Beauty and Giving

~ True Beauty ~

What is Beautiful to YOU?
A song, a poem, a piece of artwork, a friend, a child, the ocean, a sunset, a flower, a car, a color, a place, a memory, a smell, a touch, the voice of an old friend, a picture in a magazine, an outfit or a hairstyle?
How about giving to someone else?

A dear friend told me, “Looks don’t last in the end, they fade over time. It is what is in your Heart that stands the test of time – that is what lasts Forever.”

He is right! I work with beauty all day. I touch a lot of beautiful people. Many of them have so much beauty inside them, they just can’t see it for themselves…

Giving to someone else, with all your Heart, without expecting anything in return…
that is “True Beauty.”
The act of selfless Giving that comes from Pure Love, is how we not only find the beauty in others, but we realize the beauty in ourselves.

So make a point of doing for someone else each day. Even just a smile to a stranger works! You will be surprised at how great it makes you feel and how beautiful people will say you are…

"Look Good... Feel Better" for the American Cancer Society

We are official! Certified to teach the
ACS's "Look Good... Feel Better" program
to all women going through cancer treatments.
Giving Love, Showing Support and Encouraging Hope!

Patients in various stages of treatment receive make-over tips and personal attention from professionals trained to meet their needs. They also use and take home complimentary cosmetic kits in their appropriate skin tones (light, medium, dark, extra dark) with helpful instruction booklets. Professional advice is provided on wigs, scarves and accessories. More than 50,000 individuals participate each year in small groups of five to ten, offering each patient a supportive circle, as well.

By encouraging your friend or family member to attend a Look Good…Feel Better group program, you help promote an important tool for coping. A recent study showed that only a small percentage of female patients knew about or attended any type of support program. Instead, patients said they relied on the advice of family and friends to deal with these concerns. So what can you do for a woman close to you who is experiencing the appearance-related side effects of cancer?

MAY is Skin Cancer AWARENESS Month

Sunscreen & Protective clothing is the KEY to preventing skin cancer.

After my Aunt passed away from a small mole on the top of her scalp that started as skin cancer and turned into bone and brain cancer, I decided I needed to spread the word on this silent but deadly disease.

My aunt was Irish through and through, very light skin. She loved golf and played whenever she got the chance. She always wore sunscreen and a visor but not a full hat. My aunt passed away four years after her hairstylist discovered a raised mole that suddenly appearance in her hair on her scalp.

Awareness and education is key to prevention. For the month of MAY we are advocating Skin Cancer Prevention at the spa. All clients will receive a samples of EPICUREN's sunscreen & a lip balm as well as a thought of the day card with reminders on checking for skin cancer.

Even though, we all love a great tan... remember the environment is changing and that tan could be dangerous. For more information go to www.skincancer.org.

Have a great month and help me spread the word...
