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...

NEWS for the NEW YEAR - 2009!
Some great ideas to jump start your own beauty for the new year = New YOU!
Lets GO GREEN and get NATURAL!
Great new find: You have heard of REVITALASH... now the new ALL NATURAL Version.
LASH FOOD! I have used it myself and I'm addicted! Give it 3 weeks and you can use this day and night! Your lashes will curl and lengthen.
One piece of DARK cocoa... a day, it's good for YOU!
Try a regular massage - you don't realize how much tension and stress your body holds.
Instead of surgery, try an acupressure & oxygen facial first. The combo of these two treatments leaves your skin toned, tight and glowing. Turns the clock back for a while. With regular treatments, your skin can see a lasting change.
Use a hydrating night treatment for your skin. At night is when your skin regenerates itself so at least moisturize at night. It will keep you looking young.
Replace soda for water and hydrate!!! Your skin will notice the difference.
Try natural nails and a super shine buff instead of polish. Good for your nails and lasts even longer than polish.
Try YOGA... Saturday, January 24th is National Yoga Day. Alot of places are doing free classes - great time to try!
Smile everyday!

Labor Day ALREADY?!?
So the kids are back at school, no more vacations for awhile.
You are happy, sad, disappointed or exhausted. Now it's time to make time for YOU!
Start taking 15 minutes a day for you... minimum!
Watch a great show (if you tivo a 30 minute show you can watch it in 15 min).
Start a great book.
Water and weed your garden.
Close your eyes and power nap.
Whatever it is, you need to connect with yourself. The fall is the time to get back into a comfortable routine and recharge.
Start your ANTI-AGING routine:
1. Book regular facials every 4-8 weeks. Not only for the cleansing but for the relaxation.
2. Start cleaning your face at night - WITHOUT FAIL and follow with products. The night is when your skin regenerates and replenishes. It is most important to get into a routine to treat your skin before bed.
3. Find a hobby, something just for you. Stimulation and Fulfillment are the BEST anti-agers.
4. Eat breakfast every morning and small meals throughout the day.
5. Exercise at something each day.
6. Smile at as many people as you can a day!
Remember, no matter how bad you think you look or feel - you are USUALLY wrong.
Cut yourself some slack and ENJOY! We are ALL BEAUTY-FULL!

It's JULY - Get yourself SUMMER ready!!!
Sun safety is most important! Anyone over 30 knows one day you wake up and there are spots on your face that have NEVER been there before. SUN DAMAGE.
Best defense is all natural or organic sunblock - the basic ingredients no reactions = ZINC and or TITANIUM DIOXIDE.
Green is in and this summer is HOT! Here in Los Angeles, we are having a scorcher and it is only JULY! Yikes...
Make sure you stay Hydrated so your skin will glow... regular facials and at home exfoliation is the key to beautiful smooth skin. Also make sure to wash your face before working out = less BREAKOUTS.
With GREEN comes ORGANIC. Try natural lipsticks and lipgloss for the summer... light and no worries about how much of it we eat... yuck!
If you have a big event coming up - instead of hitting the tanning booth - try an airbrushed full body tan. When my husband and I go to Hawaii we tan each other before leaving. We start with the color we leave with. The tan fades within 5-10 days and the natural color replaces it and before we come home we are still the same color! And all our photos look great because we are TAN! Much healthier alternative!
Bottom line = great skin means good skincare, sunscreen protection and good habits. Have a BLAST this summer and don't worry about SEPT yet... ENJOY!

GREAT FINDS for SPRING & SUMMER!
I have been searching for new products to compliment my new location and in my journeys I have come across some great MUST HAVES for your makeup bags!
Mascara - COVER GIRL - Lash Blast (best new mascara by far! and it keeps popping up in the celebrity m/u bags I am working with too!)
Lip gloss: LOREAL 6 hour infallible gloss - this really lasts until lunch! YOU will be amazed!
Longer Lashes: Extensions or lash primer! This works great by coating the natural lashes so when followed with mascara you are thicker and longer. Lash fibers are great also. Just remember to apply a coat of mascara FIRST and follow with fibers not at base but from 1/2 up last to tip. Then coat with second wipe of mascara and MAGIC!
SUNSCREEN: Go Green and Go organic! All natural sunscreen works better than chemicals and no reaction or clogged pores. Try mineral makeup as a final set and sunscreen protection in your makeup routine. Before finishing grab a mineral makeup with SPF and lightly brush all over your face and chest to protect and set!
BREAKOUTS: Best best for last minute breakouts is sulfur lotion... try my favorite BYE, BYE BLEMISH. As soon as you feel or see the red lump, place on 2-3 nights and it will go away! No woman should be without this product!
TEA for BEAUTY: Drink your way to great skin, rest and beauty! This tea is great!
Yummy ingredients, all natural and made to make you beautiful from the inside out. Great hot or cold! Try Sipping Beauty, if you love tea - you'll love this!
