September is the month that helps me to adjust into the fall mood, with not being quite ready to give up on the summer days, but welcoming the cooler mornings and nights after such a hot summer. It's nice to be gently lulled into the slow transition from summer to fall. There is still lots to do in the garden and I love that I can still sow and reap a second planting of lettuce. I have had the glorious blessing of spending some quality time at the ocean as well as my other favourite place; the garden this summer. It has been a fabulous summer, but I feel the mood changing as many of you are prepping your children for school and university. On that note I would like to congratulate two very stellar clients, whose hard work and dedication will take them to the next level of their life ambitions: Rachael Creighton who competed for and won a full scholar ship to Western University where she will take micro biology and major in Chemistry and Olivia MacLean who has been accepted to The International School of Ballet at the young age of 12. congrats and good luck with your studies. Once we get back into routine and find our place in this ever evolving world, be sure to carve out a little time for yourself.

Endless Summer Cleansing Facial
As much as we love the warmth of the sun on our skin, by the end of the summer the dry heat and sweat can make our skin look tired and aged. Having a clinical facial will removed the built up dead skin cells and reveal new, youthful skin just waiting to be exposed.
This facial will begin with multiple clinical cleansers to remove dead skin cells, refine aged skin and brighten dull tired skin. Extractions will follow if necessary, a relaxing facial massage, eye treatment with under eye lymph drainage, a serum for your specific skin's needs, topped with a revitalizing healing mask.

I would like to close this page with a dedication to my Sweet Sweet friend Jane Stephen who sadly, passed away this summer from cancer. Jane was such a beautiful soul inside and out and even throughout her illness, she always brought laughter and joy to the room. She taught me so much in a short time and I feel forever grateful for how she touched my life and my heart. Jane was witty, intelligent and so giving and kind to others. Her love of her family and friends, two children Alexandra and Luke, travel, poetry, art, beautiful clothes and jewelry makes it bitter that she left us so soon, but on the sweet side she lived and enjoyed life every day. I loved that no matter where we went, be it the beach, a pub, a cafe, Jane was always adorned in jewelry and a beautiful dress. She was a very classy lady. With all that being said,what I will miss most about Jane is her contagious laughter.
