Teeth Whitening

Academy of General Dentistry says teeth whitening  is absolutely safe and also effective.  Very few people suffer from tooth sensitivity and gum irritation.  The Teeth Whitening Studio has found that if you have used over the counter whitening products your teeth and gums may be more sensitive than others.  This is rare.  We have been whitening since 2007 and found that less than 3% of the population have any issues with the bleaching process.  We are FDA approved, State inspected, State and City licensed.  Do you wonder how the celebrities get their teeth so white?  They whiten their teeth with the exact same process we do.  Teeth whitening is a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of tooth enamel.  Whitening gel and the blue LED light we use removes most stains with gentle action as the active ingredient in the gel is broken down and oxygen acts upon the stained organic deposits (food and drink coloration), which oxidizes them into a white color.  This makes your tooth color closer to the unstained color of your tooth.   Your tooth structure will remain uneffected and any dental work will be unchanged.  This process can take off the stains of  older veneers.  The  veneers also build up stains, with whitening the stains will be removed and the color of the original veneer will be returned.  Many clinical trials have been demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the whitening process.  You will notice immediate results and be thrilled that you came to see us!

No Way!

Okay, I tried to get out of my shell but it didn’t work. I went out and socialized and couldn’t wait to get home. It is not the people, it is me. I work at Restorative Light Therapies, an aeshetic medical spa I own. I would rather work than go out or I would rather go home. I’m just drained after I work but I would have it no other way. So I am going to live with myself and just accept who I am. We all need to accept who we are and just improve on ourselves. It is close to the new year and many people make some resolutions. Just make one improvement this year with your self. Doesn’t have to be that you are going to quit smoking or loss weight maybe just something minor. I am going to find more social networks for my business and work on that. It is something that I should be working on any way but my little middle-aged brain has this idea that it is difficult. Pushing yourself to be what you want to be is all I can ask, yes it is a big resolution but if you do it slowly say one thing a year and can be done. Happy New Year and bring on the new you!

Getting out of my Shell?

Oh, gosh I am going to have to start networking. Don’t want to. Just want to go home after work and sit on my fat ass and watch some TV and drink some Vino. I know I know not very smart but hey I am pooped after work and just want to go home and destress. Lame excuse. I am a business owner 24/7, I gotta take care of my business or there won’t be a business. Networking is part of the taking care of the business. Don’t get me wrong I like people just want to have them come in my business and I can have a good time with them here. I don’t want to have to redo my make up, tease my hair and try to figure out something so people won’t know that I am fat. I am in a beauty business, feel self-conscious. I should be thin and HOT! But I am not, I am just me trying to give YOU the best treatments and the most bang for you buck. You know the buck doesn’t go far but at my place it does, I make every dollar count. I love you all! You come in hoping to look better when you leave and I DELIVER! Waiting for my sister’s hair to dry so we can leave and get free food and booze. Now, doesn’t that sound like something I should look forward to?

It’s almost over

I have been trying to expand my business since April ‘09. It is just so ridiculous that the banks are still not lending money. I think to myself as I get discouraged, torn apart, wanting to pull my hair out about Elvis Presley who got turned down 12 times by recording studios. I’m I an Elvis and try and try and try? I am getting to the point of is it worth it? Will people come? Will this add stress to my bank account? I am not a person that gives up easily but you would think after 5 months of trying I would get the break that I have so been seeking. I often wonder if it is in the cards for me this expansion of my business. I have been turned down by 6 banks. That is not an easy one to stomach when you have been doing things right in your life like good credit score, equity and a business that is profitable. I keep trying just like Elvis, I get in my older van, I unlock the metal and glass door and walk on my black floors to my place of business. I look around at all the clients pictures, letters of thanks all over my steel gray walls and I continue with the race.

To do or not to do……..

I have to admit I have been very stressed. You see I have the world on my shoulders it seems. I have to make sure my business stays afloat in this economy and make sure my family is taken care of. Taken care of in the means of being feed, house payment made and utilities on and a vehicle to transport us safely. I am not expecting luxury items or vacations I am just so grateful that my business is surviving. I love what I do, I am very lucky. I treat each person individually and I don’t know where that came from but I do. It was not because I wanted to make sure that they refer me to their friends it is because I actually care about them and care what kind of results they get. I always do my best and if there is stubborn stains I make sure that I address them with the knowledge that I have learned from doing many whitenings. I am lucky I have such wonderful clients that have come in and yes about 30% of my business is referrals. I have been asked to write about my blog titled worked and I am so happy people have read it and found it hopeful. I wish each person could do what they loved in life. You can’t give up. I have done many things and yes some of them was stupid like owning my own restaurant in a little town. I lost money but I learned. learning has lead me to where I am in business. I am not a fast learner but I do take the knowledge and use it. If something crawls up my butt I go and pursue it. I may not do it but I take the chance to find out if it is possible. In these times it is perfect to start and spread your wings that you have let them be clipped. Let your wings grow and go forward. Some day you may feel as lucky as I am even in these stressful times! And yes I do dream of a vacay to Walt Disney World at some time.

Working

I got a bone to pick. In this economy why do people still think they can do business like they did a few years ago. Take this for instance. We are looking for a bigger location and was looking into Hawthorne. The first dum dum I talked to was the wrong rep for the area and wasted a week with him. The next guy took a week to get ahold of us and then time kept slipping away. When we set an appointment for 6:30 on Thursday evening you could tell he was iffy on it. Like he was saying in his peanut size brain “I get off at 6 and that is too late for me”. He didn’t say it until the next day when he called and said “I think it would be better for you if we met at 4:30.” I said “No, we don’t close until 6″. Told him to forget it. I was thinking in my elephant size brain what an f’ing idiot! He just lost a client and there are tons of places to look at. I will do anything or about anything for a client. I want them to be happy. My clients are the reason why I can put the key in the front door every morning. I want every client to feel that they come first with me for the time of the treatment. I make sure of this even after over 1500 clients.

Her Expo

I had a pretty good time at Just for Her Expo. There wasn’t that many booths but for a first time show for Her Life Magazine and hercityguide they did really well. They even had free food that was outstanding by Baja 600 had spin dip (geez was this fabs!), Zest had meatballs and mac n chez, Bice Bistro has an italian dessert and a fruit soup, Trezo Mare had this chicken creamy dip that made me say yummy!, Andres chocolates was there giving out free chocolate ladies, Ingredient was giving out a fresh salad and a fruit cold soup. There were tons of medical spas there if you wanted something done to the aging puker you could easy have found some one you liked. Lots of purses, clothes, jewelry and some flip flops that sparkled. I just can’t get enough of the bling bling on my feet. Next year it is going to be twice as big as this one maybe you will see us there!

Bunny Hop!

Another hugely successful event for the Downtown Lee’s Summit promotions commitee and all that participated! Hundreds of kiddies and their baskets hoping around getting candy from so many businesses. There were 28 business in all and most gave out prizes to a girl or boy because they were the store’s representative and wore a sash with the store’s name. This idea was Chuck Denton’s from Doherty & Sullivan’s Irish Goods. My fav was a little girl who dressed up like a chicken and another was a boy carrying a huge box with a handle with tons of candy he glued onto the box. Fun day with beautiful weather!

unReal Housewives

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Have you ever had a party and it turned out to be awash? You were thinking I should have done my laundry instead of planning a get together with all my fab friends? When it is time for the party to arrive your ready, your set and you are ready to fire to get the party started. Then hardly any one shows up, no one likes the food and your uninvited guests Pete n Repete are so obnoxious that people are leaving early? This party was the OPPISITE! It rocked with tons of people. Sitzmark handing you sweet cocktails, interesting GORGEOUS people, catered yum yums, and these FABULOUS women were there. Who am I talking about? I am talking about the unReal Housewives of Kansas City and they held a smash out party at trendz! They are on the cover of 435 South April issue.
