the fresh perspective...

Odacité Odacité is a skin care line out of France that we are thinking of carrying in the new store.  It falls in line with our philosophy and has so many great benefits for those of us who are environmentally conscious.  Any of you ever heard about it?  It's basically the best.  I sampled the balancing toner and one of the pure elements oils for three days and could not believe the results.  I will say that I am very fortunate to have decent skin, but considering this is the only face I'll have till I'm deceased, I thought that I should prepare a regime for myself.

I am a Norwex cloth user and then follow up with some body lotion.  Yup, I put body lotion on my face!  It's crazy, I'm lazy...  What I've decided to do was order some full-sized products. I bought the toner and oil and added it to my regime and then added the facial moisturizer.  I'm completely pleased and satisfied, and I want everyone to try this product.  What we're going to do is get some samples in and let you guys try.  The full line is quite extensive but we are thinking of getting the oils.  There are 18 vials and each have specific purposes.

My question is, what's your skin regime?  How much do you spend on your facial routine?  Do spend anything?  Are you like how I used to be and don't really value the time and care spent in a skincare routine?  I urge you to think twice about your routine because, as I mentioned earlier, it's the only skin you have...  That's the fresh perspective...

Monday

That's the kind of weekend I had... The days just speed by.  Anyway, a good Monday to you all and, I hope that the dreariness of Canada Day weather won't make you want to break up with Tuesday as well.  Happy Canada Day!

Peace

HOORAY!!!!

You guys! Chloe, my assistant, is now a full-blown stylist!  She finished her apprenticeship program and passed with flying colors!  I'm very excited because this is my very first protégé.

Chloe started at Freshair two years ago and has continued to grow and improve.  I'm very proud and just wanted to let everyone know.  The hair industry relies on students like Chloe who are willing to work hard and are dedicated to making the industry a better one.

Good job Hodgson, I hope you know that I'm here if you need anything hair or life related... Go forth and be great!  I know being an assistant is not easy, and going through the three-year program is even harder.  Please help me congratulate Chloe the next time you see her in the shop!  She is well deserving!

The new shop?

Guys, there was supposed to be a new shiny shop as of June 1.  The shop is not new yet.  The shop is not shiny yet.  We haven't started anything.  I was just wanted to keep you all posted on the status of our renovations, seeing that I've been talking about it for months...

The City of Winnipeg has been holding us up with permits and things.  I understand that permits are set in place to make sure that things go smoothly but good god!  I wish there was an easier way!  First to get by the permit thing, and then there's the actual renovations!  We all know that can be terrifying because one never knows how renos will end.

I can't wait, Christie can't wait, none of us can wait! I 'm sure you guys are excited too.  We have so much new things to share with you and the time is coming soon guys... It is coming!

Peace

A POEM I do my thing and you do your thing

I do my thing, and you do your thing.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations

And you are not in this world to live up to mine.

You are you and I am I, if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.

If not, it can’t be helped.

Henry

I'd like to take this time to say a few words about my dad Henry.  He hasn't always been the 'dad' that I wanted but he has ALWAYS been there.  I'm his oldest child and only daughter so we have a special connection.

Regardless of sex/gender, I feel like a father plays a very important role in a child's life.  They aren't always the nurturer, but they are an important part of the foundation that our  youth develop from.  Like my mom, my dad played a great role in how I turned out as a woman.  I feel like I realize now, as an adult, how much more we have connected as I have grown.

I need to be more open and involved in my dad's life.  I also should not wait for hallmark to remind me when I should show him my total appreciation.  It's too bad that father's day and mother's day make recognizing our parents into a once a year thing.  Oh well, it is what it is, but no matter what, I'm grateful for his life and I'm blessed to be his daughter.

Peace
