Those who view Fallbrook and Bonsall as towns where residents are most comfortable in casual clothing may be amused to hear that back in the 1880s, a highly desirable fashion accessory was cultivated here and shipped internationally.

Craig Lozzi, Transcendent Touch Special to the Village News In the early 1970s, I was excited to study the human body and healing techniques that explored the relationship between the emotions and the body.
