A

popular summer tune “I Wish They All Could be California Girls” may soon change. With the help of Broken Arrow Med Spa, the words may soon be, “I Wish They All Could be Oklahoma Girls”. Broken Arrow Med Spa offers the most advanced procedures in health, beauty and well-being in the Tulsa area. With a brand new facility just one-half mile north of their previous location; the luxurious spa has not only doubled its space, but added innovative services to its menu that will have you feeling and looking better than ever.

Melody Hawkins, practice manager proudly explains some of the newest treatments offered at the Broken Arrow spa located at 510 North Elm Place.

One of the newest services offered in the 6,000 square foot oasis is co2 laser resurfacing.

The procedure is one of the most effective therapies for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, tightening pores, improving skin texture, remedying sun damage and even improving acne and surgical scars. The co2 procedure offers a short recovery period and results can be often be seen after only a single session.

Another new procedure offered at BA Med Spa is co2 vaginal rejuvenation, which is a quick non-surgical laser procedure that not only restores vaginal health, but also treats urinary stress incontinence with a 100% success rate. The procedure can help ease other symptoms such as dryness, vaginal tone, flexibility and even relieve signs of childbirth.

If you’re not convinced the fountain of youth is located at this lavish spa, you may be after hearing the latest in nonsurgical face-lift technology. The treatment is called NovaThreads.

NovaThreads uses dissolvable sutures to lift and smooth the brow, jowl, neck and midface.

There is minimal discomfort and the results look natural.

Unlike a traditional facelift, it is noninvasive with minimal down time.

“At BA Med Spa our mission is to improve the lives of the patients we serve,” says Melody. “We want to make our clients feel comfortable and come up with a custom plan to make them the best version of themselves.” That is one of the reasons BA Med Spa offers a stress-free consultation.

There are always a new array of cutting edge procedures on the menu at BA Med Spa and it’s comforting to know the spa is overseen by physicians and staff who truly care about each and every patient. “We take the time to get to know each person who comes in. We want to know your goals and help you achieve them,” explains Melody.

Voted Tulsa’s Best for five years running, see for yourself why so many people have entrusted BA. Call them at 918-872-9999 to set up your free consultation or visit their website to see their extensive menu of services that will have you rediscovering your youthful self.

1 S T PLACE BROOKLYN PICKARD

Hi! My name is Brooklyn and my mom’s name is Sharon! There are a million reasons why I love my mom but I’ll just outline the big ones. She makes me laugh harder than anyone I know without even meaning to, she just has this naturally funny nature; she can always make a bad day better for me just by cracking a few jokes. Another reason I love her, She has the biggest heart. She cares so deeply about everyone in her life and you’ll never hear her say a bad thing about someone else. My last reason I love my mom; She is my absolute best friend. She’s the first person I call when something good or bad happens to me, she always listens and always gives the best advice, even if it’s something I don’t want to hear. I love her to the moon and back!

2 N D PLACE MCKENNA BROWN

My name is McKenna Brown and I am attending college to become a registered nurse. My mom is one of my closest and best friends. We look and act a lot alike. We occasionally get asked if we are sisters.

My mom has taught me how to be a lady and shows me how to live for Jesus every day. Her life is an amazing example. Her love, friendship, and support mean the world to me. I love her so much!

3 RD PLACE KATIE BUNCH

My name is Katie Bunch and I am 28 years old. The reason why I love my mom is because I can always come to her when I need it and she still helps me out. She is an amazing mom.

ost think of acne as only a problem teenagers face, but as many of us know, it’s a condition that also can affect adults. Years ago, the only solution was a supermarket ointment that dried out your skin, but now there’s a surefire way to treat acne regardless of your age.

Nicole McGinnis, who owns Reveal Salon and Aesthetics at 8929 South Memorial in Tulsa, is a licensed aesthetician who specializes in the treatment of acne.

“I didn’t have acne as a teenager, but when I hit my 20s my face broke out and I wasn’t sure what to do,” says Nicole. Rather than try an over the counter product, she sought the help of a dermatologist, who prescribed medication. “It helped temporarily, but as soon as I quit taking it, the acne was back.” She noticed it not only aff ected her appearance, but her self-confidence as well. Determined to find a better way to remedy the problem, Nicole got her skin-care license and began

Before

studying the best ways to solve the problem so many people face.

“It’s really not a one size fits all,” explains Nicole. Each person comes in for a consult and Nicole discusses diet, lifestyle and product choices that may affect the skin. Then, a light chemical peel is done followed by a custom blend of products based on each person’s specific needs. Sessions are generally performed every two weeks and although results can vary, in about three months, most of the acne has vanished. “We then work with each client on a maintenance program that allows them to stay clear for a lifetime.”

With summer quickly approaching, it’s important to remember facial acne is not the only area of concern.

“People come in to get back and chest acne treated as well,” reminds Nicole.

And with graduation coming up, what better present than a gift card to the salon. It’s also a good time for those home from college to get their appointments scheduled before the summer slips away. Although it

may sound like an expensive process, it’s usually more affordable than seeing a doctor or some of the pricey regiments advertised on television.

Besides acne treatment, Reveal Salon also offers other skin-care solutions such as facials, brow shaping, lash and brow tint, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, OxyGeneo, micro phototherapy, skin tag treatment, Rezenerate, Peptide infusion with oxygen and even custom blended mineral foundation. For complete details, visit their website at www. acnespecialisttulsa.com Reveal Salon and Aesthetics offers traditional services such as hair and nails, but there is also a barber on site to treat that guy in your life to an old-fashioned shave.

PROTECTING WHAT YOU LOVE MOST FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS

BY TERESA BOND-MASON

M

odern technology has made it easier for consumers to protect their homes and other items of great value. But how do you know if the job is getting done correctly? If you worry enough to protect your property, you should be concerned enough to do it right!

At DLSS, they take the challenge of safeguarding homes and businesses to heart. In business since 1997, DLSS prides itself on building relationships with its customers.

Kevin Dyson, who owns and operates the company stresses, “We care about our customers and they are much more than just a name on a sheet of paper to us. We make ourselves available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” That’s one of the many reasons Kevin thinks customers tend to stay with DLSS rather than leave for the next best deal offered to them through a coupon in the mail.

Once thought to only be available to the super rich, home automation and security is available to anyone with a smart device. “We use one platform for security, lights, sound – really just about anything you can imagine,” explains Kevin. This differs from many other companies who provide similar services because rather than one app on your smart device, you need several, which can make it confusing and more difficult to use.

Another aspect to DLSS which makes them unique is the fact they use an open platform, which in

laymen’s terms, means you can go to other retailers and add on other amenities. “We don’t lock our customers out so they are forced to use us for all of their needs. We have built-in flexibility with our programs,” says Kevin.

The most satisfying aspect of of his business is “handling our customers with care”. Kevin says every phone call is always answered by a human and all problems are solved rather than just placing the blame.

“We want to make it right.” His management staff help to make sure that is always the focus. Helping in the office are Office Manager Sophie Woodson and Operations Manager Shannon Morrison and out in the field are Commercial Lead Tech Josh Morrison and Scheduling Manager Anthony Green.

Kevin and his staff are trained and licensed, which is an ongoing process because technology and trends constantly change. “I receive some sort of new training about every 90 days”. Besides keeping up on technology, Kevin also is involved with state legislation that regulates security licensing for Oklahoma.

But, securing your home and business is far from the only services DLSS provides. They also install fire alarms, home and business automation, access control, video surveillance, sound systems, home theatre systems, low voltage and solar lighting, computer networking and gate access systems.

Kevin is quick to point out that he and his staff are happy to discuss

any unusual or high-value items that may take extra engineering.

Guardians of Children

here are guardians among us, fighting a war in the shadows of society’s darkest corners.

They are The Demand Project, and their mission is the eradication of sexual exploitation of children.

The Demand Project was founded

by Jason and Kristin Weis. Their journey began in their peaceful, Colorado home in 2004. One night, their lives were turned upside down, after seeing a horrific story on the evening news about the brutal rape of a small child. As parents themselves, the story struck an emotional chord, and they knew they had to do something to save the lives of the children affected by these crimes. The Weis’s moved to Oklahoma and attended Victory Bible College to obtain the spiritual training they would need to pursue their goals. In 2013, The Demand Project was born. Jason says, “It was our calling to fight to protect children, to put bad guys away, and to restore victims of sex trafficking.”

In the 5 years since they started this vital organization, they have become the authority in their field. “Prevention is the pillar of our organization,” said Jason. The Demand Project is also charged with rescue and restoration of victims. “We assist law enforcement and DHS in finding at risk kids,” said Kristin. “We also facilitate resources with other non-profit organizations to get victims shelter,

Is a longer-term, lower monthly payment loan saving you money?

Probably not.

Lower monthly payments of longerterm loans often come with higher interest rates, which means you end up paying more money over the life of your loan.

When it comes to borrowing money, it’s wise to consider the total cost of your loan.

If you can afford a higher monthly payment, accepting a shorter-term loan could save you thousands of dollars.

Let’s crunch the numbers on a 48-month (4 year) and 72-month (6 year) auto loan with example standard rates of 2.89% annual percentage rate (APR) for 48 months and 3.89% APR for 72 months for qualified buyers.

On a $30,000 new car loan, total interest increases from $1,805 for a 48-month term to $3,687 for a 72-month term – a significant cost difference of $1,882.

Focusing on the total loan cost will help you avoid buying more car than you can afford, plus help you avoid owing more on your car than what it is worth.

The longer the financing term, the more susceptible you are to having negative equity and being upside down on your loan.

A typical new car can lose close to 22-percent of its value in the first year, and roughly 12-percent annually in years two through four, according to data from the online car-pricing company Edmumds.com.

If you do go with longer financing, consider buying Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) coverage to help mitigate the risk of negative equity and having to make additional principal payments after a total loss. Having GAP can help with the difference between the primary insurance settlement and the outstanding balance on your vehicle on the date of loss. Ask your lender for details.

ow in its 72nd year, the Will Rogers Stampede (Stampede) is the 3rd longest running event in Rogers County history. That isn’t the only record the rodeo holds, though. For the last four years, the Stampede has also been voted as PRCA’s top rodeo in its category—No. 1 above 600 other small rodeos! As if that isn’t impressive enough, it is the only PRCA rodeo in Oklahoma to receive the national award three times overall, and the only one to get an award for 4 straight years ever in PRCA history!

Large crowds continue to attend, and the Rodeo Arena Coop, newly formed has been berthed for the mission of improving the grounds to make the annual event even more accessible and enjoyable. Currently there is new fencing and lighting and improvements, such as a new

On Thursday, May 24, at 6 pm a very special dedication of the grounds will take place, renaming it Stampede Park.

Especially significant will be the dedication of the Clem McSpadden Memorial commemorating the 10th anniversary of McSpadden’s death and celebrating his life and contributions. During the ceremony, Tommy Wildcat of the Cherokee Nation will bless the grounds.

McSpadden was the grand-nephew of the legendary Will Rogers. He was also a proud citizen and Tribal Councilman of the Cherokee Nation, a WWII veteran and President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate. Mention cannot be made of McSpadden’s life however, without the recognition of his incredible contributions to the sport of rodeo.

He was a nationally recognized rodeo announcer for ABC’s Wide World of Sports, the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) Star Roping and WRS Radio. McSpadden was also the first American rodeo announcer at the Calgary Stampede. In 1986, he was recognized as the PRCA Announcer of the Year. McSpadden; was also named as the Rodeo Man of the Year by the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Further he was inducted into multiple halls of fame, including: Rodeo Hall of Fame, Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame, Legends of Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and the Legend in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame. In his honor following the dedication ceremony, the Clem McSpadden Tub-Handle Classic Steer Roping will begin at 7 pm.

What You Need to Know About Purchasing a Hearing Aid

BY MARY BRANSFORD

A

re you having trouble hearing?

Do you think a hearing aid might help? Most often, hearing loss sneaks up on you.

Suddenly one day, you notice that you no longer hear the humming of the refrigerator or the birds’ singing.

On average, it takes 10 years for people with hearing loss to finally do something about it. Many people are simply waiting for the hearing problem to go away. Unfortunately, this rarely happens.

Your brain center stores sounds and noises for up to three years following the onset of hearing loss, but after about seven years the memory becomes weaker and weaker. Therefore, it is important to have your hearing tested and hearing aids fitted when you find out that you are losing some of your hearing.

Additionally, hearing loss is also linked to the risk of falling, likeliness to develop dementia, increased risk of depression, and sufferers are also more likely to be hospitalized.

Steve and Miche Dyke, MiracleEar franchise owners, have helped countless people overcome their hearing problems. They opened their first office in Muskogee known as Better Sound Hearing in 1990 and have since grown to 14 offices throughout Oklahoma. In 2015 they became Miracle-Ear.

You may be experiencing hearing loss if you often complain that others are mumbling, or you have difficulty understanding conversations in a group. Hearing aids can make sounds louder, but cannot change how your ears function. Here’s some helpful information to help guide you to improve your hearing.

May 31st is National Hearing Day and reminds us that our hearing is vital, and needs to be protected.

The couple has a passion for helping people. Steve was raised in a family of audiologists and is a board certified hearing instrument specialist and Miche is a registered nurse. “Being in the Miracle Ear group allows us to provide our patients with more warranties for loss and damage, provide better pricing, and expand to offer more services. When you need help or service your warranty can be used without charge at any Miracle-Ear store worldwide,” explained Miche.

“Another wonderful facet of Miracle-Ear is that if you cannot afford a hearing aid, you will not leave without a hearing aid… the Miracle-Ear Foundation’s Gift of Sound hearing aid program helps children and adults with hearing loss gain access to hearing aids. The program is designed for people who demonstrate a personal inability to financially provide for their hearing health needs. For information about eligibility, visit www.miracleearfoundation.org, or see us in our office.” Miche explains.

Their entire staff is licensed in

various capacities which include; a hearing instrument specialist, audiologist, nurses, and even their front office assistants participate in ongoing Miracle-Ear learning modules.

Fitting and maintenance of your hearing aids are of utmost importance. Miche says, “our experienced staff uses all the latest technology to test and diagnose your hearing and will take the appropriate amount of time to make sure your fitting is right for your loss and ensure satisfaction.” When you purchase hearing aids from them, ongoing adjustments of your instruments, batteries and cleanings are always available at any of their locations at no charge.

“Another thing, we help our patients with is education. We teach you about wax management, makeup, and how hair spray can damage your hearing aids. Also, batteries should be changed every one to two weeks for hearing aids that require batteries. Cleaning should be done every 90 days at our office.

Cleanings, for any make or model, at our office are available to no charge

Miche and Steve Dyke are passionate about helping patients hear well.

Heather Carter examines a patient’s inside ear as shown digitally on the computer screen.

Mike Atherton conducts a hearing test.

regardless of where you purchased your hearing aids,” she expressed.

Miche and Steve allow you to try your hearing aids before you buy them. “We want to make sure you are going to wear your hearing aids. The price of your hearing aid will start at about $695.00 and go up depending on what technology and user experience you choose.

One outstanding product they feature is the latest directional beam forming technology found in Miracle-Ear GENIUS RIC hearing instruments which allow hearing aid wearers to actually hear better in noise than their normal hearing peers. “The improvement in speech in noise for users of this technology can relate to a 20 – 30% increase in

speech intelligibility,” related Miche.

If you find yourself asking those around you, “WHAT” more than normal, it is time to get your hearing checked. If so, contact the staff at Miracle-Ear in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, Bartlesville or Muskogee. They will put their years of experience and caring to work for you.

RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

Iron Star urban bbq Before Oklahoma entered statehood, there’s been a strong connection with Oklahoma and outlaws. The vast territory provided many areas for hideouts and easily accessible towns for bank robberies. Interest is spurred when you hear of a restaurant being named for one of Oklahoma’s most notorious female outlaws, Belle Starr. Iron Star Urban BBQ is in the heart of Oklahoma City, neighboring the Paseo Arts District & Crown Heights, 3700 N. Shartel, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The restaurant gives the retro, western feel with wood floors and brick walls. You could just imagine an outlaw dining in a restaurant just like this. But, the food is not outdated. The restaurant offers a fine dining experience with a smokehouse flavor; however, it also offers comfort food with a twist.

They don’t stop there. In keeping with the health food trends, they also offer a gluten free menu. Just a sampling of their main menu, they offer Seaboard Farms Pulled

Pork, an Oklahoma raised pork, which is smoked and hand pulled and also a Black Pepper Crusted Prime Rib (Dinner Only) is served by the ounce (10 oz. minimum) with your choice of two sides with cornbread.

They offer a wide variety of sides, including Dutch oven sweet potatoes, corn pudding and braised collard greens. Mama’s Deviled Eggs, with pepper ceviche and fresh scallion is one of their amazing appetizers. Of course, a fine dining experience must be topped off with a tantalizing dessert, of which, Double Chocolate Bread Pudding with a grand marnier glaze is one option.

If you’re needing a place of host a special gathering, Iron Star Urban BBQ offers a unique, fine dining experience having their own Chef design a special menu of gourmet influence for you and your guests.

We are proud for Iron Star Urban BBQ to be named our May restaurant of the month.

It’s Time to Putt for Pups!

BY MARY BRANSFORD

A

nimal Aid is a non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving sick, injured, and abused stray dogs and cats. They help animals who are sick, neglected, and injured that have been abandoned. These animals are very difficult and expensive to treat. Ultimately, they find loving homes, and encourage respect and awareness for the rights of companion animals.

Their service to our community is funded hugely by donations and fundraising events like the one coming up June 3rd, Animal Aid of Tulsa’s Putting for Pets. It’s a lively golf tournament taking place at Mohawk Park Golf Course, 5223 E 41st St North, Tulsa. Lunch and swag provided to all lucky foursomes who participate. The cost is $300.00 per foursome.

Cheerleaders, press, influencers and fans are admitted free and asked to bring an item or two from their wish list. Items needed are dry dog food, harnesses, and crates; you can also go to Smile.Amazon.com page to check out more needed items.

This website also features a “set as default” charity option that allows you to make a free donation to Animal Aid of Tulsa with qualifying purchases. This is a great way to get involved, have some fun, and help in a truly heartfelt way. Won’t you join in for a furry fun-filled day?

There are many ways to donate and help this organization in a big way. Sponsorships that are available include: Grand Champion Sponsor: $2,500+ • Two (2) foursomes on the day of play • Sponsorship recognition on Animal Aid of Tulsa’s social media platforms • Recognition on Animal Aid of Tulsa’s website for one (1) year • Advertisement & recognition in the Animal Aid of Tulsa’s newsletter • 12” x 18” Hole Signage • Opportunity to give a promotional product to each participant • Special welcoming gift
