THE PLACES I MISS
H
aving been born and raised in Lafayette, I often drive around the city and nostalgically yearn for places of the past. Perhaps it’s because they were some of my family’s favorite spots, or because we frequented these businesses, or because they held some allure that made them appear special. I often drive by a location where a new business now resides and my mind sees instead the place of my childhood. My family primarily shopped in the Oil Center for our clothing. We bought our nicest clothes at Abdalla’s and our casual clothes at The Fair. When we were small children, our Easter outfits came from Landry’s on Johnston Street. My sister Rebecca and I often had complementary ensembles. We have a grand picture from 1968 of my brother in a blue sports coat and my sister and me wearing matching yellow and white dresses. Since she is five years younger than I, mine had a more mature waistline (!). We stood at attention at our front door while my mother in her Easter hat took the snapshot. My brother is squinting at the camera, agitated with his little sisters, but Rebecca and I are thrilled with our black patent Mary-Janes. They perfectly accented our dresses adorned with white eyelet. No doubt they were purchased at Greenwood Shoes.

ACADIANA LIFE
I remember The Hanger, a teenage girl’s dream, and Max’s, a place my brother shopped once we were in high school. Both spots were coming of age shops, and how the personnel dealt with their pubescent patrons is hard to imagine. BB jeans were a staple at The Hanger while Max’s offered leather platform shoes. My family rarely ate out, as my mother cooked almost every night, but we did enjoy a good barbecue joint. Our favorites were Grayson’s in a metal building on Johnston Street and Stop-n-Shop BBQ a bit further down the road. Both had excellent sandwiches and plate lunches, and I remember standing in line with my father on Saturdays. I once heard that buns at Grayson’s were subject to the 5-second rule. But what I know firsthand is the food was world class. A major treat was a snow cone from D&S in the parking lot of South College Shopping Center. Each one in my family had a particular order, with my favorite being strawberry. Many days the line for those The best snow cones were from D&S delicious snow in the parking lot of South College cones wrapped Shopping Center. through the parking lot like a serpentine beast. Nothing fought the heat like one of those shaved ice delicacies. I miss Hoppers and A&W Root Beer, and I long for the Beef and Ale. We ate Burger Chef Hamburgers with reckless abandon, and as I got older,
my friends frequented Baskin Robbins in the Oil Center. Almost every Homecoming and Miss Merry Christmas date took me to Jacob’s or Toby’s at Four Corners or The Blair House on Surrey Street. The meals were extraordinary, and I wish someone Jacob’s, Toby’s and The Blair House were “the” had catalogued the high special places to dine out. school dates at those special places. I am still sometimes surprised at the expanse of cement where the Center Cinema once stood. Just how many movies I saw there, I’ll never know, but it is definitely where I stood in line with hundreds of others to view the premiere of Jaws. The very next day my family went to Florida on vacation and I barely got my feet wet. I’ve truly not felt the same about playing in the surf since. I remember the Twin Drive-In, too, with a mystical quality, partially hidden from view, but everyone knew the Twin was there, perched just off of Johnston near Doucet Road. I can still picture the big screen through a grove of trees. It beckoned from what seemed like an enchanted forest. I realize businesses come and go. Trends and tastes and economies change. But it’s fun to think of Lafayette the way it used to be, to reminisce about special places of my youth, to attach a certain memory to a location in my past. I miss these places. They are like a favorite book on my shelf, and sometimes I just want to read the story again.

programs, music and theatre, chapel and performance space, library, and makerspaces. “We’re thrilled to have this long-awaited vision finally come to fruition for our younger students and feel that this Center will be such an asset for Acadiana,” shares Dr. Paul Baker, Headmaster at ESA. “When you provide children with an inspiring environment and the right tools, the possibilities for learning are limitless.” Robotics programming, 3-D printing, infrastructure engineering, and Cajun history preservation are just a few of the educational opportunities that will be provided. The Center will also allow for expansion of ESA’s art programs. The fine arts classroom will have room for a kiln, enabling students to work with clay and ceramics, and the music/drama rooms will provide more room for rehearsals of the school’s annual spring musical as well as opportunities for more instrumental music instruction. “Encouraging independence is the best gift we can give any child. For me, witnessing that moment when a young student encounters a
challenge and realizes they have what it takes to meet it head-on, that’s what it’s all about,” says Kathleen O’Shaughnessy, Head of ESA’s Lower School. Slated to host a grand opening celebration and officially open for students in late January, ESA’s Enrichment Center will provide a unique space where young minds can be enriched, helping to shape the future of Acadiana one child at a time.

Improving Life AND Quality of Life
ince the start of the new millennium, the increase in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States has continued to grow substantially.
From breast augmentation and rhinoplasty to better vision, tattoo removal and skincare to female pelvic medicine, women now have incredible options for what it is that they want and/or need for improving life and quality of life.
It’s no secret that the quest to maintain a youthful appearance is something that is very appealing to the masses; and why not? Certain procedures can not only boost one’s self-esteem, it can also help with quality of life—and that my friends may be the biggest question to ask yourself. What is most important to me, my life, my well being?
Luckily, Lafayette has some of the best doctors, nurses, surgeons and practitioners available to handle whatever your quality of life desires. Until next time my friends—live life well.

Receiving aesthetic treatments should not just be limited to a certain few, but should be available to any and all who want to look better and feel better about themselves.
Receiving these types of treatments does not mean that you have to settle for something that is not of the highest quality.

highly trained and experienced provider. You are entitled to have every confidence in your injector, knowing that he/she is up-to-date with all the latest procedures that are available. I’ve taken the opportunity to answer questions in my book, Turning Back the Hands of Time, that I am asked all the time.

NEW MACHINE PROMISES NEARLY COMPLETE
A
ccording to a 2015 survey of 2,000 Americans, more than one in four U.S. adults (27%) has at least one tattoo, and many of these inked-up individuals eventually experience tattoo regret, either because their personality has changed since they got the tattoo, because the ink was misspelled or poorly done, or because they committed the ultimate relationship faux pas and got the name of someone they are no longer with inked on their body. In other words, tattoo regret is a real thing, but even when you get a tattoo removed, it’s never completely erased from your body. Or, is it?
leading power, treatment depth and speed for the most efficient and complete tattoo removal results.” With a price tag of $275,000, enlighten™ hasn’t become the mainstream method of tattoo removal yet, but those who have had their tattoos removed with the innovative new machine say it’s less painful and does a better job of erasing the permanent ink.
According to one 33-year-old woman who went to Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank of New York’s Fifth Avenue Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center to have an 11-year-old tattoo of her ex-boyfriend’s name erased from her ankle, “[The older machine] was helping, but when [Dr. Frank] got the new machine, it took only two treatments to remove it completely. It didn’t hurt as much, and the healing process didn’t take as long.” As for why the dual-wavelength Enlighten™ machine is so much more effective at removing tattoos, particularly those done with deep colors, Cutera’s executive vice president of marketing, Jon Pearson, explains, “One laser wavelength is not effective on all ink colors – that’s why you need more than one.” The bottom line is, if you have a regrettable tattoo that you want removed for good, your best bet for the most effective tattoo removal may be the new enlighten™ laser, which promises faster results, fewer treatment sessions, and more complete removal of all ink colors on all skin types.
In the past, people who wanted to rid themselves of their tattoos had to undergo laser tattoo removal, which is extremely painful, can cause permanent scarring, and often leaves residual traces of ink under the skin, especially when removing tattoos with deep blue-and green-colored ink. Take Angelina Jolie, for example, who had her “Billy Bob” tattoo erased from her upper arm following their 2003 divorce. Angelina has since gotten a new tattoo in that location—the coordinates of her children’s birthplaces—but if you look closely, you can still make out the “Billy Bob” and dragon tattoo that used to adorn her arm. But what other options are there for tattoo removal. Enter Cutera’s enlighten™ tattoo removal machine, “the world’s first—and only—dual wavelength and dual pulse duration laser system” for removing tattoos of all colors.

What to Consider Before, During and After Plastic Surgery Surgery is intimidating, whether it’s for mental well-being or a body’s well-being, surgeons hold their patients’ future in their hands. The decision to undergo a medical procedure should never be taken lightly or made hastily; cosmetic procedures are “real” surgeries with real consequences. There are major points to consider before and after surgery.
Communication The decision on whether or not to have surgery has probably been weighing on you for months or even years, but that weight should not overshadow your choice of surgeon. “You want someone who can deal with problems that may arise, but also someone who makes you feel comfortable enough to ask tough questions,” says Bennett Boustany Fontenot, M.D., of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery of Acadiana. Dr. Fontenot and his partner, Joseph P. Lupo, M.D., have been trained by worldrenowned plastic surgeons and also trained in General Surgery because
they know techniques and safety matter. However, for many patients, there is a larger trust component to qualifications. Sonya McNack says she knew that Dr. Lupo was qualified after their first meeting. She had a tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty procedure and was full of questions. “I had never had any plastic surgery done prior to this,” Sonya explains. “Dr. Lupo actually recommended against Liposuction. That was big for me because you go to see a plastic surgeon and you think they’re going to want to do everything.” Sonya says that conversation really established trust. She was impressed that he wanted what was best for her from the start of their relationship.
Risks & Aftercare
Technique and Surgery
There is no such thing as a risk-free procedure, if the surgeon you are speaking with says otherwise, that’s a huge red flag.
“You want a surgeon who is familiar with the latest techniques for the procedure you have in mind. Someone who has done it many, many times,” says Dr. Lupo.
“They should walk you through everything, the positive and the negative and patients should ask for specifics when it comes to risk and follow-up care,” explains Dr. Fontenot. Sonya says Dr. Lupo’s follow-up plans after her surgery is what drew her to him most, “I was going to choose another doctor that my friend recommended but I didn’t go with the other doctor because he only sees you once or twice. Dr. Lupo has scheduled several follow-up visits with me. So he’s going to see me for months after my procedure.”
Dr. Fontenot and Dr. Lupo keep up on all of the state-of-the-art technology in their plastic and reconstructive surgery practice. They say it’s important to understand the intricacies when you are dealing with a patient’s future. Patients should be operated on in a hospital or surgical facility, not at a spa or a regular, unaccredited office. Accreditation means that the facility must meet strict safety standards. If your surgery is not in a hospital you may need to be admitted to a hospital if something goes wrong.
Surgery is a medical procedure, all standards and precautions should be taken into consideration. Dr. Lupo says access to the best care is non-negotiable, even for an outpatient procedure. The actual surgery is only one element of care, a good surgical team will not shy away from bringing the patient into the process. A good relationship and communication is key to a patient’s recovery. It’s important to feel comfortable enough with your surgeon to get answers to these questions and any you feel will help shape a healthier future after cosmetic surgery.
Take a test drive preview of the new you. WITH VECTRA 3D IMAGING. What if there was a way to see into the future? A way to look in the mirror and get a glimpse of what the results of cosmetic surgery could provide? Well, with VECTRA 3D Imaging, exclusively at Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery of Acadiana, you are able to do just that. Ensure that you and your surgeon are always on the same page, while also making sure what you envision for yourself, becomes a reality.

SAYING
LASER BRINGS NEW VISION
“With this new technology, it makes a great cataract procedure even greater. I am so excited about this new era in cataract surgery.”

SURGERIES IN ACADIANA Content courtesy of Lafayette General Health
FOR PATIENTS NEEDING EYE SURGERY, the CATALYS® Precision Laser System is proving to be a major success at Oil Center Surgical Plaza (OCSP). Since its introduction to Acadiana in mid 2016, the laser system quickly became a valued and reliable asset racking up more than 100 cases in its first 60 days of use. The CATALYS laser is used mostly for cataract surgeries, but is used for other eye procedures as well. Cataracts often develop in older adults as the lens of the eye hardens and becomes cloudy or less translucent. This can cause light to appear glary, vision to be blurred and colors to seem muted.
Removing the cataract using traditional methods required high-energy ultrasound to break up the cataract into pieces for removal. With CATALYS, the laser cuts a grid-like pattern across the cataract to soften it. That allows the lens to be removed gently and in clean-cut sections. This helps leave a betterprepared setting for the replacement lens to be inserted. The end result is that the CATALYS laser reduces redness and discomfort after surgery, and allows for faster visual recovery.
Preparing for cataract surgery requires multiple incisions on the covering of the eyeball, and inside the eye around the lens. Traditionally, these cuts were made by hand, with hand-held tools. The CATALYS is beneficial because its laser can make these incisions with more accuracy and precision than by hand.
Physicians with privileges to use the CATALYS® laser at OCSP are Ophthalmologists Jonathan Joseph, Kirk LeBlanc, Ricardo Leoni II and Kevin Swan. The physicians say they are experiencing wonderful outcomes in vision restoration, especially amongst those candidates in need of multifocal and vision-correcting lenses.
The CATALYS is equipped with a guidance system that maps the eye structure in three dimensions and establishes safe-zone parameters. Since every eyeball is uniquely shaped and configured, being able to plan and customize incisions make for a more predictable result and outcome.
Oil Center Surgical Plaza (OCSP), located in the Medical Office Building at 1000 W. Pinhook Road, is a specialty surgical hospital that serves patients needing outpatient surgical procedures ranging from ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose & throat), plastic surgery or pain management.

URINARY INCONTINENCE Don’t Suffer in Silence By Chris Fontenot, MD, FACS
D
r. Fontenot is Board Certified in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive surgery. Urinary incontinence, defined as unwanted leakage of urine, affects about 34 million people in the United States. It has many causes, and can affect men or women and can occur at any age.
Dr. Chris Fontenot is a member of the Society of Urodynamics and Female Urology and the International Incontinence Society. He is also a member of the American Urological Association, the LA State Urological Society, where he has served as Secretary and Historian, the Louisiana State Medical Society and the US Autism and Asperger Association.
Many women are afraid to seek treatment for incontinence, as it can be an embarrassing subject to discuss. Also there are many myths about diagnosis and treatment. For example, large incisions and long-term bladder catheters are rarely employed anymore. In fact, many patients are now treated with simple changes in daily routines, physical therapy or medication. There are many types of incontinence, determination of the type of incontinence is critical to treatment success. Usually, the type of incontinence is clear simply by history, but often different types many seem to co-exist. We will perform a physical examination which will offer clues as to the proper diagnosis and the treatment that will provide the greatest chance of success. Additional testing may include measurements of bladder urine, voiding diaries and sophisticated physiologic bladder testing. The fact is unwanted leakage of urine does not have to be a reality in anyone’s life. There is a vast experience and expertise, along with state–ofthe-art treatments available right here in Acadiana. So if you are experiencing urinary incontinence, make an appointment to at least obtain a correct diagnosis and discuss your options. You may find that obtaining dryness is a lot easier than you expected!

HEALTHY LIVING
LOW-CARB DIETING — ADDED BENEFITS? IF YOU’RE ON A LOW CARBOHYDRATE KICK in order to shed a few pounds, here’s an added bonus. IT MIGHT ALSO HELP YOU STAY AWAKE AT WORK. According to Reuters Health, cutting carbohydrates from your diet may help fend off daytime sleepiness. Researchers at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina studied the effects of a low-carb diet on a small group of patients with narcolepsy, a disorder that often causes people to fall asleep involuntarily during the day. They had participants follow a nationally known low-card diet for eight weeks, limiting their carbintake to less than 20 grams a day. The researchers found that the patients who stuck with the diet had an 18% decrease in their narcoleptic symptoms, including their daytime sleep attacks. Also, they lost an average of 15 pounds and had no serious side effects. But don’t go swearing off the pasta just yet, despite the encouraging findings, more studies will have to be done to figure out if the decline in sleepiness was actually due to the low-carb diet or some other factor(s). On the flip side, if you want to take a nap in the afternoon, eat a big rice and gravy plate lunch and we’ll bet you’ll be falling 22 FACE | JANUARY 2017

THE NEW YEAR’S JOURNEY BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND.
A
s the door closes on yet another year you are always compelled to make the next one better. You’ll resolve to exercise more, eat better, begin a meditation
practice, or enjoy more time with family. Yet these resolutions fall flat after just a few weeks, only for you to resort to your habits and nothing actually changes. If you really resolve to transform your life, there is a little more to the process than just exclaiming a resolution. In fact, rather than a resolution, consider this time the beginning of a journey. With any journey, you must understand exactly where you want to go. As the late Stephen Covey says, “begin with the end in mind.” The journey starts with your imagination— imagining what your life will look like at completion. Spend some time reflecting on your achievement. Grab a pen and paper and have the courage to be completely honest when
how your journey will take place, now is the time to write down the steps to get there. * What do you have to do monthly to accomplish your vision? Weekly? Daily? * Who do you call upon to keep you accountable?
writing down the answer to these questions:
* How do you “get back in the saddle” if you fall off?
* How do you feel when your journey is complete? What
* What will it cost you if you don’t follow through with the
emotions do you feel? * Who supported you through the process? * What did you have to change in your life to accomplish the journey? * Did you have to sacrifice anything? * Why was completing this journey so important to you? Envisioning yourself at the end—understanding the emotions, the sacrifice, and most importantly the real reason why you wanted to get started is the first phase to creating change.
The next part is a little easier. Since you’ve already visualized
journey you’ve envisioned? These questions help to set you up for you to be successful in the year to come. Each time you drift away, come back to your answers as a reminder of who you want to be when this year is all said and done. Remember there’s no right or wrong way to accomplish your goal. The only way you can fail is if you give up. Daphne Olivier is a food passionista, farm girl wanna-be and registered yet unconventional dietitian with a private practice – My Food Coach.

not mean you cannot live in a beautiful environment that brings you peace of mind. Others can be overwhelmed with an ongoing relationship with space. I’m one of the latter. For people like me, changing our homes is an ongoing adventure until we hit the ‘ahhh’ moment, or at least until we want to try a new color, that’s when we buy a new pillow. Here are a few simple actions you can take to begin letting your home help you reinvent yourself:
•
PAINT IT WHITE. Create a fresh canvas before deciding on the new you and a new wall color. You can choose a lovely shade leaning towards grey or containing a tint of umber for something warm that doesn’t interfere with existing colors in the room.

HOME
EASY & CHEAP HOME IMPROVEMENT
IDEAS
By Johnnie Fixermann
Having a fresh new interior in an older home is something
most people desire. However, with today’s economy, many homeowners simply can’t afford to remodel—so
PAINT OLD KITCHEN CABINETS INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM. This is an easy project, but do some homework before you get started. Depending on the current finish of your cabinets, you’ll need to know if you should strip, sand or just de-gloss before beginning the project. Any good paint supplier will be happy to help you determine what’s best for your situation. Just remember, they’re salesmen as well as paint specialists so ask questions and don’t feel obligated to buy their most expensive brand/type of paint.
I’ve put together a list of quick and inexpensive home
CEILING FAN
PLANTS
improvements to rid that outdated look and feel on a limited budget.
AREA RUG
INSTALL A NEW CEILING FAN in your living room, kitchen or den. There are many great looking fans available for around $100 dollars. The installation is fairly easy if you follow the directions. Not mechanically inclined? Hire a handyman or ask your neighbor or brother-in-law to lend a hand. It may cost you another $100 or a good meal for the help with installation, but that’s nothing compared to how good you’ll feel after the project is done. 26 FACE | JANUARY 2017
LIVING ROOM LOOKING A LITTLE BLAND? IF YOU HAVE WOOD OR TILE FLOORS, ADD AN AREA RUG. A great rug adds more to a space than just color, pattern, or texture. Visually, it helps to ground furniture and define a space; functionally, it protects floors, absorbs noise, and provides plush padding underfoot. It’s quick, easy and very affordable.
ADD SOME FOLIAGE TO YOU LIVING AREA. Don’t let anyone fool you; growing indoor plants is easy if you buy the right ones for your situation. Indoor plants not only act as a quick decorating tool, they help clean the environment around them by helping to remove toxins from the air. We recommend hardy plants such as the Aloe Plant, Spider Plant, English Ivy, Rubber Tree, Snake Plant, Bamboo Palm and my personal favorite, the Peace Lily. Just remember, if you’ve got kids or pets, do a little research before making that purchase as some indoor plants can be toxic.

forerunner of the WAHM Revolution meet
in Lafayette
HANNAH SMITH MASON By Marisa Olson Photography by Moore Photography
© FACE MAGAZINE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Mothers have been seeking a paradigm shift away from false, either/or choices, and a third option may be opening on the horizon: the Work-at-Home-Mom, the WAHM. 34 FACE | JANUARY 2017
A PREAMBLE IN PRAISE OF WORKING MOTHERS She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard . . . She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night . . . She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy . . . She makes garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes . . . She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness . . . – Proverbs 31
The working mother is not a modern invention. As the Book of Proverbs so beautifully illustrates, women since times biblical have been active in commercial ventures and charitable causes in addition to their primary roles as mothers and household administrators. The ideal of the “virtuous woman” as a creative with a flair for business remains as relevant and valued today as three millennia ago. Today, most women work two jobs: one at home, the other, outside of it, and struggle heroically to balance the two. Other women are compelled to make the difficult choice between a domestic life raising children and the job that will help support them. Mothers have been seeking a paradigm shift away from false, either/or choices, and a third option may be opening on the horizon: the Work-at-Home-Mom, the WAHM. Does the WAHM suggest a modern makeover of Proverb’s “virtuous woman”? One local mom may help you decide the answer to that question.
THE FORERUNNER OF THE WAHM REVOLUTION IN LAFAYETTE: MEET HANNAH Hannah Smith Mason has not solved her generation’s struggle in the perennial tug-of-war between the demands of motherhood versus career. She strives to be present both physically and emotionally for her three young children: Max, who is seven, Charlie, four, and Margaret, two. Her house is not a sterile oasis of tranquility, or perfectly appointed like a designer showroom, but vibrantly bustles and energetically overflows with the movement and sounds of children, a rescue Labradoodle in tow, and a newly adopted litter of kittens frolicking in the back yard, a scene easily enjoyed through the large living room windows. During my interview with Hannah, Margaret, a darling dervish in pigtails, runs barefoot through the house, weaving in and out of view, pausing occasionally to acquaint me with her favorite stuffed animals and the figurine of Joseph from the manger scene on the coffee table. At the center is Hannah, the heartbeat of her home. She curls up into the corner of her large sofa, leaning back on its oversized cushions, smiling radiantly: a woman unapologetically and joyfully devoted to family. Her creative

eye for interior decorating is apparent. Her home is warm and welcoming, bedecked with familial mementos and artifacts that belie the Mason family’s love of tradition and heritage. (When Hannah leaves the house, she often wears an item of her grandmother’s to honor her memory and serve as reminder that she and God always keep watch over her.)
BUT WILL THIS THIRD OPTION FOR MOTHERHOOD WORK FOR ME? During the day, Max attends the neighborhood school, Woodvale Elementary, while Charlie and little Margaret keep mom company on the days that they aren’t attending their Mothers Day Out program. When Max comes home, Hannah is always there, eagerly waiting, just as she is home to greet her husband [Marcus] from work at the end of the day. Home and family are the focal point of her life, around which she organizes her business responsibilities, volunteer projects, and creative endeavors such as her oil painting. From her home office, she attends to the marketing and social media needs of Smith Mason & Company, which she co-owns with Marcus. Presently, she also is developing the concept for a local mom’s club called Momtribe. Hannah’s chosen style of motherhood may not work for every mother, but she has found an answer that serves her children, her husband, and herself. Her success is sure to inspire other local moms who long have dreamed of working from home.
AN ARDENT ADVOCATE FOR LAFAYETTE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Hannah, however, is not content to bask in her blessings, but is equally impassioned about improving the conditions and quality of life for other mothers and children in Lafayette, especially in regards to education, and serves as 1st Vice President of Woodvale Elementary’s Parent Teacher Club. Hannah helped developed the PTC website and initiated its private Facebook groups for each grade level. From her home office, she remotely maintains daily contact with other Woodvale parents, encouraging involvement and answering questions on the club’s behalf. Hannah also cultivates sponsorship for Woodvale’s largest fundraiser,

Hannah, who majored in French at Rhodes College in Memphis, and played on the soccer team, is herself a proud product of the Lafayette Parish public school system, having attended Green T. Lindon, L. J. Alleman, Paul Breaux, and Lafayette High where she graduated. Today, as a parent, she makes an ardent advocate for the school system that has helped shape the leader she has become. In 2008, she married Marcus Mason, her lifelong childhood friend-turned-sweetheart from Natchez, and followed him wherever his oilfield jobs took him. The couple lived in Houston, Shreveport, Denver and Pittsburgh, but when deciding where to settle down and raise their family, the Masons chose Lafayette over Houston and New Orleans because of Lafayette’s great public schools.
long have dreamed of working from home.
YOU’RE STILL THE ONE Rather than write, I will simply quote Hannah’s best friend, her husband Marcus. Into their eighth year of marriage, he still marvels: Hannah has changed me into a better person and opened my horizons. I never knew how closed, how risk-averse I was, until I really knew her. She has a total lack of fear. She wants to be the best at whatever she does, and similarly challenges me to do more, be more, and reassures me that, even if I make a mistake, it won’t be the end of the world. She doesn’t go along with everything I say. I can always rely on a truthful answer and trust in her judgment. Hannah is integral to my decision-making regarding the day-to-day operations of our family business. Her instincts and advice are dead on. Like any other couple, we have our differences and disagreements, but we make a great team. If it weren’t for her, I’d still be selling beer in Natchez. Marcus’ wedding band is inscribed with their favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13: ALLTHINGSTHRUHIM. The verse sums up how their relationship came to be, and their life together now with three children.
COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE A husband’s high praise of his wife’s capabilities may seem vulnerable to bias; however, Hannah raises a chorus of admiring

Once having met her, entire organizations seem to find her indispensable, and seek to recruit Hannah to key leadership roles, whether Woodvale Elementary PTC, the Junior League of Lafayette, where she is now Secretary, or the Acadiana Symphony, where in six short months, she has become member of the board of directors, the executive committee, the Women’s League (ASWL), and chair of Generation ASO.

Once having met her, entire organizations seem to find her indispensable, and seek to recruit Hannah to key leadership roles, whether Woodvale Elementary PTC, the Junior League of Lafayette, where she is now Secretary, or the Acadiana Symphony, where in six short months, she has become member of the board of directors, the executive committee, the Women’s League (ASWL), and chair of Generation ASO. Brandon Hyde, VP at Whitney Bank and president of the board of directors for the Acadiana Symphony Association, explained: “Hannah is admirable and inspiring. She is incredibly bright, a strategic thinker. She brings energy, creative ideas, and fresh perspective to the Symphony, and I see her making lasting, indelible improvements to our organization.” Debbie Foreman, realtor with Keaty Real Estate, as well as longstanding member and former president of the Junior League of Lafayette, warmly added: “Hannah is true. Intelligent, kind and vivacious, deeply committed to family, and a woman of faith. Despite her gifts, I have never met a more modest and humble woman.” LASOAR: Reconnecting Housebound Youth to the Outdoors While a teenager in school, Hannah was heavily involved in team sports, especially varsity basketball and soccer. She retains a strong belief in the importance of outside playtime and physical activity for boys and girls of all ages to help them develop social bonds, cultivate collaborative skills, and, just as importantly, instill a lifelong enthusiasm for health and fitness. Troubled by the lack of convenient sports for small children in her neighborhood, and by the sedentary and confined lifestyles forced upon most of today’s youth, Hannah conceived of LASOAR, the Louisiana Association of Sports, Outdoor Adventure, and Recreation. The nonprofit’s mission seeks to help children “reconnect to the natural world and promote the power of play to improve child and family health and well-being.” With Laura Palmer at the helm, Hannah helped co-found the organization, which provides a gamut of activities, including youth sports, outdoor adventure trips, hiking and
faceacadiana.com | FACE 41
42 FACE | JANUARY 2017
paddling clubs, and recreational classes. LASOAR also offers community gardening projects to educate children about soil, native plants, and how to grow their own food to promote healthy eating and environmental consciousness. But kids don’t know they’re getting an education; they just know they’re having fun hiking through the woods, exploring Louisiana waterways, and playing in the dirt.
“GOD TORCHED MY SOUL”: THE SURPRISING REASON FUELING HANNAH’S DESIRE TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST In many ways, Hannah lived an idyllic childhood. She was blessed with loving home and a doting grandmother she loved dearly. But unexpected tragedy shattered her youthful perception of the world as a safe and happy place. During her junior year in high school, Hannah played on the select soccer team, and naturally formed close friendships with her teammates, especially her practice partner. One school night, Hannah got a call informing her that her
friend and teammate [Nicole Acosta] had taken her life. That early loss shook Hannah to her core. In an instant, she was changed, acquiring the painful awareness of the impermanence of life, as well as the precious value of every moment. To honor her lost friend, Hannah dedicated herself to standing up and speaking for those who have lost their voice, and to reaching out to anyone in need of a friend. Years later in 2012, now married, Hannah found herself living in Denver when the Aurora Theatre massacre happened. Then, in 2015, only one year after returning to Lafayette with her young family, Hannah, like many others, was stunned and grief stricken by the mass shooting at Grand 16 Theatre. Hannah closely identified with one of the young victims, Jillian Johnson, a promising and beloved artist who shared her gifts. “God torched my soul to use my gifts, too,” Hannah says. And so she has, forging her own path as a mother, wife, and dedicated member of the Lafayette community. Hannah’s example serves us all, even if we cannot put into practice her personal vision of motherhood. But we can all take inspiration.

STRATEGY Shrink the Change — Notice the Change Sometimes the picture of change we create in our minds is so large and overwhelming that the process is never started because we feel so overwhelmed.
By Don Short
It does not have to be “all or nothing.”
46 FACE | JANUARY 2017
E
ach year millions of Americans develop their list of New Year’s resolutions—live a healthier lifestyle, travel, get a better job—the list is endless. In this article I want to identify two common issues around change, and why making a lifestyle change can be so difficult for some, while for others, it seems to happen almost automatically. First, let’s look at the idea of shrinking the change you want to make in your life or helping a loved one in addressing change in their life. Sometimes the picture of change we create in our minds is so large and overwhelming that the process is never started because we feel so overwhelmed.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES: • While trying to encourage a friend (who is an extreme introvert) to get out more and do things that would allow him to meet new people…His response, “You want me to be the center of attention?” • A wife when confronted about the amount of time she spends on social media responds, “You don’t want me to have any friends!” • The husband who was confronted about the amount of time he spends at the hunting camp responds, “You don’t want me to ever spend time with my friends!” Do you see a pattern?
The problem with these responses is that each person sees the change as an “all or nothing” proposition. Sadly, with that perspective, their life and/or relationship will continue to suffer and deteriorate over time. We need to shrink the change. It does not have to be “all or nothing.” The best answer lies somewhere in the middle. With good communications a couple can find reasonable answers to these relationship issues.
THE SECOND ISSUE is that we sometimes make subtle but significant changes in our behavior that are often harmful to our relationships. Let me give you an example. Last year I was talking to my wife about getting her some roses for our anniversary. She said that it had been a long time since I had done that. I disagreed, but she said that she remembers the last time and that it was on our 28th wedding anniversary. Thinking for a moment, I remembered what took place
on that day. I had always bought her a dozen roses for our anniversary. That year I thought I would do something more special so I bought her 28 roses, one for each year of our marriage. Hoping she would be elated with the surprise, I placed them on the dining room table and asked her to come into the room. Immediately she says, “You didn’t need to do that—and you bought them at the most expensive place in Lafayette.” My heart dropped, as this was not the response I was hoping for and I stopped buying her roses after that. My behavior had changed and I hadn’t realized it. Now, as I review my life, I try to correct the unintentionally hurtful changes that I have developed that adversely affect those I care about most. I challenge you to review your life and see where you’ve changed in a negative way as a reaction to a behavior from others. Notice it and correct it and you’ll bring healing and health back into your relationships.
REMEMBER THIS: 1) Change is possible and easier if we break it down into smaller pieces. It does not have to be “all or nothing.” 2) Notice the negative changes you’ve developed over time and how it is affecting relationships. 3) Take responsibility and correct these behaviors. Do this and 2017 will be the best year for all of your relationships! Be the change you want to see in others. I wish you and your family a very happy and successful New Year.

ohrwurms There’s a Song Stuck In My Head
MAKE IT STOP! By Margaret Higgins Sanger
H
ave you ever listened to a song on the radio while driving to work only to find yourself still humming or singing the same tune over and over again like a broken record (For you millennials—a record is what old people used to listen to music on before CD’s, Cassette tapes or Eight Tracks were invented)? Well, congratulations, you’ve had an ohrwurm . The Germans call it “ohrwurms” but in America they’re commonly referred to as earworms and experts say it happens to 90% of us at least once a week. Dr. James Kellaris at the University of Cincinnati calls it "stuck tune syndrome." He says it creates a "cognitive itch" that can only be scratched by replaying the tune in your mind. The more your brain scratches, the worse the itch gets. So why do we get earworms? Researchers in the UK collected data from over 3000 people and analyzed their responses, identifying four main triggers for earworms: The most common one is music exposure, either 48 FACE | JANUARY 2017
recently hearing a song, or repeatedly hearing the same song. A second reason is memory triggers, meaning that seeing a particular person, hearing a specific beat, or being in a certain situation reminds you of a song. The third earworm trigger is your emotional frame of mind; feeling stressed, surprised, or happy when you hear a certain song. And finally, "low attention states of mind", because when your mind is wandering and not really focused on any one thing, a song can get stuck in your head. So how can you get rid of a song that's stuck in your head? Try listening to the entire song from beginning to end. Experts say that sometimes a song will keep repeating itself because your brain is trying to reconstruct the whole thing, and once you've heard it from start to finish, your brain moves on to another task. NOTE: If you’re also hearing voices in your head—you’ve got an entirely different issue.

MILLENNIAL PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS ON THE RISE
The millennial generation might become synonymous with selfies, social media, and prenups. According to a recent survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), 51% of the attorneys cited an increase in the number of millennials requesting prenuptial agreements. In addition, 62% of the respondents have seen an increase in the total number of clients who are seeking prenups during the past three years. The top three items most commonly covered by the marriage contracts were cited as “protection of separate property”, “alimony/spousal maintenance” and “division of property.” “Couples are getting married at later ages these days and are consequently entering their relationships with more to protect in the event of a divorce. A prenuptial agreement often represents the most effective way to address these concerns and safeguard individual assets before exchanging vows,” said Joslin Davis, president of the American Academy

of Matrimonial Lawyers. “Members of the millennial generation are particularly choosing prenups as the best option to cover separate property holdings, business interests, anticipated family inheritances and potential alimony claims.” Overall, 62% of AAML members have seen an increase in the total number of clients seeking a prenuptial agreement throughout the past three years. In addition to the top three items selected as the categories most often covered by prenups, the next three most common areas selected were “protection of the increase of value in separate property”, “inheritance rights”, and “community property division.” Sounds like the millennials have figured out what every school kid in America thinks about their stuff—what’s mine is mine and you can’t have it. Enjoy the honeymoon! Source: American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers

Are SELF-SABOTAGING HABITS Holding You Back?
1
WE SETTLE BECAUSE WE THINK IT’S THE BEST WE CAN GET. Many people unknowingly play it safe because they fear rejection. Whether it’s an unchallenging job that also fails to ignite our passion or an unfulfilling relationship, settling becomes a subconscious strategy to lower expectations and reduce pain. People crave new experiences and want passion in their lives, but their fear of the unknown is often greater than their desire to reach happiness.
T
he New Year comes with new opportunities and a fresh batch of motivation to follow through on our promises. Inevitably, life happens, and sticking to those resolutions gets harder. If you want to truly transform your life, examine your self-sabotaging behaviors and work to heal them. That’s the only true way to lasting growth and happiness. In the spirit of starting fresh (and doing it right this time), here are some of the most common ways we sabotage our own happiness.
2 3
WE IGNORE INSPIRATION. We all have moments of inspiration. Whether it’s a nudge to go somewhere at a certain time or speak a truth that’s on our minds, acting on those intuitions is part of finding happiness. Most people don’t act on those feelings because of the anxiety that bubbles up about where those inspirations might lead you. If you feel stuck in life, chances are you’re missing these moments of inspiration.
4 5
WE LISTEN TO OUR HEADS INSTEAD OF OUR HEARTS. One of the most common happiness-hindering habits is over thinking ourselves into paralysis. This shows up in the form of overanalyzing, being extremely critical, or just generally mistrusting our own feelings. When we rely on thoughts and ignore our feelings, we can get trapped in a web of uncertainty. Thoughts are usually fear-based and lead us to act (or not act) out of fear rather than out of self-awareness and acceptance.
WE LET FEAR RULE US. Fear is the cause of most dissatisfaction in life. Fear of pain drives many people to depression, addiction, staying in situations that suck the life out of them, and other self-sabotaging and abusive patterns. Familiarity is our safety net. Branching out into the unknown is extremely unnerving, but transformation requires us to accept uncertainty and embrace the unknown. Fulfillment and security are on the other side of the challenge.
WE WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. Many of us seek reassurance from others and let their opinions keep us from making the choices we need to make to be happy. If you want to leave the job you hate or try something new, you may worry about those closest to you judging you or disapproving of your actions. This can only make it harder for you to reach your goal. Support yourself. You want to surround yourself with people who believe in you. But you have to believe in yourself first. If you’re worried about what others will think, read that as a cue to turn your attention inward and develop confidence within yourself. If you want others to believe in you and support you, first support yourself.

S TIP RE ICU AN Y. M D.I.
GETTING THEIR NAILS DONE IS A WEEKLY ROUTINE FOR SOME WOMEN AND A RARE TREAT FOR OTHERS. But as the recession continues to bite this area, more and more women are turning to home manicure kits and DIY nail art in an effort to cut bills without compromising their beauty regime. Doing your own nails might sound daunting but by following a few simple steps, it’s possible to get professional results at a fraction of the cost. One of the most popular nail treatments is a manicure. Manicures are a great way to take care of your nails, and they can be as simple or elaborate as you want. To treat your nails to a simple manicure at homee, start by taking off all traces nail polish with a piece of cotton wool soaked in a gentle removal fluid. Then, immerse your hands in a sink full of warm water for around five minutes: this helps to clean your nails and make them more pliable. To give your hands a thorough clean, rub them with some abrasive body scrub to get rid of dead skin cells and promote smoothness. Wash and dab dry with a towel.
Prep Work Buff for an even surface.
Next, take a nail buffer and go over the top of your nails to create an even surface. If you have cuticle oil, rub this into your nails and use a stick to push your cuticles back – not all women like to do this step, but it does create a cleaner end-result. Then, take your nail file and begin filing your nails to create a natural rounded shape. Remember to only file in one direction and round off any sharp tips. When your nails are filed to your satisfaction, apply a layer of base coat to each nail. Base coat protects your nails so they are not discolored by your polish. For a natural finish, simply apply a pearl or light blush colored polish and let dry. Your manicure is complete at this stage – however, for a French manicure, you can paint your tips white. Or if you’re getting ready for a night out, forget the natural colors completely and opt for a classic red or a more contemporary shade like maroon.
Base Coat Yes, it matters.
For an extra shiny and long-lasting dimension, add a new layer of top coat every day and your nails will be glittering for weeks. START WITH A CLEAN CANVAS. SOAK AND SCRUB. CARE FOR YOUR CUTICLES. DON’T SKIP THE OH-SO-IMPORTANT BASE COAT. POLISH AWAY. SHINE ON. RELAX AND DON’T – TOUCH – ANYTHING!

SIMPLE makeup tips & ideas for HOODED EYES
HOODED EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL, characterized by extra skin that falls from the brow bone towards the eyelids and covers them. This feature give the face an alluring sexy look, which a lot of beautiful stars have, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift. If you have hooded eyes, you know how hard it is to apply makeup on your eyes, as the canvas is partially hidden. There’s no good space to paint eye shadow or draw lines, or even powder. Even though, with the right tools and good tips, you will know how to brighten those hooded eyes of yours, and paint them with the colors you like.

Before you jump into learning how to apply makeup for hooded eyes, make sure you have this trait. Look into the mirror and search for a crease above the eye. If there is a crease, look whether it is hidden when you have wide open eyes. If yes, then you do have hooded eyes. Here’s all you have to know about the makeup of hooded eyes.

JULIAN PRIMEAUX Native Son Returns From European Tour By Savannah Ludwig Photos courtesy of Maaike Erents
L
OCAL ROCKER Julian Primeaux & His Royal Rowdy Company are fresh off of their sixth European tour. Primeaux, lead singer and songwriter for the band, describes his sound as a bluesy mix of southern gospel and rock ‘n’ roll. Band members also include bassist Flint Zerangue, Jr. and drummer Blake Ortego. The rock trio, now a familiar name on the European circuit, spent a month electrifying audiences in some of that continent’s most exciting cities, including Amsterdam, Hamburg and Prague. Fans clamored for copies of Primeaux’s latest release, This Guilded, Swaying Heart, which features the top single hit, To Move In The Night. FACE Magazine interviewed Primeaux about the band’s latest tour.
F: What were some of your most memorable moments from the tour? JP: Our first show was in Amsterdam. It was a Friday night in one of the world’s most popular party cities. We were greeted by a very enthusiastic crowd that danced and swayed to our southern rhythms. There was a Syrian man who enjoyed it in particular, because it was the first time in his life he ever experienced live music. After that night, we went on to play venues in Germany, the Czech Republic, Switzerland and France. F: How do European fans and audiences differ from Americans? JP: After our sixth international tour, our fans look forward to our return and bring their friends to our shows. That’s why we go—the Europeans love live music. After a show, they usually thank us personally and say, “Thank you for the music!” F: What was your most exciting concert this tour? JP: Every show is a different experience, so it’s hard to compare, but perhaps the most exciting venue was the Hard Rock Cafe in Prague. At three stories, the club is huge, the largest Hard Rock in Europe, with interior balconies overlooking the stage. We performed underneath a gigantic [guitar-shaped] chandelier. The club also has an 800-year-old, medieval cellar, “The Underground,” that has a dungeon-like atmosphere.
F: What was your favorite concert on the tour? JP: Playing at the Lehmitz Reeperbahn in Hamburg, Germany, where the Beatles got their start. That scene is one big, wild, crazy party. When we arrived, we found out we had to perform the entire show STANDING on a huge, wrap-around bar while the audience looked up at us. Blake, our drummer, was the only one allowed to perform on the stage, which was tucked in the corner of the venue. It was a bizarre but awesome experience!
SEE THEM DURING MARDI GRAS: Julian Primeaux & His Royal Rowdy Company will take center stage at Bisbano’s in Lafayette on Friday, February, 24, 2017, on Mardi Gras weekend after the parade. TO PURCHASE THE CD This Guilded, Swaying Heart, please visit www.cdbaby.com/cd/swayingheart
F: How did you find life on the road? JP: Touring is a rollercoaster of experiences: beautiful scenery, exotic food, sleepless nights, long drives, laughter, stress, work, play. One night we might sleep on mattresses on the stage we’ve played at, and the next night sleep in a fancy hotel room that’s been arranged for us. The one consistency is that we always meet great people. We can’t wait to see what adventures are coming down the path!
