Recently, I saw an in depth news program about the bacteria and infections people got from unsanitary manicure and pedicure equipment. I am often asked by clients of mine how sanitary our facilities are. Be reassured that here at the Head Over Heels Day Spa, we take the utmost precautions to keep our equipment sterile and safe for you. We use the disinfectants that major hospitals use to sterilize operating rooms. In addition, our pedicure baths are rinsed and disinfected after every use and sent through a high-heat sterilization process every five uses. Never in the history of Head Over Heels Day Spa has a customer ever contracted an infection or a fungus from our equipment, and we guarantee that they never will.

She would later marry Oscar Chopin and become Kate Chopin, critically acclaimed and condemned author of two novels (At Fault and The Awakening) and many short stories. She was a beautiful, intelligent woman who was able to tell powerful stories about the lives of people in the nineteenth century.

Kate Chopin

...Kate Chopin In the late 1800’s marriage was known to be a male-dominated union. Women submitted to their men in all aspects of life, never speaking of the unhappiness that soon followed their marriages. Today society rarely speaks of discontent in the household, so writers express silent feelings through stories. Authors incorporate personal factuality or experience into the literary piece. In “The Storm”, author Kate Chopin, through character Calixta, relates marital problems, unsettled desires, companion necessities, and destiny to subdue persistent memories. Most evidently, Kate Chopin uses marital distress between Calixta and Bibinot to reflect on discreet complications throughout her own marriage. Critical author, Emily Toth states “Evidently no one described any marital discord in the Chopin household, but, then, Southerners rarely reveal secrets of the human heart to outsiders”(163). Like Calixta, obstacles were never noticeable, instead, shielded by temporary bliss. After Alcee offered Calixta a “sensual gift,” Bobinot offers her an equal gift but on that represents his different personality, “I brought you some shrimps, Calixta…Shrimps! Oh, Bobinot! You too good fo’ anything!...we’ll have feas’ to night!”(99). Here the audience understands voluntary submission. Though Bobinot “treated” her to intimate gifts rather than sexually stimulating ones, Calixta was perfectly content with Bobinots loving and devoted meaner. One apparent connection between Chopin and...

Kate Chopin

...Kate Chopin Catherine (Kate) O'Flaherty was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 8, 1850, the second child of Thomas O'Flaherty of County Galway, Ireland, and Eliza Faris of St. Louis. Kate's family on her mother's side was of French extraction, and Kate grew up speaking both French and English. She was bilingual and bicultural--feeling at home in different communities with quite different values--and the influence of French life and literature on her thinking is noticeable throughout her fiction. From 1855 to 1868 Kate attended the St. Louis Academy of the Sacred Heart, with one year at the Academy of the Visitation. As a girl, she was mentored by woman--by her mother, her grandmother, and her great grandmother, as well as by the Sacred Heart nuns. Kate formed deep bonds with her family members, with the sisters who taught her at school, and with her life-long friend Kitty Garasché. Much of the fiction Kate wrote as an adult draws on the nurturing she received from women as she was growing up. Her early life had a great deal of trauma. In 1855, her father was killed in a railroad accident. In 1863 her beloved French-speaking great grandmother died. Kate spent the Civil War in St. Louis, a city where residents supported both the Union and the Confederacy and where her family had slaves in the house. Her half brother enlisted in the Confederate army, was captured by Union forces, and died of typhoid fever. From 1867 to 1870 Kate kept a commonplace book in which she recorded...

Kate Middleton

...Cambridge, Kate Middleton has lived an extraordinary life. Today, I will tell you a little bit about her extraordinary life. I have thoroughly researched many important aspects of Kate’s life, from her childhood to her life as royalty. Today, I will tell you about her early childhood, relationship with William, and current life as Duchess of Cambridge. As I just mentioned I would like to tell you a little bit about Kate during her childhood years. Kate’s early childhood was quite different from the life that she lives today. Kate was born into an ordinary middle-class family and was the oldest of three children. Nicholas Kohler, in his article on Kate Middleton that appeared in Maclean’s on November 29th, 2010, tells us that Kate’s parent, Michael and Carole Middleton, met while working as flight attendants. In 1987, Carole Middleton launched a family business called Party Pieces when Kate was five years old. This successful business that sold children’s party gear made the Middleton family millionaires. The success of party pieces enables the Middleton’s to send their children to expensive boarding schools. Andrew Morton, in his book, William and Catherine: Their Story writes that Kate was bullied at Downs House, the all girls school she attended. According to the biography.com website, she continued to be bullied after she transferred to Marlborough College, where boys rated her a 2 out of 10 according to physical appearance. However, this did not hinder Kate from making...

Kate Chopin

...A Literary Analysis of “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin (1894) Cameron J. Garrett Colorado Christian University – English Composition June 11, 2011 The foundation of a great mystery story is the sudden and unexpected ending. One that drives you to question wither you missed the warning signs of what the future of the story holds. In “The Story of an Hour” (1894), Kate Chopin masterfully weaves us through many different emotions. Concern and sympathy develop as the story unfolds while the surprise ending makes for a great story. The story is built on the basis that Mrs. Mallard is not in good health. She is described as “afflicted with a heart trouble” (p. 259 ¶1). This leading statement instantly drives the reader to be concerned for Mrs. Mallard’s health. It also sets the stage for us to be compassionate for her loss during already difficulty times. As the story continues, the concern for Mrs. Mallard’s delicate state is further strengthened by who are relaying the information of Mr. Mallard to her. The presence of her sister Josephine and Mr. Mallard’s friend Richards show the level of support that Mrs. Mallard has from her friends and family. There is no evidence in the beginning that Mrs. Mallard is anything other than a grieving wife. Ms. Chopin further develops this as she describes Mrs. Mallard as “She wept at once, with sudden wild abandonment, in her sisters arms.” (p. 259 ¶3) We are further driven to believe that Mrs. Mallard is at a great loss...

Storm, Kate Chopin

...house gives Alcée and Calixta shelter during that storm and allows them to be together. The storm almost seems to have more of a presence than the house. One thing that stands out here, of course, is the fact that the storm is taking place during the important sexualized scene, keeping Alcée and Calixta within the house, and Bobinôt and Bibi outside of it. When the storm dissipates, Alcée and Calixta must go their separate ways, seemingly much richer for their encounter. When Bobinôt reenters his own home, he has no idea of the torrid encounter that just happened there. Clarisse, too, is removed from the main area of action – she's in another state. On a larger scale, the setting reminds us of the characters' places in the world. As the Kate Chopin International Society's site points out, there are some subtle class differences between the four main characters represented in "The Storm": Alcée and his wife Clarisse are Creoles, descendants of French settlers in Louisiana. Calixta and her husband Bobinôt are...
