Do you have a little extra space in your home, a bit of free time, and some love to share? If so, consider becoming a foster parent for a litter of homeless kittens. With the arrival of “kitten season” in early spring, animal shelters and rescue organizations are flooded with kittens who cannot be put up for adoption until they are eight weeks old. These groups rely on the assistance of volunteer foster parents to save lives by providing temporary care. Not only does becoming a volunteer foster parent help busy humane organizations, but it can also be great for you, too. Perhaps you are considering adopting, but aren’t sure if a kitten is right for you. Maybe you travel, and can’t have a “permanent” pet. Or maybe you just want to experience the joy of kittens again and again. I know I did and found a permanent memer of our family in the process; a gorgeous polydactyk cat I decided to adopt and named Santiago, like the main character in the famous Hemingway novel “The Old Man & The Sea.” Whatever your reason, you are sure to find that fostering is one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences there is, I can tell you from my own experience. I volunteered with St. Francis Animal Rescue for several months, and watching these baby kitties go from barely eating on their own to running around in their new families’ homes was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Sadly, due to my husband’s allergies, I had to stop fostering, but I still feel very strongly about this particular organization and would like to take this opportunity to share a message in the name of St. Francis: Following last year’s hugely successful premiere KittyCon, St. Francis Society Animal Rescue announces its second annual fan convention devoted solely to the love and rescue of cats. KittyCon Tampa Bay 2019 will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel Tampa Airport - Westshore on Saturday, November 30, 2019 from 11am6pm and Sunday, December 1, 2019 from 11am-5pm. This year’s theme is Meowy Catmas and the fun and informative weekend will feature vendors, entertainment, expert

speakers on cat care and hot rescue topics, Kitty Kosplay, charity auctions, kids’ activities, free product samples and giveaways, cat yoga, and more. Last year’s most popular attraction, the Adoption Room, will be once again filled with adoptable rescued kittens and cats seeking forever homes. The documentary film, “The Cat Rescuers”, will make its Florida premiere at KittyCon. Tickets are on sale now online at: KittyConTampaBay.org. Advance purchase for adult 2-day tickets is $35/$60 at the door. Advance 1-day adult tickets are $20/$30 at the door. Children 12 and under advance 2-day tickets are $8/$20 at the door, and 1-day advance are $5/$10 at the door. For VIP Supporters advance purchase only tickets are $120 for adults and $20 for children and include entry to the White Cat Winter Wonderland Lounge and all VIP privileges. Why would a cat convention concentrate on rescue cats? “Since there are so few events to benefit cat rescue, St. Francis Society, the largest all-volunteer animal rescue in the area, is proud to take the lead in producing KittyCon Tampa Bay,” said Kathy Walvoord, President and Cat Care Coordinator of St. Francis Society Animal Rescue. “The proceeds allow us to continue the lifesaving work we do for neonatal kittens, and sick, injured, and homeless cats in the community.” Established in 1997, St. Francis Society Animal Rescue (SFSAR) is the oldest and largest foster home-based animal rescue in the Tampa Bay Area. It is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue dedicated to saving and improving the lives of homeless cats and, when possible, dogs by providing healthcare and placement into suitable forever homes. SFSAR receives no government funding and depends solely on the generosity of donors to save the lives of cats and dogs who would otherwise be surrendered to shelters, euthanized, or left to die.

Wild Birds Unlimited - “FALL” in Love With Birding This Season By Carla Selby

With hundreds of bird species native to the state, Florida is a bird lover’s paradise, and fall is a great time to feed and watch your backyard birds! The autumn migration season is here and is an exciting time for birding. Millions of birds are on the wing, covering thousands of miles across oceans and continents. With migrants on the move, your local birding site can become dynamic overnight, with an abundance of new species to identify. After some time you will start to identify your favorites sparking interest on how to keep them coming back. If you’ve been considering joining the ranks of the 47 million birders in the United States, there’s no better time than the present to take the plunge—or at least dip your toes in. Birds are easy to attract and fun to observe. They provide hours of enjoyment and a special connection to wildlife even in heavily urbanized areas. You don’t have to stray far from your own home to go birding: any green space or open water source will do. Whether you’re a “Bird-ginner” looking for your first pair of binoculars, or an experienced birder in search of a specific type of bird food, Wild Birds Unlimited, located in the Village Center of Carrollwood, has everything you’ll ever need to make your experience an unforgettable one. Longtime bird enthusiast, Lucy Polak, has been a customer since 1997 when they first opened their doors. When the original owners decided it was time to retire, Lucy jumped on the opportunity. After working years in corporate America, she found herself in between jobs. You don’t always understand why things happen but in this case, it was clear. Lucy purchased Wild Birds Unlimited 4 years ago this month, and this past May the store celebrated its 22nd anniversary! The amazing passion this store has for nature comes from deep within and shortly after retiring the previous owner made a return to his roots. “The previous owner still works here, so long-time customers still have a close bond with him,” says Lucy. You can find him working alongside her assisting

their customers in making their yard a beautiful bird haven. “We absolutely love Wild Birds Unlimited,” says frequent customer Karen M. “The staff is so helpful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable; always eager to assist and answer any of your questions! They are very experienced in the field and offer helpful suggestions and recommendations! They offer everything you can imagine for feeding your outdoor birds, butterflies, squirrels and more… Lucy, the owner, is enthusiastic about her business and goes out of her way to assist you, as does every sales associate working at this store! Really worth giving them a try. You will be so happy when you have so many different specifies of birds as they come in flocks, and even bring their babies after they learn to fly! Happy birding from an extremely happy customer!” Birding is not a difficult hobby, you just need the right supplies and information. Wild Birds Unlimited is the place to find that! “In the cooler months we do monthly presentations on a variety of nature-related themes,” Lucy added. “We always have a great turnout, the community has been very supportive, and I truly appreciate that. Our seed characters are coming in November; everyone always loves them.” Although it takes time and dedication,

the benefits of bird feeding are something that you can enjoy far beyond the company of your feathered friends. For Tony L. birding became a way to connect and bond with his young daughter. “I’m not much of a bird guy, but since my daughter is a big bird girl, I guess that automatically makes me a birdman,” says Tony. “I’ve become more of a bird lover since the super friendly staff at Wild Birds Unlimited educated me on my purchases. We have a flat hanging feeder that feeds many bird families and a few squirrels. Of course, my daughter has managed to name them all! It’s great entertainment for both of us and an amazing bonding experience. We truly appreciate the educational component of shopping at Wild Birds Unlimited. I highly suggest that you shop here, and I encourage you to ask a lot of questions. They are very helpful.” Wild Birds Unlimited is your onestop shop to turn your backyard into the relaxing oasis you have always wished for. Many people who have come into the store curious about what is inside have later become very passionate about attracting birds. The staff at Wild Birds Unlimited is very knowledgeable and able to help you connect with nature whether you’re a beginner or expert. They carry the

best bird food available in Tampa Bay. Most of the products are made in the U.S.A. and many of the houses and feeders are made from recycled materials. Some bird foods from other places include fillers that the birds won’t really eat. Every ingredient in the bird food

at Wild Birds Unlimited is a seed or grain that birds love to eat. They make sure that all the food is suited for this area and that it will attract the birds you want to see. The food is always fresh and it comes from farms that do not use insecticides. In addition to a wide variety

of beautiful bird feeders, houses, nesting boxes, Wild Birds Unlimited carries field guides to help you identify the birds you will see, nature lotions, yard décor, and children’s books. The goal at Wild Birds Unlimited is to help you enjoy the benefits of birding by bringing people and nature together. The knowledgeable staff is excited and ready to help engage you and the next generation of birding enthusiasts. Stop by today and unleash the beauty of color and music birds will bring to your home.

Tech Talk with Bob: Farewell Windows 7 By Bob Dalles There have been notices of this online, in the newspapers, magazines and television. Come January 2020, Microsoft will no longer be supporting Windows 7. So what does this mean if you currently use Windows 7? Quite simply, Microsoft does not intend to make any more repairs to problems found with the Windows 7 operating system. They would love for you to upgrade to their newest Windows operating system; currently Windows 10. But they will no longer provide repairs to Windows 7 with patches and updates. Patches and updates are fixes for vulnerabilities discovered in Windows 7. Microsoft has been providing these weekly since Windows

14 NOVEMBER 2019

7 was released back in 2009. Patches and updates deal with issues usually concerning your computer system’s performance and security exploits that have been recently discovered and repaired by Microsoft. These patches and updates are vital to keep your computer running smoothly and securely. You have probably been receiving these every week, perhaps without even knowing it. Your computer usually receives them in the background while your computer sits idle or while you are doing some light computing work. This is accomplished through the service referred to as “Windows Update.” So for most users it’s a no-brainer. The danger of Windows Update being a no-brainer

is that some users are not aware of the importance of keeping their Windows operating systems current. If you were not connected to the internet you would not be as much of a target to cyber criminals and therefore would not need to be as concerned about keeping your Windows operating system up to date. But since you probably do have an internet connection, you will become more and more vulnerable to cyber criminals, as each week passes, once Microsoft’s support ends. Now don’t be alarmed thinking that, all of a sudden, your computer is going to stop working in January. Your computer will continue to work just as it does today. The exception being that after January 14th you will become

an easier target for cyber criminals. It has always been my company’s policy to not recommend unnecessary upgrades to clients. Just because a manufacturer releases a new version of something doesn’t mean you need to upgrade to it right away. Plus, I prefer

For Advertising Info 727-943-0551 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com

that my clients not spend money on upgrades until they really need to. You need to upgrade when it is feasible both financially and from a security standpoint. So, if you are currently using Windows 7 this is my recommendation to you. If your computer never connects to the internet, and all of your current programs and devices are functioning properly, then you are in good shape. Leave well enough alone. There is little chance your computer will be involved in a cyber attack. However, if your computer is connected to the internet, you must upgrade. I would also recommend that you not hesitate and start planning for this now so you have a smoother transition. If you would like our help call 727534-4000. Be Safer Out There!

Never enter confidential information into any web site until you know the web site and your computer system is safe. If you are not sure your system is safe, please have it looked over by a Professionally Certified Computer Technician. If you need a certified professional, call us now at 727-5344000.

The Gregg Schindler State Farm Agency November Student Athletes of the Month: Conner Bacca and Bethaney Bradshaw Beginner finds success on the golf course By Emma Rogers and Ashley Hoskins Connor Bacca, a senior golfer at Mitchell High School, received December’s male Gregg Schindler State Farm Agency Student Athlete of the Month award for his talent and passion pushing through from match to match. Despite facing challenges on and off the green, Bacca continues to persevere and provide solutions to keep playing the game he loves. “I started golf about a year and a half ago because I didn’t have enough time in my schedule for baseball anymore. All my friends played golf, so I figured it would be a fun activity to take part in. Coming from baseball without any experience playing [golf] was a big challenge,” Bacca said.

This year my best score through 9 holes was a 39 and on that course, in particular, that was 3 over par,” Bacca said. To Bacca, playing golf is about more than just hitting a ball towards the flag; he enjoys meeting new people and making friends on the course. “My favorite part of golf is how social it is and the comradery you get with the people you are playing with. It is a lot more social, you get to talk to people and really just have a good time,” Bacca said.

Jewelry Buyers International: A Company You Can Trust

By Tracey Reger Do you have extra gold jewelry lying around that isn’t to your taste? Or even maybe an unwanted diamond? Need some extra cash? Most everyone knows they can receive cash for their gold, jewelry and diamonds; however, how do you know who to sell to? How can you trust you are getting the value you deserve? Selling your valuables is a very personal decision and it can be difficult to find a trustworthy place to do your business. We all have heard the plethora of stories about people selling their valuables and receiving less than 20% of the current market price. Rest assured, Jewelry Buyers International will pay top prices for your items. This is because they have more than 30 years of industry experience with the means, the knowhow, and the business relationships to pay top-dollar for your merchandise. Not only will Jewelry Buyers International earn your trust, but they will also provide you with professional customer service that is highly uncommon in the industry. A Fully Accredited Company First and foremost, Jewelry Buyers International has an A+ rating with the Better Business

24 NOVEMBER 2019

Bureau (BBB). A BBB rating represents the BBB’s opinion of how well the business interacts with its customers, and an A+ is the highest rating the BBB awards. Not only does JBI have an A+ rating, but it is also accredited by BBB. To be accredited by BBB, a business affirms it will abide by the following standards: advertise honestly, build trust, tell the truth, honor promises, be responsive, safeguard privacy, be transparent, and embody integrity. Jewelry Buyers International embodies these principles, and more. JBI is widely known for the highest payouts for items sold. According to Lisa G., “David is very informative, knowledgeable, friendly and fair!! If you are looking for a good price for valuables, this is the place to go.” Joey E. concurs, “Dave is very personable. Not just about the money, but will be honest and fair.” Second, JBI is a Certified Service Provider with Angie’s list and has achieved an A rating. This letter grade represents the average rating the business has earned in the category of service over the past three years. It ranges from “A,” the highest rating, to “F” the lowest rating. In addition, to be a Certified Service Provider with Angie’s List, the company must provide high-quality service to Angie’s List members (also the owner or

relevant manager of the company must pass a criminal background check). Jewelry Buyers International definitely excels in excellent customer service: Paul Z states, “Professional service in a pleasant office environment with comfortable chairs. Explained his assessment process

as he went along. Kindly offered us cold water and snacks.” The owner takes his time with each and every customer, and he helps out whenever he can. As an Angie’s list customer describes: “David was kind enough to see me and re-size my watch band right while I was there, and

For Advertising Info 727-943-0551 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com

at no charge. He’s a great guy and has been in the jewelry business for 30 years, so you know he’s got tons of experience. Just all around nice and respectable guy and does great work. I definitely recommend him.” Estate Jewelry and Watch Buyer The owner is an expert in estate jewelry and states, “Don’t be afraid to bring in high-end estate jewelry for appraisal or for sale as I have purchased many high-end items in my 30 years of business.” David has the means to purchase high-end jewelry, and the know-how. In addition, he has been a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors for 20 years. As a result, he can readily assess your fine watches.

David continues, “I also purchase loose, smaller diamonds, half CT and larger, including European and Round Brilliant Cut diamonds. Chipped diamonds are also welcomed.” As a GIA trained expert in diamonds (Gemological Institute of America), the owner will ensure you will receive top dollar for your diamonds using the ‘4C’s in mind (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight). Compassionate Businessman David is no stranger to hardship. In 2003, he won a large sum of money, but unfortunately lost everything within 4 years due to a gambling addiction. Although he is back on his feet now (been clean for 16 years), he doesn’t forget where he came from. His compassion-

ate demeanor is clearly apparent in the way he handles business, and in the integrity with which he treats others. One Angie’s List customer states, “David is very honest and thoughtful as we brought jewelry we had for years and some had sentimental value and David told us to keep it instead of just buying it from us. He paid fair prices for all the different types of jewelry we had and explained the differences. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.” Another Angie’s List customer, Marilyn, describes: “I could have not been any more pleased. I was in a jam and needed some extra money on a short notice, and David treated me more than fair without any negative judgement. I did not feel embarrassed at all. Times are hard in the world today and I am blessed to have found a good honest company.” Simple and Quick Process Located at 5146 South Rd, New Port Richey, you can simply stop by and visit for a verbal appraisal free of charge. Dave will look over and assess your items, normally giving you an estimate on the spot. He can immediately test your jewelry’s gold or silver content. If you are a distance away, you can also receive payment in as short as 24 hours without even leaving your home with JBI’s free Fed Ex service. Simply request an Appraisal Kit by phone call (813-763-1633) or via email at jewelrybuyersinternational7726@gmail.com. You will immediately be mailed a free

Jewelry Buyers kit with a prepaid FedEx envelope. It will include instructions upon how to safely send in your items for appraisal.

Trinity Empanadas & More

When I think Trinity, Florida, the last thing that comes to my mind is an empanada. Trinity is home to many things like great schools, beautiful golf courses, and better housing developments. But to my surprise, a wonderful Colombian woman known as “Sol” is tucked into one of these neighborhoods, creating empanadas as you’ve never seen or tasted before. Many believe food can tell a story when it is truly made with care. Sol is taking the food she grew up eating to the next level. A family tradition that goes back nearly a century, and Sol’s small recipe tweaks

26 NOVEMBER 2019

and hard work create delicious empanadas and mouthwatering “pandebonos.” Pandebono or “Pan De Bono” is a type of Colombian bread made of cornflour, cassava starch, eggs, and cheese. Sol and her husband welcomed me into their home with genuine Hispanic hospitality. What I experienced was people who undoubtedly cared about the product they are releasing, and trust me, the taste is evident to the carefulness that was taken in making them. I could taste the culture that brought it to be the end product that it is today. Who Are Sol and Jimmie Willis?

The story begins somewhere in Cali, Colombia, over 60 years ago. A family of eight, including Sol, lived in a modest “barrio” (neighborhood). Sol describes learning “the value of family, hard work, and total honesty.” In 1981, Sol immigrated to the United States and began a life that would eventually lead her to Jimmie Willis.

Get ready to “wow” your guests with unique, tasty, and traditional Colombian handhelds; you can now order Empanadas and Pan de Bonos hot and ready to eat for parties and other special events.

Sol began a 50-year career in banking that she only recently retired from. Upon retiring, Sol, with the help of her husband Jimmie, whom she explains, “she would not know what to do without him”, started Trinity Empanadas and More. She believes they are a TEAM and uses TEAM as the acronym for their business (TEAM = Trinity Empanadas And More). With the tender hand of Jimmie supporting her, Sol began preparing and selling authentic empanadas as a home-based business. Soon after, through word of mouth, the company started to explode. As of 2019, they developed the small family recipe into a successful growing business.

The Food The hero of this story is, of course, the long-standing family recipe that began with Evaristo and Sofia Luengas, Sol’s parents. Sofia prepared fresh empanadas for the eight kids in Colombia as often as she could. Through the years, Sol’s sister, Esperanza, learned how to make those unique empanadas from their mother. Sol said, “We all loved our mother’s empanadas, and it was amazing to know they would be coming to the U.S. with us.” Esperanza’s empanadas began to have a loyal following when they moved to their new nation. Flash forward to the present day, an urban American kid sits down at a table that is filled with Colombian heritage and is handed a lesson in the pride it takes to bring that culture to life.

Sol prepared a fresh batch of Empanadas for me and brought with it homemade salsa, which is called Aji (pronounced A-he). Me having no idea how to react, I went to break the empanada in half for the middle to cool. This was the wrong move. Sol stopped me, “no, no, no,” she said. There is a certain way to eat the empanada that brings out the most profound flavors. First, you must take a bite off the tip end of the empanada. So I did, and what I experienced was tender shredded beef (never ground beef, Sol says shredded is the only way to go) with a crisp outer layer. It was by far the best empanada I had ever eaten before I tried with Aji. The next step is to squeeze the empanada in a way, so the pocket opens up revealing the tasty filling. Then take a spoonful of Aji and pack it into the empanada, and enjoy the rest. The process was precise, but for a good reason. First, enjoy the pure taste of the natural ingredients made from corn, not flour for you glutenfree people out there. Then get a bit of that spice that Hispanic food is famous for. Pair with a delicious Colombian soda and the authentic experience is unlike anything

offered in the World. From within the walls of that quaint barrio in Cali, Colombia, a recipe was created that would bring Soledad Luengas PettiWillis to the forefront of her current Trinity community. Sol offers authentic food that will leave you satisfied to have experienced such a warm culture. Sol, we thank you for bringing this recipe to the community. It is an experience that I will never forget and urge many people to experience for themselves.

“Trinity Family Physicians”

story continued from page 1. their care. As part of their expansion, Trinity Family Physicians has brought on two Physician Assistants. Rachel Azzarelli and Ian Simpson have been accepted with open arms by patients of the doctors. Under their supervision, the pair have quickly become part of the practice family. “Their training and previous experience, coupled with their bedside manner, communication, and time spent with patients, has made them so well-received. In a short period, they already feel like family,” said Dr. Shirmo. “Their family and friends followed them to our practice. That’s a testament to who they are and how

28 NOVEMBER 2019

much they are trusted.” At Trinity Family Physicians, expert care is coupled with attentive physicians. As they own the practice, no one is forcing the doctors to move quickly from one patient to the next, to keep a corporate timetable. Dr. Eldridge and Dr. Shirmo, as well as their Physicians Assistants, are known for actually listening to their patients’ concerns, spending the type of quality time that other doctor’s offices sorely lack. From acne, diabetes management, immunizations, menstrual issues, postpartum depression, skin cancer screenings and treatment, and wrinkles, Trinity Family

Physicians literally has a patient covered, A to Z. A list a half of page long on their website showcases the vast number of issues they treat. The practice even offers nutrition counseling for patients seeking to lose weight. “We can help them change their lifestyle, along with eating the right diet, being more active, and taking the right supplements,” said Dr. Shirmo. “That is incorporated into care for other issues like diabetes. Nutrition counseling would be part of that treatment and covered by insurance. Most people think they have to see a weight loss doctor who will give you shortterm results. We’re looking for permanent long-term results, and changing your

lifestyle is the way to do it.” In addition, it is the fact that they care and how they care for their patients that makes all the difference. Sometimes, a home-bound patient or a patient with an incredibly demanding schedule still needs to see a doctor. Trinity Family Physicians makes a previously impossible option, a convenient and straightforward process. The doctors offer superior care to established patients through a new, state-ofthe-art tele-visit service. The virtual appointment is as simple as downloading an app, scheduling tele-appointment and connecting with the doctors via laptop, desktop, or smart device. Not all appointments

require an in-office visit. Follow-ups, blood test results, medication followups, diabetes management, follow-up nutrition counseling, and other

non-urgent established patient care can be quickly addressed from the comfort of the patient’s home or office. Any prescriptions and labwork needed can be sent

electronically. As long as it is a private setting with a WIFI signal, a patient can have an appointment anywhere that is quiet and convenient for them, even in their car during a lunch break or a child’s sports event. “About 15 minutes prior to their appointment, they would login and fill out the appropriate paperwork, and they would be in cue to be seen by the provider. The doctor logs in and sees them through their device of choice. We can see them and talk to them and have a face to face conversation,” said Dr. Shirmo. “What’s nice about this is you can see the facial expressions of the patient. This allows us to connect with the human being on the other side.” The response to the tele-appointments has been overwhelmingly positive. One hundred percent of patients polled that have used the service would use it again. It has allowed patients who were not exceptionally punctual in returning appointments to be more attentive to their personal healthcare. “Compliance rates and satisfaction is higher. There are not many times that 100 percent of the people agree 100 percent,” said Dr. Eldridge. Dr. Shirmo explained tele-visits eliminate busy patients going to a walkin clinic where the doctor doesn’t know him or his history. “Who better than to take care of you than your own doctor?” asked Dr. Eldridge. “We know you. We have a history together. So who

For Advertising Info 727-943-0551 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com

better to do a televisit than with us?” Expanded service hours also help to accommodate the busy schedules of their patients. Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The doctors recommend calling early for extended hour appointments, as they tend to fill quickly. Just like families help one another, the doctors regularly support the community they work in through participation in local charities. When asked what makes a good day, the doctors did not hesitate in their response. “Every day, I know I’ve had a good day because when I can leave the practice and go home, I know that I can go to bed, knowing that I’ve done all that I can for my patients,” said Dr. Shirmo. Dr. Eldridge added, “You know you’ve had a good day when you’ve been able to do God’s work and help people through their toughest times, get them through struggles and illness. That always feels good.” Trinity Family Physicians is located at the corner of Trinity Blvd. and Duck Slough Blvd. at 1817 Cypress Brook Dr., Suite 101 in Trinity. The hours are Mon-Thurs 8:00-6:00 p.m., Friday 8:00-5:00 p.m. For more information, call (727) 834-8377 or visit their Facebook page or website at www. trinityfamilyphysicians. com. NOVEMBER 2019 29

Orange Blossom Women’s Group - Feeling Beautiful for Fall By Morgan Fliss About a year and a half ago, Dr. Reut Bardach opened an OBGYN practice to take care of women comprehensively. After talking to women all day as an obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Bardach created the idea that she wanted to offer total and “complete care for women.” This led to the opening of Orange Blossom Aesthetics, a medspa that offers an array of beauty services for women. Dr. Bardach earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Central Florida and then went on to medical school where she earned her doctorate’s degree from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in 2008. After working as a board-certified and highly rated obstetrician and gynecologist at a hospital, Dr. Bardach realized

30 NOVEMBER 2019

she was “ready to be her own boss.” She opened up her own practice called Orange Blossom Women’s Group, to pursue her passion for being an OBGYN that she has had since she was a kid. Dr. Bardach realized that she wanted to be able to help women with more than just the world of obstetrics and gynecology, which inspired her to open Orange Blossom Aesthetics. “All day long I talk to women about problems they have, the things that bother them and the things that they struggle with. The more you listen to women talk about [these problems] the more you say, I wish there was more that I could do to help and that is how the idea of owning a medspa was born.” Orange Blossom Aesthetics is located right next to Orange Blossom Women’s Group, off of Little Road and Photonics Drive. Dr. Bardach chose to

open the med spa in the Trinity area because the city centrally located and thriving. She wants to help the community that she is a part of as she and her family live here. “I love Trinity and want to see it grow,” said Dr. Bardach” Walking into Orange Blossom Aesthetics, all the staff works very hard to “treat people with respect, professionalism, and courtesy. We value people’s time just like they value our time.” All staff members are very efficient, making sure that patients are seen at their appointment time, and are given the best quality care. The spa offers an array of services to help women feel beautiful inside their skin. The most popular treatment offered by Orange Blossom are neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, which are all prescription medicines that help the effects of aging

by softening the muscles of the face. Orange Blossom Aesthetics offers a variety of anti-aging services including, facial fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, Plasma pen treatment for skin tightening and laser services. Orange Blossom Aesthetics also offers full-body services such as body contouring “which is a general term that

describes different applications to help with fat reduction.” We offer a nonsurgical procedure that helps remove fats from the abdomens, love handles, buttocks, thighs, arms, etc. Many women struggle with loose skin and unwanted fat, so these procedures “help [women] re-strengthen the muscles, eliminate the fat and tighten the skin in those selected areas There are always several estheticians on staff to offer many different facial services

to women of all ages. Orange Blossom Aesthetics offers specialty facials, teen facials, back facials, and chemical peels. They also offer HydraFacial, which is a more advanced facial technique. This is a multistep process that cleanses and exfoliates the skin, as well as extracts debris from your pores to leave you with “the best skin of your life.” The HydraFacial also infuses and protects your skin with antioxidants and peptides, to leave your

skin healthy and glowing. Another aesthetic offering is microdermabrasion, which uses a diamond-tipped wand to “help clear the skin, clear the pores, and help with fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring on the face.” Some other services available to patients are laser services such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which works to help improve your overall skin condition and texture. IPL treatments are best used to correct, rosacea and skin laxity. Laser hair removal is also available at Orange Blossom Aesthetics for unwanted hair on any part of the body. The relaxing med spa also helps with medical problems that women may face as they age. For women who are struggling with urinary incontinence, the medspa offers Emsella, which is a nonsurgical procedure that works to improve bladder leakage by stimulating contractions of the pelvic floor. This allows women to do 1000’s of kegels in one sitting while fully clothed and comfortable. With the holidays quickly approaching, Orange Blossom Aesthetics is offering many

“Longleaf Eye Care”

story continued from page 1 decided to move my practice near home. ” said Dr. Dhima. While Dr. Dhima continues to have a loyal following of patients who travel to see her, she is inviting all of the nearby neighbors to visit Longleaf Eyecare. “We are thrilled that our established patients have followed us to our new location as well as a few of our staff. Office Manager Wendy Hinton brings over 32 years of experience in the optical field to our office, and Carina Ortiz and Tessa Kehl continue to be the friendly faces at our front desk.” Among the recent 5-Star reviews of Longleaf Eyecare on Google, Brittany Johnson wrote, “Staff was wonderful! Went the extra mile to make my little boys feel safe and comfortable.

36 NOVEMBER 2019

It was such a smooth process down to the scheduling, appointments and even getting their glasses. Definitely loved this place!” Similarly, David Whitaker wrote on Google, “Dr. Dhima and her staff are very knowledgeable and efficient. Great office! Thorough exam with high tech equipment. Took only a few minutes to determine my prescription. I’ll never go back to those “big” stores again after the personal attention I received from Dr. Dhima and staff.” When asked about emerging issues in eye care, Dr. Dhima said she has a number of concerns relating to the growing numbers of patients with diabetes and the prevalence of eye strain from the use of electronic devices. She explained how the use of blue-light

emitting devices is causing sleep disruption and how many patients are sleep deprived—especially children. An article from the sleepfoundation.org shares Dr. Dhima’s concerns, “As difficult as it is to get

kids to stop watching TV or using their electronic devices before bedtime, there’s a compelling reason to make it happen. The blue light that’s emitted from these screens can delay the release of sleep-inducing melatonin,

For Advertising Info 727-943-0551 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com

increase alertness, and reset the body’s internal clock (or circadian rhythm) to a later schedule. This is an especially big problem for teens whose circadian rhythms are already shifting naturally, causing them to feel awake later at night. The end result: sleepdeprived or poorly rested kids who have essentially given themselves a mini case of jet lag.” There is a growing need for parents and caregivers to enforce a “digital curfew.”

Issues ranging from early detection of diabetes and other health issues begins with a comprehensive eye exam. Preventative eye care and maintenance throughout the year is essential, “A comprehensive eye exam is an important part of your overall general health maintenance and should be scheduled on a regular basis. The findings from your comprehensive eye exam can give your doctor important information

about your overall health, particularly diabetes and high blood pressure. Our eyecare services focus on your well-being and health,” said Dr. Dhima. According to webmd. com, Diabetes is the primary cause of blindness in adults, ages 20 to 74. This disease often goes undetected while damaging inflammation to the eye affects vision. Symptoms and co-occurring illnesses include blurry vision, cataracts, Glaucoma, and Diabetic Retinopathy. Regular visits to a trusted optometrist are vital to vision management and could save your eyesight! Maintaining healthy eyes and good vision is an important part of your overall health program, and Longleaf Eyecare provides fashionable and affordable products that make you look good and feel good, “We believe that healthy eyes and superior vision are vital to a high quality of life. Come and check our optical dispensary and choose from the latest in fashionable eyewear. We carry both affordable and high-end frames, said Dr.
