South Shore Skin Center Esthetician Earns Certification, Extends Spa Treatments to Those with Cancer

March 25, 2013 //  by admin

Mary F. Rico
Plymouth based esthetician Mary F. Rico has completed certification in Clinical Oncology Esthetics® and expands South Shore Skin Center’s practice to serve individuals with, or recovering from, cancer. The certification prepares professional estheticians to provide safe, personalized spa treatments to individuals with health-challenged skin and is earned through Clinical Oncology Esthetics® training facilitated by Touch For Cancer.

Through Clinical Oncology Esthetics® (COE), Ms. Rico underwent extensive training in understanding how cancer and therapy treatments affect the body at the dermal and lymphatic level. The program explored the side effects of cancer therapies, how those are further compounded by various medications and the importance of proper sanitation to support weakened immune systems. Certification also required Ms. Rico to learn how to perform gentle, yet effective protocols using compatible skin care ingredients.

“Beyond keeping South Shore Skin Center on the cutting-edge, this certification will allow me to safely serve a new and very deserving base of individuals with health challenged skin,” Ms. Rico said. “My goal is that through the power of the esthetic touch, I can provide a soothing escape for individuals battling cancer.”

“Estheticians work with the largest organ on the human body – the skin,” said Morag Currin, founder of Touch For Cancer. “Understanding how to safely and effectively treat the skin, particularly when it is challenged by cancer is paramount to the psychological and physical care of the client.”

Ms. Rico will offer the specialized treatments beginning on April 1, 2013 at South Shore Skin Center in Plymouth located at One Scobee Circle, Unit 3.

About Touch For Cancer

Touch For Cancer’s Clinical Oncology Esthetics® training prepares licensed estheticians to provide comfort and relief during esthetic therapy treatments for clients undergoing treatment for, or recovering from, cancer.

Boston Podiatrists Offer Healthy Feet Tips for Seniors

March 20, 2013 //  by admin

Maintaining foot health is especially important in those over 55 years of age.

Dr. Jordana Szpiro, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S. and Dr. Shannon Thompson, D.P.M., podiatrists at Boston Common Podiatry offer the following tips to seniors:

1. Inspect your feet and between the toes daily checking for: dry or cracking skin, corns and calluses, any unusual lesions, discolored or thick nails

2. Clean and moisturize daily.

3. Check your shoe size yearly. If the arch collapses or the foot widens shoes that are too tight or not supportive enough can lead to foot pain, ingrown toenails or painful corns

4. Warning signs something may be wrong:

-Burning, tingling or dulled sensation

-Open sores that appear for no reason

-Delayed healing of wounds

-Foot or leg pain after walking short distances

-Discoloration of feet or toes

5. Diabetic foot care tips:

-Check your shoes and socks for foreign objects before putting them on

-Check temperature of soaking or bath water with the hands first to make avoid scalding.

-Wear white socks only because the dyes in colored socks can be toxic if absorbed into open wounds and cause infection.

-Have shoes sized and fit by a professional

-Be aware of any changes in sensation or circulation

According to Dr. Szpiro, “If you notice a warning sign, don’t wait. Some warning signs that exhibit in the feet can indicate a more serious health issue. Schedule an appointment with your podiatrist as soon as possible.”

March 20, 2013 //  by admin

According to Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing Boston, “We often have clients come to us with a specific bearing need. Our prosthetic manufacturing client required a control bearing which allowed for replication of the movement of the ankle. We developed a thin section bearing that is very precise and able to endure high loads at low speed, in other words, a bearing that supports a human’s weight and movement.”

Emerson Bearing Boston’s bearing expertise has also been tapped in the design of the system for the spare tire on the back of Humvee and Hummers.

Katz continued, “Our clients are innovators. They are creating products for the next generation and we’re honored to advise them during product development.”

Lapels Dry Cleaning announces veteran’s discount for new franchises

March 18, 2013 //  by admin

Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning, an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company headquartered in Hanover, Massachusetts. Lapels recently announced a veteran’s discount for new franchises.

HANOVER, MA…

As an organization, Lapels Dry Cleaning is known for giving back to the community. One way is through its environmentally friendly dry cleaning methods. Clothing drives for various causes–ranging from helping out victims of Superstorm Sandy to standard drives for Big Brother/Big Sister organizations—stands as another. With its new veteran’s discount, Lapels is giving back to people who have given the most: our returning soldiers and service men and women.

Lapels is offering a 20 percent discount off their franchise fees to veterans who purchase a Lapels Dry Cleaning franchise. There’s no prerequisite for number of years served. Any honorably discharged veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces is eligible.

“Our veterans have sacrificed quite a bit for our country and we do owe them more than a debt of gratitude,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning. “With the job market making slow strides towards recovery, some veterans might be more inclined to use the skill set they’ve developed in the military in running their own business. You could not ask for a better franchise opportunity than Lapels.”

Lapels Dry Cleaning has also been named a Military Friendly Franchise® by MilitaryFranchising.com.

Lapels has pioneered its eco-friendly dry cleaning experience for the past 10 years.  Using the latest technology in equipment and cleaning solution, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners in the country able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process. Their environmentally-friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes. At Lapels you can see, feel and smell the difference.

Lapels customers are greeted to a warm and inviting reception area, with friendly customer service representatives, and a full service on-site tailor. Lapels offers its customers Automatic Rewards earning them credit towards free dry cleaning for every dollar they spend, Loyalty Programs, a VIP Program which eliminates the need to wait in line and the use of a 24 Hour Drop Off Service. Same day service is also available with pick-up after 5 pm.

“Our franchise owners come from many walks of life. Some previously owned their own business, some have not. Most had zero experience in the dry cleaning arena. The franchise formula we have in place makes it possible for somebody with the right skill set to buy a franchise and be successful within a relatively short period,” said Dubois.

For information on buying a Lapels Dry Cleaning franchise, please call toll free (866) 695-2735 or email sales@lapelsdrycleaning.com

Can’t wait to sell your lakefront home? You might have to. Lakefront real estate agency builds waiting list of sellers

March 18, 2013 //  by admin

Scott Freerksen, owner of Lakefront Living Realty

MANSFIELD, MA…

Most people in the real estate understand the market is feast or famine. Lakefront Living Realty Owner Scott Freerksen, however has decided to exercise portion control during the spring busy season, limiting the number of properties his Mansfield, Massachusetts-based firm will sell to no more than five at a time.

“After 10 years of selling only lakefront properties, we have discovered a fundamental truth about this niche: Selling a lakefront property is different than any type of real estate. Not only does it take a high level of knowledge and experience with the lakefront lifestyle, but it takes a substantial amount of effort and planning,” said Freerksen. “By making a promise to every seller that we will never carry more than five listings at a time we can guarantee our premier level of service.”

To accommodate customer number six and beyond, Lakefront Living Realty has created a waiting list. Due to the firm’s expertise in selling lakefront property and built-in buyer list, Freerksen doesn’t anticipate lengthy delays, and sellers believe it’s worth the wait.

Freerksen and his Lakefront Specialty Agents start with the understanding that a buyer is not buying a house, they are buying a lake and a lifestyle. Therefore, the details of the lake itself become the number one consideration. To that end, Lakefront Living’s website solves a number of the issues prospective buyers face when looking for lakefront property.

First, the site  displays ONLY direct lakefront properties from the entire MLS; taking a typical three-hour search down to 15 seconds. Second, the site provides specifications of every lake in New England. After 10 years of research and counting, Lakefront Living has an extensive lake database, all online. Third, the brokerage provides local lakefront specialty agents to coach buyers through the uniqueness of a lakefront purchase.

Currently, more than 25,000 lakefront buyers visit LakefrontLiving.com every month. Five thousand of those visitors have registered on the site as serious buyers anxiously awaiting the next Lakefront Living Realty listing.

“Sellers are starting to understand that whomever controls the buyers holds the key to selling lakefront listings faster and for top dollar”, Freerksen added. “We capitalized the lakefront buyer market. Our website, combined with our popular Keys to Buying Lakefront Property seminar, enables our 5,000 buyers to be the best educated and qualified lakefront buyers in the marketplace.”

Approximately every 10 days, the brokerage adds the next listing to their family of lakefront homes. 90% of the times, their listings sell to one of their own 5000 buyers. When that is the case, Lakefront Living Realty reduces their commission rate. Everyone wins.

Jeanne Wallace was a lakefront homeowner on Lake Maspenock in Hopkinton, MA. “Listing with Scott’s team was a great experience. I would secretly listen in when Lakefront Living Realty agents were showing the property. They never talked about bedrooms and bathrooms. They always discussed the lifestyle the buyers would be enjoying; early morning kayak rides, dinner boat cruises, grandkids playing on the beach, etc. They hooked them emotionally, and that made all the difference. It sold quickly, for over asking price, to one of their registered buyers.”

So why does Lakefront Living Realty have a waiting list of sellers?

“It goes against conventional industry wisdom, but we provide premier personalized service utilizing extensive nationwide marketing plans and professional photos and videos to properly sell the lakefront lifestyle,” said Freerksen. “We can’t do that if we are carrying 40 to 50 listings. Once we take on a client, they receive 100 percent of our attention.”

Adds Freerksen, “Most Realtors are generalists, and that’s OK, but they lack the lifestyle experience to succeed in this niche. Eighty percent of our listings come from sellers who tried and failed when hiring ‘the most popular realtor in town’. All our agents live on lakes themselves, they can walk the walk and talk the talk.”

About Lakefront Living Realty, LLC

Based in Mansfield, Massachusetts, Lakefront Living Realty, LLC is a full service real estate brokerage specializing solely on the purchase and sale of pond and lakefront property in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Owner Scott “The Lake Guy” Freerksen, a Real Estate Broker and Realtor, founded Lakefrontliving.com in 2003 as way to support his real estate practice and to bring to potential buyers and sellers a website that features direct lakefront homes. All the “riverfront”, “oceanfront”, “across the street”, “within walking distance” homes are taken out of the site.
