Construction has officially begun on Seventeen Gables Residences, a 117-unit condominium development located at 1715 Douglas Road in Coral Gables. The project is being developed by BAM Development and Ascendra Capital, which recently secured a $60 million loan as construction moves forward alongside the sales launch. The groundbreaking marks a step forward for a project that is moving ahead without relying on a traditional pre-sales threshold. The development team is advancing construction concurrently with sales, reflecting confidence in both the project and market demand. Seventeen Gables will offer one, two, and three-bedroom residences, with prices starting in the mid $600,000s. The development is positioned near Miracle Mile and targets buyers seeking new construction options in a central Coral Gables location. Interiors are designed by Karen Asprea and Asprea Studios, who serve as the design architect and interior designer for the project. Planned amenities include a fitness center, sauna, pool, resident lounge, and co-working spaces. Seventeen Gables combines residential design with shared spaces intended for daily use and social interaction. Located at 17th Street and Douglas Road, the project offers access to Coral Gables dining and retail, along with connectivity to Brickell, Downtown Miami, and Miami International Airport. The project is expected to be completed by Q1 2028. Residence interiors focus on open layouts and functional design. Sales and marketing are being handled by Cervera Real Estate. More information, including availability and floor plans, can be found on the Seventeen Gables website. By ML Staff. Photos/BAM Development & Ascendra Capital

Choosing the right pressure washer for cleaning your car at home comes down to balancing power, control, and ease of use. The goal is to find a machine that removes dirt effectively without damaging paint, trim, or delicate surfaces. Many buyers assume more pressure automatically means better cleaning results, but car care is a bit more nuanced. Too much force can strip wax or even damage finishes, while too little may leave grime behind. The best choice depends on how often you clean your vehicle, the type of dirt you deal with, and how comfortable you are handling different pressure settings. With that in mind, breaking down the key features makes the decision much easier to navigate. Pressure Washer for Car Cleaning: PSI and Power Basics Understanding PSI is the first step in choosing the right pressure washer. PSI, or pounds per square inch, determines how much force the water stream delivers to the surface. For car cleaning, lower to mid-range PSI is usually ideal because it provides enough power to remove dirt without risking damage to paintwork or seals. A useful way to think about PSI selection is: 1200 to 1900 PSI for light car washing 2000 PSI for tougher grime Higher PSI for driveway or outdoor cleaning Using the correct PSI helps maintain control while still achieving a thorough clean. Pairing pressure with the right nozzle makes an even bigger difference in performance. Choosing a Pressure Washer for Home Use Selecting a machine designed for home use ensures better safety, convenience, and usability for everyday car cleaning tasks. Home-use pressure washers are typically electric, which makes them quieter, lighter, and easier to maintain than petrol models. Buyers comparing pressure washers for home use should pay close attention to PSI ranges, nozzle compatibility, storage space, and ease of maintenance to avoid choosing a machine that is unnecessarily powerful for routine vehicle cleaning. These models also offer more controlled pressure levels, which are especially helpful for beginners. Electric models are often preferred for vehicle care because they reduce the risk of applying excessive force. Petrol units, while powerful, are usually better suited for large-scale outdoor cleaning rather than detailed car washing. Key advantages of home-use models include: Easier setup and storage Consistent water pressure Lower maintenance needs Safer operation for beginners Choosing a unit designed for home environments helps reduce guesswork and makes routine car cleaning more efficient and manageable. Nozzle Types and Their Role in Safe Car Cleaning Nozzles play a major role in controlling how water is applied to your vehicle. Each nozzle type changes the spray pattern, which directly affects cleaning performance and safety. Wider spray angles are generally safer for cars because they distribute pressure more evenly across surfaces. Narrow jets should be used carefully, as they can be too concentrated for painted areas. Common nozzle options include: 40-degree nozzle for gentle washing 25-degree nozzle for moderate cleaning Foam cannon for soap application Adjustable nozzle for versatility Foam cannons are especially useful because they help loosen dirt before rinsing. This reduces the need for aggressive spraying and lowers the risk of surface damage. Electric vs Petrol Models for Car Cleaning Electric and petrol pressure washers both have strengths, but their use cases differ significantly when it comes to car care. Electric models are generally the better choice for home car washing due to their controlled output and user-friendly design. They are also more compact and easier to store in garages or sheds. Petrol models, on the other hand, offer higher power levels but can be excessive for standard vehicle cleaning. Their strength is better suited for heavy-duty outdoor work like driveways or fences. When comparing the two, consider: Ease of use Maintenance requirements Noise levels Pressure control Most home users find electric models more than sufficient for keeping cars clean without risking damage or unnecessary complexity. Final Considerations When Choosing Your Pressure Washer Selecting the right pressure washer ultimately comes down to matching power with precision. A well-balanced unit will make regular car cleaning faster, safer, and more enjoyable. Focusing on PSI, nozzle versatility, and whether the model is designed for home environments helps narrow down the best options quickly. Consistency and control matter more than raw power when it comes to protecting your vehicle’s finish. Comparing pressure washer features carefully helps homeowners choose a setup that balances cleaning performance, safety, and ease of use for routine car care. With the right setup, maintaining a clean car becomes less of a chore and more of a simple routine. By ML staff. Image courtesy of Pexels.

Does it happen to you that if you sit down to relax, your brain immediately goes: Is it my turn to do the dishes? Were my kids around long enough today? Am I a bad mom now? So, this blog is dedicated to all those moms who become guilty as soon as she puts herself first. To all the women who no longer know what she even likes anymore. To all mothers who give 100% to others and nothing to themselves. It's time to talk about it. Really talk about it. Why Moms Need "Me Time" — And This Is Not Up for Debate This is why moms should have it in particular, and they badly need it: You cannot fill an Empty Cup We are left with nothing to offer when we are tired, exhausted, and only have caffeine and the power of will to go. We shout at the children. We tune out whilst speaking. We move through the process without being there. The cup is replenished with me time. It reinvigorates the nervous system. It prepares us to be good at all things, including being a mom. Your Personality Is Greater Than Mom There was a person there before the kids. One who had interests, aspirations, likes, and a character that had nothing to do with the needs of another person. That person didn't disappear. She has just been buried. You can lose yourself without time to think about yourself when you are not in your role. Stress Does Not Go Away in Time This is not a drama. This is medical. Moms suffer when they do not rest, when they are always on the go: Greater anxiety and irritability. Difficulty in sleeping despite being tired. Weakened immune system. Increase in burnout and depression risks. Loneliness to people whom they love. Personal time and rest are not a nice-to-have. They are medical needs. Your Children are Staring at You Children observe our treatment of ourselves to learn how to treat themselves. When they are raised observing their mom always sacrificing, never resting, never doing anything for herself, then that is their model. Daughters are taught to be over-givers. The sons are taught to anticipate it. All Right, So What Do You Do With Me Time? This is where many moms are stumped. After having given all your life to thinking of others first, you truly lose track of what you like. Me time sounds so good in theory, and then you are sitting there and wondering... now what? These are some actual, feasible ideas. No elaborate budget needed. No leisure time required. Do What Feels Good with Your Body Not punishment. I have to lose weight. Right action that is pleasant to you. A 30-minute walk while listening to your favourite music. Dance lesson of your dreams. Yoga in the morning because I was awake very early in the morning. Anything that brings us to life — swimming, cycling, hiking. Get Back to What You Loved Think back. Before kids. What was your favorite thing? Reading? Pick up a book. A real one. No parenting book. Preparing food with no apparent reason, out of the imaginative קוקש. Drawing, writing, gardening, and crafting. A dusty instrument just sitting around, wondering Do not worry about how productive it might be. It need not go anywhere. It only needs to be like you. Something Beautiful to See More moms are looking to jewelry as a personal milestone — a marker of a chapter, a challenging year, a version of themselves — that they were glad to survive. One very trendy engagement ring at the moment is a lab-grown diamond ring. It sparkles, it glitters, it dances into the hearts of people, and it shines as bright as any diamond. The only difference? OK, but still, it's a lab-grown diamond, which means it is way more environmentally friendly and also relatively inexpensive. Another ring worth knowing about is a moissanite ring. Moissanite is one of the brightest stones on the market - people claim that it shines even more than diamonds do. It is extremely strong, less expensive, and, frankly, it is beautiful. Surround Yourself with Full-of-Life People Not all social interactions are invigorating. Some individuals suck us out. Find those not. The friends who laugh till your stomach aches. The talks that make you feel rather light, not heavy. An hour with the right person is worth more than a week of enforced self-care routines. Do Nothing at all - And Be Satisfied The radicalest thing that a mom could sometimes do is to sit and do nothing. No phone. No tasks. No half-hearing of something in the background. Just stillness. It is not comfortable initially. That's normal. Nevertheless, the stillness is where much of the stress literally gets out of the body. A Last Word to the Mom Reading This So much you are doing. More than you are likely to credit to yourself. And doing too much is not necessarily that you have to feel nothing about yourself. It does not imply that it is necessary to place your happiness, your sleep, and your personality on hold forever. You need your time, your time alone. You have the right to laugh without having to consider your next step. You have the right to wear something beautiful because. You have a right to all guilt-free rest. Not someday. When nothing is put to rest. Not when the children are older. By ML Staff. Photo courtesy of Rosec Jewels
