Sun.  Wind.  Age.  Laughter.  Tears.  Years of forgetting to slather on sunscreen.  All those nights of falling into bed without washing off the make-up and dirt.  All of this takes its toll on skin, and can leave you looking older than you feel.  Luckily, we live in an age where it’s all completely reversible, and age-defying skin is a quick medi-spa visit away…  The list of services offered at Skinpeccable is long, and their most popular services include: facials, Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, and Thermage (TM).  This deal gets you $100 to spend on any service you choose at Brentwood’s favorite medical spa center to start erasing those signs of aging today!

With 20+ years of experience, with 1000’s of dogs, he can help you with any training or problem solving needs. Jeff stresses that, “a trained dog is a happy dog because through learning commands he or she can clearly understand what is expected, instead of looking at us like we’re Charlie Brown’s teacher.” Training courses consist of the most common and useful commands for everyday life with your dog, and you will learn safe, positive, and reliable methods for developing an obedient and reliable SMART DOG. Jen’s List Member, Karen Gold who used Jeff’s services said “After trying three other dog trainers, we contacted Jeff, who quickly & successfully trained our dog! We can’t believe how responsive and well behaved our German Shepherd is now, and we highly recommend him.” Call Jeff @ (818) 968-9422 or email jeff@smartdogsdogtraining.com. Jeff offers a discounted in-home evaluation and consultation for Jen’s list members.
