Want to Look Your Best? Have a Great Smile! | May 4, 2009

By Dr. Alan R. Grodin D.D.S.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and said to yourself… “Wow!  I look really good right now!”?  We all have had those moments when we would love to capture how we look at that exact instant and be able to look like that all the time.  It’s the time when your hair is perfect, your skin looks beautiful and your outfit is just right.  Unfortunately, for many of us those moments don’t happen nearly enough.

Take a Beauty Break and Look your Best! | May 1, 2009

Usually, once a year, I spend about a week at the beach with my family. When I do the beach thing I tend to abandon anything that reminds me of my every day routine, and that includes applying makeup and blow drying my hair.

I Believe I’m Laying On The Beach | April 1, 2009

Saturday morning my son played baseball, despite the temperature not reaching 40 degrees. Despite a Wind Advisory with gusts of wind strong enough to wipe out a t-ball player! Nevertheless, we played. Played, and won…

As I tried to comfort the chilly and crying kids and just endure the cold, I transported myself to the beach.

One more character flaw? Despite what you may think, I’m pretty shy. In my comfort zone, I am personable, funny, and enjoy a group of people. When I am out of my comfort zone? I’m quietly stressing out and anxious. Growing up, many peers at school thought I was mean or bitchy, intimidating and mean… oh shoot, if you only knew that … Read More »
