"A Paper Bag Princess is not your grandma's fairytale. The princess has her dress burned at her wedding and loses her prince to a dragon. So she heads off to face the dragon and save her prince wearing nothing but a paper bag. Along the way she encounters all sorts of twisted characters, which she outwits with cunning and intelligence. In the end she learns that not all are what they seem. Stereotypes are often untrue. Looks are not nearly as important as what's on the inside...AND even a dragon can wind up being your friend, especially one that's only collecting princes & actually treats them with utter respect and kindness."

Hairstylist Recommendation
Are you dying for a SNAPPY NEW LOOK or need to FRESHEN YOUR STYLE?  Are you forever in search of that PERFECT HAIRSTYLIST but are starting to think she/he doesn't exist?  Well, Adrienne Moss, Jens List member, just got the BEST HAIRCUT AND COLOR OF HER LIFE! and must share her newly discovered secret: TIFFANY COLLINS at PANACHE HAIR STUDIO in Westlake Village (across the street from Brent's Deli).  She is so worth the drive, and then some.  Adrienne was tired of pulling her hair back into a ponytail day after day and desperately needed a make-over.  Tiffany took 10 years off in just a few hours!  And she can do the same for you!  Give her a call at 805.496.7457 and tell her Adrienne referred you.  (Full disclosure: Adrienne gets a discount for referrals but would be making this recommendation no matter what...she would crawl over broken glass for another haircut like this one - seriously.)

MON ARCH Body Total Wellness Practice“METABOLIC MAKEOVERS™”
Providing Clients With The Building Blocks To Achieve Maximum Health.  Keeping MOMS Always FIRST IN MIND
In today's fast-paced world, life can be complicated by pressures to succeed and be the model of excellence. We are sometimes overwhelmed by responsibilities we put on ourselves to be it all. We are waking up tired, unable to think straight in the morning without caffeine; needing high-carb snacks, more caffeine, or a nap to get through the afternoon; then burning the midnight oil because we're too wired to sleep. Pretty soon we are in a seemingly unending cycle of exhaustion and poor nutrition — and feel desperate for the energy we once had.  We are giving...giving...giving...to everyone, but how about to ourselves?   At MONARCH they believe a healthy lifestyle begins with a general understanding of how individual choices affect overall well being.   The MONARCH BODY “Metabolic Makeover” program maximizes the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through preventive measures, and alternative approaches to traditional clinical treatments.
