Stretching for Ease....
Flexibility is needed to perform day to day routines with ease. Flexibility diminishes with age especially with a sedentary lifestyle. You'll find in this article helpful ways to become and stay flexible.

Flexibilty is movement
The more often we stretch our bodies the less tension and stress there is in the body. We already know of several massage benefits and the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise. In a quick internet search there are many local yoga studios and online tutorials. Something to consider as well is our own daily routine of actives; our job, the type of exercise we do, and what areas of stress and tension we feel in our bodies. With this information we can select our stretching routine to reflect the opposite of what we do physically all the time. Daily stretching is wonderful, but how much time are we making for it? Here are a few tips to get more from our routine.

Here are some good considerations to prepare for the stretch:
  • Inhale and exhale deeply, for even lengths of time
  • Hold each stretch for 30 seconds to a minute
  • Make minor adjustments to your stretch as you feel the muscles release and lengthen
  • Keep your eyes open and focused four feet in front of you
  • View your whole self in the mirror in order to see your vertical and        horizontal line
  • Select several stretches and do two repetitions each; you might stretch further the second time around
  • Stand or sit on a yoga mat for a good non-slip grip
  • Stretch while also having a steady balance by engaging your core and lengthening your whole spine

For example: as a Massage Therapist I bend forward, tilting or twisting over my client as I work. By bending backward, extending my abdomen and contracting my lower back, I release the tension from all that forward bending and twisting. Two of my favorite stretches are the yoga camel pose and bow pose. 

Receiving a massage manipulates the muscles individually to stretch and lengthen the tissue which creates relaxation. I look forward to our next appointment!

Why should you get your brows waxed or shaped?

A benefit of brow waxing or shaping can do a number of things to your overall look, from instantly opening the entire eye area, to creating a well-groomed frame for the face.


Brow Shaping Know-How:
1. Locate Your Starting Points
Flip your tweezer upside down so the open end is pointing downward, and place it vertically alongside the outer edge of the bottom of your nose. The point where the vertex lands marks the beginning of your brow. Using an eye pencil, draw a vertical line to show the start of each brow, then check that the space above the bridge of your nose is centered between them. Remove the strays that fall in between.

2. Mark Your End Points
Lay the tweezer on an angle against your cheek so that the open end is at the bottom of your nose and the other end reaches the outer corner of your eye. The spot where the tweezer intersects your brow is where the hairs should end. Mark it with the eye pencil, then tweeze the hairs beyond the line.

3. Determine Your Brow Thickness
Starting just below the fullest part of your brow, use an eye pencil to draw a line along the bottom edge of your brow; it should be above any stray hairs and it should follow the natural shape of your brow's top line, which may be angled, slightly curved, or even straight. Tweeze the strays below the line. Your brows should be between a quarter inch and a half inch at their thickest.

4. Shape Your Arch
The arch of the brow should peak above the outer rim of your iris and lie right on your brow bone:  Mark the point with your eye pencil, then remove a row of hairs along the bottom, from your inner brow point to the peak point. After the peak, shape the tail.

How do your feet look?

Are you in need of a pedicure? You may be, more than you think!

Anyone that's had a pedicure knows that it feels amazing! The time spent on pampering the toes and legs is always welcomed. And a bonus, the polished toe nails make you look put together. Yes, they are relaxing, but there are physical benefits of having a pedicure too. With the average person taking 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day this can cause wear and tear on the feet that can be harmful if not maintained properly. All this walking can build up calluses, corns and blisters. Having calluses on your feet can cause uneven pressure when you walk or stand that can also lead to the pain you feel when on your feet all day.
Listed below are benefits of having a pedicure:  

1. Soaking:
Most pedicures start with a foot soak....This softens the skin and promotes circulation in your lower leg, ankle and foot while disinfecting your feet.  The increased circulation will reduce pain and swelling in your feet from sitting, standing and walking all day.  

2. Exfoliate the Feet:
Exfoliation, or removal of dead skin cells, prevents the cells from accumulating and causing calluses or corns, which can be uncomfortable and painful. The removal of the dead skin on your feet, especially on the heel, encourages new cell growth which creates smoother and more attractive feet. Regular pedicures keep corns and calluses at bay and keep feet smooth.


3. Preserves Skin's Moisture:
A pedicure includes a massage with oils or lotions that help preserve the moisture of your feet. Moisturized feet are less likely to get blisters, cracks or other foot problems. It is also important to keep your cuticles moisturized to prevent nails from growing out with ridges or split ends which can cause the nails to lift out of the nail beds.

4. Decreases Chances of Infections:
Clipping, cutting and cleaning of the toe nails prevents them from growing inward and causing infection. The elimination of dirt and bacteria from your feet will also help prevent nail diseases disorders (fungi) and foot odors. It is also important to keep toenails healthy because they protect toes from trauma.

5. Promotes Circulation:
The most enjoyable part of the spa pedicure is the massage. Massage helps promotes circulation and helps relieve tension in the calves and feet. Increase in blood circulation can reduce pain and brings oxygen to the tissues.

 Are you ready for summer dresses, shorts, skirts and swim suits? Essentially, are you sun kissed?
How does it work?
Using three organic tanning agents - Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) boosted by DMI & Erythulose - without any stains or dyes, Fake Bake works with your own unique skin tone to produce a naturally-based darker pigmentation on your skin's surface. By enhancing your skin's own pigments, Fake Bake will give you a natural-looking tan that lasts longer. Fake Bake also has a built-in color guide so you can see where you're applying the self-tanning product on your skin, ensuring streak-free application. Thus, you get a perfectly even golden bronze tan, every time.

How to prepare your skin?
Exfoliate the area using a loofah or a terry cloth towel prior to application. The tanning lotion will appear darker in dryer areas, ie. elbows, knees.

A Breakthrough in Anti-Aging! Featuring Apple Stem Cell Technology* The Face by Fake Bake Platinum contains premium DHA and Erythulose for longer lasting, natural looking results with the latest anti-aging ingredient - *PhytoCellTecTM Malus Domestica - created from stem cells extracted from the rare Swiss apple Uttwiler Spatlauber. With age, the number of skin stem cells decreases and their ability to maintain and repair the skin diminishes. Plant cells are totipotent, meaning that every cell has the ability to regenerate new organs. It is this characteristic that has been harnessed within The Face by Fake Bake Platinum to ensure the longevity of your skin stem cells, essentially delaying biological aging of your essential cells.* Long lasting self-tan * Gentle formula suitable for sensitive facial skin * Delays biological aging of essential cells * Preserves youthful look & skin vitality * Contains anti-aging peptides * Combats the effects of oxidants * Free from artificial preservatives
