Today’s Jens List is sponsored by the Hair Wizard Salon – The Head Lice Masters. At Hair Wizards they offer a wizard of a service to get kids back to school and parents back to their everyday life. There is no problem they cannot solve when it comes to lice treatment and nit removal. In the kids-friendly salon they create a fun atmosphere for the children who might otherwise freak out at the prospect of have their heads treated for lice. They will sit still and cooperate, when they won’t do so for their parents. For many families, head lice are a private and often time, uncomfortable and embarrassing experience. Although they would like to see this stigma banished, they know the head lice will still cause many people embarrassment, stress and frustration. Head lice are a common affliction affecting millions of Americans each year. It has nothing to do with cleanliness, environment, status or income. In fact, lice are attracted to anyone who has hair on their head, since they need hair for laying their eggs (nits) and scalp to live and feed on. Go to them OR they can come to you! Covered by some insurance companies!
Call (818)-501-0101 for an appointment and lice won’t have a chance!

Beachy Cream
Inspired by ice-cream-fueled summers on Cape Cod, hip coastal surfers, her family’s signature recipes, and the concentrated flavors of 100% all natural ingredients, proprietor Ann Ryan has created what many are touting as the perfect ice cream sandwich. Made in small batches, with locally–sourced, sustainable, and organic ingredients, it’s a homage to the classic, albeit with a uniquely flavored spin. You know, like a movie remake with better casting. Whether stationed at area farmers markets, roaming the streets of Malibu (please check twitter for updates on Beachy Cream’s mobile whereabouts) or sweetening up local parties and events, Beachy Cream’s Key Lime Cowabunga, Strawberry Surfer Girl, Surfin’ Safari Chocolate Chip, and signature Ginger Wipe Out will transform your ice-cream-sandwich-eating-experience into a flavor-fueled extravaganza. It’s no wonder we’re asking for seconds and thirds.
