Losing weight, quitting bad habits and getting out of debt are all great New Year’s resolutions to make, but they are also all difficult to keep. Did you know that of those who make New Year’s Resolutions, only 12 percent actually achieve their goal?

So if you want to want to feel a sense of accomplishment this year, why not include at least one self-improvement initiative not rooted in restriction.

At The Monthly Grapevine, we are pleased we’ve been able to continue to offer our readers and advertisers the value they’ve come to expect from us. Keeping our pricing competitive, yet still delivering 64,700 to reader’s mailboxes & businesses each and every month, virtual copies and easy to use online coupons available 24/7 is our objective every year and an accomplishment we’re happy we’ve made, particularly this year.

In good times and in tough ones, it’s always our goal to bring value to our readers. While a lot of us have had to cut back on the “non-essentials,” there are still things that must be taken care of. For example, our cars need repairs, pets need veterinary care and our dental health requires attention. And of course, our homes need maintenance and sometimes emergency repairs that may require the specialized skills of a tradesman 6

Sarah Dahlheim, CMT If, after the busy holiday season you feel like you need to relax and rejuvenate, take a deep breath and pick up the phone to call Sarah Dahlheim.

Sarah is a California State Certified Massage Therapist (CMT), specializing in a holistic type of massage that will help you relax, alleviate stress and/or get out of pain.

our tensions in our own fashion. Our bodies respond to the choices we make as we go about our day.” A holistic approach is one that balances the mind, body and spirit. Massage relaxes taut muscles, aids lymphatic drainage, releases toxins and benefits the “whole” in many other positive ways. Physical and emotional stress can be reduced through therapeutic touch and a myriad of many other restrictive problems can also be alleviated.

After working in the computerengineering field for 20+ years, Sarah Dahlheim found she had a lot of stress and physical pain from commuting and working long hours. Massage helped her through that difficult time and now she has the opportunity to give back.

Graduating from the World School of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts in 2009 with over 600 hours, she has continued her education with classes such as Hot Stone Therapy, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy and Equine Sport Massage.

One of Sarah’s primary business philosophies is quality vs. quantity.

Because she never wants her clients to feel rushed getting in or out, she schedules extra time between each session to allow for a relaxed environment. She then takes time to carefully evaluate each client and tailors the massage to their specific needs, integrating different techniques so they can get the results they are looking for.

Each session may include a variety of massage modalities, such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Lymphatic, Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release, depending on the client’s needs.

Sarah believes that our bodies have a profound capability to heal themselves; sometimes, we just need a nudge in the right direction. According to Sarah, “We all have our own way of approaching and interacting with life. Thoughts, events and emotions all leave footprints on the body and mind. We each hold and manifest

When choosing a massage therapist, it’s most important to find a person you are comfortable with. After that, make sure your therapist has the skills needed and they know when and how to use them.

One way to do this is to find out if the therapist is certified by the state. The state does an extensive background check and requires at least 500 hours

of school transcripts. The next step would be to get a massage, see how you feel right after the massage, as well as a couple days later. The idea behind getting regular massages is to feel better with each one. Create some goals for yourself on what you would like to change about your body and work with your therapist to achieve those goals. For example, working out the knots on one’s back takes time, and it may take a series of massages to get the results you want.

Another thing to know about holistic massage is that it can compliment conventional medicine in the treatment of specific conditions, however there are times where massage may not be beneficial. So, if you are under a doctor’s care for the treatment of disease, illness or injury, remember to check with your doctor first before getting a massage.

Sarah Dahlheim frequently works with another very talented massage therapist whose name is Lori YapChiongco. They are offering couples massages together during the Valentine season. Please visit her website or call for more information on couples massages.

Sarah Dahlheim, CMT is located at 613 First Street, Suite 206 in Brentwood. She can be contacted at 925-413-2707 or visit her website at www.Sarah.MassageTherapy.com.

January 2012 Sarah Dahlheim

The Monthly Grapevine is pleased to introduce Sarah Dahlheim, Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) as this month’s Pick of the Vine for her exceptional client care. Sarah specializes in holistic massage and serves anyone who is in pain, has a lot of stress in their life, as well as someone who would just like to relax. She truly cares about clients and wants the best for them. Her many hours of schooling gives her many techniques to use and she has a referral program that makes massages very affordable. She uses a variety of massage modalities, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Lymphatic, Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release, depending on client’s particular needs.

Sarah is also a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist and works on horses to increase circulation, relax muscle spasms, reduce the risks of injury and help the disposition of the horse. More information on Equine Massage is available on her website.

The Monthly Grapevine Pick of the Vine award recognizes local businesses with an exemplary reputation for customer service and/or community commitment. If you would like to nominate a business for this award, please visit our web site at www.monthlygrapevine.com for more information.

TRAVEL TIME

Happy New Year!!

Happy new year to all! “Wave” season is upon us; that’s when most travelers book their cruise vacations. Let’s focus on one of the cruise lines’ rising stars.

Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 22 innovative ships, calling on more than 270 destinations in 72 countries across six continents. The line also offers unique cruise tour land packages in Alaska, Canada, Dubai, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand.

Royal Caribbean provides a worldclass vacation experience with a wide range of signature onboard amenities, entertainment, and award-winning family programming. The cruise line has a 40-year history of giving guests the Royal Advantage - the most innovative cruise ships, exciting itineraries to popular destinations, and world-renowned friendly and

engaging Gold Anchor Service.

Royal Caribbean has been voted “Best Cruise Line Overall” for eight consecutive years in the Travel Weekly Readers’ Choice Awards.

Royal Caribbean International will be launching a brand new campaign that embodies the most inspirational element of cruising… “The Sea”. The campaign is aimed at reawakening travelers to the sights and sounds of the sea, while conveying the feelings of relaxation, romance and adventure upon the open waters where one can feel detached from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The campaign’s decree: “The Sea is Calling. Answer it Royally.”

The official campaign kicked-off Jan 9, 2012, with television commercials of everyday people interacting with the “Shellphone”, a cool conch shell icon.

In addition, cruisers can answer the “call of the sea” by declaring where in the world they would like to cruise and be entered into a sweepstakes at www.

Facebook.com/RoyalCaribbean. More information about “The Sea is Calling.

Answer it Royally.” is also available at www.TheSeaisCalling.com.

Let’s not forget Royal Caribbean’s two “destination” cruise ships, the largest and most technologically advanced ships afloat. These ships have so much to offer, but do not feel crowded even for their size. Seven distinctly designed “neighborhoods” truly make a cruise aboard them feel like a destination itself. Some of the awesome features include an outdoor aqua theater for water shows, a zipline, a carousel, 3D movie theater, the Dreamworks® experience, and so much more! These ships are amazing!

We have a great opportunity for you to sail one these cruise “destinations” over the Thanksgiving holiday. A seven night Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Oasis of the Seas; sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale on November 24, 2012. With prices starting at $718* for an interior stateroom and $938* for a balcony stateroom, they will go fast.

We are taking reservations NOW for this fantastic opportunity.

Getaway Cruises n’ Tours can be contacted at 925-679-8428 or getawaycnt1@prodigy.net. Visit their website for the latest in cruise and tour specials at www.getawaycruisesntours.com.

Gingival Enlargement Gingival enlargement or gingival overgrowth is usually associated with patients taking medications for high blood pressure, anti-seizure medications and some immunosuppressant drugs. Although the pharmaceutical effect and the primary effects of these drugs are different, they act similarly on the gum tissue causing the gums to enlarge and overgrow. While some spontaneous resolution of the gum enlargement occurs when the drugs are discontinued, this, generally, is not the rule.

The prevalence of gingival (gum) enlargement in healthy populations has been estimated to be between four to seven percent. Patients receiving antiseizure medication have a prevalence of gingival enlargement from ten to

The risk when gingiva (gum) enlarges is that more plaque accumulates under the gums and in between the teeth, causing the gums to get more inflamed, swollen and to bleed. This causes a vicious cycle resulting in gum infection that eventually leads to periodontitis and loss of bone structure around the teeth, causing the teeth to get loose and eventually the teeth are lost.

Therefore, it is very important to get the gums and teeth checked by a dentist. If gum enlargement is noticed due to taking medications, consulting with the physician is recommended to change or discontinue the drugs depending on the individual’s health circumstances. In addition, gum treatment is recommended by nonsurgical methods like deep cleaning and short term use of prescription mouthwash. Sometimes, if the gums get enlarged excessively where teeth are being pushed out of alignment, then surgical removal is an option.

enlargement may arise due to hereditary, a spontaneous gene mutation, leukemia and infections like tuberculosis. Therefore, when you notice any gum enlargement it is best to check with the dentist as soon as possible and undergo appropriate laboratory testing to find the underlying cause of the enlarged gums. A biopsy may also be recommended to get a more definitive diagnosis of the underlying problem, which the dentist would be able to guide and treat as needed.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

free. Tiles break for various reasons so it is a good idea to have them checked out by a professional periodically. Check for holes or air leaks in the attic and basement (if you have one). Install or make sure that the flashing, a thin metal strip, around the doors, windows, thresholds, chimney and roof are in tact.

Protect Your Home Against Weather Disasters Although the weather is nice today, no one knows what havoc Mother Nature may wreak tomorrow. Water, wind, fire and earth movement can be hazardous to your home, perhaps your most cherished and largest investment. But, there are actions you can take now to protect your property and prevent major damage should one of these elements strike. Depending on the age of your home and the building codes in your area, some of these improvements may already be in place.

Water - Apart from major flooding, most damage occurs when water seeps in through cracks and leaks. Make sure that windows and doors are well sealed. Seal any cracks and holes in the foundation and exterior walls. Repair or replace roof shingles around any area that allows water to penetrate the roof sheathing.

Although tile roofs last quite a bit longer than composition shingles, do not be fooled to think that they are maintenance

Wind - Minimize the damage by keeping the wind from getting inside your home.

Consider solid wood or hollow metal doors, which are more likely to resist wind pressure and flying debris. There are also roofing products with high wind resistance available.

Wildfire - Some inexpensive home improvements that you can make include installing a spark arrestor on your chimney, eliminating brush and debris from around your property. More expensive improvements include replacing singlepane glass windows, doors or skylights with tempered glass, recovering your exterior walls with a more fire-resistant material, and re-roofing your home with a Class A roof covering.

Earthquake - Steps you can take to protect your property and possessions include anchoring appliances, water heater, dressers, and other heavy items to the wall.

Attach your TV, computer and other small appliances to desks, tables or countertops.

It is important to have an emergency evacuation plan and designated meeting area to take a head count in case of fire or other emergency. When weather-related disasters strike, what’s most important is your safety and that of your family.

Of course, there may be times, when no amount of prepping can protect your home. However, homeowners insurance can help protect you financially in case something happens to your property or its contents. Periodically review your homeowner’s insurance policy to make sure that you are adequately covered to rebuild your home and replace your contents.

and high-efficiency toilets, which reduce both water usage and your monthly water bill without any real extra effort on your part.

Save Water as Easy as 1, 2...

Living “green” means conservation of all kinds. In addition to things like recycling and better-planned resources for construction, it also includes taking steps to achieve greater energyefficiency and saving one more often overlooked, but critical resource: water.

Water conservation has become a national priority, and in some areas of the country it is now an urgent concern mandating reductions in usage.

Saving water starts with the obvious.

First, fix leaks, from dripping faucets to running toilets. Second, monitor and reduce the amount of water you are actually using. This includes more efficient yard watering, sweeping driveways versus hosing them down, shorter showers, not running water while brushing teeth or doing dishes, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... you get the idea.

Next up is installing water saving products, such as low-flow showerheads

How important are toilets? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), toilets account for 30% of the water used inside a home (assuming they don’t leak or keep running). If yours is more than 10-years old, it uses about 3.5 gallons of water per flush. In an average household with three or four people and a couple of toilets, that’s a lot of water used per day. Newer highefficiency toilets use only 1.6 gallons per flush. Big difference (about 2 gallons per flush) and they cost as little as $100.

Toilet-wise, things got even better when an Australian named Bruce Thompson invented the “dual flush” commode that uses a small one gallon flush for liquids and a larger 1.6 gallon flush for solids. While these super-johns are catching on fast, they are a bit pricey and can cost from $200 to $750.

Still, they are gaining in popularity and sales are steadily increasing.

However, for those who are both water-conscious and cost-conscious, a new product introduced at this year’s

National Hardware Show (NHS) in Las Vegas meets both criteria and appears to be an extremely easy and affordable solution. And being the first of its kind, the new One2Flush conversion kit won both the NHS Retailer’s Choice Award and was honored as an Innovative Product of the Year.

For less than $30.00, a few tools and less than 30-minutes time, the new “One2flush” DIY toilet conversion kit (www.one2flush.com) lets you turn any old water-wasting toilet into a highefficiency, low-flow, dual-flush model.

In essence, it can reduce your toilet’s full flush to as little as 1.6 gallons and to about three quarts for a “number 1” flush. Just push the handle to the left for a light flush or to the right for a full power flush – and you’re saving both water – about 12% or 10,000 gallons per year -- and money.

Not only is the payback period attractive (often only a few months), but in droughtstricken regions, one can be part of the answer – not part of the problem.

the grill within inches of your plate. The fragrance of the seasonings as they hit the entrees makes everyone’s mouth water. I especially like to watch the eyes of the children as they watch the show.

Each chef, with their own personality, enhances the meal with their own performance of turning a grilled shrimp into a magic show.

Your Table is Their Kitchen!

With the holidays behind us and the holiday decorations put away, it’s time to get out of the house and the kitchen!

Shirasoni brings the excitement of the familiar“ Benihana” style restaurant right here in our home town. “Your table is our kitchen” headlines their ad, and for those of you fortunate enough to have visited Shirasoni, you know what this means. When I first walked in the door, I felt like I was in another world.

The décor is fabulous; the full cocktail bar a great place to gather & have your favorite martini and the dining area is full of tables adorned with chefs tossing hot grilled shrimp into their hats.

I think the part I like most is the rhythmic sound of the knives hitting the grill as they completely slice & dice a variety of fresh meats and vegetables in seconds, right before your eyes. You are seated in a horseshoe table with your private chef right in the middle and

Listed as a Steakhouse, Teppanyaki and Sushi Bar, Shirasoni is an absolute delight for entire families, friends and even date night. The neat part about this restaurant is that you leave dinner knowing new friends, because you all sit together. Having lived in the Brentwood area most of my life, I have come to know quite a few people and it seemed I saw them all the first night my husband and I went to dinner. It truly is one of our area’s “Places to be!”

They are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, however, weekend reservations are recommended. Happy Hour is from 4:30 to 6:30 for those of us who enjoy meeting a friend for cocktails. They are located at 6367 Lone Tree Way and have plenty of parking. From the moment you walk in the door to when you leave, you are treated with kindness and excellent service. Did I mention the great

martinis? The beer is ice cold and the sake perfect too.

And, another one of my favorites, is the Sushi Bar. The real masters are preparing this wonderful addition to Shirasoni right before your eyes. There is something mystical about picking up chopsticks and tasting the artistic creations of the finest ingredients after dipping them into your own creation of soy and wasabi. It makes me hungry just thinking about it. You can also order from the Sushi menu at your dinner table, enjoying a little appetizer as they prepare your entrée. This counts two points in my book.

So, Shirasoni, the Monthly Grapevine gives you five flying shrimp for bringing wonderful meals and a fabulous show to the East County. Your gracious hospitality comes from every member of your staff. This snoop is one of your regular customers and really enjoyed writing about your great restaurant.

Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Shirasoni is located at 6367 Lone Tree Way in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-240-7808.

Exceptional, Affordable Dental Care Tired of Uncomfortable Dentures?

Call for our special implant discount with mention of this ad.

Dental Implants Are The Answer!

Replacement teeth that look and feel natural! Dental implants are artificial roots that hold replacement teeth, dentures and bridges.

• Improved stability • Improved chewing • Improved comfort

• Improved appearance • Improved speech • Improved self-esteem

No More Adhesives Or Slipping!

CHEW BETTER! An implant allows a crown to be securely anchored to the jaw, leaving the adjacent teeth virtually untouched.

Implants allow for secure installation and easy removal of dentures.

• Eat, speak and chew naturally again.

• Missing teeth lead to shrinkage of the jawbone, causing the face to appear older.

• Loose dentures can result in slurred speech or clicking noises.
