Restoring your image and your life.

Remembering 9/11

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.”

— Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl


“September 11 was a reminder that life is fleeting, impermanent, and uncertain. Therefore, we must make use of every moment and nurture it with affection, tenderness, beauty, creativity, and laughter.”

— Deepak Chopra


“Remember the hours after Sept. 11 when we came together as one! It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us.”

— Secretary of State John Kerry


“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.”

— Former President George W. Bush


 

Labor Day

Labor Day – what a great time to talk about eye safety in the workplace, right?

Do you often skip the safety protection when your on the job? Think about all the time you’ve decided to not wear the safety glasses when you are using the table saw. But hey, you’ve been doing your job for so long, being careful and not doing anything stupid come second nature now, right?

National Tailgating Day – Wear Those Shades!

Happy National Tailgating Day – but while you are out there enjoying a juicy brat by the grill, be sure to have those sunglasses on your face as protection for your eyes!  Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, but their most important job is providing protection to your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. The sun can be just as harmful to your eyes as it is on your skin, without proper protection.

 

 


Happy National Red Wine Day!

Researchers found a substance in grapes can protect blood vessels in the eye from being damaged by aging.  Resveratrol is a compound that stops the growth of harmful blood vessels in the retina and blindness associated with eye diseases such as macular degeneration – the leading cause in vision loss.

Other studies have linked it to anti-ageing, heart disease and cancer protection. Resveratrol is found in particularly high levels in grape skin.  If you don’t drink red wine, you can get the same benefits from consuming peanuts, raspberries, red grape juice, blueberries and cranberries.

So sit back and have a glass! (But not too much)
