    Carmel Partners Designs Communities for the Student Lifestyle

    Multifamily experts and entrepreneurs, Carmel Partners applies a creative approach to developing properties which appeal to various renter segments, spanning east to west coasts. In addition to traditional multifamily projects, Carmel Partners has successfully developed and operated communities focused on the student lifestyle at San Diego State University and University of California, Davis. Creating spaces which engage the work/play mindset, Carmel Partners integrated students’ desires for a community-centric and laid-back living space at ‘BLVD 63’ and ‘Sol at West Village.’ In separate college towns, these properties redefine the campus lifestyle.

    Just over one-mile from SDSU’s campus, Carmel Partners developed BLVD 63 as an apartment destination for undergraduate and graduate students, ideally separated from campus-life on a sprawling 8.9-acres. Centered around the casual Southern California lifestyle, BLVD 63 exemplifies Carmel Partner’s ability to create a cohesive experience through integrated branded touchpoints. On the property itself, a skateboard installation sets a playful tone at the entrance, with bold and graphic murals bringing youthful energy to common spaces. Carmel Partners also added onsite signage through octopus illustrations that appear on the entrance to each individual apartment unit, and consistently throughout other brand materials.

    Carmel Partners’ marketing team also worked to create a fully branded community at BLVD 63 through a distinctive logo that appears in and around the property, on all marketing materials and even on shuttles that travel between the SDSU campus and nearby neighborhoods. Promoting BLVD 63’s bold intersection of urban and beach living, the property reached all pre-leasing and yearlong goals soon after development. As an additional success, Carmel Partners gained recognition for the dynamic promotion of the student property through the prestigious Multifamily Executive Award for marketing and advertising in 2015.

    As BLVD 63 drew attention for successful marketing efforts, students discovered the joys of off-campus living on a property rich with amenities and 332 apartment units. Designed to reflect a neighborhood-like community, Carmel Partners added unexpected pocket gardens and courtyards for residents to enjoy connections outdoors. More centrally located, an outdoor pool continues to become a popular gathering place at BLVD 63, surrounded by cabanas, hammocks and palm trees. For amenities beyond the poolside, residents enjoy a 7,000-square-foot gym open 24-hours and an indoor-outdoor yoga and spin studio.

    Serving undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty at UC Davis, Carmel Partners developed Sol at West Village as a 180-acre vibrant community that unites a collection of housing, educational and research facilities. Like BLVD 63, the firm’s marketing team thoughtfully crafted simple infographic messages in the promotion of Sol at West Village, appealing to a variety of student and faculty renters through three separate lifestyle choices, totaling 663 units. Its main message being “energy-positive,” Sol at West Village provides modern living with environmental consciousness. Through the use of over 10 megawatts of solar-generated electricity, this eco-friendly community strives for zero net energy usage.

    Integrating its eco-friendly mission into a social lifestyle, Sol at West Village’s amenities include a community lawn and nearby bike trail, a clubhouse with billiards, ping pong and video gaming and a recreational pool and outdoor lounge area, furnished with seating and BBQs. Indoors, residents are encouraged to recharge at a 24-hour fitness center and yoga studio or find space for productivity at the Cyber Center. Building convenience at Sol at West Village, Carmel Partners completed the amenity package with an onsite café, market and restaurant. Close to campus, residents have the opportunity to find rest in communal and personal spaces, ranging from 1- to 4-bedrooms.

    Appealing to the student market’s desire for convenience, playfulness and approachability, Carmel Partners developed communities that bring these attributes to life at BLVD 63 and Sol at West Village.

    Find Out How Online Pharmacies Work

    For ease and convenience, the sales of consumer products (including pharmaceuticals) online has seen rapid growth in the last few years. You can now buy medicines and refill your prescriptions at an online pharmacy with just a few clicks.

    What are online pharmacies?

    Online pharmacies are pharmacies that operate over the Internet and can help with customer medication/prescriptions by sending orders via mail or shipping companies. Online pharmacies are just like mail-order pharmacies, and they require proper licensing and certifications to legally operate. Many of these online pharmacies use the same safety measures for prescribing medicine as with traditional pharmacies.

    Some of them are even popular large pharmacy chains or locally-owned pharmacies set up to serve clients electronically.

    Purchasing medication from an online pharmacy comes with a lot of benefits, such as;

    • Lower cost of prescription drugs (discounts, coupons and referral points)
    • Access to a wider range of drugs, including brand name drugs and generic versions.
    • Refills can be automatic, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to refill your medication.
    • Easier access to expert advice and guidance from licensed pharmacists.
    • Convenience- online pharmacies are also very convenient, which means that you can have your medications delivered to your doorstep in just a few simple steps.
    • Discretion and privacy- online pharmacies do not require any face to face interaction. Only your valid doctor’s prescription is needed, although some may require you to fill out a medical questionnaire.

    How online pharmacies work

    Generally, purchasing drugs from a legal online pharmacy involves a few simple steps. These include;

    Creating an account – Most online pharmacies will require you to create an account where you can place your orders and also safely submit your credit and insurance information. However, before you do this, ensure that the online pharmacy is properly licensed to sell prescription medications by the country and the state in which they operate.

    Provide a valid prescription – Once your account has been created, you will be required to provide a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare professional in order to place your medication order. Online pharmacies like Canadian Pharmacy have made this process easy. All you have to do is email/fax your prescription to the email address/fax number on their website.

    Payment – Once your prescription has been sent and reviewed, you will be contacted by a customer service representative to discuss and confirm your payment options.

    Delivery – After your prescription and order have been approved, the final step is delivery. Some online pharmacies operate by sending products from a central spot to your doorstep, while others may offer the option of allowing you to pick them up at a local pharmacy near you.

    Whichever option you choose, deliveries are typically quick with little to no shipping charges. However, for overnight delivery, some pharmacies may charge a little extra.

    For any questions or concerns you have about your prescription, many online pharmacies also have an on-call pharmacist available to give advice and answer all your questions. This can be done via email or a toll-free number.

    Conclusion:

    Online pharmacies work great, especially for people who are too busy or incapable of making the trip to the local or traditional pharmacy. With just a few easy steps, you can have access to a wide variety of quality and affordable medicine, all from the comfort of your home. Ensure to carry out proper research on any online pharmacy you intend to purchase from and also make sure that they have the proper license to operate.

Online pharmacies enhance access to alternative and better medications.

    Even though you can get all types of medications online, there are some challenges people face and certain things that should be avoided when purchasing.

    Some of the Precautions and safety measures to take when acquiring drugs online are;

    • Staying away from sites that allow the purchase of medications without a valid prescription from a pharmacist or licensed Medical Practitioners.
    • Stay away from Websites that send unsolicited messages to email for advertising cheap Medicines and too exciting deals.
    • Avoid websites that sell Medications way cheaper than their regular prices. When the deal is too good, that can be a warning sign to stay off. Most of them sell counterfeit drugs.
    • Ensure you get a valid prescription from a medical practitioner. It is also important to check if the pharmacy you’re getting Medications from is licensed. Licensed pharmacies can be checked through the Licensing board. Alternatively, the license status of a pharmacy can be confirmed by checking for the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy’s Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice seal. If it is not licensed, please stay away.
    • One of the major challenges of buying Medications Online is the prevalence of Rogue websites. Rogue websites are websites that sell illegal medications. To avoid these websites, you should check for a licensed seal. Also, avoid when there is no evaluation and supervision from a medical practitioner.
    • Avoid websites that prescribe medications by answering questionnaires only. Questionnaires aren’t the most reliable way to get medications because they may lead to wrong diagnoses and prescriptions.

    To get medications online, follow these simple steps;

    • Check the desired pharmacy online if it is licensed.
    • Open an account with the pharmacy and submit the necessary documents.
    • Submit a valid prescription from a licensed practitioner.
    • Will the medication get delivered to you in good form?

    Getting medications online is quite easy, and it is one of the common ways people purchase medications. However, care must be taken when choosing the website you want to buy drugs from to avoid rouge websites, wrong prescriptions, and wrong diagnoses. Cutting costs on medication by shopping online can be stress-free and safe. You only have to use the appropriate outlets, and Canadian Pharmacy Online is a great place to start.

    Walter Keating Jr. Shares 6 Benefits of Cold Weather Running

    Benefits of Cold Weather Running

    Although outdoor exercise seems like the last thing anyone wants to do in the winter, there are some surprising benefits you could be missing out on, explains personal trainer Walter Keating Jr. Here are six ways that getting outside for some exercise in those cold months is better for you than you might think.

    Benefit #1. Banish those winter blues.

    With the change of season, the landscape’s monochrome appearance, and eternal grey skies, it’s easier to slip into periods of depression that can bring you down. Taking the time to get out of the house and exercise (outside of a gym) not only combats seasonal sadness but can also help prevent it. Running releases endorphins that can ward off depression, reduce holiday stress, and even improve self-esteem.

    Benefit #2. It’s easier than running in the summer.

    Running in heat, especially when it’s humid, will make your body work harder than necessary to keep you cool. Sweating through your shirt in the summer might feel like you’ve got a good workout, but it’s harder on your body, so why limit exercise to these times? Weather that you must work against to keep yourself warm is not only easier on your body, but it can also make your run feel easier too.

    Benefit #3. Chances are, you’ll have the street to yourself.

    Unless you’re accustomed to running in the countryside, most runners share their tracks with children, dog walkers, and other runners. But who wants to leave their heated homes in the middle of winter? Running during off-seasons or other outdoor activities almost guarantees that you’ll have just a little more space to do what you need to do.

    Benefit #4. Get more out of your workout.

    With preoccupations about staying cool aside, you can finally take the time to tackle the big hills, the flights of stairs you’ve been avoiding, or higher levels of interval training. You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish when you don’t feel like you’re about to pass out from the heat.

    Benefit #5. Burn more calories.

    In colder temperatures, your body has to work a lot harder to stay alive than it would in the summer. Even if you’re just standing outside, you’re automatically burning more calories than you would naturally in the summer. Factor this into running and a balanced diet, and maybe you’ll see the results you’ve been waiting on.

    Benefit #6. Get more enjoyment out of your run

    Warm-up and cool-down are essential in a winter run to avoid shocking your body and keeping your muscles happy. Maybe you’re out to set new records; perhaps you’re just out for a quick jog before work. Either way, there’s nothing more satisfying than taking the time to cool down and take in the landscape and what you’ve just accomplished.

    However, even with the benefits of working out in the cold, safety precautions are just as important as ever.

    Here are a few more tips to keep you safe and healthy.

    • Although it’s okay to run with a cold if you’re feeling up to it, never exercise with a fever.
    • Keep your head and hands warm, as they’re the first to get cold. Wear a hat, gloves, and extra socks if you can. You’ll thank yourself later.
    • Stay seen. Running when daylight hours are limited might mean that you end up running in the dark. Wear protective gear and light colors to avoid accidents.
    • Protect yourself from the sun. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you don’t have to wear sunscreen. Especially in the snow, take precautions to make sure it’s not just the cold making your cheeks red.
    • Avoid wearing cotton, as it retains moisture and can make you feel colder than you are.

    With these tips in mind, head out into the world and run to your heart’s content, no matter the season.

    Queens Unite! Monarchy Media CEO Nicole Tabs Launches New Website for Female Entrepreneurs

    Nicole Tabs

    It’s no surprise that serial entrepreneur Nicole Tabs named her business development agency Monarchy Media. This multi-talented CEO has become an industry leader in each new field she expands into, having built multiple successful companies at a young age.

    She is the co-founder of the film production company, Serendipity Group Inc, co-founder and CEO of Monarchy Media, and her most recent success story is as a co-founder of a fitness company called Upliffs.

    You might be wondering how she manages it all. After being barraged with similar questions from audiences, followers, and interviewers over the years, she is tackling success and all its facets with her new website, Keeping Tabs.

    On the site, Tabs shares inside tips and a look into her daily life. Site members will be rewarded with regular informative blog posts, exclusive guides, and even have direct access to Tabs, with the ability to ask questions of the businesswoman and her team.

    An additional benefit for members of her latest venture will be the ability to take advantage of coaching programs for women and entrepreneurs, with a particular focus on intimate looks at Tabs’ life and how she juggles running three businesses, personal relationships, self-development, money management, travel and much more.

    The site and its content will be far from a look back on her successes, however. The high-energy powerhouse has new projects in the pipeline and plans to share with her audience exactly how she moves from the daydream phase to reality – all in real-time.

    A Family Monarchy

    Of course, no business woman goes it alone and Tabs has two people solidly in her corner as teachers, co-founders, and inspiration – her mom and dad.

    Her father is also a serial entrepreneur, and it was watching him as a child that taught Tabs much of what she learned about strategy, work ethic, and business ownership. In fact, her father suggested that she call her film company Serendipity Group Inc. since he intimately knew that much of business relies on skills, a keen eye, and resources – but also on that fateful bit of luck and chance that we call ‘serendipity.’

    Tabs’ mother also plays a key role in her business life. She is the co-founder of Serendipity Group Inc. Together,  they manage all aspects of film projects, most of which are designed to  inspire, entertain and capture the imagination of  all audiences.

    Working with Moguls

    Serendipity Group Inc’s latest project has Tabs and Rosanna Grace working with some of Hollywood’s A-List executive producers for the new series about inspiring women of the civil rights movement, which the first two episodes aired on January 6th, 2022, on ABC, and now streaming on Hulu.

    Online Influence

    While Serendipity Group Inc. influences the nation with films,  Monarchy Media influences an online audience. Founded in 2018 with Tabs’ now-husband, Andrea d’Agostini, the undertaking quickly grew from a boutique business that marketed influencers, to a full-fledged marketing and media management company and business development agency.

    In a few short years, the duo went from matchmaking between brands and influencers to managing websites, structuring social media, creating websites, email marketing, staffing, and training for sales teams.

    Then, just over a year ago, Tabs founded Upliffs, a fitness company creating a range that includes workout gear, bags, accessories, small fitness equipment, and more. Their tagline? ‘Your workouts should never be a drag.’

    She recently began sharing her business and branding secrets on a YouTube channel, which had a tremendous response and inspired the idea for her new membership website. She hoped to lend a helping hand and provide knowledge-sharing with those who hope to build their own companies, built on their own unique, personal strengths.

    “You can leverage almost anything when building a brand,” Tabs said.

    With the YouTube channel and website, Tabs allows anyone a view into her success stories and insight into her various industries. She feels like the time is right to share this information, now that she can boast of several successful endeavors.

    “I’m a female entrepreneur who builds seven-figure brands,” said Tabs. “And now, I want to show other women, or anyone who wants to listen, that they can do the same.”

    Robusto Up - A Sexual Power Booster

    Are you experiencing difficulty in prolonging sex? Do you think your sexual stamina or performance is not up to the desired level?

    Don’t worry! You may need a sexual power booster to increase your sexual power and enjoy sexual gratification for a slightly longer period.

    A successful climax relies upon how much stamina you have, as the longer you can keep going, the longer you can build up the excitement. If your sexual power is decreased, you may find it difficult to keep sex going and get to the level required to climax. This can be especially frustrating for both you and the partner, and can lead to a failed relationship if the problems are not fixed as soon as possible. An active and positive sex life is a primary part of any healthy and happy relationship.

    Sexual power or libido tends to decrease with age. So, expecting the same sexual stamina you had in your twenties might remain a dream unless you look for solutions. As you get older, you will not be able to perform as well, as it is a natural part of ageing to decrease your testosterone levels.

    There is a solution that can help to offset and/or slow down this ageing process which affects your sexual health life.

    This ultimate solution comes packed in the form of a bottle, named, Robusto Up.

    How Robusto Up increases Sexual Power?

    Our product, Robusto up is an all-in-one solution to increase sexual power, treat libido and enhance your sexual stamina. It does this through the use of a mixture of herbs and natural products which have been proven to help these issues.

    How does Robusto Up help improve sexual power?

    Let’s find out.

    It contains a very special ingredient that works on prolonging sex and reducing exhaustion until your desires are fulfilled. Ashwagandha, aka the smell of the horse, is a shrub native to India. Its roots are used to produce traditional medicines.

    As the above suggests, it is an extract that gives you enough energy or power to satisfy your demands. Not only that but it also works on treating the cause of decreased sexual power, that is stress, anxiety, depression, or any other disorder that has affected you mentally. These mental effects can definitely affect your performance, and Robusto Up and its natural herbs can help to fix these issues and keep you performing you and your partner.

    Furthermore, Robusto Up contains root extracts of many other herbs that increase testosterone levels and improve fertility. Testosterone is essential to the sex drive and libido, as well as performance in the bedroom. Fertility is associated with your sperm count, and increasing it is important for anyone looking to conceive.

    The energy and power Robusto Up provides are truly remarkable, and are all thanks to natural ingredients. Because these ingredients are natural, you can ensure that you will not have any major side effects which pharmaceuticals are often associated with.

    Give it a try and double-check it yourself!

    Robusto Up

    It is important to keep in mind that our product Robusto Up is not FDA approved. However, its manufacturing was done under strict health standards and the supervision of FDA experts. Therefore, we suggest you consult your doctor first before using it for the first time, to ensure that the natural ingredients used in conjunction with any other medicines you may be using, will not cause adverse effects.

    If you are having sexual performance issues and problems in your sex life, then

    Captain Jako Hall Explains How to Develop Empathy Skills to Improve Your Leadership

    Captain Jako Hall

    Empathy is one of the most critical skills people can learn to become better leaders. As captain Jako Hall explains, displaying empathetic leadership can help hold your team together if times get tough.

    When you display empathy, you show people that you share and understand their feelings. Empathy is not only an important part of daily interactions; it’s critical to emotional intelligence, too.

    In an age when technology is making daily interactions less personal, humans crave connections with kind and caring people. Here are some ways to develop empathy skills that will improve your leadership.

    Tip #1. Listen

    Jako Hall

    An easy way to become more empathetic is to improve your listening skills. When you truly hear what someone else is saying, you’ll allow yourself to relate to their feelings and understand what they’re going through.

    Good listeners encourage ideas to flow freely, present opportunities to create and improve relationships, and build rapport — all of which will help grow a business.

    To become a better listener, you can follow simple rules you learned at a young age. Don’t interrupt people. Eliminate distractions. And pay attention.

    Tip #2. Put Yourself in Others’ Shoes

    Captain Jako Hall Explains How to Develop Empathy Skills

    As a leader, it can be challenging to see things from someone else’s perspective. You run your day-to-day from your perch atop the company and can often forget what it was like to serve in different roles.

    If you want to be a great leader, though, you need to be able to see situations from someone else’s viewpoint. When you truly understand how someone else feels, you’ll be able to make decisions that will help them and guide them through a challenging situation.

    When someone brings a problem or situation to you, you should ask yourself what you would want your manager to do if it were you. Putting yourself in others’ shoes is a great way to be more empathetic.

    Tip #3. Form Solid Bonds

    Jako Hall suggests that all leaders should work

    It’s hard to be empathetic if you don’t have a solid bond with someone. Empathy is all about caring, and it’s challenging to care about people we don’t truly know.

    Jako Hall suggests that all leaders should work to form solid bonds with every team member. It might be difficult to have strong personal bonds with every employee in the company if you have a large business or a large team. That’s okay.

    You can still get to know all the members of your team on a personal level to figure out what motivates them and what makes them tick. When you form solid bonds with people, you’ll facilitate a work culture that encourages open communication and caring among all people.

    If you’re able to create such an environment, you’ll be fostering a culture that solves problems creatively and constructively and has discussions that lead to true innovations.

    To form solid bonds, be more present with your team. Have more conversations about non-work topics such as families, hobbies and histories. Getting to know people personally goes a long way in improving empathy skills.

    About Jako Hall

    Jako Hall is an experienced mariner and a former naval officer known for his strong work ethic and ability to lead and motivate crews. He pursued Maritime Studies at the University of Technology in Cape Town and has received the highest level of training in Navigation and Seamanship during his years in the Navy. After 13 distinguished years in the Navy, Jako joined the superyacht industry, following his passion for creating unique and exclusive experiences for high-net-worth clients. He’s managed multi-million euro projects that required attention to detail and efficiency and has a proven track record of operating at sea in remote and unsupported areas.

     

    From a CEO’s perspective: Victoria Kennedy on How To Attract Top Talent to Your Business

    Victoria Kennedy

    Victoria Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Victorious PR, has achieved major success since the company’s inception. One of the key factors to her firm’s astounding growth and notoriety is her approach to company culture and values.

    Victorious PR was named one of the top PR firms in Las Vegas by Expertise.com, and Kennedy has herself to thank for that. By taking care to hand-select each of her employees, Kennedy has created a family of talent that works together in perfect harmony for the biggest results.

    “We base our hiring decisions on our company values,” said Kennedy. “It is important to us that we find the perfect fit for our team culture with each new hire. If a person has the right resume but won’t mesh well with our current team, neither party will be happy. We seek individuals who are willing to learn, to reinvent, and to grow into new roles – people who are comfortable with being a little uncomfortable in order to discover their best selves.”

    Kennedy’s Talent Wishlist for 2022

    Victorious PR is searching for public relations specialists and brand representatives with a passion for communication and excellence. These representatives, which are chosen based on how their personalities and skills will pair with a client, handle a client’s brand story, organic pitching efforts, podcast placements, and more.

    Newly-hired employees at Victorious PR report high levels of organization and structure, opportunities for growth, numerous networking channels, a strong sense of camaraderie, and a general spirit of enjoyment within the team.

    “Our employees are not afraid to be proud of their accomplishments and talent,” said Kennedy. “My team is stellar, and I can’t wait to add more bright faces to our family. We are a bit of a nerd squad, and by that I mean we are not too shy to be enthusiastic about the work that we do. Every single person on this team has a skill set that adds value to Victorious PR, and I pride myself on making sure that everyone’s responsibilities are clear so that each person can shine.”

    What the CEO Has to Say About Hiring for Your Enterprise

    Kennedy recommends starting with yourself as a baseline. Find out what makes you tick and what is important to you to learn what you require in a new employee.

    “Nail down your core ethics first,” said Kennedy. “A new business starts with its founders as a template for who will join down the line. What are you about? What do you stand for? Answer these questions before looking for talent and you will be prepared with the right lens through which to search.”

    She goes on to stress that an employee-employer relationship is a two-way street. If an employee is unhappy with their environment, their attitude can wreak havoc on their workflow as well as the team’s.

    “Don’t be afraid to ask the tricky questions to prospective hires,” said Kennedy. “I often throw curveballs into my interviews as well as some lifestyle-related questions. I like to see where my future employee’s head is, to gauge whether they will be happy working here. It’s not all about what I think of them, I need to know what they will end up thinking of me!”

    According to Kennedy, the hiring process goes a step past signing the offer letter.

    “My final piece of advice is to continue to ask questions and be observant of your team, well after their hiring date,” Kennedy said. “People change and grow, while others stay stagnant. If your team is excelling but one or two are falling short, you need to find out why that is. Be their champion, provide them with that support that allows them to do their best work moving forward.”

    We can’t wait to see what Victoria Kennedy and her team do next with such growth and opportunity on the horizon. Those interested in applying to join this team of excellence should visit the Victorious PR Linkedin page to apply.

    About Victorious PR

    Victorious PR, an award-winning full-service PR agency, helps impactful leaders and businesses be seen and heard to have a greater influence on the world. CEO Victoria Kennedy is a TEDx speaker and well-respected authority in public relations. To book a call and learn how the company can help you make an impact, visit victoriouspr.com
