Botox

BEAUTY TIPS

The Fountain of Youth

By Beauty Expert Christine Lewy

What is it exactly?

Botox is a natural occurring substance called a neurotoxin that technically prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and thus causes muscle paralysis.

It sounds scary, but it’s not. Simply put it relaxes the muscles, usually of the face, to smooth out wrinkles. There are four different brands that are all sometimes referred to as “Botox” just like the term “Kleenex”. The brands include the original Allergan brand Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®. These four have been FDA approved for cosmetic use of the treatment of wrinkles.

How much does it cost?

Botox prices are based on how many units you need for the area or areas you like to treat. Prices range from $12-21 per unit depending on where you go.

Why should you get Botox?

Younger and younger clients are opting for Botox.

Why? Because when you start getting Botox, your wrinkles will never get worse, in theory. So say you start at age 30 when fine lines are starting to appear.

Well technically if you stay on top of your Botox treatments, which is about every 3-6months, you will have your 30 year old complexion when you’re 60 because the wrinkles were never allowed to form. Botox is definitely preventative as well as corrective for those who already have wrinkles.

How long does it take?

When you receive Botox make sure to ask your provider what to expect. For traditional Botox® brand Botox, you should expect full results to take 14 days.

What can you expect?

One of the most common things I hear from clients is that they are scared to get Botox. I get it! When I got Botox for the first time, I was a nervous wreck. I thought it was going to hurt, or somehow make me sick, or migrate to my legs to be honest. I was even well informed, and I was still so nervous, so it’s normal if you are nervous too. After your first treatment, you will most likely feel how I did: shocked at how fast and easy the process was and a little silly for being so scared, and then voila! 14 days later so in love with how flawless your skin looks.

STILL A Seasonal Tradition From Their F a m i l y T o Yo u r s !

Written By Dennis McNabb

W

e all know that 2020 has been a rough year so far, and pretty much every planned event this year has been either cancelled or significantly altered. However, I am excited to tell you all that the Fall Harvest Festival extravaganza at Frog Pond Farm is still on! That’s right folks, fall is upon us and that means your favorite pumpkin patch in Wilsonville has a lineup of fun-filled fall activities on deck.

As you can imagine, it’s been a challenge to prepare a festival that will provide all the fun that families expect while having to alter activities to keep in compliance with

•

state guidelines.

But at Frog Pond Farm they are making the best of things, and have come up with quite the extensive array of new and exciting events. This is one of their favorite times of the year, and it’s when they really get to spend some of their hard-earned time interacting with the community, so they’re not about to let these challenging circumstances stand in their way!

How’s this all going to work you ask? Justin Timm and the whole family at Frog Pond Farm (this is an actual working family-owned farm!), have come up with the brilliant idea of transforming the regular festival into a drive-thru Pumpkin Patch Farm Safari! In an effort to comply with state guidelines and keep everyone safe, they’ve set everything up so that visitors can stay in their cars and enjoy all the sights from a short distance.

8 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • OCTOBER 2020

As you drive slowly through the safari, you will be able to view over 20 different animal pens and displays of various kinds - all of which are fall and Halloween-inspired but still family-friendly. Think of it this way. You get to enjoy a lot of the same things you have in years past, but without all the walking!

In addition, they will have several interactive games for you and your kids to participate in from your cars. If you choose to do so (the games are optional), you can purchase a package there on-site. The package will provide you with a variety of throwing items (small pumpkins, apples, corn, etc.) which you can then use for some target practice.

They even have planned a Connect 4 game, similar to Tic-Tac-Toe, that’s sure to be a blast! Be nice with those projectiles though kids (and dads)!

To make things even more fun and interesting, they are simultaneously going to be holding a display competition and single scarecrow competition, meaning that some of the displays you will be

admiring are actually designed and constructed by your friends and neighbors! Make sure to pay close attention to each and every display (which will all be labeled and numbered) as you drive through so you can vote for your favorite. They’ll give you a voting ballot form at the outset of the safari, and be sure to choose carefully first prize for the best display is $5,000, which will be announced on Halloween Day! For anyone concerned about getting stuck behind a particularly slow car or anything of that nature (although you really don’t want to rush through this!), there will be multiple loops and routes that can be taken. The main route will house all of the displays, but they will also have some added loops to take you to other attractions.

Of course, you don’t want to miss out on the pumpkin patch!

Yes, you will still be able to follow your annual tradition and take the little ones out of the car to wander through the patch and pick out the perfect pumpkin. There will be some slight restrictions regarding space and social distancing, but that particular part of the festival will be relatively the same as usual.

The Safari will be open to all starting October 5th and will run from 10am to 5 pm every day, through the 31st. For those looking for more of a Halloween-focused experience, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights from 5pm to 7pm, they will be presenting a special “Spooky Safari”. This is still very familyfriendly and won’t scare the little ones; it’s just geared more towards a Halloween style.

For those who really want a scare, on weekends from dark until 10pm they will also be adding a “Haunted Forest” attraction. This will be a Haunted House type of experience, but out in the woods, where they can maintain crowd control and proper social distancing. Make sure to wear good walking shoes and bring a flashlight.

When it comes to the best local places to visit this fall, it doesn’t get any better than Frog Pond Farm! They are a local, family-owned business who truly love what they do and love being a part of our community. They provide a one-of-a-kind seasonal experience that comes from the heart, building their own holiday traditions while

helping you and your family make your own. A lot of work goes into their Fall Harvest Festival each year, but obviously this year has set an even greater challenge.

They are going above and beyond to bring local families some joy this year and make the season special, so come support this wonderful family-run business!

This year has been crazy enough, so take some time to get out with the family and enjoy some of the simpler things in life. If there’s been any sort of silver lining to all the chaos this year, I hope that it’s the reminder that we all need to slow down, un-plug, and make the time to create memories with those we love. Come on down to Frog Pond Farm and connect with your loved ones in a festive and seasonal environment that highlights all the natural beauty of autumn in the Pacific Northwest.

Frog Pond Farm is located at 2995 SW Advance Road in Wilsonville.

For more information give them a call at 503-475-5997, visit their website at www.thefrogpondfarm.com, or find them on Facebook.

Taste Of The Town the

HUMAN BEAN

T

homas Jefferson once referred to coffee as “the favorite drink of the civilized world.” Who can argue with that? Especially here in the Pacific Northwest (where 3 out of the 4 seasons are marked by the typically dreary weather we have a reputation for), coffee places are as common as convenience stores, if not moreso.

Here in Wilsonville, one of our favorite purveyors of coffee (and other beverages for those anti-coffee people out there) is The Human Bean. Of course, these denizens of deliciousness aren’t brewing up mere plain black coffee - oh no! They’re building flavor profiles that sound (and taste) like they belong on the dessert menu at some fancy French restaurant. Cleverly concocted creamy creations of caffeine to comfort us on cold days; the foamy deliciousness is like sunshine in a cup!

The Human Bean originated right here in Oregon, starting with the opening of the first location in Ashland in 1998. The company franchised in 2002, and today they are rocking and rolling with 107 locations and growing!

You may wonder, with so many options in our area when it comes to coffee, how does a business like The Human Bean emerge and thrive? In a word, passion. The owners have an enormous passion for high-quality coffee. In another word, demand. They saw a demand for quality coffee served conveniently (the majority of their locations are drive-thru) by friendly, experienced baristas. They focused on their passion, rose to the demand, and the rest is history!

Aly Koehnke is the Director of Operations and co-owner of 4 locations here in the Portland Metro Area, including the Wilsonville location.

She started out 13 years ago working at the Canby location (which is corporately-owned) and loved it so much that she worked her way up into management and then ultimately became a franchisee.

During her time managing the Canby store, she met her current business partner Josh Veentjer (who was already a franchisee) and they joined forces to grow the brand. Having worked directly with corporate at the top levels of the company, Aly knows firsthand the values that The Human Bean is built on, and her success is a testament to them. She sincerely loves and believes in this brand, and is passionate about sharing all it has to offer with the community.

Another value that sets The Human Bean above and beyond is their commitment to top-notch customer service. Yes, they consistently serve delicious, high-quality drinks (and food) made from the best ingredients.

Yes, they have beautifully designed, clean and efficient stores that are conveniently located for their customers. Yes, they are locally owned with a strong presence in their communities, and yes, they do top off your drink with a delicious chocolate-covered espresso bean! But on top of all that, you get a fantastic service experience every time.

Speaking of company values, the Human Bean actually has their own coffee sourcing program called Farm Friendly Direct. As the title suggests, they work directly with farmers around the world, building long-term relationships in an attempt to not only ensure the steady supply of quality beans available, but also to help support those farming communities with consistent business. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!

The beans are then sent to Portland Coffee Roasters, another of their long-term business partners. Portland Coffee then roasts and delivers the beans to them on a weekly basis, so they’re always fresh! It’s a special unique blend that you can’t get anywhere else, and the proof is in the pudding, as they say - or in this case, it’s in the coffee. You will never get a substandard cup of coffee at any of their locations. It never tastes “burnt,” it’s always smooth and creamy, never bitter, and never too sweet. The love is in the details!

Go to any of their locations and you will experience it firsthand. Their baristas are friendly, professional, and experienced - and more than happy to help you choose or conceive your new favorite drink or breakfast sandwich. This is no accident; the owners and managers of The Human Bean have carefully cultivated this friendly and open environment to ensure that you have the best experience possible.

If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and visit The Human Bean today. The weather is turning colder, so it’s the perfect time to get a delicious cup of cheer to warm the soul and share a smile with your barista. Once you’ve gone Bean, you’ll never go back!

The Human Bean is located at 25250 SW 95th Avenue in Wilsonville, next to Carl’s Jr. Call them at 503-826-5170 or visit www.thehumanbean.com for more information.

Home Fire Safety And CLARK Prevention by Dennis McNabb LUMBER these openings and fail to set off the alarm. Also, don’t install them in kitchens, bathrooms or living rooms since steam from cooking, hot showers and smoke from candles or fireplaces can set them off unnecessarily. Carbon monoxide detectors that are not combined with a smoke alarm unit should be installed lower to the floor.

Y

ou never know when disaster can strike, and that has never been more clear than in recent months. It’s important to take precautions for fire safety, and to prepare and plan ahead in case the worst should happen.

First, work together to make an emergency escape plan. If possible, include two routes for getting out of each room. Draw a map and review the plan with the whole family once a month. Retractable ladders are a necessity for 2 story houses (or higher) when bedrooms are upstairs. Make sure all family members know how and have practiced climbing out the window and down the ladder, crawling to stay under smoke during escape, and covering their mouths and noses with shirts or towels.

Designate one person to help young children, the elderly or pets. Decide on a meeting place outside of the building.

Be sure everyone is familiar with both the sound of the fire alarm and also the “Stop, Drop, and Roll” technique for extinguishing fire on their clothing or hair. Keep fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage, and basement and know how to use them.

Next, make sure working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed, and regularly check the batteries in each. Consider using alarms powered by lithium batteries since they can last up to 10 years (which is also the life expectancy of your detectors). Be sure your devices are mounted high on the wall inside bedrooms or adjacent hallways, or preferably on the ceiling since smoke always rises. Do not install smoke detectors near windows or outside doors, as the smoke can slip through cracks in 18 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • OCTOBER 2020

Third, practice fireplace safety by regularly checking to make sure your fireplace is properly maintained. That means checking to be sure it’s vented to the outside and inspect for any leaks in the exhaust pipe. Clean your chimney with chimney rods and brushes or hire a professional for annual cleaning. Don’t burn anything other than natural wood and never leave fires unattended. Also be sure to monitor the activities of children and pets when a fire is going.

Fourth, practice electrical safety. Check all appliances for worn plugs or cracked wires, and call a professional if you run into any trouble. It’s best not to attempt electrical repairs on your own. Never use electrical appliances near water and make sure you’re not using oversized fuses or circuit breakers anywhere in the house.

This can be dangerous, and is also less efficient. Always unplug things by pulling the plug, not the cord, and never break the ground prong of a three-prong plug to make it fit into a two-prong outlet. Instead, use an adapter.

Using a few simple precautions, you and your family will be safer from fire hazards, and better prepared in case of emergency.

T W E N T Y-T W E N T Y

by Jenna Preston, Active Media Contributing Writer

lthough walking around outside with masks on is par for the course these days, Halloween will probably need to be celebrated differently this year. Restrictions on social gatherings are likely to remain in place for several more months, and with many people reluctant to venture out or greet others at their front door, it’s time to get creative with your plans for this spooky holiday.

Here are some ideas for unique and interesting ways to make this Halloween one of the best ones ever, while still observing all recommended guidelines and keeping your family safe.

PUMPKINS ARE A MUST

If your local pumpkin patch is open, go pick out your pumpkins for this year, or get them from the grocery store. Carve your pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns or paint them with some scary designs. Don’t forget to roast those yummy pumpkin seeds when you’re done!

DECORATE YOUR HOUSE & YARD Find as many orange and black decorations as you can, or make some yourself and go to town like it’s creepy Christmas!

For extra points, create some ambiance with scary music or sound effects.

DRESS UP

You may not be going out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still wear a costume. If you’re the competitive type, set up a Zoom party with your friends and take a vote or have a judge decide which costume is the best.

MAKE SOME SPOOKY SNACKS

There are tons of recipes online for all sorts of crazy Halloween-themed goodies, from cute spider cookies and icky eyeball hors d’oeuvres to all kinds of witches’ brew cocktails. Pick out a few things to try and have some fun in the kitchen.

24 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • OCTOBER 2020

HAVE A CANDY-EGG HUNT ... HALLOWEEN-STYLE

Just because trick-or-treating may not happen this year, that doesn’t mean you have to skip the candy!

Pull out those plastic easter eggs and fill them with candy, then hide them around the house. To make it even more interesting, and scary, keep the house dark and use flashlights while hunting. (You can always skip the eggs and hide the candy itself if the pieces are individually wrapped.)

HAVE A MOVIE MARATHON

Pop some popcorn (maybe throw in some candy corn), and kick back for some Halloween entertainment! Whether it’s a lineup of terrifying horror flicks, seasonal classics like Hocus Pocus, or family friendly options like Scooby Doo and It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, you’re sure to have a great night.

“BOO” YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS

Who says Halloween can’t be a time for random acts of kindness? Drop off a Halloween goodie bag or a decorated pumpkin on the doorsteps of your loved ones, with a tag that lets them know they’ve been “boo’d.” This could be done anonymously, or even “secret-Santa” style. ◾

When we think of witches we may think of horror movies or Halloween. But for America’s 17th-century Puritan seďż˝lers, witches were real, and their new home in Massachuseďż˝s was a place ďŹ lled with fear and uncertainty.

For some wealthy climbers, the lure of climbing to the peak of Mt. Everest can be intoxica�ng.

But what happens when their goal is so popular it causes conges�on and lines?

ART & CULTURE

MEET THE MUSICIAN:

CHRISTINA COOPER

by Dennis McNabb

If you haven’t yet heard Christina sing at any of the numerous local events she has performed at over the last 9 years or so, you may know her instead as her daytime alter ego: hair stylist & colorist extraordinaire at In Color Salon (although during COVID, she has been forced to work out of a private studio). That’s right, she’s both a professional hair stylist and recording artist, and a mother of 3 on top of it all!

She truly is a superhero!

How does she do it all? Well, Christina began singing at age 4 and performed at numerous state and regional honors choir concerts in the Bay area (winning multiple awards) and took any opportunity to sing at weddings and various other events over the years. Though she’s never stopped singing, when she was in college she decided to pursue her other passion of cosmetology.

H

ere’s a pitch for a new superhero movie: a female superhero who is a mild-mannered hairstylist by day and a powerhouse vocalist by night. She could throw ninja scissors (instead of stars) and her voice could mesmerize and stun the villains like a siren. Sounds great, right?

Well you may be surprised to hear that this dazzling diva already exists, and she’s right here in Wilsonville!

Christina Cooper (who lives, works, and performs right here in Wilsonville) is seriously the one of the best female vocalists you’ll ever hear. You may have seen an on-line advertisement last year for the Wilsonville Rotary Summer Concert series which featured Christina as a co-headliner with Johnny Limbo & the Lugnuts, and if you were lucky you made it to the performance. If so, you’ll know first hand why the ad compared her voice so aptly to the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Ann Wilson (from Heart), Linda Rondstadt, and Patty Griffin. This is no hyperbole. She is that good!

28 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • OCTOBER 2020

Christina graduated from cosmetology school and has been “bringing out the intrinsic beauty” in every one of her clients for almost 20 years since. She absolutely loves what she does and just so happens to be amazing at that as well, which is clearly evidenced by the fact that some of her clients have been with her since she started. Along the way she also moved to Wilsonville, got married, had a family, and has managed to continue sharing her fantastic voice with the world all the while.

Now Christina has taken her first love of singing into a more professional arena. She plans to continue performing locally once restrictions on live performances are lifted, but in the meantime she’s recorded an album called “No Other Place.” If you haven’t yet heard it, prepare to get chills! I have no doubt if any of the comic book villains heard it, they’d be stunned into submission by her soulful voice.

You can find Christina’s stylist accounts on Instagram and Facebook at @hairartistchristina. For her music, check out @christinacoopermusic on both platforms as well. You can also reach out to her by email at cmcstylist@gmail.com.

Ahead Of The Curve And Working For You!

By Dennis McNabb

H

ello, all you home buyers and sellers out there! If you’ve been following along over the past few months with us and our real estate experts, Jaimy and Sherine from Beltran Properties Group, then you’ll be aware of the fact that (contrary to normal trends) right now is a terrific time to be in the market. Typically things are slowing down in the fall, but due to very low interest rates and a scarcity of available properties in the Portland Metropolitan area, the market is still hot.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, now is the time to do it - and the team at Beltran Properties is here to assist you in the process.

“Virtual Realty” Beltran Went Cloud Based 2 Years Ago

It’s no longer news that the events of 2020 have altered our reality and transformed our sense of “normal” for the foreseeable future, if not indefinitely. Working remotely through virtual systems has become exponentially more common in recent months, but Beltran Properties Group was ahead of the game in anticipating the need for this service and switched to a virtual brokerage 2 years ago.

The technology being used for this virtual office is far ahead of so many other programs. It’s so progressive and advanced, in fact, that the brokerage firm is being tapped to design similar platforms for Ivy League Colleges, professional sports teams and parts of the U.S. Government. Sherine and Jaimy didn’t realize at the time what a profound and integral role this new technology would play into their business, at least not until COVID hit.

At first, the new platform proved to be useful in assisting customers in myriad ways that were previously unavailable, but the true extent of its value wasn’t fully realized until earlier this year. Since the platform had the capability to allow them to work 100% remotely, they never missed a beat due to the shutdowns. In fact, because they were so uniquely set up, they’ve even been able to increase their business and help customers better than ever before.

While the current conditions have created huge hurdles for many companies, Beltran Properties is sailing smoothly ahead without a hitch. If you’re in the market, you need a realtor who has the ability to focus on your needs without distraction, and the Beltrans are more than prepared to meet the challenge.

30 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • OCTOBER 2020

Jaimy & Sherine Beltran Working From Home Means A Need For New Spaces In addition to their superior technology and remote capabilities, Jaimy and Sherine are keenly aware of the latest trends in the real estate market. Specifically, they know that this fundamental shift towards a work-from-home model has a consequential effect on home buyer’s needs. Home offices are now a top priority, as is additional space for family members to spread out while working simultaneously.

Other new focuses include an emphasis on energy efficiency as appliances are being used more frequently, more room for food storage, a desire for outdoor and garden space, and even the need for additional rooms for elderly family members, who might have otherwise gone to assisted living but are instead being cared for at home. With this widespread shift in priorities, you need an agent who has their pulse on the market and is able to assist you in finding the best home for your specific needs.

Need To Find The Perfect Home And/Or Office Space?

Just Call Jaimy!

The Beltran team is there for you 100%.

They utilize every available technology, exhaust every possible avenue, and consistently work outside the box to provide you with the most comprehensive list of options available. They even have access to buy and sell homes that are off market (or what they call “pocket listings”). These are homes that are not yet listed on the market but may still be available. If you haven’t had success in finding the right home, reach out to Jaimy and ask about this option. He may be able to find something for you that no other agent knows about!

Home Office Organizational Tips As the majority of us are required to stay home, that means space has become a highly-valued commodity, and organization is key to effectively managing that space. There’s nothing

worse than trying to focus in the midst of chaos, especially in your own home where there’s no escape to be found. In recognition of that, Sherine recommends consulting a professional organization company, such as Proust Dynamic Organizing, for tips on how to improve the efficiency and functionality of those spaces, as well as information on how to prepare for unexpected situations.

Proust Dynamic Organizing recognizes the different phases we all go through in our lives and they are experts at helping people navigate those phases with aplomb.

They offer assistance for things like Crisis Event Reorganization, Life Transitions/ Downsizing, and Remodel Preparation. You can visit www.proustdynamicorganizing. com to learn about their various specialties and services.

We all have certain areas of our lives where we could really use some assistance in getting organized, and this was probably brought home for many of us with the recent evacuations due to fires in the surrounding areas. Did

you have an evacuation plan set up if needed? Do you have a fire box with all of your most important documents safely sealed away? Sherine wants to help make sure we are all organized and prepared for these kinds of unexpected situations. It’s going above and beyond, but that’s nothing new for the Beltrans!

Let’s face it, we are living in stressful times when crises and emergencies are coming at us frequently and in many different ways. If you have the added stress of buying or selling a home right now, let the experts at Beltran Properties help make the process as easy as possible.

And be sure to contact Proust Dynamic Organizing to get assistance in preparing for any other circumstances that could still arise in 2020!
