his own business, he worked alongside a friend and together they provided handyman and professional cleaning services. It was not long before he fell in love with the business and decided he would want to branch off and have his own company. “I started loving this job and since then, I haven’t stopped,” says Amir. Soon after, Amir began working at another company where he spent nearly 10 years gaining substantial experience in the industry, before finally opening his own business with a team that includes his son. Since then, they have dedicated themselves to delivering customer service that is unrivaled in the industry. Several of the diverse services provided by Best Look are essential to keeping your furniture and home décor in tip-top shape. Drapes for example, are a staple for many homes, but are difficult to care for, so they are often written off whenever they are damaged. It takes a highly experienced and dedicated team of workers to properly clean and restore drapes. Amir and his team are equipped for this kind of work and will go the extra mile to ensure that everything is done to leave drapes looking new. For those of you who have tile in your home, this might just be the right time to call Amir and the team at Best Look, so they can come by and polish that floor for you. The process of polishing, not only leaves your floor looking clean, shiny, and reflective, but it also adds protection as well. To keep your tile floor looking alive and beautiful, it is recommended that you have your floor professionally polished once or twice a year. Hire Best Look to handle this for you and give your floor the sparkle it deserves. Cleaning grout is another difficult and time-consuming task that is better left to the professionals at Best Look. Unkept grout can lead to the dangerous development of mold and mildew, and the process of cleaning it, can be exhausting and frustrating, especially when the stains deeply set into the material. Amir and his team are professionals who know just the right cleaners to apply in the most efficient manner to leave your grout looking brilliant again. When you hire Best Look for this job, you save yourself time and stress and can rest easy knowing the job will be done right. Cleaning and taking care of carpet and upholstery is yet another delicate and time-consuming task for homeowners. Certain fabrics and furniture items can be complicated to deal with. Using the wrong cleaning products on fabrics can lead to blemish and wear and tear that could make your treasured furniture look old and defeated. When you hire professionals like the team at Best Look you are paying for a service that comes equipped with years of experience dealing with a multitude of various materials and fabrics. Not only will Best Look go above and beyond to deliver the best professional cleaning services, but they will also use the proper cleaning techniques and products to ensure you and your family are safe. Many cleaning products may contain harmful chemicals, so it is of the utmost importance to ensure that the products and processes used are safe for your children, family, and pets. If you want to make sure that your furniture and upholstery are cleaned the right way, then you can count on Best Look to get the job done for you. Besides professional cleaning services, Best Look also offers other handyman services. Amir and his team are always eager to assist clients. Amir’s favorite part of his job is delivering the service and seeing his clients happy, after the job has been done. “Servicing people and making them happy. After the job is done seeing the customer smile and appreciate the work means the world to me,” says Amir. Among the many handymen out there, few have the kind of integrity and passion for their work that Amir and his team at Best Look have.
