What Is The Difference Between Neurotoxins And Dermal Fillers?
When it comes to enhancing one's facial features, several options are available. The most popular are neurotoxins and dermal filler injections. These treatments work to decrease signs of aging by addressing the volume and tightness of the skin. These cosmetic procedures are reasonably easy procedures that can be performed in one office visit. And they both have many benefits that extend beyond aesthetic purposes.

It was a Lovely Cruise..... Top Story - September 2023.
Like the rest of the world, I woke up Saturday morning to the devastating news that Jimmy Buffett had died. I was in shock - total disbelief. My best friend and Buffett loving sister-from-another-mother had texted to give me the sad news. Had he been ill? I wondered, mentally chastising myself for not keeping abreast of Buffett news.

Farewell Jimmy
American singer, songwriter, musician, author, and businessman Jimmy Buffett left this life on September 1, 2023. He is best known for his hit “Margaritaville,” which is a song that made me think of palm trees dancing in the breeze, soft lapping waves upon the shore, and an ice-cold margarita in my hand. He was also a bestselling author and has two restaurant chains named after his best-known songs Margaritaville Café and Cheeseburger in Paradise.

If You Don’t Read This …
If you don’t read this you will probably never know of these songs or these artists. People are often restricted by the media, what they grew up listening or other factors, I am the same, although Janelle Monae’s “Dirty Computer” is one of the most impressive albums I have ever heard and that is relatively recent but there will be none of that on here, this is taking you off the beaten path and down the unsigned road and I could drag in something for the #LikeNoOther series that I started on Seven Days In.
