 DOES ANYONE EVEN KNOW WHAT ROSACEA REALLY IS? Well, the simple and quick answer is NO!  There are many "theories" out there, but there is no real definition on what actually causes Rosacea. In my experience over the past 20 years or so, I have only had two (2), yes two, clients who actually have this skin disorder.  Countless other clients were told they had Rosacea, but after I worked on them, most of them simply had irritated and angry skin.  There are many factors that cause "angry" skin.  Typically, it is the over-the-counter products that are poor in quality ingredients.  Some other reasons, are over-exfoliating without building the skin back up.  I teach my clients that it is vital to have a healthy balance between exfoliating (physically and chemically) and building the skin back up.  Thicker skins need more exfoliation and less building while thinner skins need less exfoliation and more building.  This is explained in further detail here. With the two clie

 HOW TO REFRESH ARTIFICIAL PLANTS I recently discovered a way to "freshen" up all of my artificial plants!  I get an empty spray bottle and use tap water with a few drops of Doterra "On-Guard" and spritz away! Not only does this make your rooms smell wonderful, it brightens up dusty plants with more vivid color!

 HAVING TO WEAR THESE MASKS - HOW TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BETTER! Most of us really don't like to wear these masks in order to prevent the spread of viruses.  But since we are mandated in many places to wear them, shouldn't we make them a little more comfortable in the process? One of my solutions is to sprinkle a few drops of Doterra "Breathe" into my mask before wearing it.  It helps open up the nasal passages and almost feels refreshing! Another tip a client gave me is to store the mask, when not in use, in a freezer and take it out before wearing it.  It should definitely help by not allowing any "organisms" to grow.   I hope these tips help.  Essential oils play a major role in health and well being - especially the beautiful aroma's from them.   I hope to see you soon at the Day Spa !

WHY MICROBLADING IS ALWAYS "TEMPORARY"!!! BOOK ONLINE VISIT WEBSITE/MORE INFORMATION  Let me start by letting you know that I have many years experience performing "Permanent Makeup" treatments - long before "microblading" became the "rage"! (I added permanent makeup (hairstroke brows) to my practice back in 2008.  Most individuals don't even understand exactly what microblading is.  Microblading (the popular new term/service) is a relatively new treatment done by typically "new" technicians (which is why it is offered now by so many people who claim to be "experts").  This is not meant, in any way, to disrespect new technicians, it is to explain how the industry has evolved.  This form of microblading is done using a "manual" tool and is a more superficial way of applying a temporary brow which usually fades within one year.  If you are looking for a temporary brow that will fade out, this will be the option for

JEWLS' CHOCOLATE COFFEE! So, some of you may know about my results from the Hair DNA test report (Posted BLOG).  It lists many categories of personal information including food intolerances!   Coffee was on that list!  I have made many positive changes including drinking hot tea with lemon on a regular basis, however, it is just not the same coffee "kick" that I love and want in the morning time!  I do bring my hot tea with lemon (in a thermos) with me to work and sip on that throughout the day. So, I have tried a new recipe and, so far, it is working out fantastically!!!!  I call it my morning Chocolate Coffee and I am going to give you my personal recipe:) First off, let me share with you the equipment/ingredients that I now use along with the ingredients.   Equipment/Ingredients: (click each item for link to find yours) Induction Burner Kettle (for use on induction AND stovetop) Stainless steel strainer ( very important to use stainless steel to avoid metal runoff )

STARTING TO SEE A "TURKEY NECK"????? I'm always searching and learning new ways to combat the signs of aging, naturally without injections and going under the knife (not that I won't consider this in the future if need be).  I am always taking care of my clients and tend to forget about taking care of myself!  Well, I have noticed some "sagging" under my chin and jowel area.  So, finally, I had some time before work to "work" on myself and did some "Medi-cupping" on my face and concentrated on my neck and chin area with the machine turned up pretty darned high!  Holy Cow!!!!  I forgot how AWESOME my machine is!!!!  A lot of this "loose" skin is excess fluid from inflammation and just sludge that needs to be moved out manually (think of lymphatic drainage).  Remember from a previous post, I did the DNA Hair Test and realized I had a large amount of "food intolerances" that I was unaware of and lost quite a bit of weight

FABULOUS, FANTASTIC AT 50! I'm not where I need to be, but thank God, I'm not where I used to be! (I'm 49 but turn 50 in August - 2020) I'M OKAY AND I'M ON MY WAY!!! Well, it's halftime at the football game for me!  I choose to look at life through a football lens.  I am a 2nd half quarterback (like Dan Marino) except I am going to win the Superbowl!!! I probably won't be watching football this upcoming season due to the politics involved now....I will watch when it becomes football again....if that ever happens! !!! It's not how you start, it's how you finish!!! Halftime for me, means stopping the "toilet bowl life" and cutting out "toilet bowl" relationships !  I think it is important for EVERYONE to remember that this is your (my) life and we have the power to make changes for the positive and it is NEVER TOO LATE! This is why I've added sooo many modalities and equipment to my Day Spa.  We now have the experience, knowled

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME!!! I try to only watch about 15 minutes of news per day, if that.  I then watch a church service or some Christian programs for about an hour to "set my day" (I personally LOVE Creflo Dollar and Joyce Meyer and stream them from my phone to my television).  With that said, in the very short time I watched the news this morning, I couldn't help but notice the unemployment figures being reported and it is quite distressing. So, what I am communicating this morning is that I believe it is important to NOT put all your eggs in one basket!  One of my "side" businesses is using Doterra Essential Oils.  I use them everyday in my Day Spa and at home.  There are a ton of uses for them and it is a simple formula to make extra money with Doterra. Some of my daily uses for essential oils: I diffuse a combination of Wild Orange and Lemongrass essential oils at the Day Spa and at home.  I use lavender in my hair each morning

LED LIGHT THERAPY I finally bought another LED Light for my treatment room (versus across the hall in the Relaxation Room).  I believe in this technology sooooo much that soon I will also be adding a full body LED Light Therapy session as well.  Imagine tightening the skin all over your body and face in one full hour treatment!  I am also becoming an Authorized Distributor - details coming... SEE YOU AT THE SPA SOON!!! JEWLS

OPEN - DNA HAIR FOLLICLE TEST I finally put up some information on the HAIR DNA FOLLICLE Test. This information is so valuable that I even created a page for it right here on my blog!  You don't even have to live here - your test may be done via the mail. View DNA HAIR TEST information. I will be wearing a face mask during treatments and I only work on one client at a time - so we're pretty safe here:) Please EMAIL me with any questions you may have - when a client has a concern, I am asking they email me so I can write a BLOG about it for everyone.  Many times, people have the same question and it can help all of us learn more and have gorgeous skin!!!

Good afternoon everyone! Has this been one heck of a month or what???? Before this virus really took shape, I jumped off a rogue horse and broke 9 ribs and suffered a collapsed lung.  After taking about 2 weeks off, I am here working a light load and am still available for appointments as I will be wearing a protective medical masque (which I've always had). VIP's may also substitute one facial treatment for a "Cycle".  The Cycle is almost 2 hours and consists of 1:15 hours using the Sauna/Salt/Chromotherapy room, 45 minutes in the Relaxation Room using the LED Light Therapy, Aqua Detox and the back/foot shiatsu massaging chair.  The "Cycle" is then complete after your 8 minute BEMER session. This is actually the best time to utilize these great equipment additions and to help boost immune health. Text me to book the Tranquility (Sauna) and Relaxation rooms.  VIP"s can receive two (2) cycles in lieu of a skin treatment, if desired. Mo

LIGHT THERAPY So the question is "Does Red Light Therapy really work? The answer is a resounding YES!!! I will try and explain in easy terms without all the scientific data that tends to confuse me sometimes. First of all, let's determine the #1 cause for decrease of collagen and elastin over time.   Aging, of course, contributes but that can be managed somewhat easily with regular facial treatments and facial  massage (cupping is great which I offer).  The Black Diamond Facial is an example of a relaxing, yet very effective treatment that includes upper body and facial massage.  The Medi-Cupping Facial also is an extraordinary treatment that also promotes stimulation of the collagen and elastin "firing" to increase circulation.  Improving dermal circulation (blood flow) is vital.  But the #1 cause of the collagen and elastin breaking down is sun exposure over time.   The damaging rays of the sun are the primary cause of premature aging of the skin.
