We are in love

I know you so well I can tell by the sound of your voice If you're really in love with me And you are You are You know I can't lie If I say to you 'baby, I love you' Then baby, I love you And I do I do I do could it be that's the Phrase you thought never would phase you Well baby, you better hold on tight 'Cause I'm the one who's supposed to Kneel down and propose, well alright I might, I might So, when I kiss you good-night Just sleep tight with the thought that you'll Always be caught up in love with me And you'll dream that the stars up above Have the answer of whether we'll be Or whether we won't be In love Well, we are We are

That's the fresh perspective...

WISH AND PRETEND I need to be somewhere where I can wear flip-flops and feel the sun all over me.  I need to be somewhere where I can't wear too much clothes because I will sweat.  I need to be somewhere other than Winnipeg right now, even for a few days.  I cannot go anywhere so I just wish and pretend...

The perspective today, is not fresh...

FISH-TAIL HOW-TO This is a great way to keep your static under control!  A braid can hold all your hair together and give a more 'styled' look than a pony-tail.

This particular braid (fish-tail braid) is best for long hair, with longer, or no layers.  As much fun as layers are, they can be difficult to control when attempting to get all your hair back.  Try this braid and see how you do.  For one, it'll keep your hair out of the way, and if you are heading somewhere hot, it's a nice alternative to the regular braid or pony-tail.

Remember gals, practice, practice, practice!  You might not get it on the first round but the more you try the better you'll get.  That  is all.

DRY TIMES...

We have about 3 more months of the cold before we can look forward to the humidity, sweat, and mosquitoes!  How much more static can you take?!  With the on-and-off of toques and the constant friction of scarves, our hairs are suffering...

Cue the masques, and the treatments!  This time of year we could all benefit from extra conditioning.  Our skin, our hair, our lips, our hair, our bodies, our hair....  A deep treatment/masque might be all you need to cure your hair's thirst.  Weekly masques coupled with a treatment spray/oil can help moisturize your dry ends, and take care of the static.

Don't let the price of a treatment scare you off.  You don't need much, and if you use it properly you'll find that you'll use less of your other products as well.  You'll need less shampoo and conditioner, and probably less styling products.  Healthier hair tends to be easier and shinier and more cooperative.

For this cold season, we're offering masques as an add-on for $5 with any hair service.  And in my humble opinion, this is a great deal because treatments usually start at $15!  We want you to try one so you can see and FEEL the benefits.  Ask your stylist for any suggestions that they can give you for the dryness and static state your hair might be in.  If you come to our shop, remind your stylist that you would like to try the treatment special for this season.  Trust me, you won't regret it.  That's the fresh perspective...

This is a lovely poem.  Enjoy!

The Promise

By Jane Hirshfield

Stay, I said

to the cut flowers.

They bowed

their heads lower.

Stay, I said to the spider,

who fled.

Stay, leaf.

It reddened,

embarrassed for me and itself.

Stay, I said to my body.

It sat as a dog does,

obedient for a moment,

soon starting to tremble.

Stay, to the earth

of riverine valley meadows,

of fossiled escarpments,

of limestone and sandstone.

It looked back

with a changing expression, in silence.

Stay, I said to my loves.

Each answered,

Always.
