Homeopathic Remedy for Coxsackie Virus from Greenleaf Pharmacy

Greenleaf Pharmacy

I have a daughter in pre-school and as soon as school starts it's a waiting game for when she gets sick.  This year, she was in school for a month and then got the Coxsackie Virus (sometimes referred to as hand, foot, mouth (HFM) disease).  This is a painful sickness because your mouth is filled with sores.  Because it's a virus, prescription medication is not available.  Our pediatrician said the only thing we could do is let it run its course and give Children's Advil for the pain.  My … [Read more...]

Green Goddess Facial

O Day Spa

When my daughter sleeps I love to stare at her. Not because she looks so peaceful, but because I love her skin! I wish I took better care of my skin when I was younger and I didn't spend my summers suntanning. This is an example of me being very American. Woman in Asia cherish their skin. They drink lots of water, get regular facials, follow a strict daily regimen, wear hats with big brims when it's sunny. This is why Asian skin has been compared to porcelain. Pure, smooth, and "white". In the … [Read more...]

Eyebrow Styling from Sabria Celaj at Cherylyn Salon North, Armonk

Sabria Celaj at Cherylyn Salon North, Armonk

I was born with bad eyebrows. They're sparse at the ends, not full in the middle, and it doesn't help that I don't have the "eye" for shaping them. They have been the butt of all jokes with my sisters growing up. Living with this "birth defect" has given me little motivation to keep up with their grooming, let alone having them styled. I went to see Sabria Celaj, Eyebrow Stylist at Cherylyn Salon North, received a lesson on eyebrows, and walked out with one of the best eyebrows in my … [Read more...]

MD in the office at Advanced Laser & Medical Spa of Rye

Advanced Laser & Medical Spa of Rye

Sometimes regular facials cannot fight the war against wrinkles and aging hard enough so we need to bring in the big guns, the medical cosmetic treatments. Medical spas provide these treatments and we see more and more in our community every day. Got to love vanity. Since medical treatments are being administered, a doctor must be on staff in case of a bad reaction. We usually see the doctor's name on the door of the spa. Many times this is all we see of the doctor, their office presence is a … [Read more...]

Relaxing, Muscle Melting, Mind Calming Massage from Cherylyn Salon North, Armonk

Cheryln Salon North

My first thought after walking into Cherylyn Salon North is “wow” this place is completely white; white walls, white floors, white furniture. My second thought was “does this salon really have massage services?”. So about the white, it makes the place feel clean. The white in the massage room felt a little cool, but I was instantly warmed by the heated massage table. The “salon” is only in name from the original Cherylyn Salon in Hartsdale. This is not a salon that is trying to be a … [Read more...]
