I know it’s not normal to revel in the choking heat and humidity of a Lafayette summer…but I do.

I love it. I love the clammy feeling of leaving my air-conditioned house to walk out into a sticky summer morning. I love sweating in the thick twilight air at an outdoor party. I love that the cement is still warm under my feet at midnight in July. I know all of this makes me sound more than slightly insane, but I can’t help it. I am absolutely head-over-heels about Lafayette in the summertime.

It’s as if our city comes alive during the summer. There are so many events, concerts, family gatherings, and backyard parties that allow me to spend the utmost quality time with my family and honestly, that’s what I’m most addicted to — spending time with my family. I hope you’re utilizing all that Lafayette has to offer during the summer months and are doing the same.

That being said, it’s appropriate for me to ask anyone who may be interested in sharing their Lafayette stories with the public to please step forward! Here at FACE, we feel that sharing all that is good in this world is just as important as sharing the news. We want to be an outlet for those who feel the same way. For the love of…Lafayette…people need to hear about family traditions, people being generous to others, and things that are unique to the Acadiana area!

If you suffer from chronic or recurrent sinus infection, you already know that antibiotics, decongestants, and steroids only offer temporary relief.

Searching for a more effective, long-lasting remedy, the doctors of Acadian Ear, Nose and Throat Center were among the first in Acadiana to offer the innovative and highly successful balloon sinuplasty dilation.

Now, the team at Acadian ENT is offering the latest minimally invasive technology to treat the ethmoid sinuses and more complex conditions with reduced patient down time and practically no pain. Best of all, the procedure can be done quickly, in the convenience of our offices, under local anesthesia ~ and the relief is immediate.

The specialists at Acadian ENT are experts in providing convenient, comfortable, effective relief for the entire family. To schedule an evaluation, call 337-237-0650 or visit www.acadianent.com for more information.

DIY Tips and Tricks for

A

A Healthy Home Spa Whether you use these DIY tips exclusively or between visits to your favorite Spa, here are simple recipes for whipping up your own beauty products at home.

“Skin care does not have to be costly to be effective,” says Janet Little, director of nutrition at Sprouts Farmers Market. “By preparing your own body care products, you can have beautiful-looking skin, slow down premature skin aging and save money.”

Summertime is the perfect time to relax and refresh with at-home spa treatments that are easy, natural, luxurious and, best of all, affordable.

As a matter of fact, you probably already have fresh and natural ingredients in your refrigerator and cupboards, or you can easily purchase them from a grocery store, says Little.

These simple ingredients can eliminate dry skin, reduce wrinkles, banish dark under-eye circles and relax sore muscles. The advantages of homemade skin care products include:

Significant Savings Most of the products that you’ll use are already in your home, and are less expensive than department store-bought skin care products or spa treatments.

Avoiding Harsh Chemicals Artificial ingredients found in typical drug store beauty products may contain cancer-causing compounds, which can penetrate the skin and potentially cause harmful effects.

Always Natural and Fresh Skin care products purchased in a store contain preservatives to avoid bacteria contamination and growth. On the other hand, when you prepare your skin care items yourself you get a fresh and natural batch every time.

OUTDOOR HOME SECURITY 4 STEPS TO A HOME-SAFE HOME

DID YOU KNOW A HOME BREAK-IN OCCURS EVERY 15 SECONDS? Considering summertime is peak season for home burglaries, there’s no better time than the present to take a few steps to protect your home and your family.

“Securing your home doesn’t necessarily require a costly alarm system,” says Brian Sweet, operations manger at D&D Technologies, an award-winning lock and safety company. “Taking a close look at your outdoor spaces and making simple safety updates will dramatically reduce the chances of your home becoming a criminal target.”

The Entrepreneurial Spirit of Acadiana

CLARE WYATT ALLEN A Lafayette native, Clare Allen previously worked for Bradley & Moreau while pursuing her undergraduate degree at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette after graduating from St. Thomas More. “My interest in studying law actually began while working as an employee of Bradley & Moreau,” says Allen. Allen received her law degree at Southern University and practiced with another local firm in the areas of family law, personal injury and estate planning before returning to Bradley & Moreau. At Bradley and Moreau, Clare gained insight into the complexities of real estate closings and she is fortunate to have had the opportunity to return to her roots.

Currently, Mrs. Allen specializes in the areas of Title examinations, Business formations, Successions, and Residential Real Estate Transactions. She is also a member of Junior League, volunteers for Counselor on Call with the Lafayette Bar Association (a program where attorneys sit and give pro-bono legal advice), member of the Realtor Association of Acadiana, Acadiana Mortgage Lenders Association, and Realtor Commercial Alliance.

SARAH SPELL “I’ve watched Sarah’s career unfold and recognized her versatility as a writer. She brings experience in public relations and marketing to our team, as well as a creative spark”, says Cheryl Taylor Bowie (owner/president of Right Angle) about Sarah Spell’s new position at Right Angle as the agency’s copywriter.

Before accepting her current position at Right Angle, Sarah served as the publications manager at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and as assistant editor of La Louisiane, the university’s magazine. She’s a former television news producer and holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UL Lafayette. To say that Sarah is a versatile individual is a vast understatement.

Watching

and interrelating with babies and toddlers is awe inspiring. Reading to a youngster is an eye-opening experience: his or her powers of perception and ability to imitate and respond are uplifting. Seeing tiny tots’ delight in natural phenomena like snow and neighborhood wildlife and interactions with the people in their world is definitely food for the soul.

READ A GOOD BOOK. An uplifting work is definite soul nourishment. Walden by Henry David Thoreau gives the reader an appreciation for the natural world and humankind’s relationship with it.

Helen Keller’s The Story of My Life is an inspiring account of the author’s journey from deaf and blind child to activist and author. The Missing Piece and The Missing Piece Meets the Big O by Shel Silverstein simply yet eloquently present truths about self worth and interpersonal relationships. The Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff series by Richard and Kristine Carlson are classics that help readers stay in touch with the best parts of themselves.

CATCH A FLICK. The Proud Rebel starring the incomparable Alan Ladd and Olivia de Havilland is a beautiful tale of family, love, and new beginnings. Mr. Holland’s Opus tells the story of a wannabe symphony composer who finds himself a reluctant high school music teacher. This extraordinary movie will move viewers to tears of sadness and joy. And then there’s To Kill a Mockingbird, a stirring adaptation of Harper Lee’s unforgettable novel.

Even the most jaded individual cannot help but be moved by this one.

BE THANKFUL. Stop and think about everything that is going well: a train arrives at the station at the right moment; that injured ankle is only strained – not fractured; a warm spell melts the ice which is making walking difficult; air fares to a favorite vacation spot have suddenly become affordable. A moment spent expressing gratitude for life’s blessings big and small is the best soul nourishment there is.

LOVE Why You Shouldn’t Bring Up

THE PAST

During a Fight Have you ever been in the middle of a heated argument with your partner and brought up something from the past? Has it ever actually helped the situation in any way at all? Chances are that your answer to the second question is going to be a big, resounding, “no.” If your goal is to stop fighting and to make up, then there are many good reasons why you might want to avoid dredging up past fights and past mistakes.

It Doesn’t Do Anything to Lower Tensions Few people resemble the calm, logical, thinking human beings they are when in the middle of a fight. Emotions are running high and the tendency to overreact and take things the wrong way is even higher.

Even in the unlikely event that you have a very good reason for bringing up your partner’s past mistakes, doing so in the middle of an unrelated fight is not a good idea. Your partner will only get upset that you’re bringing up what they thought was a settled issue.

You’re Probably Only Doing It Out of Spite Chances are that you don’t actually have a good reason to bring up the past in the first place, and that you are only doing it to hurt your partner and make them feel extra guilty for what they’d done this time. Don’t sink to that level. It’s hard to be the bigger person, but, if no one is willing to do it, then how will you ever stop fighting? Show some restraint and your partner will be more likely to do the same for you.

Are You Ready to Have YOUR Past Mistakes Brought Up? If you absolutely must bring up the past, then be prepared deal with what is likely going to be a list of your own failures. Two can play at the blame game, and your partner will have no shortage of material to fire back your way if you’re the first to cross that line. If you think it’s unfair to hear about a mistake you made two years ago because of something that you did today, then you need to remember that it’s unfair to do it to your partner as well.

50 FACE | JUNE/JULY 2015

AVOID DREDGING UP PAST FIGHTS AND PAST MISTAKES.

It Won’t Resolve the Current Problem Finally, the number one reason for why you don’t want to bring up the past while fighting with your partner is that doing so will do nothing to resolve your current fight. Get your head out of the past and focus on the here and now.

If your partner did something to upset you, then you have every right to focus on the issue at hand and demand an apology. If you’re to blame, then it’s your responsibility to apologize instead of rationalizing your actions by thinking about “that bad thing they did that one time.”

Is There Ever a Good Time to Bring Up The Past?

Not bringing up the past during a fight doesn’t mean that you should let your partner make the same mistakes over and over. Sure, if your partner forgot to run a very important errand, then you shouldn’t bring up the time last month when they came home late without calling.

But, if they are always hurting you and refusing to change, then you need to stand up for yourself and demand to be treated better. Don’t let them get away with disregarding your feelings just because you don’t want to be seen as too high maintenance. Leave one-time mistakes in the past where they belong, but make sure you address recurring issues before they get too far out of hand.

One of the ways you can most help your spouse during difficult family times is to provide practical support to other family members. This help can be in the form of visits to the hospital, helping with childcare, running errands, bringing in food or simply being there to chat with family members. Your contribution, no matter how simple, can make a big difference in how well the family gets through their difficult time.

BE A DIVERSION A family crisis can be an overwhelming experience that takes over every thought and emotion. Reminding your spouse that other parts of life are still ongoing can help to provide moments of humor and warmth that are necessary to relieve stress and maintain emotional stability in difficult situations. Going out to dinner or seeing a movie can help to disconnect your spouse from the situation for a short time and give relief from negative thoughts.

LAY ON THE TLC Family crises can add even more stress and profoundly impact the health of your spouse. Managing the crisis can cause irregular eating and sleep schedules that can increase stress. Make sure your partner is eating a healthy diet, suggest going for a walk or encourage exercise. See that your spouse has some time for undisturbed sleep so that he or she is able to handle whatever the situation requires. Discourage overuse of alcohol, but note that having a single drink together in a relaxed atmosphere can help to relieve tension at the end of a long day.

Your insight about your spouse’s personality and emotional life can be helpful in finding the right measure of support, without excessively overstepping personal boundaries. Be sensitive to your spouse’s mood, and be ready to enlist the help of

Curly hair may vary by texture and pattern, but the common denominators seem to be dryness, frizziness and lack of moisture. Women can achieve beautiful curls when they find the right products. “No two curl patterns are the same, so it’s important that you find products specifically designed to nourish your curly hair,” Alvarez says. Curls are definitely in the spotlight and with the right cut, style, products and tips, women can achieve their full curl potential.

“At the end of the day, whether your hair is curly and bouncy or straight and sleek, you should nurture the beautiful hair you were born with,” Alvarez says. (BPT)

Skin sheds constantly — in fact, approximately 1,000,000 epidermal cells slough off every day, and in a bit more than one month your body’s entire outer layer of skin has renewed itself. Chemical peels exploit this process of epidermal turnover by causing intentional, localized damage to an area of skin affected by acne, sun damage or aging.

MAKEUP FOUNDATION

for Summer TINTED MOISTURIZERS Tinted moisturizers are a convenient way to add sheer color to the face without the hassles of applying foundation. The added tint gives skin a healthy slow, while the moisturizer keeps it soft and dewy.

When you wear a tinted moisturizer, you won’t need to wear cheek color during the day, although you may want to apply a little blush over the tinted moisturizer for evening wear. Most cosmetic lines offer tinted moisturizers, but it’s easy to make your own. Mix a small amount of liquid foundation with your regular moisturizer.

For an even sheerer look, use mineral makeup to make your tinted moisturizer instead of liquid foundation.

Base makeup and foundation can feel dense and heavy when worn in the hot summer months.

When the temperatures rise, it’s nice to have alternatives to foundation that will keep skin looking clear and translucent without appearing overdone.
