  • A NOTE FROM BARB
    Barb Pic

    In my life anything is possible. I believe I am successful so I am successful. I imagine what I want and focus on it. I create my own reality. I have great expectations therefore I have great results. I am a person that truly believes that anything is possible. I can do, be, or have anything I set my mind to. I wake up grateful for what I have, everything, every little thing. Call it a prayer, call it a thought, or call it intentions. The name makes no difference. It is gratitude. I am purely grateful for everything in my life; family, home, clothes, car, finances, etc. I hope for this season that is upon us that you can see the many things in your life to be grateful for and that you can feel the possibilities that surround you.

    With my deepest Sincerity,

    Barb

    ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?
    winter

    The Farmers’ Almanac has been providing long-range weather predictions every year since 1818. They base their forecasts on a top secret mathematical and astronomical formula. Many of those who follow the predictions say that they are 80 to 85% accurate. So here is the prediction for this up coming winter:

    Frigid temperatures as much as 20 degrees below seasonal norms and nearly 40 degrees colder than last winter, with snow and lots of it for parts of New England. Brrrrrrrr!

    Stay Warm and Healthy in the Snow and Cold.

    Here are some great winter weather tips for the up coming cold season:
    1.Wear a Hat (a large percentage of body heat loss occurs in the head region, so it’s crucial to keep your head covered), and Dress in Layers (make your first layer a shirt or long underwear made of synthetic microfibers to keep away the sweat which would make you colder (avoid cotton, which gets wet and stays wet), then top your first layer with a fleece and then a windproof jacket).
    2. Wear Rubber-Soled Boots with good traction and make sure that they aren’t to tight (the tighter they are it won’t allow enough blood to circulate to your feet and they get even colder), making sure to walk slowly and not carry too many packages. It's always a good idea to give yourself extra travel time to get wherever your going whether on foot or by car.
    3. Apply a Thin Layer of Vaseline on exposed skin (cheeks, nose, chin, ears, and neck) this will prevent getting windburn.
    4. Smear on some sunscreen and lip balm if your out in the snow on a sunny day and slip on a pair of sunglasses or goggles to protect your eyes from the snow’s glare (a sunny day in the winter is often brighter and more dangerous to your eyes than the same sun in the summer).
    5. Look for patches of white or pale gray, waxy- textured skin; these would be signs of frostbite. Go indoors and get immediate medical attention.

    Everyone has got that one person on their list that they just have no idea what to get them for the holidays. Well we have taken the guesswork out of your gift giving. Our "Personal Care Package" is the answer to all your "What am I going to get _____?"

    The "Personal Care Package" is a collection of 30 different items that can be purchased with one $60.00 gift card. Each card comes with a brochure explaining each of the 30 treatments or items. There are no prices on the brochure so the recipient does not know the value of the gift. They just book their appointment and tell the staff it is the "Personal Care Package" and that is it! It couldn't be easier.

    Special incentives are also available when purchasing multiple "Personal Care Packages". Call The Center to fiind out what it is! What better way to get your shopping done and reward yourself at the same time!

    Gift cards are also available at the front desk for any amount you would like to put on them.We can work with you to create the perfect gift.
