Vacation Vacation Vacation

There are so many things to prep before a trip, especially a sun vacation. New bikinis, beach towel, sun screen. In our case bug spray. I don't want to forget any sun dress, or pair of shorts that has wedged their way to the back of my drawers and closets!
Then there's the maintenance, timing your wax accordingly, and doing it right before you leave for the smoothest, cleanest skin.
I have been exfoliating and moisturizing up a storm and the little fine hairs are growing longer and longer so that the wax the day before I leave will rip all the little suckers out by their big roots. This doesn't mean you can't wax while you are already away.  From experience, I just prefer the wax and technique of my usual Esthetician.
If you feel the need to prep with some colour on your skin, try a cream product or spray tan, those booths get nothing but bad press and Skin Cancers are no fun!
Polished toes, are the finishing touch for any open toed shoe occasion. Polish will generally last 4-6 weeks, depending on how hard you can be on your feet. But the closer to take off the better.
And remember, your Esthetician hates saying no, so book early to ensure the timing is perfect for you!

Ingrown Hairs.......

Well no one really wants to talk about them, they are aren't pretty and can also be quite painful. On some occasions they have to be lanced out by a doctor. People ask all the time, "what can I do about Ingrown hairs?"
Here are a few tips:
1. Exfoliate almost daily in the shower or bath. Use a loofah or my favorite is Dermalogica's Exfoliating Cloth. I use a liquid soap and wash/exfoliate my entire body daily.
2. If you still notice some ingown hairs, gently squeeze. Sometimes the coagulated hair will pop right out. Do not squeeze so hard that you break or damage the skin. Your Esthetician should do this for you when you visit for a wax.
3. Shaving against the hairs causes root growth confusion. In other words, DROP THE RAZOR!
4. PFB Vanish is an ingrown hair treatment. This roll on gel exfoliates and moisturizes and is specific for ingrown hairs, razor burn (who does anything that burns?) and bumps. Contact me if you wish to order a bottle, $17
5. Avoid lace underwear the day of waxing, it causes more irritations.
really tight underwear or also causes irritations.
Hope these quick and easy tips help you get your bikini area ready for Spring Break!

A Special Treat

The other day I visited my client at the Cancer Agency. She is  in the hospital having radiation done. When we are sick in the hospital, there is not a lot of things we want. The gift of pampering can really lighten ones spirits. Flowers and candies are always really lovely, but sometimes we don't have an appetite and if you can't change the flower water, well we all know how horrid that smell can be.
How about the gift of pampering? If you know someone bed ridden at home or in the hospital SpaMobile is an incredibly thoughtful and heartwarming gift to receive. I am always amazed by the power of optimism, and the strength people show when they seem to be out of energy. I love making people feel better, and what better way than a massage and painting a beautiful colour on your hands and feet!
Remember to look after your body; drink water, exercise and laugh!

The Secret to Dating....

Usually your Esthetician is the first to find out your pregnant or dating. It comes with the personal territory, and for that it is also the reason you become trusting of your "waxer".
It is in my experience, that when dating occasionally or even just seeing what's out there that you always make sure you are ready. And by ready, I mean cleaned up. This is the reason you should be booking regularly for your waxes. Every 4-6 weeks, this not only ensures the pain is less, but it keeps everything under control. Underarms, Legs, Bikini,Upper Lip and even Brows. All the things these guys are looking at. If you feel comfortable you come across as more confident!
Now gentlemen, don't laugh but this goes for you too! Chest is a totally personal choice, some men prefer it bare, some hairy. Others leave the choice to the woman. But there is never a choice about back hair, get it gone! A little or a lot, it doesn't matter, a few minute of pain is well worth the rewards. No woman is going to massage a mass of hair, and why work on your deltoids if they are covered up with hair?
Remember, hair should be about a quarter of an inch, don't plan to hot tub or sauna right after and hot hot showers should always be avoided! Regular waxing (with no shaving in between) will decrease the amount of hair and size of root over time.
And if you are still shaving....... well just give wax a chance!

"Look at my Lashes"

The Mountains are dusted in snow and it continues to fall in the right spots. I can't wait to get up the mountain and get into some of that powder.
I love my board, my jacket, boots and pants all match and I have a choice of 3 cute toques to wear, the only other decision to make is, make up or not? You never know who you are going to see at lunch in the Roundhouse, or maybe mid day you want to take off your goggles. Do I go out with out mascara and then my eyes are small and beady looking, or do I load up the mascara and run the risk of raccoon eyes?
Lash Tinting! this makes my blond lashes look fuller and darker without having to wear make up.  There is Brown, Black and Blue Black, Blue Black is the way to go, the deepest darkest black you can get.
The answer for the look of make up for places like the gym and ski hills!
If you are looking for a more dramatic look to take to your next party, book a set of Lashes. Individually glued on to look natural, this 2-3 week lasting treatment gives you the lashes you always dreamed of.
Book your set for your next Party or Vacation!
Happy Holidays!
