“This is the first time I write a review. I simply had to! The service was excellent! I recently got my lashes done for graduation and they came out perfect. I love them, they look so natural which it was one of my concerns that they were not going to look natural but they really do! The price is totally worth it. Awura-Abena was wonderful and even decided to see me after business hours. She was so professional and helped me a lot by staying extra time to attend me. I 100% recommend this place and I would say it is one of the best places here in Ithaca.”

“I am very pleased with my color and cut. I have also been receiving lots of compliments on my 'do! Pleasant setting, convenient location. Excellent all around!”

One of the best holidays in the summertime is the 4th of July! While we celebrate our nation’s birthday, we participate in fun outdoor activities such as grilling, swimming, camping and of course, setting off fireworks! While having fun on the 4th, people need to be proactive when it comes to safety so everyone will be able to enjoy all the summer festivities while remaining safe and sound.

Here are some suggestions to keep this holiday a safe one:

Fireworks Precaution: There have been many accidents at family gatherings that occur due to people not handling fireworks properly. Avoid potentially serious injuries by following these simple but important steps:

• Always store fireworks in a cool, dry place

• Never allow children to handle fireworks or light them, especially sparklers

• Follow the instructions on packaging and discard fireworks after use

• Keep a garden hose or multiple gallons of water nearby just in case

• Always point fireworks away from you as you light them

• Never aim fireworks toward people, pets, vehicles, trees or houses

• Light and discharge fireworks in an area away from buildings and flammable materials

Swimming Safety: Whether in a pool, in the ocean or at a lake, remember these simple tips:

• Only swim where there’s a lifeguard present

•  Always swim in a designated swimming area

• Stay alert and check weather conditions via weather apps before entering any body of water

• Don’t drink alcohol or ingest medication before you swim

• Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear a life vest

• NEVER dive headfirst into shallow water or into water where you think it’s deep enough

• Always supervise children while they’re swimming in the water

Safety When Grilling: Grilling is a favorite American pastime, but it can quickly turn into an unsafe situation with mishaps such as burns to people or pets and fires in yards, homes or parks. Follow these precautions to avoid injuries to family members and damage to your home:

• NEVER leave a grill unattended when in use

•  Make sure to always grill in an open outdoor area

• Make sure everyone - including pets - keeps a safe distance from the grill

• Use long-handled tools especially made for use on grills to keep the chef safe

•  Be sure to check that the coals are completely cooled down before leaving the grill unattended

Keep your Independence Day celebrations fun and safe by following these tips and enjoy this special holiday with your family and friends!
