Ladies Choice is a women’s wellness boutique focused solely on serving the needs of breast cancer survivors, providing these women with a one-stop, all-needs, friendly, private shopping experience. One of the unique features of the Ladies Choice boutique is that it is staffed with Certified Mastectomy Fitters. The certified staff of Ladies Choice are trained and committed to provide products that help a woman maintain both her femininity and confi-dence during an emotional, life-transition period.

Linda Hentz, owner of D&J Medical Supplies in Fort Worth, recognized the need for women who have undergone breast surgery to have a comfortable, compassionate shopping atmosphere to find health related products. She opened Ladies Choice last year, to provide products to restore a woman’s confidence and help her maintain femininity.

Ladies Choice is committed to helping women look and feel their best. Women often experience a wide range of emotions due to the traumatic experience of breast surgery. The boutique offers a caring and knowledgeable staff that is sensitive to their needs. There is a wide selection of prosthesis’ and mastectomy bras to fit everyone’s need. In this business, “one size” does not fit all women.

Linda is committed to serving the needs of women looking for high quality Mastectomy Bras, Silicone Breast Forms, Mastectomy Bathing Suits, Post Mastecto-my Camisoles, and Lymphedema Com-

pression Arm Sleeves. In addition, Ladies Choice is the only location west of I-35 that carries Mastectomy Bathing Suits. Linda and her staff are dedicated to customer satisfaction and continually strive to pro-vide exceptional service.

Post mastectomy products are covered by Medicare and most insurance companies. Linda works closely with vari-ous organizations in the community that are willing to help financially. If anyone is not insured, she will work to help secure financial assistance.

Ladies Choice is accredited through the American Board for Certification. Linda is also a member of the National Retailer Advisory Panel for Amoena, a leading manufacturer of breast forms and bras.

“Linda enthusiastically participates in our events throughout the year to raise both money and awareness in our fight against cancer. She has been a longtime advocate for the American Cancer Society, and each time we have asked for her sup-port, she is there for us, said Mary Mysko, Community Manager for the American Cancer Society Fort Worth. Due to Linda’s knowledge, experience and passion we have been able to double the number of breast cancer patients we have served in 2008.”

Scent stirs memory. You can use aroma to evoke the emotion of a childhood experi-ence, enhance romance ... and even hone your competitive edge in the business world.

In an increasingly competitive job market, many Americans are seeking every edge they can get to find a job, or keep the one they have. Stimulating the mind and memory function can help professionals feel more alert and “on their game.” Aro-matherapy can be one more weapon in a professional’s business arsenal.

Aromatherapy works to stimulate memory and the mind because our sense of smell is the only sense directly connected to the central nervous system. The nasal bulb, an area of densely packed neural receptors, sits near the center of our heads and inter-faces directly with the brain. By contrast, miles of nerve pathways sit between the ears, eyes and the brain. Tying visual and auditory experiences to a distinct aroma can help us process, retain and recall visual and auditory data more effectively.

Essential oils, the essences plants use to at-tract pollinating insects or ward off disease and predators, are the core of aromather-apy. They are completely natural, widely available, and can be great tools for stimu-lating mental clarity and the enhancement of memory.

The oil most associated with memory is rosemary. The scent invigorates and refreshes while it stimulates the mind. Tom Havran, aromatherapy expert for Aura Ca-cia, makes this suggestion: Try occasionally sniffing a small bottle of rosemary essential

oil while studying for an exam or preparing for a work presentation, and then smelling the oil again during the test or presenta-tion itself.

Mr. Havran suggests several other mentally stimulating essential oils that enhance concentration and alertness, including:

Sweet basil is great to diffuse at your desk when that inevitable post-lunch lethargy starts to sap your productivity. It’s as easy as placing two to three drops on a sticky note and positioning it near the exhaust fan of your computer.

Bergamot orange is loved by almost everyone who smells it, and the scent can inspire fantastic brainstorming sessions. Combine five to six drops per ounce of wa-ter and make a mist to occasionally spritz the atmosphere during your next meeting.

Peppermint oil is regarded as a cephalic oil - it’s associated with the head, brain and nervous system. Use your fingertips to massage a single drop into the temples to clear the mind and dispel tension.

You might be in the habit of fueling mental clarity and alertness with cup after cup of coffee. That’s fine, but perhaps not as interesting, inspiring or delightful as the beautiful scents and extraordinary benefits provided by pure, botanically derived essential oils. Try infusing your old work routine with some new clarity today.
