Wanda and her husband Chris moved here in 2003 from Rockland.  They hand an incredibly beautiful place in Maine but, "The winters would Never END!"  She couldn't stand the cold anymore so, one day she got on her computer and found "Round Town,"  also known as Rotonda. On her first road-trip she discovered how cheap the land was, (This was 2003!).  She finally convinced Chris to check it out & the rest is history! She wanted to continue her skincare practice, and opened Ocean Aesthetics right away. She found a cozy little spot at Seafoam village that was a great place to restart her business, (Which she recently moved to Heron Plaza, right here in Englewood on S. McCall, and she loves the new location!!!)  Ocean Aesthetics offers electrolysis, clinical skincare, permanent make-up & massage. (For more info call 941-475-1111.)
