Living in sunny Atlanta, most of us haven’t been shorted on time spent in the sun. And now we have the sun spots to show for it! Otherwise, your skin may have some acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, even rosacea, and you wonder what you can do to improve it. Dr. Beaty would advise you to get […]
Although we’re just at the end of summer, hopefully, we all can still remember spring. Lawns and spring = aerating, the process of machine punching little plugs in the turf. The idea is to allow better penetration of fertilizer and air and to encourage the turf to grow new shoots in the aeration holes. Microneedling […]
If there’s one truism, it’s that every tattoo has a story behind it. Some of those stories could be a little cloudy considering the addition of alcohol to the evening in question. Still, every piece of body art does have a story. The question is, what if you don’t want to hear that story any […]
Squiggly red, blue, and purple lines may have their place — on a child’s doodling with a new set of crayons — but not on your legs and ankles. Ugh. Spider veins.

After reveling in the slave rebellion and assorted doings of Mr. Douglas, you had to take a bathroom break.
