Lifestyle lift busted for internet fraud

Lifestyle lift agreed to pay $300,000 in penalties to New York State and admitted to publishing fake posts to internet boards with positive reviews about their services. They acted as phony patients in order to bolster the reputation of the company which has had questionable marketing practices.
“This company’s attempt to generate business by duping consumers was cynical, manipulative and illegal,” says Andrew Cuomo, New York's Attorney General.
The lifestyle lift is a mini-facelift performed in about an hour, quicker than a standard facelift.  But it has been criticized because speed rarely is equivalent to excellent results in the world of surgery.

The Fresh Air Fund

 

Another departure from plastic matters (and we need it sometimes), the Fresh Air Fund is a great cause that supports low-income New York City children for summer vacations. This year you can support their NYC half-marathon racers at the link above.

From www.freshair.org:

"Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities. Last summer, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. Most children who visit host families are re-invited year after year and form life-long friendships. "
