Know Your Neighbor: Misty the Mermaid

  By Paul Bonnette If you have attended “FinTastic” events such as Tourism Days, Zoo Boo, Chamber of Commerce First Friday, and Pirates of the High Seas Fest, then chances are you may have had a mermaid sighting. For Bay County resident Misty Joy, the phrase “Mermaid Life” takes on a very literal meaning. Misty the Mermaid can be seen popping up out of the Gulf for numerous community activities and bringing smiles to the faces of adults and kids alike. Almost a decade ago, just before mermaids started their massive rise in popularity in pop culture, Misty Joy was making a change that would impact her life and start her journey toward creating a whole new “Mer-sona.” “It all began in 2015, I was working at Starbucks and my life situation had changed and I needed a way to support myself. I enjoyed my job at Starbucks, but I honestly believe the universe was setting up this path for me. For some reason at that time in my life, everybody kept telling me that I looked like a mermaid. I worked at Starbucks with a girl that dressed up as princesses for birthday parties… I just started thinking that I could be a mermaid for birthday parties and try to be a professional mermaid.

Reed Jeweler Rus on Luxe Life Discovered

#Jewlery #podcast #30a REEDS Jewelers’ founder Bill Zimmer’s family operated retail jewelry stores; Bill learned from his brothers how to sell diamonds at a young age, just as his children would later learn from him. In 1946, he and his wife Roberta bought a small jewelry store in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina and changed its name to REEDS Jewelers. After finding success, the Zimmers opened stores in Whiteville and Jacksonville, then expanded to other cities in the Carolinas. By 1979, they controlled two dozen retail outlets while still running their original Wilmington store. As they built their business, they built their family, and all four children grew up working at REEDS. Bill’s son Alan Zimmer joined REEDS in 1981 and took charge of merchandising as Executive Vice President. Upon arriving at REEDS, Alan began instituting major changes to modernize the growing company. He officially became President and CEO in 1985. Today, REEDS Jewelers maintains the inviting and comfortable atmosphere of a family-run business–even with retail stores in thirteen states! Bill, who worked at his original store every day until his recent passing, would often express the pride he had in his son’s accomplishments, saying, “Alan has built the company!” ““I love this business,” Alan says, “and the foundation of our company’s growth will be the business practices my father taught us: personal service, friendships, and quality goods at competitive prices.” Luxe Life Discovered podcast idea originated from meeting so many diverse, talented individuals along the Emerald Gulf Coast in Florida....
