Certified Pet Groomer and CEO of Averys Pet Styling Salon & Boutique Offers Tips to Keep Pets Safe and Healthy During Harsh Winter Weather

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

In order to diminish the effects of the winter weather, Certified Pet Groomer and CEO of Averys Pet Styling Salon and Boutique, Taria Avery, suggests 3 basic tips for pet parents to get started with to help keep their fur-kids healthy and happy during the winter season.

1.) Brush or Comb Your Pet 2-3 Times a Week

Keeping your pets coat clear of knots and matts is as important as maintaining monthly baths. Using a brush is fine, but if your pet has long curly hair be sure to use a comb and take it all the way down to the skin. For some double coated dogs, excess oils can build up in their skin and may cause dry patches that may eventually contribute to hot spots if pet parents do not pay attention to their pets skincare regimen. On a double-coated dog, use a brush to remove the excess undercoat and to facilitate proper air circulation to the skin.

Cats require grooming too. Many cat owners believe their cats do a good enough job keeping clean, but they too need a thorough combing to help keep their skin and coat healthy.

2.) Set Aside 15 Minutes for Essential Care

In addition to brushing or combing, essential care includes clipping nails, brushing teeth, and cleaning out pets ears. This should be done about 1-3 times a week depending on your fur-kids specific needs. During the winter season, grooming nuances tend to get put off, but to keep pesky infections at bay it is critical to maintain essential care.

3.) Maintain Exercise Habits

Dont let the blistering winter elements stop pets from getting the exercise they need. Pet parents can create in-house solutions to make sure their pets get the required exercise. For example, allowing pets to walk on treadmills is a great way to keep pets fit. But be sure to keep the treadmill on low speed, and discuss it with your Veterinarian before putting your pet on any exercising machine.

Avery understands pet grooming is just as important during the winter months as it is during the warmer seasons. Bitter cold conditions can have a harmful effect on a pets skin, coat and paw pads if not properly maintained. Unfortunately, pet parents may be tempted to skip out on winter grooming sessions assuming that allowing their pets fur to grow full is the best protection from intense winds and cold weather.

Lastly Avery says try to stick as closely to their normal grooming routine as possible. Make sure your fur-kid has access to fresh and clean water at all times, keep a space heater close by to provide additional warmth in the house if appropriate. As the cold and snow set in, continue booking your regular grooming sessions, but use these tips to protect your fur-kid and supplement your existing maintenance schedule with your dog groomer or cat groomer.

The Maercks Institute Now Provides The Best Miami Facelift Care Seamlessly In its Own Class III Certified Operating Room and Boutique Hotel Style Accomodations

Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 01, 2013

The Maercks Institute has been years in the planning and just months ago finally took form on the edge of Miami's exciting Design District. The design had to work around renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Rian A. Maercks' practice style and needs. "I wanted to create a seamless environment with unparallelled safety and comfort. I knew that the unpredictable conditions and personel of most hospitals just wasn't the best thing for my patients, particularly my facelift patients."

Dr. Maercks' practice is a well-rounded mix of all aspects of plastic surgery care; however, he is most known for his uniquely natural appearing techniques in face and breast surgery. The majority of facelift and facial rejuvenation patients that seek out Dr. Maercks' expertise are not from Miami. Dr. Maercks' large European, South American, New York and West Coast patients fly in for the unique offerings at The Maercks Institute. "I do not like to send facelift patients home because there are a lot of unnecessary risks like falling or even bending over to pick something off the floor. These activities on the first night could potentially cause bleeding or hematoma. In my controlled facility patients are catered to-- and there just isn't this worry, blood pressure stays low because patients are relaxed and feel as if they are on vacation."

"In the unlikely event there is an urgent need, I am always close by and have full resources at my disposal twenty-four hours a day."

Dr. Maercks' morning check includes removing all bandages and checking for any residual blood collection which are easily and painlessly evacuated. Next Dr. Maercks' caring staff washes the patient's hair with luxurious aromatic treatments and the patients are free to shower in their luxury on-site accommodation and head home feeling fresh and clean.

"It can be scary to come to a city far away from home to have surgery with a physician that you have only met on the phone. My patients are instantly at ease when they come to the beautiful surround where they will spend the day and night instead of meeting me in a hospital and going to a hotel for the night."

"The response has been incredibly positive from all patients treated with my facelift and overnight stay. This is very different from my past experiences in hospitals with staff that are variable and not necessarily pleasant. This system makes it a delight to be the surgeon, the staff and the patient- true harmony!"

Dr. Maercks conducts limited private consultations at The Maercks Institute, 4500 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami FL 33137. Scheduling can be arranged by calling (305) 328-8256 or emailing Dr.Rian(at)RianMaercksMD(dot)com

Out of town patients can arrange e-consultations and schedule treatments by calling (305) 328-8256 or emailing Dr.Rian(at)RianMaercksMD(dot)com

Summer Makeup Tips and Tricks from Salon Boutique Academy

Addison, Texas (PRWEB) June 03, 2013

To stay up-to-date on current trends, Salon Boutique Academy met with makeup artist and educator Brianna Meshack-Wilks in early May. Meshack-Wilks explained the specifics of the popular current look, which involves bold lips, graphic eyeliner and dewy, luminous skin. Meshack-Wilks also said to anticipate cranberry/mulberry lips with frosty eyes to be a popular look by the fall.

Salon Boutique Academy members asked Meshack-Wilks for some tips to guard against makeup mistakes. She explained that there are three concepts that will help to avoid these common errors: receive professional assistance in selecting the proper foundation, always wear sunscreen and recognize that more is not always more.

When it comes to preventing frightening make-up meltdowns during hot spring and summer Texas days, Meshack-Wilks suggests keeping blotting film and setting powder in purses, as well as a brush to apply.

For women on the go, Meshack-Wilks recommends three tools to give them a quick boost in the shortest amount of time lip gloss, concealer and mascara.

Meshack-Wilks advice to budding makeup artists is to study the masters of the industry, find strong mentors, get educated on the current trends and take classes to enhance technical skills.

Meshack-Wilks is the PACE Makeup Program Educator at Salon Boutique Academy in Addison, Texas. This program provides comprehensive training on the fundamentals of makeup artistry techniques using the key concepts of professionalism, artistry, creativity and education.
