One of the reason I love this photo is because it reminds me of my mother. She had some "old fashion ways" for her time and one of them was hanging laundry to dry on the clothesline outside. To this day I enjoy hanging clothes outside the "old fashion way" as well. I often hear my husband in the background saying just throw them in the dryer, but there is something special about hanging clothes outside; of course the fresh air smell on your clothes is one of the best benefits, but I think there is something ritual about it as well, knowing that my mother did it and her mother did and so on. It almost feels like an art, sadly,one that is being lost. It give me a sense of "down home" peace when I see the clothes blowing in the breeze with sweet reminders of my mother in those by gone days. While we can't recreate the past the pleasant smell of freshly laundered sheets brought in from outside certainly comes close!
Let's celebrate all mothers, past, present and future

Dermaplaning-
What??
Dermaplaning is a service to exfoliate and remove unwanted light fluffy facial hair using a scalpel. I know it sounds scary, but it is very safe. It is a wonderful alternative to facial waxing in that it is not painful and generally causes very little irritation to the skin. The hair grow back just as soft and light as when you started the service and many clients feel the hair does not grow back as fast as when they waxed. This service also includes the upper lip, pain free! Once you have the service you will notice that your skin care products work better and that your make-up looks very polished!
Service requires 1/2 hr and cost 50.00
Ascenta Skin- has you covered.
Did you know that it is just as important to take Ascenta skin in the summer as it is in the winter month?
Ascenta Skin Founder & Formulator Marc St.
Onge says, "Ascenta Skin boosts UV protection throughout the whole
body, compared to topical sunscreens which only protect the skin where
it is applied and the results are tremendous."
Skin
is under constant stress from UV exposure and during summer months the
effect is amplified. UV rays generate free radicals, which break down
collagen, accelerate skin aging, damage DNA, cause sun spots, and
promote the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, which trigger the
production of inflammatory skin diseases. Free radicals and inflammation
can also play a role in allergic skin reactions resulting in even more
redness and irritation.
Ascenta
Skin works to enhance the body's natural defenses against UV radiation
with 6 powerful active ingredients: EPA and DHA sourced from fish oil,
GLA from borage seeds, zeaxanthin sourced from paprika, lutein sourced
from marigold, along with 1000iu of vitamin D3. This synergistic blend
of active ingredients increase the skin's resilience to UV induced
redness, reduces burning, and contains powerful antioxidants to fight
free radical damage.
When
coupled with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen and UPF clothing,
using Ascenta Skin will help you achieve optimal skin health and enable
you to enjoy the summer by minimizing the skin damaging and aging
effects of the sun.
