Dr. Walter Tom of Dr. Tom Cosmetic Surgery talks with KSRO's Michelle Marques and Paris, patient coordinator and director of product education, about Michelle's experience getting a hydrafacial. Dr. Tom characterizes Michelle as a 'bohemian' who is less concerned with complicated skin regimens. Michelle describes the experience, which involved multiple steps, and the care that medical aesthetician Hilary Bucher took with each step. Some of the things Michelle experienced included cleansing, light peels, deep cleansing with the suction tool as well as simultaneous hydration, a soothing mask with LED lights, and a relaxing facial massage. She absolutely loved the experience and felt pampered and glowing after it was done! Michelle also decided to buy some of Dr. Tom's Quench serum to include in her skin care routine, and told Dr. Tom she will try to avoid using bar soap to clean her face, after Paris and Dr. Tom explained why is it not ideal for the delicate skin of the face.

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Ryan Zepaltas, GM and Winemaker for Copain Wines. Ryan was determined to be a professional skateboarder at a young age, and stayed with his cool aunt in Sonoma County to be closer to the thriving skateboarding scene in the Bay Area as a young man. To make money while finessing his skills, he worked at La Crema during harvest and got hooked! He went to work a harvest in New Zealand, and returned to continue working at La Crema before joining the team at Siduri. He was encouraged to also work on his own label while making wine with at Siduri and developed his own style. In 2018, Ryan became the winemaker at Copain Wines, focusing on vineyard designate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. He also loves to make special blends that are like "wrapping your arms around Sonoma County." And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.

Host Clark Wolf talks with Albert Straus, founder of Straus Family Creamery, and Chef Duskie Estes, co-owner of Black Pig Meat Co. about all things local and sustainable animal and dairy farming, and a new measure regarding so-called 'factory farms.' Measure J, written by Members of the Coalition to End Factory Farming (closely associated with the animal liberation group Direct Action Everywhere, some of whom have been arrested for trespassing at local poultry farms), takes aim at “concentrated animal feeding operations,” or CAFOs. In the wording included in this measure, that means that companies like Straus Family Creamery, Clover Sonoma, Petaluma Poultry and many multi-generational dairy farms in Sonoma County would be forced to close. None of the members on the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors support Measure J, nor does the Sonoma County Farm Bureau. If successful, the animal welfare coalition behind the measure will in essence force local dairy and meat producers out of business, drastically changing the food landscape in Sonoma County.

Host Michelle Marques talks with Jill Davidson, Executive Director of Plumfield Academy, a therapeutic school in Sonoma County. Jill shares the history of the school, which is celebrating it's 60th year in 2024, as well as the role a therapeutic school plays in our educational system.
