Willowdale: an event to dress for
While some are there for the horses, many come to make fashion statements
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I have always loved the fanciness of the Kentucky Derby. While I have never had the occasion to attend, lucky for us, Unionville, PA is located in the heart of horse country, as well! Rolling hills and Ireland green pastures provide a picture perfect backdrop for the annual...
You know you’re getting old…
The delightful milestones of the (slightly) above 40 crowd
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Last weekend I celebrated a birthday. And, this weekend, I am still licking my wounds.
To capture the essence of what I’m feeling, I thought I would summarize in a list.
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month
Don’t ignore early warning signs, when it doubt, get it checked
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Most of my friends, colleagues and patients know that I am passionate about prevention. My family, my friends and my patients have all been touched by oral cancer. Oral cancer is no fun. Your dental professional is trained to evaluate the health of all the oral...
You are (wearing) what you eat
Guys, with careful planning, a food stain or six can still give you that couture look
EDITORS NOTE: Our normal Sunday fashion columnist is unavailable this week. Something about a tire iron and her mechanic at the Mercedes dealership. She will return to this space next week, assuming she makes bail, with exclusive coverage of the Chester County Jail fashion show.

The sky is not the limit for fashion
You can still travel by air and look good doing so
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
We are rapidly approaching Spring Break week and many will be jetting off to exotic locations! (Exception = Hockenberry family, who, thanks to a $3,000 car repair bill, will be firmly planted in good ol’ Unionville)
I must say that I have old fashion values when it comes to flying. I long for...
Driving home a fashion choice
Are you really what you drive?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Does the car you drive reflect your sense of style?
One could make an argument for it, certainly. But, truth be told, I’m not that much of a car fanatic.
You know how some people are extremely knowledgeable about what brand/make/model is the “best”? (Exhibit A: my brother-in-law)
I’m NOT one of those...
Lalique: a celebration in glasswork
By Colleen Boyle, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
During the early 20th century Rene Lalique created artistic glass car ornaments that adorned the most expensive cars of the period. A special base and wiring was designed so that as the car accelerated, the glass mascot would glisten. Last November a Lalique glass fox ‘renard’ car mascot hood ornament was estimated to sell at $100 to $150 at...
Why is dental care so expensive?
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I get asked that question often, and to be honest, I understand why patients feel that way. When a friend of mine, a savvy businessman learned about the business of dentistry he was actually surprised it didn’t cost more! He suggested that I share the hidden side of modern dental care.
The personal touch matters
A monogram can make something more than special: it can make it yours
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I was born and raised in Delaware County.
However, I firmly believe that I was a Southern belle in a past life.
And, I know this because I love to use the word “y’all”.
And, I will buy any item of clothing with a polka dot, bow or sparkle on it.
And, most importantly, if...
Mastering your shopping technique
What’s 10,000 hours or so between friends?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Have you heard of Malcom Gladwell’s book, “Outliers-The Story of Success”?
Well, the basic premise is that to become truly successful at any given task, one must commit to 10,000 HOURS of practice.
That means, in order to “master” your goal on a world-class level, you have to practice 6...
