Dear Amber, I would like to thank you for your swift and efficient manner in assisting me to purchasea new home. It has been great and smooth transition for me.My dog likes the new backyard already!Tanks again for your help and assistance. Best regards
M. Morales
It was a privilege to work with Amber & her team while looking to purchase a home in Lakeway,exas.Amber has ample knowledge about real estate & she was always doing more than theaverage agent.I treasured her ability to advise me about inspections, utilities & financing: she wasalways there to help & support me during the whole process. Amber was always available, responsive,personable & patient. I would not hesitate to recommend Amber Hart & her team to any person whois looking to buy or sell a home.A. & M. Rakman
We had an excellent purchasing experience with Amber!Not only does she know the market, she
was a pleasure to work with! We will absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a real estateprofessional! Tank you Amberwe could not be any happier!Jeremiah & Raye
We were very impressed with the service we received f rom the Amber Hart team. I have boughtand sold a few homes before with other realtors in the past. I now know what it is like to work witha great team and it makes a huge difference when they are great at their job. I always felt that thepricing advice we received from Amber was spot on, but what really stood out is the magic she pulledto get people out to the house. Selling a house is a numbers game, right pricesure, but getting thetraffic in the house is really the realtors job. It just takes 1 buyer, but it always seems like you need a
certain amount of viewers.Te Amber Hart team knows how to drive people to see the property.Additionally, they are always very responsive, professional and willing to jump in to handle any issues.I would absolutely use this team again!S. Alwais & M. Charneco
We have nothing but good to say about our experience with you in finding a home.We appreciate yourpatience with us while we searched for the perfect place! It was a pleasure working with a professionallike you who came to know our wants and handled every need. You, along with your team: Lionel &Joey, have made this journey so much easier. From a personal standpoint it was great getting to know youbetter as well. Tank you Amber!I. & D. Wilson

WHEN MY son enters his preschool classroom,
he heads straight for the dress-up binits
always a toss-up between the firefighter or the
construction worker. Imaginary play is necessary for young
children, but having a rich fantasy life is pretty important
for grownups too. We might have graduated from the dress-
up bin, but we engage in fantasy every day. It serves as a dis-
traction from the routine of our lives, as relief from stress,
and it has the power to boost our esteem in a multitude of
ways. When we get dressed up for a special occasion, when
we take that exotic vacation, when we watch Scandal,
were taking a tripa mind trip. Through fantasy, we are younger, smarter, sexier,
and more successful.
And by we, I mean women andmen. Whether its because of proms, weddings,
or the female body as the ultimate fantasy (trucker mud flaps, anyone?), fantasy
has such a mistakenly female connotation. Men are equal participants in imaginary
escapes. Two words: fantasy football. And lets not forget video games, where every
guy can be ultimate athlete, soldier, rock star. You know the man cave? The expen-
sive spandex road bike outfit? The mid-life crisis sports car? All vehicles of fantasy.
I, myself, use music as fantasy. I put my headphones on at the gym, crank up
the treadmill, and start visualizing. I visualize myself as an amazing writer, a great
wife and mother, I visualize full nights of sleep, the dress Im going to wear to the
holiday party, I visualize success in every aspect of my life, to the tunes of Rihanna,
The Cars, Vance Joy, The Beatles. Sure, my fantasy might involve air drums, but it
is therapyin every sense of the word. I also love getting hooked on great television.
My current escape is back episodes of Game of Thrones. In that hidden time after
putting the kids to bed and packing lunches, I pretend that I lead an army of men,
that I am the Mother of Dragons. Which, in a family of three boys, I am.
The cover of this issue of Waterways Magazine, like that famous painting,The Lady of Shalott, where a beautiful woman glides through the water in a boat,
celebrates fantasy in all its glory. Waterwaysmodel is born-and-raised Austinite,
Danielle Foreman, a senior at Lake Travis High School. Danielle, 1 stRunner-Up in
the 2014 Miss Teen Austin pageant, has been accepted to the Honors College at Ole
Miss University and is considering that among other college options. She hopes to
pursue a career in print modeling, harnessing the power of fantasy to serve her real
life career goals.

ELSI BARTLEY LITTLE, a longtime Austin resident, teacher, wife, and mother,
passed away on September 26, 2014 at the end of a day affectionately named Kelsi Little
Day by her family and friends. On a trip to Disneyworld in December 2013, Kelsi receiveda call from her doctor revealing that she had breast cancer. Despite her diagnosis, Kelsi remained
positive. She continued to contribute to her community and to work as a 2nd
grade teacher at Lake Travis Elementary during much of her treatment. She is
survived by her husband Thomas and their two year old son, Vann.
Thomas remembers his wife as an Austin girl through and through. Her fam-
ily moved to Austin from Iowa in 1983, and she lived here for the rest of her life.
She attended Bedicheck Middle School, Crockett High, and earned her Bachelors
degree from Southwest Texas State University.
Kelsi taught for Lake Travis ISD for 13 years. She spent her first 2 years teach-
ing kindergarten at Bee Caves Elementary. She moved to Lake Travis Elementary
and found her calling teaching 2nd grade. She taught 2nd for 11 years and never
wanted to teach any other grade.
Kelsi and Thomas were married on August 15, 2011 in Turks and Caicos. Their son Vann was
6 months old and attended the wedding. Kelsi and Thomas were married for just over two years at
the time of her passing. Thomas remembers his wife as a positive and adventurous person. She
loved traveling anywhere she could. She spent a semester in Sweden while in college, and also
traveled to Italy, Russia, Finland, Costa Rica, Canada, and several other places that Im sure I dont
know about! She was very quick to smile and laugh and was an eternal optimist; she kept her smile
up until the end.
Kelsis love of life, commitment to her students, and beautiful spirit endeared her to many in
the community. Her friend and coworker, Davina Stringer, served as team leader with Kelsi at Lake
Travis Elementary. I had the utmost respect for her insight, experience, and professionalism. We
also had commonalities that always brought our conversations to matters of the heart: our stu-
dents, our children, and our Aggie husbands. Davina also remarked that, despite Kelsis illness,
she was always quick to smile and play. A few months ago, we had all been borrowing swim-wearat my house, gearing up for a splash park/swim play date. Kelsi was such a trooper, determined not
to let her discomfort and loss stop her from getting into the water with Vann and the rest of us.
After Kelsis last hope of treatment had failed, her health faded all too quickly. We celebrated
her on Kelsi Little Day, Friday, September 26th. I believe she held on until then because thats just
the kind of person she was. She held on. Knowing Kelsi taught me about the incredible privilege
we have to enjoy relationships...each moment counts. Kelsi lives on in the grateful consciousness
of the moments I cherish with my children, husband, and loved ones. That is her legacy to me.
During her final days, Kelsis only request to anyone who asked what she wanted was, Take
care of my boy. During Kelsis fight with cancer, Davina established an avenue for supporters who
wanted to make donations and rally with Kelsi in her fight at: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/
fmcw4. Now that Kelsi has passed, fundraising efforts have shifted to continue to support the fam-
ily and to honor Kelsis only wish, Take care of my boy. Donations can be made at the above site
or at: http://friendsofthelittles.weebly.com/index.html

THE ZILKER Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency provided the venue for this years circus-themed
annual Gala, The Flying Wunderkinds & The Amazing Feats of Giving, benefitting the Austin
Childrens Shelter. Although Co-chairs Tavia Conkling and Shannon Schmitz didnt swing from the
trapeze, they and their troupe of volunteers did present a high-flying event that raised over
$904,000 to support the work of ACS.
2014 marks the 30th Anniversary of ACS, an
organization that has experienced such a dramatic
expansion of services that it is celebrating its 30th
Anniversary with a name change from Aust in
Childrens Shelter to Austin Childrens Services. The
growth in services is specifically designed to prevent
abuse before it happens and to better intervene when
abuse and neglect have already occurred.
The move to a new 13-acre campus at Rathgeber
Village in the Mueller community in late 2009
allowed ACS to expand its programs to include both a

long-term transitional housing program for teens working
toward independence and a teen parent program aimed at
breaking the cycle of child abuse.
ACS now works toward safety, permanency and well-
being through the provision of various community pro-
grams including: Strong Start, a child abuse prevention
program for at-risk families with children under age 6;
the Care Academy, a child development and family sup-
port center; and Foster in Austin, a program to recruit,
train, monitor and support loving families that provide
foster placements for children in their own homes. Austin
Childrens Shelter will continue its operation
as one of the programs of Austin Childrens
Services, so the logoas well as the ACS
acronymwont change. But the new ACS
will reach more children in need and do
more to prevent abuse than it could before.

THE 9THannual Beauty of Life, a benefit for Hospice Austin, kicked
off with boutique shopping provided by some of Austins most beloved
avatars of fashion, as well as a Silent Auction. 900 people attended the
event, held this year at the Hyatt Regency and presented by Lexus of Austin, The
Boutique on Stonelake, Texas Oncology and Texas Breast Specialists. For the sec-
ond year in a row, Dinah Barksdale and Leslie Timmerman served as Co-Chairs,and were joined once again by Emcee Carl Stuart.
Carl Stuart informed guests that last year donations totaled $80,000 from
pledges taken from the floor, and that this years goal was $100,000. Guests
entered donation amounts on an app provided by Bid Pal on their cell phones
and watched the totals climb on a screen until the goal was surpassed!
In 1994, Hospice served 300 patients. Last year Hospice Austin served 2,000
patients. Along with growth in services, Hospice Austin has built a loyal and
unwavering group of benefactors. As Marjorie Mulanax explained, Your sup-
port means I can say the word Yes. When people ask whether we can continue
to accept all uninsured people who need our help, I can say Yes. To those who
want to know if we can maintain the highest levels of care at Christopher House,
I can say Yes. When I am asked to add an extra week of care at Camp Braveheart
for children who have lost parents or siblings, I
can say Yes, and when asked to begin a pedi-
atric hospice program I could say Yes.
Best-selling author, journalist, screen-
writer, dramatist and radio and television
broadcaster Mitch Albom spoke about his
nonfiction book Tuesdays with Morrie.
Mitch Albom lost his connection with his col-
lege professor Morrie Schwartz for 15 years
and rediscovered Morrie in the last months of

his life when he was succumbing to the ravages
of ALS. They visited together in Morries study
every Tuesday, just as they used to do back in
college, exploring themes of living and loving
and dying.
Albom wrote the book to help pay Morries
medical bills. It was rejected by over 40 differ-
ent publishing houses on the rationale that no
one would want to read a book about an old
man dying. The book has sold over 35 million
copies globally, and in Morries messages ofimportant truths about giving and forgiving,
his lifein a powerful ripple effectgoes on.
Albom spoke of the symmetry at the very
beginning of life and at the very end of life where
the importance of being held, and caressed and
comforted play the most powerful role in estab-
lishing the best of beginnings and the best of
endings. And this is what Hospice Austin does
and why its mission is so important.

IN THE YEAR of our savior Reggio Emilia, there did a monster
reign.
He walked amongst them unnoticed at times. Peaceful. Quiet. As
with Play-Doh. And the Trains of Thomas. And Maresol, that fair teacher of
Espaol who taketh no crap.
Things are as they should be, they said, at the Time Known As Drop-
Off. And then that time ended and the Time Known As Circle began. A timeof great decibel increase and insurrection.
In mighty voices, they said, LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN!
LISTEN! And, NOT ON JOSEPHS HEAD! And, LEAVE ELIZABETH
ALONE. LEAVE ABBOTT ALONE. I DONT KNOW WHY. NOW CIRCLE!
CIRCLE! CIRCLE!
But circle he did not and lo! Two horns did sprout! And that is how, after
Tales of the Great Letter E, the Time of Circle did end.
In quiet voices, they said, Line-eth up, ye who would travel to the far
reaches of the Kingdom. But Line-eth he did not, especially since he was
not made Leader of the Line-eth. First, he ziggethed. Then he zagethed.
And then he pushed him known as Zachary who yelled unto him, Im first
and youre NOT! And lo, his feet they did become cloven hooves!
Upon reaching the far reaches of the Kingdom, the Time Of Outdoor did
begin. In which sand was thrown far and wide, but mainly into Katies eyes,
and tag, it was played until Carter yelled, We dont like you! and Gregory
confirmed this and yelled, YEAH!
And lo, he grabbed his shovel and smacked it down, which brought a
voice like thunder that said Yellow light! and then he stomped his cloven
hooves and shrieked and the voice commanded, Red light! But he looked
both the yellow light and the red light
in the eye and laughed and into the OutKnown As Time he was placed. And they
tisked and clucked and remarked, Twas
no shovel he had, but a pitchfork.
As the Time of Outdoor ended and the
Time of Snack began, he no longer walked
amongst them unnoticed, but like a sharp
piece of Lego stuck in their feet.
After the Time of Potty, he washed his
hands and his clothes and the floor and
those around him. And then poopeth he
did go. Not on the potty, but behind the
potted plant. Because it was safe. And
they sighed deeply and whispered the
Prayer of the Pull-Up and wiped and wiped and wiped and called up the
Gods of Sanitation and wiped some more.
During the Time of Clean Up, there did occur a kerfuffle
between him and Jeffery and Marcus and Quincey that shook
the rafters. Then, using a bardic lute, he sang of the kerfuffle
to others over meade juice, but not before they put him in the
Zone Known As Chill and told him to sloweth his motor.
The Transitions, they will be the death of us, they did mut-
ter, and said five Hail-Maria-Montessoris for good measure and
then finallyOH FINALLYit was The Time Known As Lunch,
and then they did wave their magic organic carrot and sprinkled
Impulse Control Crumbs, but the Impulses, they were NOTControlled.
After much pillaging and plunderingbeware the ides of
sunflower butter in your hair!and much shrieking by Jill
and Mary Beth, a noble knight arrived at last to purge the
kingdom of the devil.
In she strode, wielding the sword of 1-2-3 MAGIC and the
awesome power of love, and she looked into the face of chaos
and commanded, Come.
And he went. Cloven hooves into Stride Rites. Horns receding.
And they sighed with relief, for they had survived another
day with that plague of school systems in kingdoms everywhere.
That beast that goes by the name: BOY.
So, Your Son is

ZACH THEATRE opened its 20142015 Family Series with a production of the Tony
Award-nominated musicalA Year with Frog and Toad. The show, an adaptation of Arnold
Lobels well-loved books, tells the story of Frog and Toads friendship throughout each of the
four seasons.
The musical featured an incredible cast with superb performances by Nicholas Kier as Frog and
Chase Brewer in the role of Toad. Kelly Petlin, Josh Wechsler, and Megan Richards Wright did an
outstanding job as the ensemble playing various characters throughout the show and enchanting the
audience with their antics.The story follows Frog and Toad on their adventures over the course of a year, and
incorporates some of the duos most well-known and loved stories. From Toads attempt
to grow flowers in the spring, his fear of looking silly in a bathing suit in the summer,
the pairs attempts to help each other rake leaves in the fall, through to a bumpy sleigh
ride down a steep hill in the winter, the show offers a number of vignettes that reveal
that Frog and Toad possess a friendship that lasts through every season.
The set made fabulous use of the available space and included the two houses of
Frog and Toad with an open area downstage. The houses were built on rotating
platforms and turned to reveal either the front door or the inner rooms of the duos
homes. With a few simple prop changes and the ingenious use of trap doors and
lighting, the small set took on the aspects of an entire forest and transformed itself
right in front of the audiences eyes to accommodate each season.From its vaudeville inspired costumes and musical numbers to its high energy
choreography,A Year with Frog and Toadis not merely a show for children but is
a top quality production that can and should be enjoyed by audience members of
all ages. Even adults will catch themselves humming along to Getta Loada Toad,
a standout song and dance number in which the entire ensemble joins together to
sing about their hopes of catching a peek of Toad in his bathing suit.
The show was directed by Nat Miller, the Director of Education at ZACH
Theatre. He said, A Year with Frog and Toadis an incredible show that brings the
books to life in a way that is charming, funny, and enjoyable for all ages. It is the
only childrens theatre production nominated for a Tony because of its incredible
music and vaudevillian aesthetic. It is not to be missed!
A Year with Frog and Toadruns through December 12thon the Topfer stage of

BELLA VITA Custom Homes is proud to introduce its Rough Hollow show-
case home. The villas informal Mediterranean style is a blended inter-
pretation of Provincial Spanish, Southern Italian, and other temperate
Mediterranean expressions. The heart of the floor plan features a single, open enter-
taining space. This entertainment area is positioned around protected gardens and a
central courtyard. The home is a blend of one, two and three story structures, with anexterior that consists of thickened stucco walls, integrally colored in muted earth tones,
and a mix of country stone masonry.
One is drawn to the elegancethe two-story paneled library, domed-topped,
sweeping staircase and a glimpse of the breathtaking views to follow. Its inviting
warmth is accentuated by the use of large timber beams and barreled, brick ceilings
juxtaposed against the natural light from the central courtyard. Gentle valley breezes
circle an intimate outdoor living space. The courtyards pool appears to magically sus-
pend the distant hilltops.

FLINTROCK FALLS
Flintrock Falls is a private gated community with breathtaking hill-coun-
try views and boasts one of the most prestigious golf courses in the area,
designed by Jack Nicklaus. Homes in the community range from the$500s to $1.6 million. Home square footages range from 3,000-5,500
sq. ft., with an average of 3,800 square feet. Flintrock Falls features a
closed builder program, meaning only the best of Austins homebuilders
are invited to build in the community. HOA fees include security, main-
tenance of the communitys private roads, and a social membership,
giving members access to many of the amenities Flintrock Falls has to
offer. Amenities in the community include The Academy of Golf, World
of Tennis sports complex, The Hills Sports Spa, Country Club, resort
style swimming pools, and several restaurants. Below is the 2014 Taxing
Jurisdiction for a 5 bedroom, 5 bath, 4626 sq. ft. home in Flintrock Falls,
built in 2007 and appraised at $1,037,873.
Schools:Serene Hills Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle School, LakeTravis High School
HOA Fee:$105 per month
Lake Travis Micro-NeighborhoodsAND THEIR TAXES
THERE ARE many things to evaluate when purchasing a home.
Obviously, square footage and features that will best suit you and
your familys lifestyle are primary concerns. And then there are
logistical details to think about, such as proximity to family and friends,
shopping, healthcare facilities, and schools. When budgeting for a home
purchase, it is important to add the assessment of property taxes and
potential Homeowners Association (HOA) fees to the cost of the mortgage
payment. These can vary widely throughout neighborhoods in Lake Travis.
When comparing homes in different communities in Lake Travis, a
detailed look at the taxing jurisdiction is instructive and sometimes reveals
surprising variations among properties of similar size. For instance, asrevealed in the charts at the bottom of pages 36 and 37, a 1905 sq. ft. home
in Lakeway built in 1987 is assessed a total of $6,202.68 in taxes in 2014
whereas a 2151 sq. ft. home in Rough Hollow built in 2013 is assessed a total
of $10,691.48 in taxes in 2014. These are tax rates without exemptions and
do not include the cost of associated HOA fees, that are subject to change.
Across all micro-neighborhoods within Lake Travis, some rates remain
constant. For instance, all homes within the Lake Travis Independent School
District (LTISD) are taxed at the same 2014 percentage of 1.407500 % on
every $100 of appraised value. It is the biggest component of the total tax
assessment, and the percentage assessed is the same for every property in
the district. There are reductions, however, for homesteaded properties and
for homesteaded over 65. However, other components of the tax bill, such
as MUD (Municipal Utility District) or city taxes, vary significantly. There
are many different MUDs within the Lake Travis area, and there are some
communities on septic that pay no MUD taxes. HOA fees also vary greatly
among different neighborhoods within Lake Travis. Even different neigh-
borhoods in Rough Hollow have different HOA fees. There are communi-
ties which have no Homeowners Associations or fees. This usually meansresidents have few restrictions when it comes to the use and maintenance of
their property. And many treasure this freedom. Many residents, however,
are happy to pay an HOA for amenities and feel strict guidelines protect
property values and the neighborhood aesthetic. This is the first in our series
on Lake Travis micro-neighborhoods and a comparison of taxing jurisdic-
tions. For accuracy, figures provided in the charts are taken directly from the
Travis Central Appraisal District website, www.traviscad.org.

ance industry to the residents of Lakeway, Steve and Anne Marie opened

Keeping HealthyIN THE FACE OF MEGA-GERMS
STORY BY AVA LOVE HANNA
GERMS ARE all over the news. Stories about the fight against
Ebola reaching U.S. soil, cruise ships plagued with Norovirus,
and worries about superbugs like MRSA abound. For the typical
American it seems like the threat of major illness is everywhere. The recentisolated cases of Ebola in the United States have raised the reporting of germ
threats to a fevered pitch. According to an article in the Washington Post,
David Kaplan of the American Counseling Association argues, People are
feeling out of control. Even if the threat of something like Ebola is minuscule
or remote, hysterical media coverage can lead us to develop a cognitive bias
that things occur more frequently than they actually do. In the case of Ebola
in the United States, fear has spread faster than the virus.
So what really are the risks of illness from threats like Ebola and other
germs for Americans? The answer is fairly low and depends on risk factors
like travel and occupation. In her article, Germs in the News for AARP,
Julie Bain breaks down the most talked about germ threats and explains how
likely one is to get sick from them.
In the case of Ebola, its all
about location. The people most
likely to be at risk for infection are
those traveling to West Africa. By
heeding the advice of U.S. health
officials and avoiding travel to
countries being hardest hit by the
illness, the average American is unlikely to come into contact with Ebola.
Location is also an issue for illnesses like Chikungunya, which is spread by
mosquitoes in tropical climates like the Caribbean, and MERS, Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome, which is mostly found in areas near Saudi ArabiaThese germs make headlines in the United States, but they rarely make it
to U.S. soil.
For Americans, more caution should be given to illnesses caused by
MRSA and Norovirus. MRSA is a staph infection that is resistant to many
antibiotics. It requires direct contact to spread, but risk of illness can be low-
ered with proper hygiene techniques like hand washing and ensuring that
cuts are bandaged. The same holds true for Norovirus, a gastrointestinal
virus. Avoiding close contact with infected people and hand washing are the
best bets to avoid catching this bug. The bottom line is that illness happens
but proper hygiene and common sense will keep most Americans healthy and
free of the germs threats that are making headlines around the world.
The Brain & Body Health Institute
DR. ROBERT VAN BOVEN, a board-certified neurologist and Lakeway
resident for over 7 years, is pleased to announce the opening of The Brain &Body Health Institute and Foundation. The Health Institute is focused on
providing expertise in conditions including headaches, memory/concentra-
tion difficulties, imbalance, dizziness, numbness, weakness, tremors, sei-
zures, strokes, and concussions. The non-profit Foundation aims to increase
health education/awareness and research so that the community can be
empowered in protecting and improving their health.
Dr. Van Bovens Neurology residency training at Harvard Universitys
Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center and Northwestern University, was fol-
lowed by 3 years post-doctoral fellowship training at the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) using advanced neuroimaging to understand brain plastic-
ity, the bases of learning and recovery after brain injury. He also completed
a 4 year fellowship at the Johns Hopkins Hospital investigating mechanisms
of recovery after injury. Dr. Van Boven continues to participate in research/
discovery to help others with brain disorders. He is the partnering principal
investigator, in collaboration with colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), in a Congressionally-Directed Department of Defense
traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment award. His team is evaluating novel
methods, web-based games and brain-feedback methods using MRI studies,
to help wounded warriors at Fort Hood, TX with persistent concentration
and memory problems after TBI.

BioFIT Medicine
BIOFIT MEDICINE was designed by owner, Kevin Hoffarth, M.D., with a
singular question in mind: If I were the patient, what would I want?First and foremost: every patient wants to have more time with his or her
doctor. At BioFIT, a medical consult is an average of 120 minutes. Another
goal is having a doctor who will find the root cause of the patients dis-
ease instead of having to take medications for a lifetime, and Dr. Hoffarth
has advanced training through the Institute of Functional Medicine and
world-renowned Cenegenics. Weight and hormone issues are another con-
cern as patients dont want to see multiple providers for these problems.
BioFIT Medicine offers proven, science-based, comprehensive physician-
only weight management, nutritional counseling & bioidentical hormone
replacement expertise. All BioFIT patients receive FREE Ideal Protein con-
sultations by our physician. Patients also want a doctor who can care for
all their chronic care medical needs, and Dr. Hoffarth is uniquely versed in
all areas of chronic care medicine, including diabetes. Bedside manner and
listening are important concerns for all patients, and BioFIT Medicines #1
philosophy is that Dr. Hoffarth is your guide, your advocate & your coach
to reach and maintain your lifetime goals. Finally, many patients dislike the
sterility of a traditional doctors office. BioFIT, set back amongst the beau-
tiful oak trees in Bee Cave, is a boutique-style practice, uniquely designed
so patients can relax in a Zen-like atmosphere. Call Sam at 512-297-2386 to
schedule an appointment. We accept a designated number of patients per
year to ensure quality over quantity.

Lakeway Dermatology
COMFORTABLE SETTING, personalized attention, advanced tech-
nology and training in a discreet relaxing environmentthe practice atLakeway Dermatology is different than most dermatology offices. We
believe that healthy skin leads to beautiful skin, and you can count on our
board certified dermatologists to help you achieve both.
Lakeway Dermatology opened its doors twelve years ago specializing in
skin cancer detection and treatment including Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Realizing the need for dermatologist supervised cosmetic treatments,
Lakeway Dermatology expanded to include a cosmetic and laser center.
Lakeway Dermatology is now offering an innovative way to address the
common signs of aging. Micro-needling, also called Collagen Induction
Therapy, provides a gentle, effective treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, loose
skin, acne scarring, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. During this pro-
cedure, tiny needles are used to create micro-injuries to the skin in order to
produce collagen and elastin. The skins repair process results in a thicker
dermis, and lines and wrinkles become less noticeable. The superficial micro-
channels also allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more
effectively. Micro-needling can be used on the entire body, and treatment
typically takes thirty minutes or less. The immediate effect after the treat
ment is a glow to the skin. In the six months following treatment, the skin
continues to improve as collagen production increases. Patients see an enor-
mous difference after just one session; however, optimal results are achieved
with a series of treatments spaced at six week intervals. Contact us to learn
more about this remarkable procedure and come experience rejuvenation
without surgical intervention at Lakeway Dermatology.

WHETHER YOU AREENTERTAININGguests this holiday or attend-
ing someone elses affair, theres a lot to think about. While its easy to
remember to get your hair and nails done, skincare is sometimes forgotten
Below are a few strategies to make sure you stand out like the North Star at
your big event:
Light reflects best off of a smooth surface. Over time, the surface of the skin
can become cluttered with dead skin cells
