Healthy Drink Seoul Juice Wins the Hearts of Parents and Kids

The Chicago Journal Staff on August 4, 2022

People are increasingly choosing to live a healthy lifestyle. Making healthy choices, however, may be more difficult than people think due to a lack of options on the market. Fortunately, Seoul Juice has already arrived and is taking over the Chicago marketplace. With so many sports drinks adding sugars and colors to their goods, Seoul Juice has also become a popular choice among athletes.

Seoul Juice is the first Korean Pear Juice that is as healthy as it is tasty and has been a top-selling product across the USA since its launch not so long ago. The Seoul Juice team is excited to announce its expansion into multiple Chicago area retailers, where people can now find them in all Pete’s Fresh Market locations, Fresh Farms locations, and Standard Market in Westmont. 

Because Chicago is one of the country’s major culinary capitals, Luis Manta rushed to get Seoul Juice goods into stores in the area as quickly as possible. The company has an excellent distribution partner in the region, Pod Foods, which has helped build its business. Jonathan Svigos, Fresh Farms Market’s Vice President of Store Operations, was instrumental in bringing Seoul Juice to the market. He noticed how well the product was performing in Southern California and advocated for its introduction in Chicago. Seoul Juice has become more accessible to potential customers thanks to the assistance of another buyer, Leno Asuncion, at Pete’s Fresh Market. 

Seoul Juice was founded and created by Luis Manta, a college athlete who realized a need for qualified health and natural drink solutions for other athletes. After that, he transitioned from athletics to entrepreneurship and has never looked back since.

Luis was born in Carol Stream, which gave him strong ties to the community. He liked visiting Chicago, which he considered a wonderful city with an incredible cultural and cuisine scene, which also played a part in his decision to bring Seoul Juice to the market. The drink was originally founded in St. Louis, where they have a sizable and dedicated following across the Midwest. With the help of their Chicago clients, they were able to set up distribution and get the product into local retailers.

What distinguishes Seoul Juice from other beverages on the market is that it has half the sugar of apple juice and twice the potassium of a banana. As a result, the drink has become a favorite of both children and parents. Many frequent customers refer to Seoul Juice as “healthy apple juice,” which makes sense, given that the Korean Pear is also known as the apple pear.

Seoul Juice is popular among parents since it has only three natural ingredients and tastes delicious. Many parents have expressed gratitude to Luis and his crew for inventing a clean product that helps address their children’s “picky eater concerns.”

Luis and his crew have many more fresh ideas for the next year that they hope will grow awareness about their product. Through the next few months, he hopes that the Seoul Juice will fall into the hands of those who will enjoy the drink from the first sip. That said, the team is extremely keen to get the product to market. With their current goal of having Seoul Juice in as many areas as possible, their main mission is to urge as many people as possible to try it.

Dr. Tyler Hales, AKA The Bowtie Dentist, Taking Cosmetic Dentistry to a Whole New Level

The Chicago Journal Staff on June 25, 2022

Cosmetic dentistry is not the most straightforward practice, but some handle it with great skill and expertise. One dentist has been gaining a lot of popularity for that reason, doing it also in impeccable style. He’s Dr. Tyler Hales, known to many as The Bowtie Dentist. 

Dr. Tyler Hales is a cosmetic dentist who works alongside his partner, Dr. Lincoln Parker. Together, the two dental professionals formed Hales Parker Dentistry, a practice that has become one of the epicenters of cosmetic dentistry treatments in South Orange County, California. The practice serves patients from all walks of life with various dental concerns. But many of those patients come for one reason — this cosmetic dentistry practice has a proven, excellent record. 

As one of the top dentistry practitioners in the area, it would only be natural that Dr. Tyler Hales would also become a celebrity dentist. He has worked with several stars from Bravo TV, including personalities like Madison Lecroy and Peggy Tanous. Dr. Tyler Hales has also worked with many models, influencers, celebrities, actors, and public figures. He is committed to achieving the best smiles for his patients.

Dr. Tyler Hales attended Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of California. After that, he immediately started his career as a dentist. As much as he had learned and grown during his academic years, his genuine passion for dentistry started to shine on the job. “The academic aspect of dental school was fine, but the real excitement came every time I held those tools in my hands,” shares the Bowtie Dentist. “I loved getting to work with my hands. I felt like an artist as I etched and carved into teeth. I was engrossed with esthetic principles and used every opportunity to apply the concepts to help improve my patient’s smiles.”

As for his nickname, people started to call Dr. Tyler Hales “The Bowtie Dentist” because of his signature look— a dapper bowtie with a pack of style and charisma. Sharing the context behind his look, Dr. Tyler Hales refers to his grandfather, who taught him that “if you want to be the best, you need to look your best.” That impartation would bring about the doctor’s commitment to style, self-confidence, and a knack for presentation and excellence. It also ties together his commitment to providing cosmetic dentistry that makes people look their best. For The Bowtie Dentist, cosmetic work on one’s teeth gives you more than just nicer teeth. It also helps boost your confidence and self-esteem. This effect drives Dr. Tyler Hales and the whole team at Hales Parker Dentistry to deliver their absolute best for every client. 

Dr. Tyler Hales’ specialty is creating smile makeovers and veneers. He also offers what the practice calls a “Smile Test Drive” which is an opportunity to see what veneers would look like before making any commitment. In order to push the boundaries of customer service, Dr. Tyler Hales also utilizes Smile Virtual, a virtual platform for his patients to communicate and seek his advice and recommendations without leaving their home.

Dr. Tyler Hales continues to commit to giving the best results possible to people who want to transform their smiles. Hales Parker Dentistry can be located at 777 Corporate Dr. Ste 100, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694.

Erica Jones Unveils Debut Children’s Book ‘Ready, Set, Bet’ Helping Children Acquire Lifelong Skills Through a Meaningful Story

The Chicago Journal Staff on June 14, 2022

A child’s developmental years are crucial; hence, growing children deserve the best kind of education and entertainment that suits their every need. “Ready, Set, Bet” is a colorful children’s book by Erica Jones that is both educational and entertaining. Ready Set Bet Big Dog and Little Cat Race to Get Cheese Pizza is a delightful storybook that involves two main characters, Big Dog and Little Cat, along with many other animal characters. Big Dog is very tech-savvy and enjoys utilizing technology for about everything. Little Cat, on the other hand, is an amazingly simple cat who enjoys a more traditional way of problem-solving. 

Together they will teach children how to problem solve as well as complete tasks using two different methods teaching them to reach their goals.

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Erica Jones has always been very intrigued by cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Garfield, and other animals’ characters. “There was something very captivating about animal characters that possessed human-like characteristics,” explained the renowned author. 

At the age of seven, she picked up a pencil and began creating characters of her own which eventually developed into a deep passion for art and drawing. Erica would study art and practice her craft every chance she would get, turning to the history of art and completely falling in love with artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso at the age of thirteen. She would then start experimenting with different art styles such as Modern Art, Photorealism, Pop Art, and more.

She discovered that she had a deep interest in Editorial and Illustrative Cartoons. In no time, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with her associate degree in Graphic Design and Interactive Multimedia. Her relentless passion for art eventually blossomed into a dream, culminating in her decision to pursue a career in becoming a children’s author and illustrator. 

After witnessing the ongoing violence and senseless crimes rampant in her city, Erica Jones became even more adamant about using her talent for good. So, she decided to create a line of children’s books that focused on critical thinking, problem-solving, and healthy competition. “I feel that these are very important life skills that are starting to diminish,” explained Erica. 

Thus, her debut children’s book “Ready, Set, Bet” was born. The book provides children with not just a storybook but also educational flashcards that allow them to answer various questions regarding the story using actual scenes from the book. “Ready, Set, Bet” was created with a rigid learning system with various developmental steps that aid in learning and keep the child engaged. This combines children’s entertainment with education, allowing them to develop holistically and pick up valuable life lessons as they continue to read on. 

“By this time, children began utilizing a different area of their brains that fosters critical thinking while prompting a smooth transition in assisting the child with the ability to increase their attention spans with the properly guided speed,” said Erica Jones. Furthermore, “Ready, Set, Bet” also offers a coloring and activity book that will allow children to feel a sense of satisfaction by allowing them to release healthy endorphins.

The last step in the system is a reward system which makes the child feel accomplished, strengthening the child’s confidence. 

Soon, Erica Jones hopes to lead larger projects, including spreading her positive message and attending wonderful events that support early childhood education. “I also see myself becoming a proud author and illustrator with fifteen volumes under my belt. I see this program being converted into an educational television show reaching children all around the world,” shared the esteemed author. www.readysetbetchildrensbooksbyerica.com
