August is a great time to schedule all your Back-To-School check-ups and appointments. First on my To-Do List is getting my children’s eyes examined at Treehouse Eyes. We show our children the world, but our kids still need to be able to see it for themselves. I recently took my daughter Ella to our local Treehouse Eyes practice for a comprehensive eye exam to check for vision problems like myopia. Myopia is short-sightedness, an eye condition where distant objects aren’t seen clearly. It’s a common eye condition in school-age children. This condition can progress until the eye stops growing ..read more

One of the best ways to look healthy and a little more youthful is with a whiter smile and I just had my first Zoom Whitening Treatment done at Tysons Dental Spa in Tyson’s Corner.  In my previous life as a part time television commercial actress and commercial print model, I was hired primarily because of my smile. The aging process can certainly take a toll on your smile because of thinning enamel from acid erosion and regular friction. Normal everyday wear and tear can greatly expose the yellowing dentin beneath your teeth.  Although, I’ve been maintaining my twice annual dental ..read more
