Finally… a store

that’s a lot of fun and a little different!

Spartina

Shoppers never know what they’re going to find when they shop at Peaches Home & Gifts at Brookhollow and 281 in the HEB shopping center! The store opened in 2005 and is named after the owners’ poodle that is in the store several days a week, and is always very well dressed!

It starts with an exuberant greeting of “Hi, welcome to Peaches! Make yourself at home and flap your wings if you need help!” If this raises an eyebrow, Gina Blankenship, owner, explains, “I used to say, if you need help just holler, but we had a rowdy group in one time!”

Exemplary customer service is their claim to fame, that and 5,100 square feet of the most sought after giftables and home décor. Their lines include Pandora Jewelry, Jon Hart, Yellow Box Shoes, SwitchFlops, Swan Creek, Circle E, and Aromatique and they are the #1 retailer in San Antonio for Tyler Candles. Two years ago, they added an interactive kitchen to allow for entertaining customers for events. Peaches also features fashion jewelry and a large selection of handbags as well as an impressive garden section, gourmet foods, baby gifts and inspirational items.

Jon Hart Designs

Once every couple months you can be sure Peaches will be hosting some sort of social “shindig” to celebrate whatever the season, holiday, or event may be!

Peaches even provides a craft table to entertain children while parents shop and a courtesy coffee counter for customers to enjoy as well.

Gina’s attitude is “There’s nothing here anyone needs… I know, I’ve checked! That means when someone comes here to shop – it’s warm fuzzies from the get go!”

The family pooch is in good hands at Camp Bow Wow! While remodeling projects may be exciting for homeowners, they can be a stressful time for the family pet. With nails lying around, doors swinging open and strangers mulling about, home renovations can pose a risky situation as well. And while locking the pooch in a small room is one alternative, allowing him to run free and frolic at Camp Bow Wow’s® Doggy Day and Overnight Camp is even better!

“People use us for many different reasons,” says Tamara Wetegrove, owner of San Antonio’s Camp Bow Wow® at 11931 Jones Maltsberger Rd. Open seven days a week, the facility has a flexible enrollment schedule to accommodate every client, from those needing to drop off their dog for just a few hours while new carpet is installed to those needing to board their pooch while on vacation. Some merely want their dogs to socialize, others don’t like to leave the family pet home alone while they work or run errands.

Despite the reason, Camp Bow Wow® offers every dog a safe, clean and activity-filled place capable of wearing out even the most hyperactive pup.

With four indoor and outdoor play areas, canine campers are free to romp and roam off leash for most of the day. Cozy cots within private cabins are available for nap time and a staff member is always present to provide constant attention and ensure dogs are playing nicely. Parents can even check in on their pets via the many web cams stationed throughout camp and treat their pooch to a cleansing Camp Shower at the end of the day.

Dogs boarded at the facility also have free access to Camp Bow Wow’s® day camp. “We’re not like a traditional kennel,” says Wetegrove. “The dogs are actually out playing with their canine friends.”

All newcomers must undergo a temperament test to ensure they play well with others. “We won’t take any dogs that are aggressive to other dogs or the staff,” says Wetegrove. All campers must also be vaccinated and spayed or neutered if they are six month of age or older.

For pet owners with animals with special needs or who need special attention, Home Buddies by Camp Bow Wow® is great solution. Home Buddies by Camp Bow Wow® is the most comprehensive in-home pet service available. Now you only have to place one call to receive care for all of your pets, and they will enjoy this service from the comfort of home. “The Home Buddies pet sitters are the friendliest and best trained caregivers in the industry,” says Wetegrove. Home Buddies pet sitters will care for dogs, cats, fish, rabbits and other small pets.

Whether you need a daytime or overnight pet sitter, dog walker, or simply need help removing your pet’s waste, Home Buddies by Camp Bow Wow® can help you keep up with your pet’s needs! We are now taking reservations for the fall for our Home Buddies service so please call the number below for more details.

Do you have UNWANTED

Cellulite, Thigh or Belly FAT? A

s with many of us, Dr. Shahbaz Yazdani was having some difficulty losing a few stubborn pounds a few years ago. “I was repeatedly told to have liposuction,” the Stone Oak family practitioner recalls. “But, being in the medical field I knew the dangers of surgery. I was sure there had to be another alternative.”

No Surgery, drugs, needles, creams or was. Noninvasive cellulite and lipoplasty procedures lotions... JUST RESULTS! There are an effective option for ridding the body of the extra fat

and troubling spots diet, creams and exercise won’t budge.

A deep endogenous dermal heating method that essentially melts the fat, lipoplasty not only slims the body, but also tightens the skin and eliminates wrinkles.

Amazed with the results, Dr. Yazdani began offering the nonsurgical weight loss procedures at his own family practice, located at 19178 Blanco Road, Ste 106. A year later, he remains the only doctor offering noninvasive lipoplasty on the north side of San Antonio.

“It feels like a hot stone massage.” says Dr. Yazdani of the pain-free procedures that require no recovery time.

Depending on which procedure is used, between five and 10 treatments are typically needed to achieve the desired results. “Many people come in on their lunch breaks.”

Dr. Yazdani offers free consultations and invites adult men and women of all ages and sizes to learn more about the procedures, ask any questions they may have and view before and after photos of past clients. “People love it,” the doctor says. “They are quite pleased by the results.”

Dr. Yazdani’s My Doctor Family Medicine office is open five days a week. For more information, call 402-6080 or visit www.mydoctorfamilymedicine.com.
