We consider our bra a vital part of our fashion wardrobe and would not feel appropriately dressed without wearing one, especially women who work around other people. We also think that we must wear a bra for support to prevent sagging. A recent French study of younger women…
Breast Thermography is a screening that is best used for Risk Assessment and to incent women to take charge of their breast health.

A synopsis of his story: After declining the opportunity to follow in his dad’s footsteps in the…
Strawberries arrived earlier than normal this year because of the warm temperatures in March. Grown year round in California, strawberries are one of our most popular fruits whose intense sweet flavor is unsurpassed when we can pick and/or buy them locally in the spring.
