LUXE SERVICES:

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHIN TREATMENT There are three general ways to get rid of fat in the chin and jawline, and each has a predictable outcome. The three types of treatment are covered below to help you make an informed decision for your chin procedure. %XTERNAL TREATMENTS use heating or cooling to cause damage to fat cells, which are then removed by your body. This process is performed externally, with little downtime and treatments in as little as an hour or so. Coolsculpting is the most popular and effective form of external treatment. Luxe performs more Coolsculpting than anyone, and can set you up with a free consultation to see if you are a candidate for this procedure. One particular note is that external treatments like Coolsculpting are unable to tighten the skin while removing fat. )NJECTABLE TREATMENTS are used to damage fat cells, which are then removed by your body, similar to external treatments. Injectable treatments are fairly new, and tend to cause more pain and downtime than advertised, with less result than other procedures. Injectable treatments are very

rarely recommended, and may be the costliest procedure by the time the necessary number of treatments are accomplished. Always get a second opinion from a doctor before performing injectable chin treatments, as they are typically sold in high pressure environments or by nonmedical staff. )NTERNAL TREATMENTS are performed by a physican and the fat is removed during the procedure. The result is far more dramatic than any external or injectable treatment can accomplish, and the procedure is “one and done.�

The standout procedure in this category is the Precision Tx laser treatment, which melts the fat to remove it, but also tightens the skin as it goes.

The result is a significant improvement from any other chin procedure, as tightening the skin is as important as removing fat. The procedure is priced at $2,000, but it is absolutely the best dollar-fordollar procedure on the market. Consultations with the physician to talk about it are always free.

Big Fab Lab Invites Seniors To Share Knowledge

The Intern, a recent movie starring Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro, has opened new possibilities for interaction between generations in the workplace. In the movie, a 70-year-old business veteran (DeNiro) interns at a hip internet sales company. In reality, while such arrangements are unusual, they do exist.

With advances in medicine, people are living longer, providing more opportunities for businesses to tap into the wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom that resides with the older generations. As one Northwest Ohio business owner explains, that won’t happen automatically. “We need to be intentional about this,” says Mark Bowlus, Founder and Director of The Big Fab Lab. “We need planned approaches to creating opportunities for different generations to interact with one another. And we need the natural collaboration that comes with spending time together.”

Collaboration is good for communities - Bowlus points out that interaction between generations brings much to the table for communities. “By bringing together diverse groups and networks, each group feels more connected and valued.

Resources are multiplied. New products and ideas are developed more quickly and more effectively. And businesses are started. Plus, traditions and values are passed down from older to younger generations.”

“Personal training is really for the unfit,” says Maryellen Grogan, Owner of Positively Fit in Maumee. “It might be counterintuitive, but a personal trainer can have the greatest impact on those who have little or no fitness experience.” Most of us would think otherwise. When it comes to fitness the last thing we want to do is have someone watch us struggle through a sit-up. “People come to me all the time embarrassed about their fitness level. It is important to remember that we are here to help them with whatever their fitness goals are.”

Most can benefit from the attention of a personal trainer despite misconceptions about the concept of one on one fitness work. Worries of being pushed too hard, affordability, or general concerns about how to select a trainer prevent many of us from seeking out a fitness trainer. “People equate personal trainers with celebrities and sports stars,” says Gregg Schwartz, owner of American Mobile Fitness. “Trainers are actually for the average person, regardless of age. I worked with a lady who was 89 when we started and she trained with me for 5 years. Fitness training,” says Schwartz, “is for everyone.”

Chemistry, Commitment, and Certification

“There is a whole word salad of trainers today,” says Dr. Pat Buchanan, a Movement Improvement Expert from 3D Wellness in Toledo. “It is important to clearly understand what a trainer is certified or trained to do. First and foremost, recognize that personal trainers are not health care providers. They have great skills in helping people lead more active lives and prevent lifestyle complications that come from obesity and being sedentary. They can also provide great continuity in physical activities and fitness after a client has been discharged or cleared by a health care provider.”

Cares can fade away when you de-stress with Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation

Mary Lynn Reynolds

By Christine A. Holliday

We all have plenty of issues in our daily lives to keep us worried and stressed.

Politics, health, family situations, job changes— all provide good reasons for those over 50 to try new ways of calming and centering themselves. MLiving spoke to people who are relaxing and improving their health and spirits by meditation, yoga, and tai chi, and recommending these methods of stress-relief to others.

Kathleen Shea has counted on the calming influence of meditation and prayer since she was a child, 60-plus years ago. “I was the middle sister of three,” she recalls, “and there were times I needed to be quiet, apart from all the family noise. My mother called it praying; I just thought of it as a few minutes of peace.”

Shea learned about meditation in high school and was drawn to the style of Centering Prayer, a process that she describes as “involving surrendering to the silence and allowing God to speak in the depths of my soul.”

Kathleen Shea That method came in very handy when she was homebound for almost two years, recuperating from an illness. “I had time during that period to think about what Socrates said, ‘The unexamined life is not worth living,’ and I used that time to make some decisions about a career change. I still meditate twice each day (20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening), and I really think the ability to center myself for a bit each day has transformed me. I have the sense I am working toward a kind of perfection, or loving relationship with God.”

Meditation and yoga stress

It was cancer that drove Dorothy Haverbusch to look for ways to become healthier 20 years ago. During her recovery, she tried several things in search of mental, physical and spiritual benefits, and was grateful to the people at the Wellness Center at Flower Hospital for giving her a Dorothy Haverbusch holistic strategy, which has been working.

She has found great benefits in hatha (gentle) yoga, which she says is perfect for people her age. “I have certainly improved my flexibility, my balance, and my muscle and bone strength. But the benefits aren’t just physical. I appreciate that each session begins with stretching and body movement, and it isn’t meant to be a workout. I like that the instructor reminds us often to ‘Listen to your bodies and do what your bodies tell you to do.’ “ She adds, “I do yoga at least once a week, and I look forward to the emotional benefits, too. I can relax and give up any stress, so I really have a feeling of wellness in all areas! And it is fun to do it with friends!” Dorothy meditates on a regular basis, “I love to meditate in beautiful places, such as the chapel on the campus of Lourdes University or in their prayer garden.”

Family Benefits

Meditation and yoga are family activities for Dan Duris and his wife Mary Lynn Reynolds. Reynolds, a member of the Toledo Rowing

12

Club, thought that yoga would help her concentration, body awareness, and performance. As it turned out, it helped a lot more. She worked more than two decades on an early morning shift (on the job by 3:00 a.m.) and has four children that keep her on the go. She found that the time spent doing yoga regularly supports her in many ways. “While it is physically challenging, the mind, breath and body connection is a positive holistic approach,” she explains. Her longtime yoga instructor Sandy Earl reminds students to be open and without judgement and competition with others, and above all, to be grateful for the time they are able to spend in acceptance of themselves. “Yoga is a positive approach to life’s everyday events,” Reynolds insists.

Dan Duris’ reason for giving yoga a try was a matter of life and death. He had open heart surgery in 2012, and had to make some changes to his lifestyle as part of his recovery. “I realized I had been going through life unaware.

Yoga gives me a feeling of awakening my spirit. Yoga is like the Sister of Notre Dame physical extension of mindfulness, so it is beneficial for my Suzette Fisher physical self and my emotional self. I am working on being a better person through all of this and I really appreciate the collective energy I feel in the yoga class. It has made all the difference in the world to me and my health!”

Starting with Tai Chi

Sister of Notre Dame, Suzette Fisher got her start with Tai Chi in her late 40’s by mimicking what she saw on a video. “It looked like fun, and I liked learning the 108 moves. When I saw that people of all ages were doing it, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I’ve learned since then that it is a process and a lifelong practice.”

Sister Suzette has earned a certification as a Tai Chi instructor with the Taoist Tai Chi Society, and now leads people of all ages and flexibility levels in the ancient art.

“I like that keeping up with the sequence of moves forces you to concentrate and leave all the ‘garbage’ of your life outside the class. People report all kinds of wonderful reactions to it—help with high blood pressure, increased strength and flexibility, diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease, even age-reversing. Some of the folks like to call Tai Chi ‘lotion in motion,’ because the gentle movement keeps the body from atrophying. It is gratifying when we hear that doctors are recommending Tai Chi to their patients as a great way to work all systems of the body, gently but firmly.”

Retired high school guidance counselor Dick Schroeder has done Tai Chi for four years, and agrees with Sister Suzette. “I always feel energized after each class,” he reports. “I feel more agile, too, and I enjoy the social activities, such as the Chinese New Year celebration and the picnic the Society offers.”

There are many ways to de-stress and whether you choose, meditation, yoga or Tai Chi your body will thank you.

Budgeting, While Painful, Makes Sense

By Pat Nowak

Afraid of losing everything you’ve saved to the high cost of nursing care?

Let us show you how to protect your assets and avoid losing them to the high cost of nursing care. -Ty S. Mahaffey, Esq.

Mentioning the word “budget” can make smiles turn into frowns. Nobody likes talking about the dreaded “B word.” Responsible and hard-working adults avoid the idea of budgeting or planning their spending.

Most people, enjoying their lives, feel they work hard and can spend the way they want. Being reminded of mindfulness concerning money can make them become testy. Today, many people over 50 are still suffering from past economic declines. This is the time to explore what a budget can do for you.

A budget guides your spending

Directing available dollars to be used wisely – it need not be restrictive.

Budgeting takes into consideration the things that you really want out of life, and makes them a priority. Having a budget is not a sign that you are careless or that you easily get into debt, although not having a plan for spending prudently can leave some in a difficult financial position.

Some things to be mindful of:

“We focus our practice on Asset Protection Planning”

Have you been shopping when you saw something that was an unnecessary purchase but you just whipped out the credit card, and it was yours? In 2015, the average credit card debt per household was over $15,000. Many of those charge balances arose because the spender was not giving thought to whether the purchase was truly necessary. A budget, an objective and predetermined spending plan, can prevent getting in over your head.

A budget tracks expenses and income so that a scheduled insurance premium or income tax payment will not come as a surprise — the budget reflects yearly financial obligations, keeping a record of when bills are due. And if an emergency arises, you will be more likely to have the money to deal with it.

A budget allows you to track your spending, providing a perspective on where you can save– are you spending too much on credit cards or on expenditures like dining, golf or the holidays. Should you take a step back and save some cash for a fabulous trip, a business idea, or to help your children with education plans?

Planned spending

Failing to plan your spending can lead to wasting money. It is far too easy to overspend when it comes to regular purchases of consumables like food, entertainment, and convenience items. A stop for a drink soon becomes two and your simple $10 bill now is $25 – keep that up and you can be spending hundreds of dollars a month; money that you can’t get back.

A budget allows you to have and plan money goals. Travelling around the world, buying a cottage up north or saving more money for other reasons can all be attained by paying attention to the dollars coming in and the dollars going out. A monthly budget can help you trim the fat from your spending while saving for things that you really want. Budgeting also helps you to look more critically when making purchasing decisions. Should you select a giant television or choose a more modest model, priced considerably less?

We all want to be financially secure. We all have goals we want to achieve and the best way to achieve those goals is to be mindful of you money. A budget can help you do that. Instead of thinking of a budget as a penance, look at it positively, as a way to make your dreams come true.

Rosie’s Italian Grille is all about family. Brothers Phil, John and Mike Barone started the eatery with a singular goal: make the recipes mom used to make. Of course, with Rosie steeped in the style of cooking from her native Sicily— a pinch of this, a pinch of that— actually figuring out the measurements was something else entirely. But they clearly got it right when they moved into one of their father’s buildings on Sylvania Avenue near Lewis to open up shop. Back in 1982 Rosie’s was a deli and a pizza parlor, an arcade with a hot new channel, MTV, constantly playing on the TV. What a difference 35 years makes.

Hot Mama Bread

Five store locations later and Rosie’s is now a casual fine dining destination on the corner of McCord and Nebraska and where the recipes remain unchanged. The Brothers Barone have expanded on those originals, however.

Hot Mama Bread, the deliciously flavorful cheese bread which is a Rosie’s signature item, wasn’t brought from the Old Country, rather it was born, like all great inventions, out of necessity. With hungry diners lined up out the door on a busy day the brothers needed to think of something or the would-be customers might be lost to the competition.

“You can tell when people are just hungry,” Phil Barone, the fourth-born of the family, says. “So we started making this bread. We made it with our pizza dough, and we started making up a sauce and we put some grande cheese on there and we brought it out to them. Just so people could have a couple pieces. And they loved the bread so much that when they sat down, they said, “I want some more of that bread, that Hot Mama Bread.”

“It still blows me away, how popular it is,” Phil says of the delectable solution.

“It’s doesn’t matter your age. It’s ageless.

We have so many different pizzas and pastas, lamb chops and steaks and fresh fish, but that’s still up there as one of the favorites.”

Destination dining

“Rosie’s is a destination spot… it’s close to the airport, we have Stone Oak development that has beautiful houses, and we’ve kind of filled a niche— like a Cheers. We have a good core group of people from Stone Oak and St. James (another housing development) that come in here pretty regularly. And I think that’s what a successful restaurant needs, you’ve gotta have your core group of people. And we have that.” Those dependable regulars, eager for their Italian fix, were a major saving grace of the restaurant when McCord closed down to allow for construction of a train overpass recently. As Phil tells it, those were nervous times. But the thoroughfare is now open to traffic again, allowing new customers to find their way to the feast.

The restaurant is spacious and clean, with a classy, fully-stocked bar that Phil says evokes thoughts of the Drake Hotel in Chicago with its dark wood. Patios in front and back are charming places to dine and relax in the warmer months.

The booths are spacious, inviting families to sit close together for a nice meal.

The lighting sets a mood. easy on the eyes, great for romantic times.

Rosie-approved

And as for the excellence of the food, look no further than Phil’s dinner companion every Friday night: his mother Rosie, now 96-years-young. She still comes out with him to dine at the restaurant and mingle with her fans— the folks who know who she is and want photos with her. Her favorite? The mussels, bathed in a spicy lemon marinara sauce. But Phil also gets her a pizza to go that she can eat on Saturdays. It’s good to know that the restaurant that bears her name is also her favorite place to dine. Definitely check Rosie’s out for yourself.

Small Spaces With A Lot of Splash

by Pat Nowak

When Joanna Koenigsecker was making a house change - she was thinking small. After living for years in a large home on a huge lot she wanted something manageable. She found the perfect place, which needed to be updated. With her interior design background she knew that it had huge possibilities. She enlisted Mark Cook for the major renovations and took on several of the smaller projects as an ongoing do-it-yourself venture.

Moving walls to make more closet space and adding designer touchesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; stone at the fireplace and entry hall, a pantry door that looks like a front door (with a newspaper holder and mail box) and updating the kitchen and flooringâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the home took on her personal flair. All the available space is repurposed.

Using earth tones as the base, she integrated gray and lots of unique decorating elements along with artwork and floral accompaniments. Entering the home, the inviting foyer flows into a eclectic dining room and great room, culminating in a galley kitchen.

The distinctive home, while small, bursts with splashes of style and excitement - a lot of house for those who appreciate what can be done with small spaces.
