Color is everywhere; It’s in the iris of your eyes, the hair on your head, the paint on the wall, and of course in your food. Nobody says it better than Skittles with their slogan “Taste the Rainbow”. Some may think they are only referring to their brightly colored candies, but maybe they had something else in mind! Color plays a large part of an every day life, but did you ever think about the impact those colors actually have on you? In this series of ‘color’ blogs, you’ll learn about all the colors of the rainbow…plus a few extras!
As everyone knows, the first color of the rainbow is red. Red is the brightest color with the longest (more…)

Ingrown Hairs…We all get them! But, we can also all prevent them!
An ingrown hair is when a hair grows sideways or curls back into the skin. If the pore the hair grows in is clogged or blocked the hair is forced to grow irregularly. They are most common in areas we shave or wax, and in people with curly hair. Some symptoms of an ingrown hair are itching skin, red bumps, small pus filled papules, and sometimes even a rash. Ingrown hairs can sometimes cause discomfort and can even lead to infections or scaring. If you see an ingrown hair, you can use a warm wash cloth on the area and tweeze it out. This may cause a slight discomfort, but you want the ingrown hair out so it won’t lead to infections.
None of us want any of these symptoms, so you may ask…How do we prevent these awful ingrown hairs? (more…)

Every winter my skin goes through the same cycle…the dreaded “Alligator Cycle”. The skin on my body gets so scaly that it looks and feels like alligator skin! Instead of shrugging my shoulders and just letting it go…I channel my inner Steve Irwin and TACKLE the alligator!
My favorite way to do it is with a Total Body Exfoliation…I just LOVE it! It sluffs off the old, dead skin cells and hydrates my skin at the same time. Plus, regular skin exfoliations speed up the skin renewal process allowing healthier skin cells to take their place. It is a great way to relieve stress, and encourages natural blood flow.
Salt scrubs are perfect for rough, coarse skin that needs a little extra love. Sugar scrubs are best for sensitive skin. Try adding a little aromatherapy oil to your scrub… (more…)

As adults we take great care in keeping children safe from harsh winter elements. Do we take the same care for ourselves? For most of us…probably not. We have many people that depend on us to be fully functioning, especially during cold and flu season. Most of us “know” how to bundle up, but here are a few suggestions that may make bundling up almost enjoyable!
One important choice in gearing up for winter is snow boots. I know, I know…they are cumbersome and messy, but necessary. Once trick I have learned over the years is to keep a pair of neutral colored shoes at work…that way I can head out the door in my boots and not worry about grabbing another pair of shoes to change in to. Hats and gloves are also important when gearing up for winter. 90% of our body heat escapes through our head and extremities. Keeping our head, feet, and hands covered is crucial. These items will allow your body to retain that ‘lost’ heat. Your body won’t have to work as hard to keep you warm. I have also found that in harsh weather, messy hair is acceptable…so long as it is due to “hat head”.
My favorite winter accessory… (more…)

Feeling stressed?
The holiday season is creeping up on us quick! This time of the year can cause a lot of stress.
While everyone knows that stress can take a toll on a person physically and psychologically, it also can lead to other problems, such as acne, brittle nails or even hair loss. When you become stressed, your cortisol level rises. This in turn causes an increase in oil production, which can lead to oily skin, acne and other related skin problems. Professionals have also found that stress has a negative effect on the barrier function of the skin, resulting in water loss that inhibits the skin’s ability to repair itself after an injury. Scientist’s and Doctor’s have said that skin rejuvenation procedures such as Facials, Pedicures, Massages, (more…)

Keeping up your ‘girlish’ figure sure can be hard, especially when the foods you thought were healthy really aren’t!
Some foods sound healthy, but can actually have the opposite effect on the body. Dried fruits, for example, sound like an easy healthy snack, but because they are dehydrated they are much more dense and 5-8 times the calories as fresh fruit, not to mention all the added sugars! Loaded with good for you nuts and oats, granola fools many people. With all of the added oil needed to make it crisp, and tons of sugar to make it taste good…one bowl can have up to 500 calories! Don’t let wraps fool you. When spread out some wraps can be almost a foot across and have up to 300 calories, not to mention that with the surface area being so much larger than 2 slices of bread you tend to spread on more dressing and mayo than a normal sandwich.

Are you going trick-or-treating this year? Maybe taking the kids trick-or-treating? Or perhaps just buying bags of candy for all the trick-or-treaters? You know you’re going to give in a little and have some of the candy you bought or earned walking with the kids to all the houses. If you are going to give in a little try giving in to something that’s going to help your skin… chocolate! That’s right, I said help, not hurt. The myths that chocolate causes breakouts are just that…myths! In fact chocolate, in moderation, has large powerful antioxidants in the cocoa (the main ingredient in chocolate). Cocoa is derived from cocoa beans. It contains 10,000mg of antioxidants per 100 g of cocoa. The antioxidant properties in cocoa can help prevent free radicals from damaging the elastin and collagen in the skin preventing wrinkles and discoloration.
Take into consideration the darker the chocolate the better. Dark chocolate also contains vitamins D and E which are great for your skin and body. In a study woman who took a ½ cup of cocoa with 329 milligrams of antioxidants a day for 12 weeks saw: (more…)

Flexibility… a lot of life’s schedule just doesn’t afford us such a comfort. We all, at some point, have wished that things in life could be more flexible.
I get it! I make it a priority to understand the value of flexibility when it comes to our clients.
I’ve thought long and hard about what clients have told me they want in their skincare and massage services! I’ve taken it to heart…and here are just a few of the flexible options that we offer:
- the flexibility of the services we offer! We are able to accommodate a multitude of skin issues, budgets and lifestyles!
-on-line booking… gives you a chance to book at your convenience!
-reminder calls the day before appointments…allows you to reschedule your appointment if “life” has gotten in the way again, and you are unable to make it. (more…)

With the cold and flu season upon us, we will all come in contact with some sort of virus. Ear candling is a way to help relieve sinus pressure, ear infections, sinusitis, headaches, and post nasal drip.
Ear candling is performed with the client lying on his or her side. A long hollow candle is inserted into the ear and then lit. The smoke of the candle is pulled down into the ear causing the ear to warm up and loosen the wax and other debris inside the eardrum. As the ear warms up, the candle will cause suction which creates a vacuum in the ear canal…that is how the toxins are removed from the inner ear and sinus canal. After the candle has burned the appropriate amount of time, it is removed from the ear. When you look inside the hollow candle…you can actually see the wax and toxins that were removed from your ear!
Ear Candling isn’t a treatment meant only for cold weather, best results are when it it’s performed every three months. It is quick, and painless…so why not call today to make your appointment!
