   Glastonbury, Connecticut is one of the largest towns in the state. Top-rated schools, endless shops, and many small businesses make this town one of the most desirable places to live.

   I would like to tell you about a once-small business, which now has grown to five full-service salons in Connecticut: OGGI salons, the best salons and spas, now with locations in West Hartford (two salons), Avon, Hartford, and Glastonbury, at The Shops at Somerset Square.

 OGGI in Italian means Today. Its perfect name describes perfectly what you can expect there... At OGGI, the best Salons and spas, teams of stylists, aestheticians, and masseurs cater to their clients by consistently offering the highest quality of services and products in the area of hair care.

   Back in 1988, when The Shops at Somerset Square were developing, Lorenzo DiClementi, the owner of OGGI (the best  salon and spa), opened his third shop. At first, it was just a hair salon, but popularity and superior services brought many more clients. To accommodate this additional clientele, Lorenzo expanded the salon. Now, OGGI, the best salon and spa, in Glastonbury is 3,000 sq/ft, includes a team of 15 staff members, and has a full-service salon and spa.  So, come here and indulge yourself, with the best aesthetician. Or have your hair done by one of the best stylists I know. Or, make a perfect gift to your loved one, for an anniversary, birthday, or wedding day.

   Lorenzo’ design ideas are innovative. Every year, this successful entrepreneur travels back to Italy to attend the latest designer shows so he can bring back fresh ideas and products. In fact, Lorenzo was the hair designer who first introduced Tecna, the ammonia-free hair color, to the United States. He has been using it in all of his salons for the past ten years. Without exception, Lorenzo and his team strive to fulfill client’s needs. No matter what you are looking for, whether a new hair design (everything from treatments to hair extensions), or indulge indulgence with a massage, you will be satisfied with OGGI’s salon and spa, the best salons and spa, 100%. Take my word for it; I have been Lorenzo’s friend and a client for more than five years now.

   For a full menu, please call at OGGI, the best salon and spa, at (860) 657-4537. Friendly receptionist will help you with any questions you might have.

140 Glastonbury Blvd  #13, Glastonbury, CT 06033.

 Best Attorney at Law in South Windsor, Judith Paquin.

   Attorney Judy Paquin has been a solo, general practice attorney for over 20 years.  Her office is in South Windsor, 1738 Ellington Rd, (860) 644-3500, where she works with paralegal Tammy Rose Minnich, a South Windsor native.

   Attorney Paquin practices bankruptcy, family, probate and real estate law.  Attorney Paquin enjoys meeting new people and takes great satisfaction in helping out clients who find themselves in a difficult position.

   Bankruptcy and foreclosure are quite common these days unfortunately.  With so many finding themselves unemployed as companies cut back due to the economy, people are unable to afford the mortgages that they had grown accustomed to paying.  Most often in bankruptcy people are able to keep their house as long as they agree to continue to make mortgage payments.  More often than not people give up their “underwater” houses as part of their bankruptcy.  But this is a decision made by the client.  Most folks are also able to keep their cars but again some see the bankruptcy as a way to get out from under a car loan that is many thousands of dollars more than the value of the car.

   Many people are reluctant to look into a bankruptcy because of the “new laws” that were put into place in 2005.  Let Attorney Paquin help you to decide whether a bankruptcy is right for you. She is the best Attorney in South Windsor.

   Divorce cases are very common these days.  One statistic says that there are 70% of divorcing couples that are pro se, which means representing themselves.  Most people are in financial straits and are not able to afford to pay legal fees.  Please make this decision with caution as emotions obviously run high and many people will not be able to keep their emotions separate from the divorce action.  Attorney Paquin advises that you contact her regarding your divorce.  You may be able to agree to a mediated divorce which is much less costly than a traditional divorce.  Attorney Paquin also represents parties who have a need to modify their divorce terms.  Attorney Paquin also represents children and/or their parents in the juvenile court.

   Real estate transactions are usually exciting cases for the parties.  Buying one’s first home is a time of great happiness.  Once you have found the home of your dreams, contact Attorney Paquin to represent you in your real estate closing to be sure there are no mishaps.  Finding out that you have also “bought” someone else’s lien on the property can really take all of the fun out of the transaction.  Generally Attorney Paquin can put a closing together in a very few days.  Attorney Paquin will keep you informed every step of the way.

   Probate matters can be someone intimidating.  Whether it is focusing on the death of a loved one or perhaps the placement of a child, you need someone like Attorney Paquin to take you through the steps.  She can be there to assure you that all of the right steps are taken and the right forms are filed.

   Attorney Paquin is available to assist you in many other matters, be it a Power of Attorney, a Will, a criminal matter or a lease or other contract issue.  Attorney speaks to her clients and prospective clients in terms they can understand.  Attorney Paquin shies away from legalese; she wants to connect with people.  She wants her clients to be fully informed.

   Your first appointment is always free.  If you have an issue that Attorney Paquin is not able to handle for you, she will refer you to another, competent attorney.

   Her experience, her compassion and kindness, her knowledge of the law, her education and even her own life experiences make Attorney Paquin the local lawyer you should call with your issues. She is the best Attorney in South Windsor.

  Buying, or selling a home is very exciting process. You need to have an experienced agent on your side. Please feel free to contact Tatyana with any real estate questions call (860) 648-9270.

Yes, it is finally here!!! My all-you-can-eat chocolate day J  Happy Valentine’s day, Everybody! Thanks to my wonderful husband and my amazing sons, Nikita and Andrei,for lavishing chocolate candies and flowers on me!

"Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart."
Kay Knudsen

Saint Valentine's Day, better known as simply Valentine's Day, is the annual commemoration of love celebrated on February 14. Valentine's Day was created by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD to honor the Christian martyrs named Valentine. The religious observance of the day was deleted by Pope Paul VI from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 but is still often permitted. Valentine's Day was first related to romantic love by Geoffrey Chaucer during the Middle Ages. Until the 19th century handwritten valentines were often given rather than modern mass-produced greeting cards.

   Valentine's Day is often celebrated with expressions of love, and gifts of chocolates, flowers, and cards known as "valentines." Symbols of modern Valentine's Day include heart shapes, figures of winged Cupid, and doves.
