It’s Always Prowler Flu Season
As defined by the notorious UrbanDictionary.com, Prowler Flu is: “Vomiting, nausea, fainting, body-aches and/or upper-respiratory distress associated with the activity of pushing, pulling, or towing a Prowler (large metal sled-type object used for sports conditioning exercises).”

Oxygen Facials
I have been hearing a lot of buzz about oxygen facials for some time now, and I finally caved to curiosity. I visited the Red Door Spa in Bellmore for their Oxygen Infusion Facial as well as the lovely, elegant Ananas Spa in Southampton, which offers a customized Oxygen Facial developed by their aesthetician, Marina.

Shellacicure
I’m a creature of habit. Since my teens, it’s been the same old nail routine. When I started to hear the hype about the newest trend, “Shellac?” I snickered, “Don’t mess with my manicure!” I’m resistant to change—all these years of getting my nails done has become a bit of a ritual. But after hearing rave reviews on how this new procedure is fret-free, smudge-proof and long lasting, my curiosity was piqued. And then, I finally found the straw that would break my, um, last pinky nail.

Valentine Lips
Pretty up your pucker with glosses that accent your lips without assaulting your date.

Warning: Disputes Appear Closer than they Are
I am always amazed by the intensity of disputes between people who are close. It seems that closeness makes us view disputes through a magnifying glass and enlarges the differences. I get mad at my wife when we play bridge or tennis while I don’t get mad at other partners when they screw up. Many couples make it a rule not to be partners for this reason.

The New Fireplace

Smart Growth
I am sure by this point we are all knee deep in resolutions that we are all going to follow with the utmost discipline. We’re all going to lose weight, we’re all going to put more in savings, volunteer more and recognize the positive rather than the negative. In essence, we are going to transform from the people we are to those we can be.
