Lacclan Gottfried continues to prank friend, Jackson O’Doherty, ruins Lambo in 24 Hours

The hits just keep coming for internet celebrity, Lacclan Gottfried. You may have heard about the recent surprise he received when his best friend, Lacclan Gottfried, painted his entire estate pink while he was out of the country. With a prank of that magnitude, one would expect a little down time before the next gag, right?

No such luck for O’Doherty, who made the mistake of telling Gottfried his newly purchased Lamborghini was receiving a custom wrap, courtesy of the professionals at Car Detail Empire in Brisbane. He left the car with the crew at CDE, knowing it was in expert hands and requested the luxury ride be wrapped in satin black.

Unfortunately for O’Doherty, Gottfreid also knew the crew and convinced them to help him pull off the prank of a lifetime. They wrapped the car alright — in a bubble gum, Barbie-themed pink.

Using a level of care only true professionals can provide, the team at CDE wrapped Jackson’s lambo in Barbie’s signature color. Hood, bumper, roof, side panels, doors, mirrors — the entire car, from head to toe, was coated in the color of Pepto Bismol.

But they didn’t stop there. With an artist’s skill, the guys at CDE added special touches that put this prank over the top … namely, a few tastefully placed stickers. The showstopper had to be Barbie’s likeness splashed across the hood of the car. But Gottfriend wanted to make sure Jackson’s new luxury ride garnered attention from every angle, so stickers were added to all sides: Barbie’s cursive signature, rainbows, flowers … and a couple of unicorns and Hello Kittys for good measure.

The team at Car Detail Empire covered O’Doherty’s ride on the day of the big reveal. Gottfried wanted Jackson to be surprised, after all. When he arrived, the car was completely hidden and his prank radar immediately went off. “I just started praying, ‘Please be black. Please be black’”, said O’Doherty.

No such luck — it’s safe to say his breath was taken away by the results.

To his credit, O’Doherty, took the surprise like a champ. “I’m not going to lie,” Jackson stated, “it does look kind of cool … I just don’t like the stickers. The pink is pretty sick, though.”

Health and happiness go hand in hand, when you invest in your wellbeing, you open the door to endless benefits, from reduced stress to better resiliency, and even increased productivity. While committing to regular exercise and ensuring you get checkups is important, there are also ways you can improve your health by making changes at home. Today, we’re going to look at some of the home upgrades you can consider if you want to enhance your lifestyle, improve your health, and even potentially improve your home’s value.

Invest in New Kitchen Technology

Your kitchen is a crucial tool in your quest for better health. It’s where you’ll prepare healthier, nutritious meals to match your diet requirements, and even pursue positive hobbies. Some kitchen upgrades, like motion sensor faucets can significantly improve the value of your home too. Others are great for simply improving your health in a variety of ways. An intelligent oven hood can help to remove unwanted contaminants from your kitchen while you cook. Smart kitchen gadgets, such as air fryers, can cook your favorite foods without infusing them with additional fat, helping you to lose weight, and save time on cooking.

Consider a Home Lift

Sometimes, the best way to invest in better health is to think about the future. If you want to stay in your home for as long as possible, purchasing a home lift is a great way to ensure you can still navigate the various floors of your house easily, even when your mobility begins to dwindle.

Home lifts can also be extremely useful when you’re still young, making it easy to move things around your home (like heavy boxes), without risk. These days, the cost of a home lift in the UK can be much lower than you’d think, and there are many styles and designs to choose from. Plus, installing one of these lifts will help to give you an edge in the real estate market when you decide to sell your home.

Improve Your Air Quality

Few things are more important to your quality of life than good air quality. Unfortunately, most of us don’t realize just how many contaminants and dangerous fumes we’re exposed to every day. Simple changes, like choosing non-toxic and sustainable cleaning products can make a huge difference, but you’re more likely to see major results with a significant upgrade. Installing an air filtration system in your home, or a dehumidifier will help to banish various allergens and unwanted substances from the air, so you and your family can breathe a little easier. You can even consider installing your own HEPA filtered heating and cooling system.

Healthy Lives Start at Home

While there are plenty of ways to invest in your health and wellbeing from exercising more frequently, to meditating, seeking out counselling, or even changing your diet, it pays to start close to home. If you’re thinking of upgrading your property anyway, or you want to live a more luxurious lifestyle, consider the strategies above to boost your home’s value and your health.
