How To Keep Ahead Of The Winter Blues
(Yes, Cold Weather Is Coming!)
As autumn gradually makes its way into the colder days of winter, we pull on thicker socks and grab our favourite boots. Love it or hate it, winter is on its way!
So what can you do to prepare for the chilly days ahead? Put self-care at the top of your list!
1. Increase your vitamin D. Sunlight levels are less in the winter, but get as much of it as you can and increase your vitamin D. It helps to increase energy levels.
2. Change up your skincare products. Skin needs richer, more nourishing products to protect it from colder temperatures. We can help you there.
3. Buy fresh flowers! The vibrant colours of a Spring bouquet add freshness and cheer to any room.
4. Review your make-up colours. What about a new look? We’ll match winter shades with easy, make-up techniques that are perfect for you.
5. Wear bright colours. It’s hard to feel down with vibrant splashes of colour. And it’s fun!
6. Keep getting pedicures. Regular pedicures boost your immunity and make you feel happier.
7. Exercise. Yes, indeed. Get that blood and serotonin pumping! It’s a sure cure for the winter blues.
8. Get a manicure. A splash of bright polish on hardworking hands is an instant pick-me-up. Manicures also give your hands a moisture boost while relaxing you at the same time.
9. Watch your cravings. When serotonin levels are low, your body craves carbohydrates, especially high sugar foods like junk food and soda. Go for protein instead.
10. Get a spray tan. Keep that sun kissed look all through winter. It will keep you smiling all season long!
Sail through the upcoming cold season. Take care of yourself and let us be your partner in keeping you healthy and happy!

A Saturated Fat That Flattens Your Stomach
Ugh! It’s the one area that’s the toughest for weight loss—your stomach!
Enter coconut oil. Yes, it’s a saturated fat, but this so-called “bad fat” has a very healthy place for you in your diet.
- It promotes weight loss
- Boosts your metabolism
- Helps you burn fat
- Helps raise the levels of good cholesterol
Coconut oil has been found to lower total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and bad cholesterol. It also contains lauric acid, which converts into monolaurin in your body, a fantastic fungal and bacterial fighting substance.
Look for unrefined virgin or extra virgin coconut oils to get the weight loss and health benefits above.

What You Can Do About Stinky Feet
Believe it or not, your feet can produce a whopping half-liter, that’s over 2 cups, of sweat in one day! And if your feet like to hold onto that sweat, you’ve got a serious problem.
There are many home remedies that help with stinky feet, but there’s one big remedy you simply can’t do at home. That’s a professional pedicure.
Our licensed pedicurist will start by soaking those hardworking feet in a whirlpool of water. A heavenly sensation, soaking not only relaxes you, it also helps to reduce the amount of odor your feet produce.
Then she will slough off the dead skin on your feet, including calluses. Removing this excess skin is important because if you let it build up, it’s just another place for sweat and odor to take up residence.
With all that old dead skin gone, newer, softer skin can move in, and there are no additional hiding places for odor.
Massaging your feet and legs feels divine, but it, too, serves a greater purpose.
Emotional stress can trigger the release of sweat, which causes your feet to smell. Massage, on the other hand, calms down your nervous system.
That’s why pedicures allow you to take an hour for yourself while reducing foot odor and improving your health!

The SPF Half Truth You Must Know!
“I got a sunburn and I wore SPF 30 sunscreen. I don’t get it.”
That’s a frequent complaint from sun-loving clients that also want to protect their skin.
So what’s going on here? Did your SPF let you down? The problem is that SPF’s are greatly misunderstood. We expect a whole lot from this sun protector, but we aren’t willing to give much in return!
It all starts with this:
The SPF number indicates the amount of time you can stay in the sun without burning versus how long you could stay in the sun without sunscreen and without burning.
For example, an SPF 30 sunscreen allows you to stay outside 30 times longer than if you weren’t wearing sunscreen. But that’s only half of the truth!
What’s not commonly understood is the “Maximum Erythema Dose,” which simply means the point at which your skin flushes slightly pink while exposed to UV rays.
Obviously, it’s different for everyone. Very fair skinned people may start to pink up after 10 minutes in the sun. Darker skin complexions may take up to an hour.
Here’s a look at how the formula works for both skin types:
Fair Skin: SPF 30 x 10 minutes= 300 sun safe minutes
Darker Skin: SPF 30 x 60 minutes=900 sun safe minutes
The catch? Sweating, swimming, and rubbing off the sunscreen! For each of these, cut the sun protection factor in HALF.
Your sunscreen does work but you must re-apply frequently, preferably every 2 hours. Better yet, get out of the sun until tomorrow!
