Bioessence is a box-office debutante on its 18th Anniversary

Last October 31, we celebrated with friends and fellow bloggers Bioessence's momentous event - its 18th anniversary. It was nice to see a theater full of customers, doctors, therapists and even Bioessence ambassadors to mark its 18 years in the business.

Alright, you might think this is some promotional blog or whatever but it is and it is not at the same time. It is because it is a blog and I am going to promote my experience in a restaurant where my family and I ate. It is not because I am not paid or invited to go to this restaurant to blog about them.
