Summer News

Dear Clients,

Well it doesn't seem possible but summer is almost over! I hope you've all stayed cool with the scorching days we've had this July. And I KNOW you've all been diligent about wearing sunscreen, right? We'll talk more about that later in the news letter. Lots of things are happening so let's get right to it, shall we?

*: I have found my new space and I'm very excited for you to see it! I am now sharing a lovely cottage at 235 SE Davis Avenue with one of Central Oregon's most well respected Acupuncturists, Wendy Daniels, L.Ac., MTCM. Wendy is fabulous and I look forward to having you meet her sometime when you're in. Her practice is called Ancient Traditions. It's a very convenient location. Just take 3rd St. south. Cross over Franklin, go under the train trestle and take the first right after the underpass. The cottage is burnt orange and has a few Chinese lanterns on the porch and is the second on the left. Or if you're coming from the Parkway, take the Colorado St. exit, turn left onto Colorado, go over the train tracks and it's the second left, third house on the right. My phone number will remain 541-390-3338. I'll be sending out announcements with a map and I'm planning an Open House sometime this fall. So, those of you who thought your next treatment was going to be on a bench in Drake Park, well, sorry to disappoint you. However, I promise you'll love the new space and we won't be disturbing the geese!


**: Most of you know that this past July 9th I turned 50. I know, I know, it IS hard to believe that I've been around a half a century! Fortunately I don't feel a day over 49! Having a 9 year old helps keep me young! Anyway, Eric, my wonderful husband, has outdone himself with my birthday gift and is taking me to Italy for the month of August. I tell you this not just to brag about my thoughtful and romantic 'spice', but to let you know that I will not be seeing any clients in August. So if you think you'll be needing any products before the end of August, please call me and come in before August 1st. And while I'll miss you all terribly, I---AM---OUTTA-----HERE August 1st ~~~ August 28th! I'm looking forward to comparring travel stories with Katie R. and Kirsten M. who have also been to Italy recently. CIAO! And speaking of world travels, Kathy and Ellie Moore will be spending the next 5 months in Australia. Best wishes to you both for Ellie's surgery and Kathy and Tom's new baby due in October!


***: With the new space, I am adding a few new treatments that I know you'll love. The first is an anti-fatigue leg treatment called 'Jambes Tonique', which provides amazing relief after a tiring day, summer heat, etc. This is a 45 minute, very successful treatment for painful, heavy, tired legs. Cost for this treatment is $75.00. The second addition to the menu is for the hands called Beaute' Des Mains. This is a 30 minute , total renewal program which uses the 3 in 1 facial standard for the hands with splendid visible results. Cost is $40.00. The third new menu item is the Hydralessence Back Facial. The treatment time is 45 minutes for this detoxifying/hydrating experience with the results of not only silky skin but intense stress relief for the body, mind and spirit. This is an especially wonderful treatment if you suffer from back acne and it's great for guys who get regular back waxes. Cost is $80.00. Make an appointment to experience all three of these luxurious treatments! (After August 28th!)


****: As you know, the cost of providing services as well as the cost of living continues to rise. I have not increased my facial treatment fees or most waxing fees since June of 2005. The new menu, which will include the 3 new treatments, will reflect the new fees and will be approximately 3-7 % per service. I sincerely value each and everyone of my clients and appreciate the opportunity to provide you with the very best skin care possible while remaining below average cost of the majority of my colleagues. Thank you for your understanding.


*****: And now...........A few words about Sun Protection~~I have put together a "Sun Smart" Guide which is available at the Spa. If you'd like one e-mailed to you, just let me know and I'll be happy to do that for you. A couple of important things to remember is this: 90% of aging is caused by the sun. Clouds do not screen you from the sun's harmful rays. Langerhans cells are part of the body's defense system against fungus, viruses, bacteria and precancerous cells and are destroyed by the sun. More Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer every year than all other types of cancer combined. Skin cancer is preventable and curable, if caught early.
~~~~Did you know that YonKa makes a fabulous serum called "Halo 70" ($39) that is a natural tint? Just add a few drops to your own moisturizer for a shade that's perfect for you. The results are extraordinary with the benefits of YonKa's rich botanicals without the heavy pore-clogging qualities of foundation.
~~~~If you want that all-over sun-kissed glow, try YonKa's "Auto-Bronzant" ($34) which will provide color as well as all the daily nutrients your skin requires.







Need a break from the summer heat with a little liquid refreshment? Check out the newly remodeled JC's on Franklin and the Wild Fire Brew!



Do you need a new nail salon? I've been seeing Christine Parker and she's awesome!! Give her a call: 541-382-7767.




I hope the rest of your summer is safe and happy. I'll send some "Italy" pictures when we get back! I'll look forward to seeing you all soon and please schedule an appointment so you can see my new place!



Fondly,

Debra
