Happy Valentine's Day

Are you struggling to find a gift for your special sweetie?   Are you trying to be a little more original than the flowers and chocolates that you've given her for the last 7-8 years?   Here's an idea.  How about a gift certificate for a treatment in our medi-spa?    There's a myriad of treatments to choose from--a restful full face facial, a microdermabrasion, and hair removal treatment,  even eyebrow waxing is a fun treat for us girls.   So, don't limit yourself with the same old flowers and candy  (although chocolates in addition to your other gift is always appropriate), branch out and consider a gift certificate at our medi-spa.   She'll thank you.   (Did you know we have a lot of men who love to visit the spa, too)

Breast Cancer Reconstruction

Did you know that by law insurance companies have to pay for breast reconstruction surgery after breast cancer procedures?   Even if the procedure was a lumpectomy and not a full mastectomy you may qualify for insurance coverage for reconstruction.   Also,  the surgery to bring the non-affected breast into symmetry to the reconstructed breast is also covered.  There is not a time limit to the reconstruction.    If you had the mastectomy several months or even years before and now want reconstruction, that is covered.   There may be some restrictions, but they are few.   If you have been through breast cancer surgery in the past, or need to have a mastectomy or lumpectomy in the future you might consider breast reonstruction.   Breast cancer is a terrible, horrible disease, and sometimes, thinking about making decisions about reconstruction at the time seem overwhelming.   But, wherever you are in the process, breasts are part of what makes a woman.  Reconstruction may not be for every woman, but you owe it to yourself to find out what the options are.

Love those Lashes!

I have had three people in the last 2 weeks look at my eyes and ask if I have artificial lashes or lash extensions.   Wow.   Actually, my longer, fuller lashes are just the result of using Latisse Eyelash serum for the last 6 months.   It is refreshing to find a product that actually fulfills or even surpasses expectation.    It's really a great product.   It would  make a fabulous gift--to give to someone you love or even to yourself.   (We even have a few tricks to make it go much farther than it says on the package)   You ought to give Latisse a try.  It's great!
