Dear Graduating Class of 2012,
I will keep my commencement address short and sweet. I know that you are anxious to venture out into the world…a world much bigger than our rural little piece of the planet. But, before you do, remember the following:
Sun is great, sunburn, not so much
Summertime means being smart and taking care of your skin
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
You know what is NOT an attractive look?
A sizzling red sunburn.
You know how I know this? Because it has happened to me (GO FIGURE) many, many times.
You need proof?

Building the ultimate ‘beach bag’ for summer
Pack light, but pack smart when you head to the shore

I looooove to go to the beach! It is not officially summer (no matter how high the temperature gets) until my feet are in the sand and I can smell that delicious salt air.
Not to boast, but I think I may have perfected the ultimate weekend “Beach Bag” by whittling down to these fabulous...
A visitation by the ghost of proms past
Weren’t the late 1980s awesome? No? And what was with those sleeves?

As you read this, do you smell burnt toast wafting from the kitchen? Can you hear the clanging of 40 (or so) pots and pans being thrown into the sink (heaven forbid loaded into the dishwasher...

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

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...

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.
