Bajabev's
Maintenance Crew
Great genes do account for part of Bev’s
young looks and with longevity running in her
family, she’s already in tune with what
it takes to get the most out of life and look
good doing it. Since her mom is a two time cancer
survivor she knows all too well about inherent
risks and encourages women to keep on top of their
health. A firm believer in a positive attitude
and a let-go, let-God perspective is the baseline
for her starting everyday. As with a growing number
of baby boomers these days, Bev is focused on
pushing the envelope physically, and not accepting
a midlife put-me-out-to-pasture attitude.
Sun exposure has been a big part of her life
over the years and although she will sport the
occasional tan, sunscreen and sunblock have become
very important as both health and esthetic issues.
Thanks to today’s advances in vitamin supplements,
fitness equipment, skin care regimes and hair
color management, it’s easy to look a decade,
or more, younger… AND feel it too! Here’s
a list of the VIP’s in Bev’s maintenance
team.
|
Dr. Rosanne Mayhew is one of Bev’s
primary care providers for wellness, preventative
care and age-defying esthetics. Explore the many
options in today’s healthcare and beauty
dedicated for women by women.
|
Fatima Atalik owns Cultured Nails
in downtown Los Gatos where Alena’s fantastic
work on Bev’s French nails gets constant
compliments. They also sell terrific scented moisturizing
body polishes.
|
| 
Lene Fried has been working her magic on Bev’s
blond mane for over eight years. Even when she
moved to Las Vegas that didn’t deter Bev.
When Lene is in town to see local clients, she
works from Palare Salon, 15555 Union Ave., Los
Gatos, CA , (408) 377-8080. Of course visiting
the JW Marriott in Las Vegas is always a treat
too.
