Did The Holidays Steal Your Happy Hoo-Haa?

January 25, 2017

I’ve spent a career working with women in the salon industry. My goal has been to make women feel sexier and more confident. Since I truly believe that happiness comes from within, I have always encouraged my clients to make themselves a priority. I’ve also reminded countless women to focus more on their relationships instead of all the extra crap that inundates their lives. During this past holiday, however, I think many people forgot the true meaning of Christmas.

This is a question that many young women in Rochester, NY have been facing more and more, and the question is yes there is treatment after plastic surgery. That treatment consists of wearing compression garments for 3-6 months, drainage tubes being removed, stitches being removed, multiple creams, pain pills, and manual lymph drainage.

Women Who Inspire: Patricia Nadiak

Cassondra Kubit

January 25, 2017

As a young woman, Patricia Nadiak, worked in her family’s dry cleaning business and helped provide for her family. She enjoyed the work, but it wasn’t her true passion in life. She was also a young woman who struggled with darker facial hair because of her genetic background. She was always embarrassed because of this. She got a blessing in disguise when she went to her primary care for acne. Her primary care told her it wasn’t acne, but ingrown hairs. He told her to see Patty Entwhistle.

This topic is not a one size fits all approach and as you read this post, please carefully consider what works for you presently in your day to day life. First, lets define exercise in its simplest form so as to not over complicate our lives any more than they need to be. In the Medical Dictionary, exercise is defined as physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of conditioning any part of the body. Exercise is used to improve health, maintain fitness and is important as a means of physical rehabilitation.

Cruel and Unusual: The Plight of Seeking Medical Parole or Medical Care While in New York State Prison

Cheryl Kates Benman

January 25, 2017

Prisons in New York state are far from a five-star resort. When entering the darkened world of the belly of the beast, not only is an inmate stripped of their identity where they become a number but basic human rights often are shed by the wayside. Imagine not having the ability to have a warm shower at times, decent food, fresh fruits and vegetables, the right to not be falsely accused of disciplinary infractions, the right to adequate shelter and the right to medical care. Most recently, according to research done by the reporters at the NY Times in December 2016 , Continue reading

Meeting Life’s Challenge’s as Growth Opportunities

Kelly Breuer

January 25, 2017

Life is full of challenges. Some don’t require much effort while others seem like ominous, impossible circumstances that linger quite some time, until we figure them out… if we figure them out.

My biggest challenge in life has been growing up as a transgender woman in a world that doesn’t understand what “transgender” means. It’s been a series of challenges really, all stemming from being transgender (or perceived “different”) in today’s cultural and social climate.

Look out for Cove’s special feature monthly “Because You’re Worth It”. Women are often care-takers in their homes with responsibilities pertaining to their husbands, children, and pets. At the end of the day, women need to take time out for themselves and focus on their well-being. Often, women do not do this. Cove prides herself in being able to share a bit of herself with others and to help guide them on a wellness journey to overall health.

Self-Publishing: Lets Women Break Book Industry’s Glass Ceiling

Kelly Breuer

January 21, 2017

Virginia Woolf, a groundbreaking author and her own publisher, may have put it best when she declared that “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” In so few words, she summarized the host of challenges facing female writers.

Many of the issues related to publishing in the days of Virginia Woolf persist. She herself was a self-published author.

We may have made some great strides since then in voting and political rights but, as the wage gap shows, we still have some way to go in publishing.
