Gen was born in Canada but basically grew up totally in Florida. Her parents or in real estate and Contracting and neither of those appealed to Gen.

At 16 Gen was looking for a job and she started working for Amy the former owner of Botanica Day Spa. She did errands and anything that was needed. But during this period of time she got her license at 18 years old and at 22 years old the spa became available for sale. She was able to purchase a spot this time and has owned and operated it ever since. It's interesting to note that Botanica Day Spa is the first Spa  opened in Clearwater.

So in the meantime she went to trade schools and got her license at Loraine's Academy in St Petersburg.

 

Gen works with the world literacy Crusade and with the winter wonderland in Clearwater as part of her charity outreach.

 

As Botanica Day Spa is very busy, it's probably a good idea to get your appointment in advance. Call 727-441-1711 or go to 700 Court Street Clearwater, Florida 33756.

So your preference might be massage, facials, eyelashes, manicures and pedicures, hair removal, private parties, bridal showers, or any of their spa packages.

I think that Gen's goal of helping people look good, feel good and create Wellness are in line with what people say about her business. And that would be what people note in their blog articles. " The people who work there are so nice and they really care ".

Jason Holcombe is the grandson of the founder of THG Rental and Sales.  Jason’s grandfather opened the doors in 1974 when Jason was only four years old. Jason could barely crawl up on one of them mowers in those days.

Jason spent a lot of time between Florida and California, living in California with his mother in the winter and living in Florida with his father the summer at the rental yard.

 

After working in the banking industry, along with other things and getting his degree in business and administration Jason decided to go to work for his father in Clearwater at the rental yard.  Probably giving up scuba diving in Humboldt and Fort Bragg, California was the hardest part of the move. He still misses freshly caught abalone and salmon from the Pacific Ocean.

Another of Jason’s loves are working with ARC, Tampa Bay Special Needs Down Syndrome Association. He also works with the boys and girls club of Humboldt. I’m sure that anything they need THG Rental and Sales will be able to provide it as they have everything (maybe a little exaggeration here).

THG Rental and Sales Proudly Serves, Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco Counties. Their equipment Showroom is Located in Clearwater, Florida and they will Deliver anywhere in the Tampa Bay Area.

THG Rental and Sales stands for quality and dependable rental equipment.  They have superior sales and the highest quality customer service.

You can contact THG Rental and Sales at 1886 N. Hercules Ave, Clearwater, Florida 33765.  And their phone number is 727-461-7511.

If you’ve been dying to try one of those ride on mowers that will turn on a dime that the commercial more people use, you can rent one of them right here. A Brand-new John Deere mower.

                

Here are some pictures of additional equipment that THG Rental and Sales rents

             

You have to call Jason to find out what they are and what they do but they sure look powerful. I’m not sure they are for use in your living room.

Jason’s number at THG Rental and Sales is 727-461-7511. If you have any questions you can always ask Jason because I think he’s going to be around for another hundred years (my last exaggeration).

House of Make-Believe is a family-owned, family-operated local business. The owner, Bernice Stoneburg was born and raised here in Pinellas County and Hillsborough County. Her parents were both military and she was born at McDill Air Force Base.

 

Her mother, Yvonne and grandmother, Trudi started the costume rental business in 1978.  Bernice's grandmother taught her how to sew and she made her first dress with a zipper in it at the age of 10. Sewing has been in her blood all her life.

As a matter of fact, sewing is so much in her blood, that she makes 75% of the costumes herself.  She really wants to keep the Legacy from her mother and grandmother alive, right here in Clearwater.

          

You could consider that Bernice is a part of this community. This is made evident by all of the things she does for the community. She gives to schools and theater groups, local theatre projects, projects by the students, and anybody else who really needs attention. She mentors young people to help them learn how to sew so they can do sewing projects for themselves.

Her mother was the winner of 2 STAR awards. That stands for Suncoast Theatre Alliance Renovation.  An important thing to note here is that Bernice's mother loved history and the costumes are a reflection of that history. She knows the stories behind the costumes from any era. Every costume that is made has a researched history behind it. This guarantees the authenticity of the costume.

Recently the King of Sarsaparilla wanted an outfit for the King of Thrones and Bernice researched and found the perfect example and made a King Joffrey outfit that was unbelievable.  You can see it here below.

Another good example of this was a company who wanted to have authentic costumes made for Star Wars. They were having an event that needed authentic Star Wars costumes. Every costume came out perfect. So no matter whether it's a special event or Halloween you can get the costume you want and need.

         

The costume headpiece is also custom made by Bernice and House of Make-Believe. These head pieces are made of a very sturdy plastic substance and once again they are also researched before they're created. You really get a nice headpiece and I have attached a couple of pictures so you can see.

   

House of Make-Believe will also deliver costumes to an event at a local hotel Etc.

I think the things that set her business apart or the fact that they do not used packaged costumes but make their costumes so they're more authentic with more quality. You hate up store bought costume to fall apart right in the middle of the Halloween costume party. She also has variety as well as quality. Another important feature is that Bernice will personally tailor the outfit to you.

One last thing we need to let people know is that were moving from Hercules over to 2140 Range Road Suite B, Clearwater Florida 33765. Our telephone number is remaining the same 727-446-1890.

They also have Free pharmacy home delivery and Free counseling services.

 

At Bay Life Pharmacy, their mission is to provide expert medication services while functioning as an active partner in your health-care needs. Their core priorities are ….compliance, accuracy, expediency, availability, and professionalism.

MORE THAN JUST A PHARMACY…THEY CARE!

When you meet the CEO, John Watkins, you will see why this pharmacy is so well-liked and frequented. He was born and raised in Indiana, Chicago Bears fan, and grew up on KFC since his father owned a franchise. Growing up in a small place he knew what a small, independent business meant to their customers.

Is very community oriented also and works with the Pinellas County Housing Authority as well as the High Point community center. He treats all his employees as family. And last but not least he has a great sense of humor. He opened his East Bay store on the 12th day, the 12 month, the 12 year, the 12 hour and the 12 minute of 2012. Don’t you think they need an award for this guy?

 

I asked, who was behind all of this “care about patients” and “be the best you can” and Lila popped up and said “me”. you really have to meet her also.

Compounding , Something Few Pharmacies Have

Compounding is the practice of preparing custom prescription formulas to fit the individualized care for each patient. Bay Life Pharmacy compounded drugs are made by precisely mixing together prescription, non-prescription and/or natural ingredients, to create a formulation which is not readily available.

Don’t stop your medication – Simply change it with compounding.

Bay Life Pharmacy can customize how your medications are packaged to fit your lifestyle.

The Compounding Solution for Pets/Animals

As any pet owner is well aware, animals can be extremely difficult to treat with medications.  Cats are notorious for refusing to swallow pills, and usually will eat right around pill that is disguised in food.  Dosages can be very tricky for dogs. A dose of medication that works for a 75-pound German Sheppard may be far too much for a six-pound Pomeranian to handle. 

 

Options to Choose

Ointments, Creams, Gels, Tablets, Trouche/Lozenges, Syringes, Capsules, Suspensions, Solutions, Lollipops, Balms, Suppositories, Nasal preparations, Pastes, Sprays and Transdermal.  If one of these don’t work, I don’t know what will.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

 We will work directly with your doctors to get the medical products you need as quickly as possible.  If we do not have the product in stock we will put it in our inventory.  Keeping things simple and convenient for you is what we do!

PEDIATRIC COMPOUNDING

It’s no secret that most kids don’t like taking medicine. From flavoring medications to make them taste better, to providing individualized strengths and dosage forms, a compounding pharmacist can help make medication time easier and less stressful for your child – and you!

 

We work together with Pediatricians, families, and their children to customize pediatric medications and meet specific needs.
Children pose many challenges when it comes to medication: they may resist having to take a medication, dislike the taste or texture, have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, and are fearful of injections. Most medications are not labeled for pediatric populations, and when a medication is not approved for use in infants and children, it usually is not available in a suitable pediatric dosage form.

Bay Life Pharmacy can and does make taking medication fun again and not the dreaded reputation it has had in the past.

You must visit Bay Life Pharmacy.

Your Go To For Specialty Sheet Metal Fabrication

Dunrite Metal was founded in 1989 by David M Lingenfelter. He is a third generation sheet metal fabricator. He was born in Niagara Falls NY. After graduating high school he attended college and majored in electrical engineering. He found this to be a bit tiresome and needed more of a challenge for his creative heart. He then started working as an apprentice in the sheet metal field. He worked along side his father, Donald Lingenfelter on extremely large factory projects. He also worked with his grandfather Don Argy (Argy and Son’s Sheet Metal) in Niagara Falls NY. He was very committed to becoming a full journeymen in his trade. When he completed his apprenticeship he was headhunted by a number of large companies to become senior tradesmen for their companies. The cold winters became to much for him and he needed a change of scenery, which implored him to move him and his newlywed wife, Kat, to sun shiny Largo, FL.    Upon moving down they had little to start with and David had to do what he could to make ends meet. He found a couple of labor jobs and did what he had to do to prosper for him and his growing family. Finally after a tireless search for something solid he ended up at Tack and Warren sheet metal in downtown Clearwater, FL. After proving his worth to his new company he was promoted to the sheet metal shop supervisor. They set new goals and he smashed them. They told him quotas and he exceeded them. He was now not only knowledgeable in the trade of sheet metal but was becoming rather acclimated in the business aspect. This spurred him to start to imagine a company where he was in control of the entire process. This in turn brought about the creation of Dunrite Metal Fabricators, Inc.

   David and his then partner, Steve, incorporated Dunrite Metal Fabricators, Inc. in 1989. They had a humble beginning in a small 1500 square foot shop and specialized in layout and bodywork. This led to all sorts of exciting avenues to be discovered. They did stretch limo modifications and all sorts of custom projects. They were becoming a go to in the area for specialty sheet metal fabrication. As the years passed the partnership fizzled and Steve was bought out of his contract.

   Now this is where things get interesting. David now had full control of the direction of DMF, Inc. David had a new energetic resolute to get to the next level. More employees were hired/trained and set loose on all sorts of really eccentric projects ranging from gigantic copper dome caps to custom desalinization machines for the United States government. This gave David a very great sense of accomplishment, he not only was a success in his chosen field but he was employing more than 20 people with an above average track record.
   The years went by with all forward motion. This led to having to increase the production facility to a twenty thousand square foot complex in Clearwater, FL.

Dunrite Are A Premier Fabrication Facility Celebrating 28 Years In The Industry

   "As of 2017 Dunrite Metal Fabricators Inc. celebrated 28 years in business. We have withstood financial pitfalls in the economy, extremely trying projects, and some business hiccups. Nevertheless, we are tougher, more diligent, and industry intelligent from all we have experienced. We have roots in the Pinellas County area. We are a premier fabrication facility.
   If there is a project that the other metal houses can not handle, we are here to consult, design, and fabricate. With a complete sense of confidence that there is nothing we cannot make."

Dunrite Metal Fabricators, Inc. is now being run by David’s son Levi.  Levi is full of enthusiasm and love for this business that his father started.  He is a hands-on manager. His son even wants to be part of the business when he grows up.

Levi reads a book a week so that he will be the most knowledgeable person in the metal fabricating industry as well as the powder coating industry.

Levi is active several charities in the area. One of his favorite is the power tool races.

Because Levi gives added value to all his work, he has been able to get work on the SpaceX program for Elon Musk as well as other important people. He goes that extra mile.

Our hats off to Dunrite Metal Fabricators for their dedication to the local area, to the state to this country. Their family values and traditions are what makes this country strong something we can be proud of.
