ORA DENTAL STUDIO

Going into the New Year everyone is talking about what to do to lose weight or to keep your skin healthy in the cold months…but what about one of the first things people see when they meet you—your smile! We all know good teeth go far in a world full of Hollywood grins so what are some of the things you can do to get that movie star smile?
Most of us have already tried the whitening tooth paste and the off the shelf trays at the store that take 6-8 weeks to work and leave our bathroom a mess. Try a new quick, cost effective solution… ZOOM! laser whitening. We all want immediate results and that is just what ZOOM! gives you. It only takes 45 minutes—yes just a lunch hour with time to make it back to the office—and your teeth will be as much as 6-8 shades whiter. The results last up to 18 months and strengthen your tooth enamel.
Color not the issue? Try aesthetic tooth and gum contouring. It takes less than your lunch hour—30 minutes—and it is for people who have slightly uneven edges, are unhappy with the shape of their teeth or have asymmetrical gum levels. The procedure can be done on a single tooth or numerous teeth and the end result is instantly even teeth, balanced gum lines and a reason to smile!
Sounds great, right but where can you get this all done here in Chicago? Check out Ora Dental Studio: www.oradentalstudio.com. With offices in the West and South Loop, this eco-friendly practice offers a variety of services under one roof in an environment that is modern, calm and comfortable and makes you feel more like you are at a “Five Star” spa than a dental office. Just what you need when you are starting off the New Year, with a new you!

STAY IN AND SHOP ONLINE

This time of the year, any unnecessary trips are well-avoided. Any attempts at going “out there” are in order from get from point A to B to C and back again. Considering this behavior, what are you supposed to do in the form of recreational shopping? Go to the Internet of course. Here are some great online stores that will satisfy all your browsing needs. Sit back, relax, and click away.
For the UK -Loving Trendsters:
www.Topshop.com
Topshop has taken the US by storm and is slated to open its first American store in New York City in the next few months. But until then (and for those of us not living in NYC), the online store won’t disappoint. Look for low-priced dresses, knits, blouses, and more…all with the trendiness that only a Kate-Moss-endorsed store could achieve.
For the World Travelers:
www.ShopLanguage.com
Language’s homepage says “Shop the World Without the Jet Lag” prompting users to click on a country of origin for the fashions they are about to browse. This site is a fantastic way to discover emerging fashion labels from all around the world. Shop Language’s online store for a unique, designer piece that you can be sure of no one else around you will have.
For the Departmentalized:
Sometimes we trust only what we’ve known for a long time. For this type of online shopper, department stores such as Neiman Marcus have you covered. With all the merchandise offered, you could get lost browsing this site for hours.

Valentine’s Day means something different for everyone…for the single gal it may be a night to go out and celebrate their singlehood, for the attached couple it may be a day to do something a little extra because you feel lucky to be in love and for those that believe it is just another Hallmark holiday…it is a chance to say: “single or not I will pick the day I celebrate love.”
But no matter what you think or how you spend the day there is no denying that chocolate on Valentine’s Day tastes sweeter! It has been a longstanding tradition to buy your honey or yourself some great treats to toast the day. Since Chicago is known for its great food, it is no surprise we have some great chocolate places to pick from. Check out our favs below because Valentine’s Day or not...chocolate goes with everything.
