			<p>Straddling the city-county border, Overlea combines suburban comforts, space, and greenery with city living, including a Main Street feel on Belair Road. This community, grounded in a proud multigenerational residential heritage for many families, is conveniently just inside the Beltway and supported by MTA bus lines moving to and from White Marsh and downtown Baltimore. Housing options are wide-ranging, with regal Victorians, Cape Cods, newer mid-century builds, and more.</p>

			<p>“My parents moved here in 1955 from Bayonne Avenue in [nearby] Raspeburg with four kids—I was the bonus baby. I was born and raised on Manor Avenue and went on and had kids and a husband. The house I live in now we bought in 1991 and it’s one street over from where I grew up.</p>
<p>“You know, I could be at the age where we could be looking at [a retirement community] and all of that. But it’s so heartwarming to be able to go out onto your porch and talk to your neighbors and they know you and you know them. It’s really very much a community. I just love knowing people here. They’re my neighbors.</p>
<p>“We love Overlea and we want people to know about it. That has been our mission for more than 15 years, [to share] that this is a great place to come and live and know your neighbors.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer is here! It’s the season of bathing suits, T-shirts, and shorts. But for many, unwanted hair—be it on the arms, back, bikini area, or elsewhere—may be taking the fun out of “fun in the sun.” If you’ve been thinking about laser hair removal but have been skeptical about giving it a try, there’s no better time to book your free consultation.</p>
<p><strong>What to Expect at Your First Appointment</strong></p>
<p>Wondering what to expect when you begin your hair removal journey? Don’t be! At the Baltimore locations of <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>Milan Laser Hair Removal</u></a>, the nation’s largest laser hair removal company, your experience begins with a free consultation to understand your hair-free goals. Most Milan Laser clients require <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>seven to 10 sessions to be 95%+ hair-free</u></a>. The treatments are so quick you can squeeze them into your lunch hour. And best of all, laser hair removal is <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/areas/darkskin/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>safe</u></a> <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/areas/darkskin/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>and effective for men and women of all skin tones</u></a>!</p>
<p>If you’ve never experienced a <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/process/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>laser hair removal treatment</u></a>, it’s far more comfortable than waxing. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap, and Milan Laser’s state-of-the-art laser uses cooling technology to decrease potential discomfort.</p>

<p><strong>How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal</strong></p>
<p>Laser hair removal is easy and effective, and <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/areas/darkskin/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>it’s safe for all skin tones</u></a> and all genders! But laser hair removal requires some <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/process/faqs/?utm_source=baltimore_magazine&amp;utm_medium=advertorial&amp;utm_campaign=baltimore_june_2023"><u>preparation and guidelines</u></a>.</p>
<p><em>Avoid sun exposure and sunless tanning. </em>Your skin must be its natural tone to start and maintain treatments, so if you’re regularly out in the sun, cover up and wear sunscreen.</p>
<p><em>Shave the day of your appointment. </em>Shave the treatment area the day of or before your treatment to ensure the laser can effectively target the hair follicle.</p>
<p><em>Clean skin before arrival. </em>No makeup, deodorant, lotion, or perfume in the treated area at your appointments.</p>
<p><em>Disclose tattoos</em>. Tattooed areas, even with removed tattoos, must be avoided, so let your provider know about any current or former ink before treatment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why fall is <em>the</em> season for laser hair removal</strong></p>
<p>If you’ve been wondering about laser hair removal but weren’t sure if the time was right, let the experts at <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/?utm_source=baltimore_mag&amp;utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_id=baltimore_mag_advertorial_fall_2022">Milan Laser Hair Removal in Baltimore</a> help! Even though you’ve packed away your bathing suits and tank tops, these cooler months are the best time to invest in permanent results, the ultimate act of self-care to combat the seasonal doldrums.</p>
<p><strong>Why Now?</strong><br />
Remember that lovely summer sun-kissed glow that’s now fading? That’s one reason fall is a good time to start laser hair removal. Advances in technology have made laser hair removal safe for <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/areas/darkskin/?utm_source=baltimore_mag&amp;utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_id=baltimore_mag_advertorial_fall_2022">all skin tones</a>, but skin still needs to be its natural base tone to avoid complications. For this same reason, don’t use self-tanner products prior to treatment. So don’t despair that your tan lines are disappearing—that just means now is a great opportunity to have smooth skin in time for next summer!</p>
<p><a href="https://bmag.co/4sm"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-128227" src="https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" srcset="https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2.jpg 2200w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2-1200x797.jpg 1200w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2-2048x1360.jpg 2048w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltimore-2-480x319.jpg 480w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Seasonal Timing</strong><br />
Speaking of summer, it may seem miles away but it will be here before you know it. Will your skin be bathing-suit-ready? Places like <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/?utm_source=baltimore_mag&amp;utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_id=baltimore_mag_advertorial_fall_2022">Milan Laser Hair Removal</a> offer permanent results and procedures so quick you can squeeze them into your lunch hour. Still, after the first treatment, most clients require <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/process/?utm_source=baltimore_mag&amp;utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_id=baltimore_mag_advertorial_fall_2022">seven to 10 sessions of laser hair removal</a> to be hair-free. Now, while you’re sporting stylish long pants and warm coats, is the perfect time to embark on this procedure. And you can still shave while undergoing treatment— just don’t wax, pluck, or thread. By starting your hair-free journey in autumn, you can have smooth skin by springtime.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://bmag.co/4sm"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-128225" src="https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="557" srcset="https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4.jpg 2200w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4-1200x743.jpg 1200w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4-768x475.jpg 768w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4-1536x951.jpg 1536w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4-2048x1268.jpg 2048w, https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Baltoimore-4-480x297.jpg 480w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Time is of the Essence</strong><br />
Good timing isn’t just about the seasons of the year, it is about the seasons of our lives. While your skin must be its natural tone to safely reap the benefits of laser hair removal, <a href="https://milanlaserbaltimore.com/process/faqs/?utm_source=baltimore_mag&amp;utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_id=baltimore_mag_advertorial_fall_2022">naturally gray hair is a no-go</a>. That’s because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle to destroy it permanently. If there isn’t enough pigment in the hair, the laser has nothing to target. If laser hair removal is something you’ve been considering, start now before those tricky gray hairs show up like uninvited guests.</p>

			<p><strong>FEET FIRST</strong>: My wife and I have a very eclectic, hodgepodge type style. I’m pretty handy and really not scared to jump into things. A lot of it is repurposing things and tinkering with weird old stuff to make it look cool. </p>
<p><strong>BREAK THE BANK</strong>: Overall, the finished counter top is about $70 worth of pennies. Some of the pennies I had accumulated in jars and things over the years, but I did need to go to the bank for more. After some weird looks upon requesting $25 worth of pennies, I finally told the people working there that I was using them for my counter. I went back a couple different times to get more pennies and they would recognize me as the “guy with the penny counter,” and I would update them on how it was going and show pictures. </p>
<p><strong>HUMBLE BEGINNINGS</strong>: The original counter was just one of those average laminate nothing counters, and it was pretty ugly, so I just used it as the base. </p>
<p><strong>IN THE MAKING</strong>: I worked from the back, laying down lines of super glue and placing each penny down as I slowly worked forward. When I would get to corners or edges that were only able to fit half the width of a penny, I would use metal snips and snip the pennies to fit for a clean look. </p>
<p><strong>SHINE ON</strong>: Once I had all the pennies down, I took ketchup and spread it over the entire surface because the acid in ketchup cleans copper. I let it sit for 15-30 minutes before rubbing it all off, which made the pennies nice and shiny. </p>
<p><strong>FINISHING TOUCH</strong>: I used black grout in between the pennies and then a polyester resin that locks everything down so you don’t get stains or crumbs in the grout and makes sure the surface is hard and level. </p>
<p><strong>POP OF COLOR</strong>: I added the blue ceramic tiles to the room because they have kind of an arabesque lantern design that I thought paired nicely with the pattern of the pennies. I like the way the copper plays off the blue. They’re sort of like complementary colors, so it makes it really eye-catching and colorful. </p>
<p><strong>COIN IT</strong>: The image hanging is a close-up macro shot of a penny that is rusting. I shoot old coins, and I did a series of close-ups of coins that were beaten up and looked scarred and scratched. I chose to hang it there to kind of tie everything together.</p>
