8 | May 2, 2019 | the orland Park Prairie news OPPrairie.com Female empowerment, education and fun converge at Lady expo Laurie Fanelli Freelance Reporter For the past five years, 22nd Century Media has curated a unique way for women to enjoy a day of education, empowerment and fun with its Lady: A Women’s Expo. The sixth annual event — held Saturday, April 27, at the Tinley Park Convention Center — was bigger and better than ever, as more vendors, speakers, chefs and fitness aficionados offered expertise on everything from wellness to fashion to parenting and more. “It’s a great way to kick off Mother’s Day a little early, do some shopping, have fun, learn some things,” said Heather Warthen, chief events officer for 22nd Century Media. “There’s something for everybody.” Many of the vendors engaged with expogoers at their booths with contests, giveaways and games. “People want experiences, and they want to feel like they’re getting something out of it,” Warthen said. “Vendors providing those engaging experiences right at their booth is huge.” The event featured a DIY Sign Party, Art a la Carte helped attendees paint their own win glasses, and the main stage featured the likes of Yoga 360 instructors, The Talking Shirt owner Rachel McCurdy and George Mitchell from Mitchell’s Flowers & Events, who arranged flowers to music during his presentation. In between spreading the word about the wide variety of household appliances available at their Homewood and Mokena stores, Don Lorenz and Nick Dasaky, of Lorenz Appliances Inc., connected with vendors and attendees through a series of Facebook Live videos during the expo. “We do a Facebook Live at our store every Wednesday at 5 p.m. and today we decided to tie in with 22nd Century Media to go around and interview a bunch of the vendors that are here,” Lorenz said. Ellen Dicosola, of Frankfort, is looking forward to summer parties, so she stopped by the cooking demo stage to learn a new recipe or two. She said she sampled “an excellent” veggie salad prepared onsite by Chef Tom Grotovsky, The Unforgettable frankfort Chef. “It’s a great summer salad with vegetables and then you add cheese,” Dicosola said. “You can’t go wrong with feta cheese and dressing.” Fashionistas and bargainhunters found a variety of European designs at the Dress 2 Dazzle booth. Elsewhere at the expo, Chief Mammography Technologist Ellen Orloff and 3D processing CAT scan technologist Heather Hinton of UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial — the latter of whom informed attendees about virtual colonoscopies — were on hand sharing the importance of healthcare screenings. “We’re trying to promote screening mammograms to prevent breast cancer, or to detect it and then treat it,” Orloff said. “We’re doing our best to get out there and get the word out, so everybody’s coming and getting their mammograms when they should. Expogoers also could give back to the community at the Vitalant blood drive and the It’s All about the Dress: Pay It Forward dress drive. This summer and fall, 22nd Century Media is offering a Ladies Night Out series beginning June 13.

Enter Artistic Medspa, 14811 S. Founder’s Crossing, Homer Glen, which offers the latest treatment options for facial esthetics and smile enhancement. “We concluded,” practice manager Jeanette Akroush said, “that Botox treatment of the face — and other treatments such as dermal fillers — will impact our results with restorative dentistry as well as meet our patient’s desire of having facial esthetic procedures performed.” Artistic Medspa offers a full slate of cosmetic solutions, from Botox and skin resurfacing to cellulite reduction and scar reduction, led by medical director Dr. Joel Akroush, who along with his staff believes in solutions over quick fixes. “There’s a lot of hype and a lot masking the problems as opposed to correcting the problem,” Jeanette said. “Our Medspa treatments are all science-based and backed by years of successful outcomes. These procedures initiate a natural healing process to rejuvenate the skin, spurring the growth of new collagen. “We aren’t just using a cream to make your skin feel more supple; we are healing the skin from paid advertisement within, literally turning back the hands of time.” Dr. Akroush is a trained member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, which has provided him with advanced cosmetic techniques. The staff at Artistic Medspa is also trained by the Venus Concepts in numerous cutting-edge procedures that must be applied by trained professionals. Just some of those procedures are: intense pulse light therapy used in photo rejuvenation and laser hair removal; noninvasive facial and body sculpting; fractional radio frequency for both skin tightening, skin resurfacing and wrinkle reduction; and magnetic pulse therapy and lipolysis, or cellulite reduction. George Mitchell, of Mitchell’s Flowers & Events, arranges flowers to music on Saturday, April 27, on the main stage of Lady - A Women’s Expo, held at the TInley Park Convention Center. Laurie Fanelli/22nd Century Media Artistic Medspa also is an authorized retailer of SkinMedica, which makes advance skin-care products with reliable ingredients, and also offers a loyalty program under Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions, where you can bank points, earn rewards and save money on your favorite cosmetic treatments, such as Botox and Juvaderm. “At Artistic Medspa, we are firm believers in natural beauty, but also believe in helping you age with grace and elegance,” Jeanette said. “This means that wrinkles, sagging skin, sun damage and uneven skin do not have to be a part of your aging process. “We are here to provide the utmost personalized care to help you look and feel your best. Our team will take the time to listen to your concerns and discuss the treatment that would be most appropriate to help you reach your goals.” Submitted by Artistic Med- Spa, 14811 S.
