GRAMMY Award-winning artists Chris Brown and Usher have officially announced The R&B Tour, a 2026 co-headlining stadium run across North America. Bringing together two of the genre’s defining hitmakers, the tour will deliver a major run of shows across the U.S. and Canada, including right here in Miami! Florida Tour Dates: Thu, Dec 3 | Miami, FL | Hard Rock Stadium | Purchase Tickets Fri, Dec 11 | Tampa, FL | Raymond James Stadium | Purchase Tickets Announced with little warning and a carefully timed teaser, the tour quickly turned into one of the most talked-about live events of the year. Produced by Live Nation, the 33-date run begins in Denver and closes in Tampa. Along the way, it connects cities that have long shaped the genre’s audience. For South Florida, the timing matters. While Miami is not a tour stop, the December 3 show at Hard Rock Stadium sits close enough to feel local. The final date in Tampa, just over a week later, turns the region into a two-stop destination for fans willing to travel for a full experience. It is the kind of itinerary that invites a weekend plan rather than a single night out. Both artists arrive at this tour with recent milestones that reinforce their staying power. Usher’s Past, Present, Future run moved more than a million tickets in North America alone, followed by a strong European leg. Chris Brown closed his Breezy Bowl XX World Tour as the highest-grossing tour of his career, drawing millions and setting a new benchmark for a solo Black male artist. There is also a broader layer to the project. In partnership with Global Citizen, the tour will contribute one dollar per ticket sold to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, tying a global initiative to each seat filled. TICKETS Ticket demand is expected to move quickly, with presales beginning April 21 and general sales opening April 27. VIP packages will offer a more curated experience, from premium seating to behind-the-scenes access. For Miami’s audience, this is less about convenience and more about intention. The short distance to two Florida dates makes the tour feel within reach, but the scale of it suggests something worth planning around. The closing show in Tampa will be hosted at the Raymond James Stadium on Friday, December 11, and you can already purchase your tickets via StubHub here.

Image by DepositPhotos Finding mental health care can feel urgent and overwhelming at the same time. Cost, availability, clinical fit, and insurance rules can affect whether treatment starts quickly or hits a roadblock. Every patient seeks a therapist who respects their symptoms, privacy, and budget. A clear search process reduces missed calls, billing surprises, and mismatched referrals. With the right checks in place, therapy can move from a confusing task to a manageable care decision. Start With Coverage Coverage should be checked before calling several offices. Search tools can filter by carrier, location, specialty, and appointment type. A patient seeking a Blue Cross Blue Shield therapist can compare plan fit, clinical focus, office hours, and visit formats before scheduling, which helps reduce delays and avoid providers outside the active network. Know Plan Basics Every plan sets rules that shape therapy costs. Your member card may list copays, network type, and service numbers. Meanwhile, your insurer’s online portal can show deductibles, coinsurance, session limits, and referral requirements. These details help patients estimate and budget for out-of-pocket costs before intake, especially when weekly care may continue for months. Check Network Status Network status must be carefully checked and confirmed. A therapist may accept a carrier, while a particular plan still pays at out-of-network rates. Patients should verify the exact plan name, member identification number, and visit setting. Office staff can check eligibility, but the insurer gives the final benefit answer. Written notes help if a claim later appears incorrect. Match Care Needs Insurance fit should never be the only measure. A therapist’s training should match the concern, age group, language preference, and treatment goals. Some clinicians focus on panic symptoms, grief, trauma, family conflict, or depression. A better match often leads to clearer treatment planning and stronger attendance after the first session. Compare Visit Types Office visits and video sessions can both support effective care. Virtual appointments may help patients with transportation limits, caregiving duties, or tight work schedules. In-person visits may feel safer for those needing privacy away from home. Coverage can vary by format, so patients should confirm payment rules before choosing either option. Image by DepositPhotos Review Provider Profiles A strong profile offers more than a name and photo. It may show license type, education, treatment areas, accepted ages, languages, and appointment openings. Reviews can reveal communication style, wait times, and office procedures. They should shape questions, not replace clinical judgment. The goal is a shortlist that feels practical and clinically appropriate. Ask Questions Related to Billing Billing questions should be direct. Patients can ask about copays, deductibles, coinsurance, late cancellation fees, and claim submission. Some therapists bill insurance directly, while others provide superbills for possible reimbursement. The insurer can explain the amounts paid, the remaining patient responsibility, and any authorization rules for behavioral health benefits. Confirm Benefits Before Booking Benefits can change during a calendar year. Networks may update, deductibles may reset, and employer plans may revise coverage. A quick check with both the insurer and the therapist’s office reduces avoidable claim problems. Patients should record call dates, staff names, reference numbers, and quoted amounts. Those notes can support later appeals or corrections. Prepare for the Intake The first visit involves filling out forms, reviewing history, setting goals, and signing consent documents. Patients may discuss mood, sleep, appetite, medication, past treatment, safety concerns, and current stressors. Bringing insurance information, identification, and questions saves time. Clear goals help the therapist choose methods that match symptoms, daily functioning, and personal priorities. Watch for Red Flags Early warning signs should not be ignored. Unclear billing, rushed answers, missed messages, or vague treatment plans can signal a poor fit. Patients can look for another provider if communication feels strained or care goals remain unclear. Insurance coverage helps with access, yet trust, respect, and clinical clarity are central to productive therapy. Keep Records Organized Simple records make insurance follow-up easier. Patients can save explanation of benefits forms, receipts, appointment dates, portal messages, and payment records. Organized paperwork helps resolve claim errors faster. It also supports planning for when benefits renew, deductibles restart, or a different therapist becomes necessary after a move or a change in care. Conclusion Finding a therapist who accepts an insurance plan becomes easier with a steady checklist. Patients can begin by verifying coverage, checking network status, comparing clinical fit, and asking clear billing questions. Preparation reduces delays and helps treatment begin with fewer surprises. The right therapist should meet both practical needs and personal goals, while insurance support can make continued sessions more affordable and easier to sustain. By ML Staff.

For most swimwear brands, a Miami Swim Week runway show is a milestone. For Enez Swim founder Stephanie Pope, it was the culmination of a dream more than ten years in the making. This year marked Enez Swim's first appearance at Miami Swim Week, but the brand's story began long before the lights, cameras, and runway. What started as a passion project in her Miami apartment has evolved into a growing swimwear brand known for its bold designs, inclusive sizing, and unapologetically glamorous aesthetic. Stephanie's path to fashion was anything but traditional. A graphic designer and photographer by trade, she never attended fashion school. Instead, she taught herself every aspect of swimwear design, learning through years of experimentation, creativity, and lots of failure. Her background in visual arts became the foundation for a brand that would eventually develop a distinct point of view: swimwear designed for women who want to be seen. "Being creative has always been part of who I am," Stephanie says. "Whether it was graphic design, photography, or fashion, I was always looking for ways to bring ideas to life.” That creative spirit is evident throughout every Enez Swim collection. Known for sparkly fabrics, iridescent finishes, shimmering details, and eye-catching silhouettes, the brand embraces confidence and individuality. Rather than blending in, Enez Swim celebrates standing out. "Our customer isn't afraid of attention," Stephanie explains. "She wants to feel confident, beautiful, and memorable. Every piece is designed to help her shine." While the aesthetic is bold, the brand's mission is rooted in inclusivity. ENEZ Swim offers sizing from XS to XXXL, reflecting Stephanie's belief that confidence should never be limited by size. From the beginning, she wanted to create a brand that made more women feel represented and celebrated. That commitment to inclusivity was on full display at Miami Swim Week, where models of varying sizes showcased the collection on the runway. The momentum behind Enez Swim extends beyond its Miami Swim Week debut. This year, five Enez Swim designs were selected to be featured in the prestigious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show, one of the most highly anticipated events in the swimwear industry. The collection was worn by notable personalities including Alix Earle, Penny Lane, and Stassi Schroeder, further introducing the brand's signature sparkle and statement-making designs to a global audience. For Stephanie, seeing her creations worn by some of today's most recognizable names was another milestone in a year filled with unforgettable moments. "Watching women I admire walk in designs I created was incredibly rewarding," she says. "It's always been my goal to design pieces that make women feel confident and beautiful, and seeing those looks come to life on such an iconic stage was surreal." For Stephanie, however, the most meaningful moment came after the final look had walked the runway. As the music played and the audience applauded, she stepped onto the stage for the designer finale – a moment she had imagined countless times over the past decade. "Walking out at the end was the moment I had been waiting for since I started the brand," she recalls. "Seeing all of the looks together in person on the runway was dreamlike. After years of hard work, it felt like everything had come full circle." Miami Swim Week represented a significant milestone, but for Stephanie, it also felt like the beginning of a new chapter. As Enez Swim continues to expand its reach, the brand remains committed to its core values: confidence, inclusivity, creativity, and self-expression. Looking ahead, Stephanie hopes to continue growing the brand while staying true to what makes it unique. In a sea of swimwear, Enez Swim stands apart by embracing sparkle, color, and individuality – encouraging women to celebrate themselves unapologetically. For a founder who built her brand through passion, persistence, and self-taught creativity, taking the runway at Miami Swim Week was a defining moment. But if the past ten years are any indication, the brightest chapters of the Enez Swim story are still ahead. About Enez Swim ENEZ Swim is a contemporary swimwear brand known for its sparkling fabrics, iridescent finishes, and inclusive sizing ranging from XS to XXXL. Founded by designer Stephanie Pope, the brand creates statement-making swimwear for women who want to stand out, feel confident, and shine both on and off the beach.

Revello Modern Mixers, the Miami-born brand founded by Matt Teitelbaum, is expanding its footprint across Florida through Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. The growth brings Revello's lineup of clean-label mixers, infused with electrolytes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, to restaurants, bars, hotels, and retailers statewide. Consumers can also purchase Revello through Amazon, making the brand accessible both on-premise and at home. As consumers increasingly seek products that align with more mindful lifestyles without sacrificing quality or flavor, Revello is positioning itself as a modern alternative in the mixer category. In this exclusive interview with Miami Living, Teitelbaum discusses the inspiration behind the brand, why Miami played a key role in its development, the growing demand for better mixers, and his vision for creating what he calls the “modern mixer” category. Miami Living: Revello was created from your own search for a more balanced way to enjoy a great drink. What did you feel was missing from the mixer category? Matt Teitelbaum: The idea hit me in a cold plunge, part of my near-daily routine. We'd had friends over the night before, enjoyed a few cocktails, and the next morning I was sitting in the water when the whole concept just landed. I got out freezing, but the chill down my spine was the idea, not the water. I started researching the category that day and couldn't believe nothing like it existed. Consumers had evolved, but mixers hadn't. I've always believed in everything in moderation, and I wanted a product that reflected that philosophy. Something that tasted incredible but felt more aligned with how people live today. That's what Revello became: the modern mixer. Miami Living: As a Miami-born brand now expanding across Florida with Southern Glazer's, how has the city helped shape Revello? Matt Teitelbaum: Miami is a city where people train hard in the morning and go out hard at night, and they never see those things as opposites. People here care about what they eat, what they drink, and how they live, but they also know how to enjoy themselves. There's no contradiction between wellness and celebration. Miami was recently named one of the most wellness-focused cities in America, while Miami Beach remains one of the country's premier nightlife destinations. In many ways, that balance is exactly what Revello represents. I don't think Revello could have been born anywhere else. And with Southern Glazer's behind us, we're able to bring the brand across Florida with a level of reach that usually takes years to build. Miami Living: The mixers are made with clean ingredients, balanced sweetness, and added electrolytes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. How did you approach creating a more thoughtful mixer without losing the taste and experience people expect? Matt Teitelbaum: Taste came first. Always. Our philosophy was simple: if improving the nutrition compromised the flavor even slightly, it didn't make the cut. We spent an enormous amount of time finding that balance, keeping calories and sugar as low as possible while still delivering a mixer that works beautifully in a cocktail and tastes great on its own. That's really what “Mix With Benefits” means: better ingredients without giving up the experience. Miami Living: The initial lineup includes six mixers, from tonic water and ginger beer to sparkling grapefruit and lemon. How did you decide which products to include? Matt Teitelbaum: We started with the classics because that's what people already reach for. The goal wasn't to invent another trendy flavor. It was to modernize the staples that sit behind almost every great cocktail and mocktail. Innovation isn't always about invention. Sometimes it's about making something familiar better. Miami Living: More consumers are choosing to drink less, but drink better. How do you see Revello fitting into the growing interest in cocktails, mocktails, and more mindful drinking? Matt Teitelbaum: People don't think in categories anymore. One night it's a cocktail. The next it's a mocktail. They want both experiences to feel equally thoughtful and equally elevated. Revello was built for that lifestyle. The ritual stays the same. The only thing changing is what's in the glass. Miami Living: Designed for both restaurants and home use, what do you think consumers are looking for today when they order a drink out or make one at home? Matt Teitelbaum: I've always found it interesting that people proudly name their spirit but almost never their mixer. I don't think that's because mixers don't matter. I think it's because nobody has ever given consumers a reason to care. That's what we're trying to change with better taste, cleaner ingredients, thoughtful design, and familiar flavors. It's the kind of product people are proud to put on the bar cart instead of hiding behind it. Miami Living: Finally, what is your favorite way to enjoy Revello, and what are you most excited about as the brand continues to grow? Matt Teitelbaum: My favorite is Sparkling Grapefruit with a quality tequila for a clean Paloma. But I enjoy all six varieties, whether they're mixed into a cocktail, enjoyed in a mocktail, or simply poured over ice. What excites me most is watching someone try Revello for the first time and immediately understand what we're trying to do. It's usually followed by the same question: “Why hasn't this existed before?” That's the reaction we're chasing. We didn't set out to make another mixer. We set out to create the modern mixer category and lead it. This is just the beginning. By ML Staff | Photos courtesy of Revello Modern Mixers

Event staffing can look straightforward on a spreadsheet, then fall apart once noise, heat, and long lines strain attention. Guests notice rushed greetings, unclear product explanations, or sloppy sampling hygiene within minutes. In fast-paced markets like Miami, where outdoor events and high foot traffic are common, these issues surface even faster. Teams get better results by defining duties early, screening for temperament, and protecting worker stamina during peak traffic. Those looking to connect with experienced Miami promo models can avoid many of these pitfalls with the right planning. The sections below cover common missteps, plus practical fixes that keep performance steady from first entry to teardown. Image by DepositPhotos Mistake 1: Treating “Promo” as One Role “Promo” covers greeting, crowd flow, product teaching, and lead capture, each calling for different strengths. A single label hides needs like clear diction, steady affect, and comfort with tablets under pressure. During planning, teams should match roles to people who offer calm presence, consistent pacing, and polished guest interaction across long, high-sensory shifts. Mistake 2: Skipping Brand Fit Screening A polished photo set says little about coping skills during conflict, noise, or repeated rejection. Screening should check punctual habits, verbal clarity, and whether the person can follow boundaries without sounding rigid. Scenario prompts help, such as correcting a false claim or de-escalating a frustrated attendee. Reference calls matter when they confirm early call times, device reliability, and steady focus. Mistake 3: Underestimating Training Time A quick script handoff often leads to mixed messaging, risky claims, and uneven data capture. Training should cover approved language, contraindications if sampling applies, and phrases that must be avoided. Demo handling needs practice, including hand hygiene, glove changes, and surface wipe timing. Tablet workflows should get a supervised run-through, plus a short competency check before doors open. Mistake 4: Hiring Without Clear Metrics Vague goals make staffing guesswork and performance hard to evaluate. Useful measures include qualified conversations per hour, accurate form completion, scan totals, or demo-to-signup conversion. Targets should match venue conditions like aisle width, peak surges, and sound levels that force closer speaking. Clear numbers also protect voice health, because pacing prevents shouting and reduces throat irritation. Mistake 5: Ignoring Labor and Break Planning Fatigue shows up as slower reaction time, missed details, and reduced patience. Schedules need planned breaks, water access, and rotations for high-output positions. Local rules, venue policies, and contract terms should be reviewed before the roster locks. Call times must include setup, briefings, and device checks. A relief plan prevents gaps when delays or headaches occur. Heat and amplified music raise cortisol, which shortens tempers and disrupts fine motor control. A reset space with electrolyte packets, throat lozenges, and a simple check-in log helps supervisors spot burnout before it affects safety. Image by DepositPhotos Mistake 6: Overlooking On-Site Leadership Even skilled staff can drift without a lead who coaches, monitors timing, and fixes problems early. A point person can correct approach distance, track supply levels, and handle escalations quietly. Short check-ins keep quality consistent and reduce stress accumulation. When the lead has real authority, small issues get contained, which protects both guest experience and worker nervous-system load. Mistake 7: Forgetting Cultural and Language Needs Miami crowds can vary widely in language, greeting norms, and comfort with touch or photos. A mismatch can lower trust, even with good intent. Coverage should be planned using attendee profiles and venue context, not assumptions. Staff need approved translations for claims and disclaimers. Brief guidance on consent, personal space, and respectful humor prevents awkward moments during sampling or raffles. Mistake 8: Leaving Logistics to Chance Performance drops when shoes cause blisters, uniforms restrict movement, or tablets die mid-rush. A checklist should confirm wardrobe fit, weather planning, parking details, and badge pickup steps. Power backups reduce risk, including chargers, spare cables, and printed forms for fail-safe capture. Supply counts should include spillage, waste, and sanitizer. A clear contact tree speeds fixes when something breaks. Conclusion Promo talent can elevate a booth when planning respects human limits and real venue stressors. Strong outcomes follow from clear role design, fit screening, accurate training, and measurable targets. Break structure, hydration access, and on-site leadership protect attention, mood, and voice quality during long shifts. By avoiding these mistakes, teams reduce operational risk, support staff wellbeing, and leave with cleaner leads plus stronger recall. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of DepositPhotos

Miami is brimming with skilled video production companies. They do everything from branded films and corporate interviews to real estate tours, healthcare ads, event shots, and social media content. The city's production crew variety matches the diversity of its businesses perfectly. Photo by Kyle Loftus, Unsplash Picking the right company has nothing to do with the biggest name or flashiest reel. It comes down to what you need, who you're talking to, and what the video has to deliver. Some companies are stronger in corporate storytelling. Others are better suited for real estate, healthcare, commercials, events, social media, animation, or aerial production. That is why this guide categorizes the best Miami video production companies by specialty rather than ranking them as if every project had the same goal. For readers comparing Florida-wide production options, Miami Living Magazine has also covered a broader list of top video production companies in Florida, which can be useful if your project may involve multiple cities across the state. Below is an editorially selected guide to some of the best Miami video production companies based on what they do best. How We Selected These Miami Video Production Companies Miami Living Magazine reviewed the companies in this guide based on editorial criteria, not paid placement or search rankings. We looked at each company's core specialty, portfolio focus, industry experience, local market presence, production capabilities, pre- and post-production support, brand communication quality, and how clearly they serve a specific type of client. None of these companies fit every project. But each one leads in a specific area, so the aim is to help match your project with the right team. We want to guide you, not just give a generic ranking and hope you figure it out yourself. 1.

How to Choose the Right Miami Video Production Company The best fit depends on what you're making. A real estate video, a TikTok ad, and a medical training video all need different teams. Before hiring, ask: Do they specialize in your type of video? Match their strength to your project. Not every company does everything well. Does their portfolio match the quality you want? Look at lighting, audio, editing, and storytelling in work similar to yours. Can they help with planning and scripting? The right partner shapes the message before the camera turns on. Do they understand your business goal? A good video builds trust, drives leads, or moves people to act, not just looks good. What deliverables are included? Ask about social cutdowns, vertical formats, captions, revisions, raw footage, and export formats. How do they handle revisions? Know how many rounds are included and what extra changes cost. Are they clear about pricing? A professional company should explain where your budget is going, no surprises. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring a Miami Video Production Company Choosing the wrong production partner can delay your project and muddy your message. If you do not receive good audio or editing, the final video will not be what you wanted. So don’t make these common mistakes. Choosing solely based on the lowest bid. Cheap production often skimps on the scripting, lighting, sound engineering, and post-production strategy, the steps that make or break a video. Hiring a general videographer for a specialized project. A great wedding or real estate shooter doesn't automatically have the directorial experience to run corporate interviews, medical training shoots, or direct-response ad campaigns. Overlooking audio infrastructure. High-definition visuals can't save poor sound. For interviews, testimonials, and corporate presentations, crisp audio is arguably more critical to viewer retention than camera resolution. Failing to plan for multi-platform formats. A single horizontal cut limits your reach. Your production agreement should explicitly cover vertical crops, short teasers, captions, and platform-specific exports. Prioritizing style over message. A visually stunning video with a weak narrative won't convert. The right production company anchors your brand story during pre-production, before a single camera is set up. Neglecting to audit project-specific portfolios. Don't skip auditing project-specific portfolios. Assuming general creativity means a team is good? That doesn't always work. Always check their past work, like your corporate, medical, or commercial stuff. Final Thoughts Miami has a strong video production market with teams covering nearly every business need. The right choice comes down to one thing: matching the company's specialty to your project. Each company in this guide has a different specialty, from corporate storytelling and healthcare production to real estate, events, animation, and aerial cinematography. Your best choice will depend on your project’s goals, audience, budget, and distribution plan. Start with your goal. Whether it's a commercial, healthcare video, real estate walkthrough, social ad, event recap, drone footage, or animated explainer, Miami has the right team for it. By ML Staff.

Aman is showcasing a series of wellness experiences centered on water across its global resorts, alongside the summer reopening of Aman Sveti Stefan in Montenegro and the upcoming debut of Amanvari in Mexico. Water-based rituals remain central to Aman’s wellness offering in Bali, where the Melukat Water Blessing ceremony near Amandari takes place at dawn. Drawing on the revered natural springs of Tirta Empul, the ritual is intended to wash away stress and support spiritual renewal. Amandari offers guests access to this traditional experience as part of its broader focus on mindful journeys connected to water. In the United States, Amangiri in Utah’s Red Rock Country features Aqua Shiatsu, a restorative treatment in a warm pool where stretching and massage are supported by gentle movement in the water. In Bhutan, Amankora’s Paro Lodge has introduced riverside Banya and Hammam Spa Houses that use hydrotherapy treatments to make the most of the site’s natural setting. Amangiri and Amankora continue to expand their spa programs with treatments that keep water at the center of the guest experience. At Amanemu in Japan, thermal springs and traditional watsu sessions use mineral-rich hot spring water in private pools surrounded by nature. The resort’s onsen facilities are fed by local springs that are known for their high mineral content, reinforcing the role of hydrotherapy in its wellness program. Amanemu integrates these treatments into longer stays that focus on rest and recovery. Aman Sveti Stefan on Montenegro’s western coast will reopen for the summer season from 1 July, combining the year-round Villa Miločer with a restored private island. In Mexico, Amanvari on Baja’s East Cape is scheduled to open on 1 August, positioned between the Sierra de la Laguna mountains and the Sea of Cortés as a base for exploration along the coastline.
