The Life Aquatic | Maldivian Style

June 13, 2013 by Haili Pue · Leave a Comment

Take a dive into this summer's fashion; bright colors, solids and sheer fabrics align the summer trends for resort-ready wear. I took a trip to the Maldives to discover the true inspiration behind summer style. Dita Von Teese, Michael Phelps and Tony Parker are a few to name who have recently visited Rangali Island here in the Maldives. The local fashion scene amongst visitors is serene, lightweight and bright in color. The color scheme is turquoise, red, yellow, orange, green and pink - … [Read more...]

Zoom Your Way to the Smile You’ve Been Wanting!

June 7, 2013 by Kathryn Crawford Wheat · 2 Comments

Cindy and I decided to go see the folks at GMS Dental Centers about getting a whiter and brighter smile. We expected to come out with whiter teeth. I mean, that’s what they do, right? What we didn’t expect was how much fun we would have in the process. They are extremely professional and experts at what they do but they also make you feel totally at ease about the whole Zoom Whitening process. Marcus and Kayla took excellent care of us and even understood our gibberish talk while … [Read more...]

Victoria Secret and Sarah Blakely Bathing Suits

Fashionistas and bargainistas alike will be stocking up on one-piece bathing suits this summer. Because one-piece bathing suits are formfitting on most every body type, they provide a great base for your summer look. You can spice them up with cut-outs or make them pop by purchasing a suit in a bold accent color. Add a hat and sunscreen and you are ready for some fun in the sun! I personally love suits in coral colors, another trend this summer. There are several advantages to … [Read more...]

Meet Dr. Ravi

May 16, 2013 by Kathryn Crawford Wheat · Leave a Comment

Cindy and I recently had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Ravi Somayazula in a relaxed social setting. It’s funny how you can gain a different perspective on a doctor when you get them outside of the office. We found Dr. Ravi to not only have a great passion for what he does but also to be quite the charming bachelor with a great sense of humor. We all agreed that while we were all 3 there for work related business, it didn’t seem like work because we were having such an enjoyable … [Read more...]

WE got your back…

May 14, 2013 by Josh Parish · 1 Comment

I come from a family of females. Of course, at one time, men were in the mix but due to untimely death and divorce I grew up surrounded by strong women.

It’s nothing new or fancy and it works on so many levels. The right buddy or team will motivate and energize you to give it your best! Nothing is worse than … [Read more...]
