"What a great magazine!!!!! With all the advertising I have done for Salon Bamboo overthe last seven years, I love the response I have gotten from South County Magazine.Whether you are a new business or existing ... It's great when your customers noticeyour advertising!" - Jamie Springer, Owner of Salon Bamboo and Del MarBeauty Supply, San Clemente

“I really appreciate the help and support offered by Jody and her staff. Togetherwe came up with not only a successful ad and editorial, but have generated

enough business to increase our staff size. In the current state of the economy, it’sone thing to survive but thanks to South County Magazine we are thriving.”

- Candice Loren, C. Loren Studios, Dana Point

"I've been using media advertising for 5 years. I'm used to having to wait a fewmonths for any phone calls when I start in a new publication. I was so pleasantly

surprised when my phone started ringing from the very FIRST ad that I placedwith South County Magazine. Jody really has done a great job for me."

- Stephanie Frisch, Insurance 101

“I know when South County Magazine goes out into circulation because ourphone starts ringing. We love it!” - Scott E. West, D.D.S.

"Simply put, advertising in South County Magazine works. My participation has resultedin new customers and the process couldn't have been easier. Not only did the magazineoffer design services at no charge, they created a great ad without needing much inputfrom me because they took the time to really understand my business. The resulting addoes a great job of getting my 'message' out - I'm very pleased."- Betty Darroch, Mission Viejo Wigs, Mission Viejo

Hidden in a historic district, I wondered how anyone would find us. Of course,there's nothing like word-of-mouth, but when we decided to advertise, I felt thatSouth County Magazine was a good fit since it highlights all the best things to seeand do in the OC. Sure enough, we began hearing from our visitors that they sawus in the magazine and decided to check out our zoo. South County Magazine iscertainly something to crow about!" - Carolyn Franks, owner ZOOMARS

Petting Zoo, San Juan Capistrano

"We have been involved with South County Magazine since its first edition in January2011. Monaco Jewelers was featured as the cover of the inaugural issue and weare still receiving positive feedback from customers - new and existing - who remem-ber seeing our showcase. Additionally, we are very happy with our advertising rela-tionship with South County Magazine and look forward many years of mutualsuccess and continued growth"

- Ron Pashaian, Monaco Jewelers, San Juan Capistrano

"I keep hearing that print media is going away, but I can't find any evidence of thatbased on my experience in advertising with South County Magazine. For my busi-ness, it's been phenomenal - every time the magazine goes out, I consistently re-ceive calls that have resulted in a steady stream of new clients. I couldn't be happierwith my placement and encourage other local business owners looking for avenuesto increase their customer base to look no further than South County Magazine." -

When I opened Capistrano Car Wash, I went in and met everyone at Independence Bank, and I’ve been happy since. They provide a great bankingexperience. Perfect location, easy access, friendly-personalized service, anda bank that really knows my business and has all the products and services totake care of my needs. That’s why we bank with Independence Bank and whyI recommend them to any South County business.


Some people are born great; somepeople create their own greatness.

For Victoria Vannini, creating withhair and giving her clients a stylethat reflects their personality and‘true self ’ is more than just a “cutand color.”

“It begins with the consultation,” says Victoria. “I want to know aboutyour lifestyle and career. [About] the hair products and tools you use.This is essential in evaluating the condition and texture of your hair andhelps us to come to a place that is realistic - at the beginning and wherewe want to go for the future.”

Education is an important element to Victoria’s career. After graduatingfrom cosmetology school, Victoria continued at the Vidal Sassoon Acad-emy in Los Angeles. While apprenticing at the Carlton Hair Salon at Crys-tal Court for one year, she honed her skills with creative color and haircutting. From there, she went on to be an educator for Paul Mitchell. Shecurrently takes classes at the Unite Academy in Carlsbad.

"Whatever yourhair needs, I desireand appreciatethe opportunity tomake your hairdreams come true.”

“I want to stay current withcolor trends, foil placement,new haircutting techniquesand strategies,” says Victoria,who sees her education as ahair stylist as ongoing. “The in-dustry is currently on the cuspof using ammonia-free color. Iwant to give my clients thenewest and best products that are on the market that will keep their hairin BEAUTIFUL condition. Schwartzkopf's new color line 'Essensity' willdo just that with 100% coverage without ammonia, odor, preservativesor alcohol! Also, all my highlights are done WITHOUT bleach!! UsingScrupples oil-based highlighing system ensures the quality of your hairstays intact."

With over 12 years of experience with innovative color, corrective colorand highlights, lowlights and glazing, Victoria is an award-winning col-orist who prides herself in helping her clients "recharge" their hair withvibrant, pure color and luscious shine - all the beautiful hues with noneof the harmful ingredients.“I've seen to many clients come in withover processed hair, in need of an 'In Salon' protein treatment to re-store their damaged hair."

“Every hairstyle has to be approached differently and requires thought.Just because a style works for Jennifer Aniston doesn’t mean it willwork for every client’s hair texture and facial structure. Everyone isunique and it’s important to take the time to feel the hair to see howit moves, determine the best, most complementary hues and utilizetop-of-the-line products that will enhance and strengthen the hair with-out any of the damaging ingredients."

team satisfaction - all backing quality home furnishings, rugs and ac-cessories.

“We would rather serve the customer than ourselves,” says Penman,trusting that as he serves the customer, he serves the futures of theRenaissance Home Furnishing team members.

Most furniture retailers structure their employee pay on commissionedsales. While this might make sense for the bottom line, it doesn’t neces-sarily make sense for long-term satisfaction for the customer (that’s youand me, if you follow). You’d prefer to be steered toward what’s right foryou rather than what makes the most money for the salesperson, andyou’d prefer to see employees working together to give you the bestcare rather than contending with each other for your dollars.

Even more customer-friendly than the Renaissance Home Fur-nishings sales philosophy is their complimentary, no-obligationin-home design services. Do you have personal taste, but don’tknow how to go about implementing it in the space you have?Better yet, do you have no taste and need some advice fromsomeone who does? Dennis has two full-time designers who callRenaissance home. One of them will come out to your home andconsult with you on how to make it everything you want. To getyou what you need, they may custom order certain pieces (usu-ally delivered within a few weeks) or they may pull items straightoff the Renaissance Home Furnishings showroom floor.

Many times, furniture retailers will contract with outside deliverybusinesses to get the furniture to your home. Renaissance hastheir own delivery crewmen who have been with the store since

the doors opened thirteen years ago. Their low delivery fees and extraspecial care make delivery hassle-free.

Wow, all this service value... but what about cost? In the day we’re liv-ing in, cost is more critical than ever. Recall that keeping costs down ispart of Renaissance Home Furnishings’ secret sauce for staying com-petitive. Happy employees, Dennis’ keen eye for deals and a convenientlocation right off the 5 Fwy on "Furniture Row" in Laguna Hills trans-late to keeping costs low so value can stay high.

So you’re sold on issues of service and value. What about style? If yourtaste ranges from rich Spanish-Tuscan and Traditional to Transitionalto lightwood, casual and reminiscent of the beach, Renaissance HomeFurnishings, true to its name, will revive and renew your interest infinding the right items for your home outside of the (big) box.

ing to the Centers for Disease control, more than half of the 7 million sports and recreation-relatedinjuries are sustained by youth as young as age 5. Last year, the National Youth Sports Safety Foun-dation forecasted that more than 3 million teeth would be knocked out in youth sporting events - yetin a survey commissioned by the American Association of Orthodontists( AAO), 67% of parents ad-mitted that their child does not wear a mouth guard during organized sports.

“Each year I see a significant number ofchildren with dental injuries that resultedfrom failure to wear a mouth guard,” saysSan Juan Capistrano-based orthodontistMark Sayed, D.M.D.

The American Dental Association recom-mends wearing mouth guards for acrobat-ics, basketball, boxing, field hockey,football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey,lacrosse, martial arts, racquetball, roller hockey, rugby, shot putting, skateboarding, skiing, sky-diving, soccer, squash, surfing, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting and wrestling.

"I would encourage children to wear mouth guards in any sport where there is a good chance tocollide with a ball, a piece of equipment or another player," says Dr. Sayed.

In fact, Dr. Sayed encourages parents and coaches to require mouth guardsas part of a child’s uniform-for every practice and every game, that is whyhe is offering them at free of charge to anyone who mentions South CountyMagazine in the month of September.

There is a distinct disconnectbetween parents’ concernfor their children’s safetywhile playing sports and theprotective equipment kidscurrently use in most sports.

A child’s mouth and face can be easily in-jured if the proper precautions are notused while playing sports. In fact, accord-

Come on. We love our pets. We love them so much we wantthem to be healthy, happy and look their best, right? That’sexactly what Liana Brown, owner of Wig-Wag Dog Grooming

believes. Her dog salon is the increasingly popular, highly special-ized, premium dog grooming service that is quickly building a rep-utation in South County for customer and pet care.

Mention this article to receive $5 off your dog's first grooming. To experience the difference in dog grooming, call Liana at(949) 291-8799, stop by 32432 Alipaz St. #A in San Juan Capistrano or visit www.wigwagdoggrooming.com

Why does she do it? Well, Liana worked as a groomer for several companiesand learned how much customer service was lacking in the business. Sheknew she could do better, so she did.

"The inspiration for the name "Wig-Wag" came from the Capistrano Depot,"she says. "My grandmother, Maggie Olsen, was instrumental in getting Amtrakto make SJC a regular stop on its route, versus having to flag the train down.A "Wig-Wag" is an old school crossing signal consisting of a swinging discwith a red warning light at its center. "Wig-Wag" is also defined as the motionof a dog's tail moving to and fro. WIth a double meaning like this, I felt thatthis name was absolutely perfect."

Customers, (both dog and human) love the fact that there is no kennel waitingtime, because every appointment is created for that client only. Liana’s focusis all about pet safety, satisfaction, and optimum health. “People might notbe aware of this, but grooming isn’t just about your pet looking good. My ap-proach is that grooming is vital to their health. It shouldn’t be a rare treat. Iuse premium products and take great care to ensure each pet is happy andlooks their best!”

In the short time Wig-Wag has been open, Liana’s created quite a “buzz” inthe community. A San Juan Capistrano native, Liana feels her clients andtheir owners are an extension of her family. That’s why business is booming,and wagging tails are all you see when you walk through their door. Becauseshe’s highly trained and also a graduate from PetSmart Grooming Academy,Liana knows that anyone can groom a dog, but not everyone can do it safelyor happily. “I love my job. It’s always been a dream of mine to have my ownsalon. My ethics with dog grooming speaks volumes, and I attribute that tothe quick growth of my company.”

I’ve heard all about your Mr. Right. He’s cute,loyal, smart, makes your days worth living and

just happens to be… your dog!

Do you want to know a shameful secret about me?I tweezed, plucked and waxed my eyebrows into avery thin line. Hey, it was the 90's. As you canimagine, I thought I'd have to live with my barelythere, stern-looking brows or have to draw themon every day for the rest of my life. That is, until I

heard about talented Surgical Technician and Certified Per-manent Makeup Artist, Robyn Mannaert. I've heard about per-manent makeup, and I've seen how happy people are afterhaving it done, but it wasn't until I met with Robyn at the Per-manent Makeup Lounge and learned the scope of her servicesthat I realized just how valuable permanent makeup is.

Most people aren’t in a hurry to turn 65.But with the cost of health insurance,many are now finding it a relief to be

able to look forward to lower health insur-ance premiums and better coverage with theMedicare options available to them.

Medicare Supplemental plans, PrescriptionDrug plans and Medicare Advantage plans(with prescription drug coverage) are a neces-sity to have in addition to Medicare A and B.

Why is this?Medicare Part A, which covers hospitaliza-tion, surgery, and skilled nursing costs has aper occurrence deductible and daily copay’safter a certain number of days. Medicare

Part B, which pays for doctors and outpatient testing, only covers 80% of the Medicare allow-able amounts and it has no out of pocket cap.

So where is the savings? It’s in the monthly premiums and the co-insurance, co-pays, and outof pocket maximums.

People that I meet with that are 64 years old pay, on average, $500 a month for their healthinsurance if they are 100% healthy and anywhere from $600-$1200 a month (and sometimeseven more) if they’re not.

Let’s look at an example if someone were the “picture of health” when turning 65.

Unless someone is very low income, in most cases that person will pay $99.90 per month fortheir Medicare Part B premium (it can vary a little year to year). If they enroll in a MedicareAdvantage HMO plan with RX coverage they’ll pay nothing (zero) additional premium for thatbecause the insurance company for whatever plan they choose is subsidized by the govern-ment to provide coverage to the enrollees. So, in this example, people are saving about $400a month and they’re getting a plan so rich in benefits that they feel like the won the “health-care lottery”!!

Medicare supplemental plans still have a premium which varies depending on age and whatplan you have. Plan F, for example, covers all the gaps that Medicare A & B doesn’t take careof, and carries a monthly premium of about $165 a month for a 65 year old. A RX plan needsto be added, and that will be about $45 a month. This example has the only other out ofpocket costs limited to the RX drug co-pays, so even though a 65 year old is paying $210 amonth additional in premium (in addition to their Part B premium) they’re still saving about$200 a month and there is no real financial exposure except when it comes to prescriptiondrug co-pays.

So, the bottom line is less money, more coverage. If you would like to know more about whatyou have to look forward to when you turn 65, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I love giving people good news!

Who would have thought sucha (relatively) small changecould completely transformthe look and curb appeal ofa home? In just a few hours

and for less than the price of a new entrydoor system, Norton and Vicki Canter-bury, owners of The Beveled Edge, startwith a homeowner’s existing door, cutout a portion and insert custom artbeveled glass panels.

What was once a solid surface is now astunning entry defined by light, beautyand instant curb appeal.

A former Marine, Norton has honed his craftfor the past quarter century – starting withan apprenticeship at a stained glass studioin 1983, followed by the launch of his ownbusiness three years later in San Clementeand culminating in his current location com-plete with a showroom and manufacturingfacilities.

What sets their business apart is the per-sonal touch – both Norton and Vicki are“fully involved” in every job, working directlywith each client to “make certain we createthe vision they desire for their home.”

According to Norton, the collaborative de-sign process includes the creation of full-scale templates for review by the client andglass selection, which may include justbevels and clear textured glass or full color.The privacy level that each customer desiresin their leaded glass panels is discussed andimplemented.

“It is this approach that we believe results ina large percentage of our sales coming fromrepeat customers or are referrals fromfriends, neighbors, or relatives,” says Vicki.“Our business success can be attributed tohonesty, hard work and providing uncompro-mising quality in each and every leaded oretched glass panel that is hand-crafted byour expert artisans. The workmanship isguaranteed for a lifetime. Our goal is tocreate custom art glass panels that will ex-ceed your expectations in every way.”

most often is replacing the counter top know-ing that the cabinets aren’t great, but theywant to update SOMETHING! Now the only op-tion they have is to refinish or reface their cab-inets since you can’t rip out the cabinets whilepreserving the top. Sticker shock sets in whenthey realize that very often refacing costsmore than replacing, depending upon thekitchen, and refinishing only works when thecabinets aren’t a totally outdated style.

If you aren’t certain which way to go and wantto weigh your options you may find yourselfcalling a multitude of companies to gather bidsand advice.

Diving into your tranquil swimming pool on a hot day is theequivalent of a traffic-free drive home from work. It’s relax-ing, rejuvenating, and fun! But if you’re like many, your poolmight be run down and more of a costly headache than theparadise it should be. Outdated pool systems are one of the

Is it time to upgrade or create the pool of your dreams? Connect with Mike by calling (877) 476-6577or visit www.ocpools.net

SPOTLIGHT ON:biggest sources of energy and money wasters that largely go unde-tected for years. This is such a shame, considering the state of yourpool system can largely increase the value of your home. And speakingof increasing value, having a custom pool is one of the smartest waysyou can go these days, with outdoor entertaining quickly becoming

the hottest social scene. Butwhere do you begin? How do youknow where to start?

That’s where Mike Brunning,owner of Orange County Pools,comes in. A 27-year industry vet-eran, Mike is an expert at creatingcustom in-ground pools. With cus-tomer service as a top priority andprices that won’t be beat, OC Poolsare the highly sought-after com-

pany for pool transformations, and eco-friendly upgrades.

“I’ve been in the business for so long, I’ve seen how people will cutcorners or oversell, just to make money,” he says. “That’s not how I dobusiness. We’re honest and ethical and offer refreshingly good prices.”

Mike is also in the business of safety. Did you know you can now getthe “natural chlorine” treatment: Saline? The old standard calciumand sodium hypoclorite pools are harsh on pumps, and require moremaintenance, while saline conversions are much safer and effective.This eco-friendly service is one of many Mike at OC Pools canoffer you.

2) What is the cost for lasertoenail treatment?IR: The treatments are broken downinto two easy to understandcomponents. The first is theexamination and nail treatment whichmay be covered by insurance. Thesecond part is the actual lasertreatment which is not covered. Aone-time examination fee of $500 ischarged during the first sessionwhich covers both the fee for the ini-

tial examination as well as the follow-up office visit. There is a separate laser fee of $70 foreach toe which is also paid upfront and covers two laser treatments. For example, treatingone toe would be $570; however if all ten toenails are treated, the charge would be $1200.For severe infections, a third laser treatment may be necessary. Exclusive anti-fungalproducts are sold separately. You are not forced to treat all your nails as may be mandatoryat other offices.

1. How did you perfect the lasertreatment for fungal nails?Ivar Roth, DPM: After performing thou-sands of laser fungal toenail treatments, Ideveloped and refined a proprietary proto-col coupled with the newest second gen-eration FDA approved laser. The new laserwith its digital readouts allows me to tellprecisely how much energy is required tokill the fungus. With this information, I cal-culate a specific customized laser treatment tailored to each patient. This patient specifictreatment means that no two patients are given the same laser treatment. In addition, I in-vented a new way to get rid of the fungal infection in the toenails. Before your lasertreatment, I will perform Maximum Nail Reduction (MNR) which removes at least 80% of your fungus in a single office visit. This exclusive protocol is so effective that I appliedfor a patent and it is currently only available at my office. The initial treatment fee includes asecond treatment session in order to ensure your success.

For this reason, it’s a good idea to make decisions early, so that our fam-ilies are not forced to “figure it out” when we aren’t of much help. Pro-fessionals in banking, financial planning, securities, insurance, lawyers,and accountants can help. All of those professions now have mandatorytraining in dealing with aging clients. But the family is the key.

Many people don’t create an estate plan. Some initiate them, but don’tkeep them updated, or don’t fully implement them from the beginning.

A good start is to hold a family meeting mediated by your attorney, ac-countant, or financial planner – an impartial party present with the goalof operating from the interest of the principal (the parent or grandpar-ent whose estate and situation is being addressed).

Planning for this stage of life begins withclearly indicating one’s desire for the transi-tion of the estate, large or small, to one’sheirs. The best way is to involve competentprofessionals to help guide the process.

Landmark studies (such as those conducted by Texas Tech andThe University of Arkansas) are telling us a lot about how weapproach financial decisions as we get older.

In a recent article in Research Magazine, Fiduciary Expert MichaelFinke reports that the brain functions needed for making financialdecisions peak in our mid-50s; and while individuals older than thatdo not believe that they are any less competent to make financial de-cisions, they often are.

Financial decisions require a complex process involving both the abilityto respond to a stimulus (i.e. the offer of a financial product or a wealthdistribution concept) and to place it into a context of prior knowledge.

OK women... start your engines! I know many womenare “overwhelmed” by their cars, but it’s time for youto feel more empowered, confident, safe and knowl-edgeable about your vehicles.

Even though I’ve grown up around the car business, I still getintimidated. It’s not empowering to have to ask other peopleabout your car and it doesn’t feel good to be taken advan-tage of by mechanics or sales consultants. In the past, menwere not expected to know about decorating a house—andwomen were not expected to know much about automobiles.All that is changing.

For most of us, our cars have become our “home away fromhome” and even our “office on wheels.” We tend to carefullyselect a vehicle that expresses our personality, supports ourlifestyle and then we add special amenities to personalize it.

Villa Ford’s “Women on Wheels”AutoEmpowerment Seminars

Women On Wheels (W.O.W.) is Villa Ford’s gift to women who want to "be in theknow.” This fun seminar is presented monthly by our Villa Ford team of ex-perts—so we women will understand our cars and basic maintenance. My inten-tion is to empower women who might not have a lot of mechanical know-howby sharing the wealth of information my Villa Ford team has to offer (men arealso welcome). Attendees can expect to learn about:

• Care and maintenance• Service intervals• Checking oil, fluids and tire pressure• Tips for getting the most from today’s amazing technology • “Being in the driver’s seat” when purchasing a vehicle• Credit “insider tips”

I’m thrilled that Villa Ford’s "WOW" seminars are fast becoming the “talk of thetown.” At the completion of each seminar, it's been particularly rewarding tohear comments like “It’s nice to finally have an overview of car servicingneeds," “It’s nice to know I won’t be taken advantage of because I’m a woman,”or I applaud you for changing the image of the car buying experience." Ourmonthly women’s auto empowerment seminars are making my dreams cometrue! We invite you to come armed with questions and concerns and go homefeeling empowered.

While teens may be less likely than theirparents to go to a massage therapist,there are plenty of reasons why this agegroup should be encouraged to give it atry. The benefits of massage are well doc-umented, among them relief of muscle

Medicine). But for teenagers, there's an additionalpayback.

The teenage body is in the midst of transforma-tion -- exponential growth and development in arapid period of time. On the physical side, teensmay be at increased risk for aches, pains, and in-jury. Many teens strain their bodies with compet-itive sports, get erratic sleep, and consume aless-than-optimal diet. Massage can help muscles recover from overuse,and help balance the body and maintain that stability.

Perhaps even more crucial, teen massage can help improve body image and sleep pat-terns, and contribute to decreased depression, anxiety, and stress. This keeps a teenconnected to her body, even as it morphs in confounding ways. Bodywork has alsobeen reported to help mediate eating disorders, a growing concern among teens.

Another potential plus: A beneficial, therapeutic relationship can develop betweenmassage therapists and teenagers during the years when adolescents need adultconfidantes, but keep parents at a distance. The practitioner can become a support-ive, trusted adult in a teen's life. And the session itself can be a way to deal with allthe physical and emotional turmoil of this tender age.

3. Carb Up. Carbohydrates should make up about 2/3 of each meal.Choose carbohydrates that are high in fiber, such as wheat bread,pasta, bran cereals, oatmeal, CLIF Bars, potatoes and popcorn.

4. Powerful Protein. Protein isnecessary to repair and rebuildmuscle. Approximately 1/3 ofeach meal should contain thispowerful prop. To help counterthe wear and tear of trainingand racing, rebuild with foodslike grass fed beef, antibiotic-and-hormone-free chicken, lowmercury fish, lentils, cheeseand soy.

ergy highs and lows throughout the day and make you more energizedfor training runs.
