April 2022 By Elaine Economou Pilates for pelvic floor health One of the most important things to understand about pelvic health is that your pelvis is part of a larger integrated system.

Equally important is the simple fact that anyone can improve their pelvic floor health through smart, effective movement and exercise. Simple Pilates exercises can help strengthen your pelvic floor and bring more awareness [...]

April 2022 Photo of Ann Arbor Distilling Company By Michael Fox Winter is turning to spring and thoughts of summer begin to creep into our minds. The Ann Arbor Distilling Company is shifting its focus to the beautiful months ahead, but also taking time to reflect on new beginnings, growth, and the revival of our community coming out of the fog of a pandemic. Two years ago, our entire world turned upside-down. Our production team quickly transitioned from producing world-class spirits to producing hand sanitizer. While we dearly missed seeing our customers’ happy faces in our tasting room, we took comfort [...]

April 2022 Photo on Unsplash By Sabiha Bunek, DDS One thing I would not have predicted since COVID-19 became an integral part of our lives is the increased demand for cosmetic dental procedures. During the three-month shutdown of our practice in early 2020, we were focused on tackling new guidance and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements and studying new ways to operate as safely as possible. When we reopened, I was surprised to see so many patients requesting procedures like teeth whitening, clear aligner treatment, and cosmetic veneers. Some have claimed this is the result of people spending more time on [...]

BRITTANY TOBIAS, OWNER OF TOP DRAWER: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR WARDROBES

Julie Palmer2022-04-29T18:09:47-04:00

By Marji Wisniewski On a recent half-day off from school, my 13-year-old daughter and I spent the afternoon “thrifting.” We are fortunate to live in the Ann Arbor area, where there are great options for thrifting and consignment. Our second stop on our route was Top Drawer, now owned by Brittany Tobias. The store was well-organized and set up more like a boutique than a thrift store. Items were beautifully displayed, and the large front windows let in bright, natural light. I felt gravitated toward all the unique coats and jackets while my daughter checked out the athleisure wear. Top Drawer [...]
