Target Hair Thinning Where it Begins—at the Cellular Level

There are many products for hair thinning on the market, but they don’t all deliver on their promises. OneSkin’s OS-01 HAIR SCALP SERUM is backed by clinically validated longevity science, and proven to improve thickness and density with consistent use. 

Treatments like DHT blockers address pattern thinning, and minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp. But OS-01 HAIR is the only scalp formula to specifically address the dysfunctional senescent cells behind age-related hair thinning.

Powered by OneSkin’s proprietary OS-01 Peptide™, OS-01 HAIR SCALP SERUM targets the spread of senescent cells at the scalp, creating the optimal conditions for visibly fuller, healthier-looking hair.

Address hair thinning where it begins. Make OneSkin’s OS-01 HAIR part of your longevity stack, and optimize your hair health routine.

Cape May Goes Undead: Four Beachfront Bars Join Halloween Zombie Crawl

Halloween night is about to get a little more spirited in Cape May as the Beach Avenue Zombie Bar Crawl brings costumed revelers, seasonal drinks, and spooky fun to the city's oceanfront on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

From 5 to 10 p.m., Halloween enthusiasts are invited to dress in their best zombie costumes and make their way between four popular Cape May establishments for an evening of frightful festivities, drink specials, and coastal nightlife.

The Halloween celebration brings together The Inn of Cape May, Carney's Restaurant & Bar, Barefoot Bar & Restaurant, and The Bees Knees Kitchen & Speakeasy Bar, all located within easy walking distance along the beachfront.

Whether participants arrive as terrifying zombies, classic Halloween monsters, or creatively costumed characters, the event offers a festive opportunity to celebrate Halloween while exploring Cape May's dining and nightlife scene. The crawl features four participating venues across three locations, allowing guests to move between establishments while enjoying the Halloween atmosphere.

The historic Inn of Cape May, located at 7 Ocean Street, provides a Victorian setting for the festivities. Situated near the corner of Ocean Street and Beach Avenue, the landmark hotel offers guests an opportunity to enjoy dinner or drinks before continuing their Halloween adventure.

Just down the beachfront, Carney's Restaurant & Bar, at 411 Beach Avenue, will join the celebration. Known for its lively atmosphere, Carney's provides another stop for costumed visitors looking to enjoy Halloween along the oceanfront.

Two additional participating venues are located at the Marquis de Lafayette Hotel at 501 Beach Avenue.

Barefoot Bar & Restaurant offers a casual beachfront setting, while The Bees Knees Kitchen & Speakeasy Bar provides a more intimate atmosphere. Together, the two establishments round out the four-stop Halloween crawl.

The Beach Avenue Zombie Bar Crawl encourages participants to embrace the Halloween spirit with creative costumes, zombie makeup, and a night out with friends.

With all four venues clustered along Beach Avenue, visitors can explore the participating establishments on foot while enjoying the crisp autumn air and Cape May's distinctive seaside atmosphere.

The event also provides an opportunity to turn Halloween night into a weekend getaway. Visitors can explore the city's restaurants, historic accommodations, and oceanfront attractions before joining the evening festivities.

Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes, dress for cooler coastal temperatures, and arrange safe transportation if they plan to enjoy alcoholic beverages.
