No matter how hard we tried to keep things under control, most of us have probably put on a few pounds over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's hard to resist a second helping of stuffing, or a bigger piece of pie, right?
Now's the time to get back on track! Don't let a couple of days of weakness get you down.
One way to do that is to try a new workout routine, such as the amazing home exercise videos available from Team Beach Body! The top selling workouts are on sale today! My personal favorite, TurboFire, is just $53 during this Cyber Monday Sale.

Are Paraffin Treatments Sanitary?
Have you ever wondered if paraffin treatments are sanitary? You may be leery of dipping your hands into hot wax that all of our other clients have dipped in. Rest assured, it is a safe and sanitary treatment. Medical professionals use the same treatment on patients.
Paraffin contains no water or oxygen, which are needed for bacteria to grow. The wax warmer holds the paraffin at 130 degrees (54 degrees C). High temperature and lack of oxygen and water make for an inhospitable host for germs.
When a hand or foot is dipped into the melted paraffin, it is instantly coated with a layer of paraffin. What is on the skin stays on the skin. An instant barrier is formed because human skin is 22 degrees cooler than the melting point of the paraffin. Circulating blood in the treated area helps maintain that temperature. This process causes the paraffin to solidify as soon as it touches the skin. Because the barrier forms immediately, germs on the skin are instantly encapsulated and unable to contaminate the remaining paraffin in the bath during the first and repeat dips.
Paraffin treatments have been given in clinics, hospitals, salons, and spas for over 90 years. In that time, there have been no complaints of cross-contamination have been filed with the FDA. Are paraffin treatments sanitary? Definitely: Yes!

A Little Hair History
When you first sit in my chair, I will first want to get to know you. Knowing what your habits and hobbies are helps me understand your lifestyle. It helps me figure out what kind of style will work for you. Believe it or not, even if you're a daily pony tail girl, it helps me to know that!
As I look over your hair, please know I am not judging you! You've colored your own hair with color out of a box? No biggie! Your cut is uneven because you took orange handled scissors to your split ends during a conference call marathon? Shhhh, here's a little secret: So have I! When push comes to shove, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Split ends and overgrown roots an really bring a girl down.
Rest assured, I'm looking over your hair to determine its history. Your hair tells a story, but sometimes I need more details. If you have six inches of platinum blonde at the ends, followed by a four inch mid-shaft of golden blonde, and an inch of dark brown roots, I'll ask you how that happened. It helps me formulate the perfect, customized color for your hair.
In getting to know your hair history, we may discover your hair is over processed and needs a little break. Over processed hair simply cannot hold on to color. You will waste your time and money and I will do you a great disservice if we don't take care of it. What we can do before scheduling another chemical procedure, is schedule you for a couple of deep conditioning treatments in the weeks before your next service. This helps get the hair back to a state where it is ready to hold the color again.

Let's Give 'Em Something to Talk About
Admit it, that song, made famous by Bonnie Rait, is now stuck in your head. Great! That's kind of the point of this post. As a stylist, my goal is to "Give 'Em Something to Talk About" when you leave my salon. Whether it's a few new highlights around your face, giving your bangs some texture, removing stray eyebrow hairs, or adding a touch of bling to your fingernails, I want you to leave feeling prettier and more confident.
For most of us, it doesn't take a huge change to get people to notice. It cracks me up when I wear my contacts to church (I usually wear glasses) and people ask me if I've lost weight! They know something is different, but can't quite put their finger on it. I'll take "have you lost weight?" as a major compliment, whether it's true or not!
