ornaments. Some ornaments even have their own special meaning or associated memory that sends the entire group down memory lane.
Lastly, punch a small hole (you can just poke the pen tip through) on top of the cardboard on the ornament, feed the string through, and tie a knot at the top to make a loop. You can put the loop over a branch on your tree, and it will look like a freshly baked cookie is hanging there! If you want to make the ornament even more meaningful, have your kids, friends, or other family members make themselves (or you!) as cardboard gingerbread people! They can add their hair, outfits, or anything
While this holiday nostalgia is wonderful, the problem is that many of these ornaments are old, from when kids were little, a married couple just started dating, or a group of friends first met. People rarely add new decorations to the tree and create new memories to look back on in the coming years. But you and your loved ones can change that this year by making your own DIY cardboard gingerbread ornaments together! All you need for this ornament is brown cardboard (from any box lying around), a white gel pen or marker, and string.

To make your “gingerbread,” you first draw out the shape of your ornament(s) in pencil on a piece of cardboard

GOODBYE UNWANTED HAIR: DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL
With the holidays on our doorstep, it’s the perfect time to indulge in some self-care — it’s laser hair removal season, and we are here to help you achieve smooth and hair‑free skin. Laser hair removal is a safe and highly effective method for getting rid of unwanted hair, leaving you feeling conditioned and carefree. We offer treatments for common areas such as the underarms, upper lip, chin, and axilla, helping you to look and feel your best. Whether you are a first-time client or someone looking for a touch-up session, we recommend scheduling a consultation to determine the right plan for your individual needs. The laser hair removal process typically spans 10 sessions, each lasting approximately 15–30 minutes and spaced
about six weeks apart. These intervals are carefully designed to ensure your hair follicles are efficiently targeted during their growth cycle, resulting in smoother, longer-lasting results. To maintain your hair-free skin, we recommend booking an annual maintenance session to keep the pesky hairs at bay! What sets laser hair removal apart from other methods is its efficiency and progressive reduction in hair growth. With each session, you can expect to see an impressive reduction of about 10% in hair volume. This gradual decline ensures you achieve the best results over the course of your treatments. To prepare for your laser hair removal treatment, we ask that you minimize your exposure to the sun, as tanned skin can
be more sensitive to the laser. Additionally, you’ll want to arrive at your appointment with shaved skin to ensure the laser can effectively target the hair follicles. Avoid waxing or plucking between and during your sessions to maintain the integrity of the hair and optimal results. Both before and after your laser hair removal sessions, it’s crucial to protect your skin from sun exposure. Sunscreen is your best friend! If you have any questions or need further information or guidance, we encourage you to reach out to our expert, Hope. She is our physician assistant and go-to guru for all things non-surgical and injectables. She will provide you with all the information and support you need to embark on your laser hair removal journey!
