Greetings!

Doc and JoAnnWith Thanksgiving only a week away we thought it a perfect time to share something we have enjoyed through the years--our Cranberry Salsa.

And since about now everyone starts thinking about that perfect gift for that special person, we thought it would be appropriate to let our loyal patients know about our great idea to reward you for your thoughtfulness.

We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day surrounded by love and joy.  On that day, as on every day, we will be thankful for our family, thankful for our animals, and especially thankful for the loyalty and kindness of our patients.

Remember to spare a thought for the men and women of our military Allergan logowho, often far from home, stand watch at the barricades and protect our beloved country.  God bless them and protect them.

FACE 2 FACE WITH JOANN

YOUR PERSONAL HOLIDAY BEST...

You know the drill...right about holiday time, when you want to look your best, the colder, dry desert air takes a heavy toll on your skin making it look blotchy and magnifying the irregularities.  That's when I make time for our ultra-hydrating Desert Quench that combines no-downtime dermal planing with soothing anti-oxidant and peptide-rich hyaluronic serum.  Finishing with a gentle stream of healing oxygen, the results are nothing short of magical.

This is the same treatment our friend Kate Somerville uses on the celebs before all of the red carpet events and has them almost lined up around the block.  In the desert, it's exclusively ours at a holiday price of only $150 (regular price $175).

Take advantage of our talented staff to apply makeup before your holiday parties.  Amy and Lynne with the help of TRUE mineral makeup will send you off looking your radiant, natural best.  Usually priced at $65, a half-hour makeover is holiday priced at $50.

And remember, laugh and love your life!  And be thankful.

Until next time...
                                                                  JoAnn

CRANBERRY SALSA
from Doc (Martha Stewart) Foxx
Martha is only a guess...I don't really know where this came from but I've been making it for about 15 years.  It is always a favorite on Thanksgiving and is an excellent addition to post-holiday turkey sandwiches.

Cranberry, Orange, Cilantro Salsa
Cranberry Salsa

1 red bell pepper
1 fresh poblano chili
½ cup sugar
¼ cup orange juice
2 cups raw cranberries, coarsely chopped
¼ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
 
Char red bell pepper and fresh poblano chili over gas flame until blackened.  Enclose in paper bag for 10 minutes to steam.  Peel, seed, and chop pepper and chili.
 
Mix sugar and orange juice in heavy, large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves.  Remove from heat and mix in chopped cranberries, transfer to large bowl, and cool to room temperature.  Mix roasted pepper and chili, chopped hazelnuts, and grated orange peel into salsa.
 
Mix fresh cilantro into salsa.  Season with salt and pepper.

LATISSE is a very unique drug that encourage eyelash growth.  It is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.  LATISSE users may see results starting at 8 weeks with full results at 12 to 16 weeks.

 THE LAST WORD
 

With her bad start and her come-from-dead-last race to victory in the Allergan logoBreeders' Cup last weekend, ZENYATTA, the magnificent (and now legendary) five year old Thoroughbred mare managed to get our pulses pounding when she beat a field of talented all male horses.  With 14 victories in 14 starts, she now stands alone as the all-time winning female racehorse in North America.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from a horse and jockey who refused to quit in spite of overwhelming odds.  The best quote, however, goes to Ayrton Senna (1960-1994), the great race car driver, who said: "With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."

If you want to get an idea of what riding on a horse at speed is like, click here for an amazing helmet camera video of Zenyatta training.

The award-winning Medical and Skin Spa is a state-of-the-art medical skin clinic located within the spa at Hyatt Grand Champions Resort in Indian Wells, California.  We have treatments to fit every budget and we invite you to call 760-674-4106 or visit us on the web for more information.

Remember to take a moment and forward this email to a friend.  They will thank you for the tip.
 
Sincerely,

Richard Foxx, MD and the Skin Wizards
