Look Your Best This Season: Plan Ahead for Party-Ready Eyelid Surgery |
‘The winter season in South Florida is bustling with weddings, outdoor food and arts festivals, international boat shows, and major sports events. It’s undeniably the season to be seen, so why not ensure you look and feel your absolute best. One of the most effective ways to refresh your appearance before a big event is through eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). This popular procedure reduces puffiness, smooths wrinkles, and restores a more youthful, rested look to your upper and lower eyelids. It even makes applying makeup easier by creating a smoother eyelid surface – perfect for getting event-ready. But timing is everything when it comes to surgery, especially if you want to be “party-ready” for your big day..... Read More |

“How to Cope When Your Kids Leave Home: Advice From a College Student” |
|
“Wake up. It’s the first day of the rest of your life.” My dad turned the lights on in my room, but I kept my eyes closed. I had come to refer to August 20, 2021 as the day my life in Miami would “expire”–this began after I picked up a carton of milk labeled with the same date as my departure for college. Soon I would pack up my clothing, the blanket I couldn’t sleep without, and more books than I could realistically read during the academic year, and begin a life in Nashville. When my parents and little brother finished moving me into my closet-sized dorm, which I shared with another Miami native, everyone took turns saying goodbye. My dad handed me a stack of paper, entitled “Things to Keep in Mind in College.” What followed was at once thoughtful, honest, and excessive. Four years later, as I prepare to graduate from Vanderbilt University, I think daily of these two instances–of the letter and my father’s comment about the rest of my life beginning. Because, beyond the tips that alcohol is bad for me, boys can be mean, and school should be a priority, my dad seemed to say: I’m excited... Read More |

Luxury Meets Heavy-Duty Power in Sierra Denali |
When you think of heavy-duty trucks, images of construction sites and rugged workhorses typically come to mind. However, GMC’s Sierra Denali 2500 HD (Heavy Duty) challenges these conventional notions by wrapping serious capability in a package that wouldn’t look out of place at a luxury hotel valet. Starting at $60,000, the Denali trim has long represented GMC’s pinnacle of refinement, and the 2500 HD version takes this philosophy into the heavy-duty segment with conviction. The first thing that catches your eye is the imposing chrome grille, featuring the distinctive Denali pattern that’s become a symbol of durability in its own right. The LED lighting signature, including the C-shaped running lights, adds a premium touch while providing excellent illumination...... Read More |
