For the last several years we have been celebrating our customers every October by offering our biggest beauty event of the year! This year marks our 9th Annual OPEN HOUSE, which is Tuesday, October 7th from 4 – 8 p.m.
Our Open House Tradition
We decided to host an open house the year we opened our doors back in 2005 to celebrate our valued customers. Our open house event is a chance for our clients to meet our staff and skincare experts one-on-one. It is also an opportunity for us to demonstrate our sincere thanks by offering our clients a “one night only” event where they can take advantage of huge savings! Each year we give away a fabulous gift bag to the 1st 50 people who arrive. There are some wonderful goodies this year so you will want to arrive early to be sure to get your free gift bag!

During the Open House our expert staff will be offering free mini consultations and guests can enjoy special discounted prices for services and products purchased on the night of our event only.
Other Highlights include:
• Mini-Make-up Consultations (compliments of GloMinerals)

The benefits of mineral makeup have drawn many women to it. And it isn’t just hype – there ARE real benefits to using this type of makeup. We’ve gathered the top five reasons that mineral makeup is better for your skin and why you should consider using it, or at least giving it a try!

1. Mineral makeup can be better for sensitive skin  because it doesn’t contain perfumes, talc, alcohol, dyes, mineral oil or preservatives.  It is believed to be less irritating to the skin.
2. Mineral makeup is a better choice for acne-prone skin.  The lack of filler ingredients also make it less likely to cause embarrassing breakouts. Rosacea sufferers have had quite a bit of luck with these products, also.
3. Mineral makeup gives a beautiful, luminous finish.  It has the ability to make skin imperfections look better because of the light reflective properties it possesses.
4. Zinc is contained in many mineral makeup formulations.  It is known to soothes irritation and provide a light sunblock.  Don’t count on relying on your mineral makeup foundation as your sunscreen every day, however. It will not provide you with enough protection to be out in the sun for hours.
5. The coverage mineral makeup provides is lightweight but complete. It is extremely easy to apply. Short on time? Mineral makeup goes on fast and saves you time!

We hope this has given you some insight to the many benefits of mineral makeup! We’d love to tell you more in person about how it can benefit you and your individual needs! Drop by this summer when you’re nearby and check out our gloMinerals makeup. See you soon.

We all know that dieting is not a lot of fun, but looking good in your summer clothes is! When it comes to losing a few pounds, what key things will help you succeed?
Here are some of my best five weight loss tips:
Get in the right frame of mind.
1. Determine your main objective. To lose weight successfully, you first need to have a real desire and a main objective. With both of these, you will be more focused and determined to achieve your goal, keeping you from getting off track.  Therefore, it is important for you to determine your objective first. Maybe it’s an upcoming event or simply the thought of slipping into last years summer clothes, or better yet, buying some new ones.
2. Visualization- When temptation occurs take a deep breath and visualize a thinner happier you! Let’s face it, we are happier when we look our best. If you can visualize yourself feeling and looking good, the chances of your succeeding will be far greater.
Get into a daily diet routine

3. Drink lots and lots of water.  This seems like a no brainer but in reality it is one dieting rule that is often overlooked and can make the difference in terms of flushing out toxins and feeling full. Plus, that extra water will give your complexion a youthful glow.
4. Eat five cups of veggies every day. Vegetables are high in nutrients, low calorie and they fill you up. You can always divvy these [five cups] up during the day. I like to have two cups with lunch, two cups with dinner and one cup as a morning or afternoon snack. Don’t worry too much about eating the “right” ones.  Choose the ones you enjoy eating the most.

5. Have three protein rich meals. Protein kick starts your metabolism and suppresses the appetite.  Another protein benefit is it keeps you feeling full, so stock up on chicken, turkey, fresh fish and cottage cheese.

Most importantly, remember to stay positive, visualize the new and improved you and give yourself a nice reward when you’ve reached your goal!
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!
