THE TIME OF MY LIFE

Why do you think you were put on this earth?  Why do you think we exist?  Many people feel like there is more to our lives, or even an after-life.  A place where, all of a sudden, things make sense.  But while we're going through the motions, why don't we spend more time thinking about the time we are spending now and the life we are given now.

Maybe there is some sense made of life after we die, but we need to shift gears and focus on what we know, what we can see, and what our lives mean now.  Life is too short.          It just is.

ENJOY (by: Ron Bird)

Enjoy today Yesterday is now the past, Tomorrow, maybe, the future Today is a gift!

That's why it's called the present Enjoy today For too soon Today's become yesterdays

Tomorrows become today's And if another day, that's tomorrow. Enjoy today Then yesterday is not gone

But part of today's memory And can only help today To look forward to tomorrow as today. Enjoy today

And when it comes for you there's no tomorrow As it must to all in the end People will think back and say You enjoyed your life, every day

**I urge everyone who reads this post to take this poem seriously.  You only live once. Enjoy it.

CAN YOU FEEL IT? So it's back to school and a whole lot more!  There's so much to do this time of year and it can be totally overwhelming.  Can I just say that I am a bit overwhelmed myself?  The shop is going to be entering it's fourth year of life and the changes keep piling up.

We would like to hire another a few more staff members, we would like more space, we would like to be able to offer more types of services to our clients, we want to be better, we want to do the best possible job we can and we want you to FEEL it when you come in the shop.  We want you to FEEL the difference when you check us out online.  We want you to FEEL the difference when you chat with us on the phone.

At the shop, my job is to make you feel your best with the amount of time I've been given.  We want to know what more we can do to make you FEEL like your experience was indeed a good one.  I'm looking into ways to make sure that when you experience Freshair Boutique (in whatever way you do) you can feel good every time.  Great even!  It's necessary for me to attempt to understand why people choose certain places and things over others.  What's the difference?  How you FEEL.  That's it.  That's all.

This is one aspect about owning your own business that I actually love.  It keeps you on your toes and there is always something that can be done to get better.  Things can always be better, even though, things are pretty great right now....  It's my job as the boss lady to try to make sure that we're doing things to the fullest of our abilities. I like my job...

BEAUTIFYING ELIXIRS This is a new product line we've been trying for a little while. Still natural, still good for you and your hairs. Beautifying Elixirs is a unique line formulated for specifically damaged, processed or dry hair. The price point is quite high, so if your locks are healthy and shiny or if you've never colored you hair, it's not for you.

There is absolutely NO WATER in any of the products so they are quite concentrated and potent. You don't need much because a little really goes a long way. There are two shampoo and conditioner combos, a curl cream, a masque, a hairspray, a detangler/thermal spray, and the actual elixir.

Another great feature about this line is that all nine products have heat protection, UV protection and color protection. No sulphates, phthalates, parabens, or any of that yucky stuff. You just need to try.

For the month of September we would like to get you to try these products, if indeed you are a good candidate. We are selling the shampoo and you get the conditioner free. We know everyone enjoys a good BOGO....

Stay tuned for the details and if your interested come try it out! That's the fresh perspective...

PURE ANADA

As most of you know, we really try to forage the best products for your use and consumption.  Pure Anada is a natural cosmetic line out of Canada that has a strong sense of what natural really means.  We just started carrying their mascara because it is absolutely amazing!

Mascara is one of those make-up essentials that can do a lot with even just a few swipes.  What kind of mascara do you use?  Do you know what's in it?  Do you know why/how it makes your lashes looks so good?  Pure Anada's mascara is as natural as it gets, its vegan, it's pH balanced, comes in black and brown, and it's made and distributed locally (no worries about where it was shipped from, or if small children were responsible for filling the tubes).

Buying this mascara is isn't just good for your lashes, it's  good for your person.  When the money leaves your hands, it's doing more than the money you spent on the Covergirl mascara you bought at shoppers and it works just as well!  If you have sensitive eyes and can't wear most brands come in and test it out.  I'm sure you'll like it and this way you can try without committing to a tube that you can't use.

Folks, we're here to help you.  We're here to give you the most information we can about the products we use and consume on a daily basis.  We're here to help you open up to a new way of thinking about how you want to live your life.  Take the time to make a change or a difference, even if it is with just a tube of mascara.  You won't regret it and your lashes won't regret it.  For those of you who have already purchased a tube, thanks for supporting Freshair Boutique and Pure Anada!

PRODUCT REVIEW Compressed towel tablets

I love these towels!  As a mother of young ones, I need to have a handy wipe around at all times.  Prospector Co, a line we carry at the shop, has these great towel tablets.  You get six in a jar and all you need to do is add water.  The tablets turn into wipes that you can use on faces, hands, and genteel parts.  Because you just add water,  you don't have to worry about any of the chemicals that can be present in many over-the-counter wipes.

It's too bad that you only get six in a jar but I like to think that being able to reuse this cute 2 oz. jar makes up for it. ( I have three already...)  Also, because it's a 2 oz. jar, it can fit almost anywhere!  To be fair you don't need to have kids to get this product, it's handy, and works really well.  That's the fresh perspective...
