Choosing a restaurant reminds me of the first few lines of the old Girl Scout song: make new friends but keep the old. New friends (i.e., places to dine) can easily be made with the help of various Tucson's polls, reviews in the paper and the best advertisement of all - word of mouth.

You can find healthful options in all my favorite eateries. These include Starbucks (love its bistro boxes), Blue Willow (having lunch on the spacious patio is as relaxing as time spent at a mini-spa) and Vivace (its hot bread and homemade olive oil pesto are the prelude to a great … Continue reading →

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jun 6, 2013) - Dr. Paul M. Friedman, a New York dermatologist, prides himself on keeping his practice up to date with the latest technology the dermatology field has to offer. Many patients visit his office seeking tattoo removal, and with the PicoSure Picosecond Laser Workstation, his patients will now receive more effective treatment in a shorter timespan. Dr. Friedman's patients have a variety of reasons for wanting to remove their tattoos. Tattoos can become stretched, deformed, or discolored as a person ages. Sometimes a tattoo simply no longer fits in with the patient's current lifestyle. According to CynoSure, the developer of the new laser, the average laser tattoo removal patients are college-educated and between the ages of 24-39 years old.
