The Car Center

Need a dependable company to repair your car after an accident? Need a windshield replaced or repaired? The Car Center, at 13399 White Creek, has you covered. Bill and Nick Edwards, owners of The Car Center in Greenville, opened up the Cedar Springs location in May, in the building formerly occupied by Cedar Body Shop.

The Car Center offers full service collision repair, and glass repair and replacement (on site or mobile).

“We have been serving the Greenville area for over 20 years, and are proud to now have a location so our customers can be serviced closer to home,” explained Bill. “We offer customer service unlike any competitor.”

He also noted that their technicians are the best in the industry. “Fixing cars is our job, but helping people is our business,” he said.

He said they hope to continue to grow and serve the Cedar Springs and surrounding areas.

They are open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment. Call (616) 696-1830.

(Family Features) The holidays are filled with occasions to see loved ones, relatives and old friends. With plenty of holiday parties and photo opportunities, you want to look your best even if you don’t have hours to spend at the salon.
Style expert Lilliana Vazquez of CheapChicas.com offers some helpful tips on how to look sensational without breaking the budget:
Keep skin moisturized. With the dry winter air, make sure to keep your skin moisturized, especially when you’re showing more skin in cocktail dresses. One of Lilliana’s favorite inexpensive tricks that works wonders is coconut oil. It absorbs quickly into skin and smells amazing. You can also use it in your hair as a leave-in conditioner.
Add a splash of berry. There have been tons of berry tones on the runways, and one easy way to work them into your wardrobe is on your lips. A raspberry or burgundy shade is the perfect way to boost your holiday look. Make sure to keep lips moisturized before you apply. Try a sugar scrub or rich balm to keep your pout kissable.
Stay Smooth. One thing you want to avoid before you step under the mistletoe is unwanted facial hair. Make sure your face is smooth and photo-ready by using a depilatory or wax. “I love Nair products because they’re effective and easy on the wallet,” said Vazquez. “Try the Nair Precision Face & Upper Lip Kit that comes with a special rebalancing moisturizer so it’s gentle on your skin.” Learn more at www.NairLikeNeverBefore.com.
Show off your face. Don’t worry if you don’t have time for a blowout hairstyle. One of the chicest holiday looks is a chignon, which pairs perfectly with metallic-shaded eyes and strong lips that are hot this season. Try a low bun off to one side for a look that keeps the emphasis on you.
There you have it—some easy ways to look your holiday best without spending a lot of time or money. Now, that’s something to be merry about.
