Abundance!!

What does ABUNDANCE mean to you?  For some of us, it means money, plain and simple.  For some, it has to do with having enough to share with others.

For me, abundance is freedom to stretch, learn, explore and create.  An abundance of energy to take on not only the tasks of the day, but my wildest dreams for the future!  And, of course, an abundance of resources to make all this happen!

I recently met a woman known as THE ABUNDANCE WHISPERER.  Her name is Cristi Earnshaw, and she has an incredible gift to guide others in manifesting abundance in their lives.

Here's a funny Conan segment, where a happy client talks about Cristi.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to treat myself to a session with Cristi.

We had our 90-minute session via Face time. She also works in person and via Skype. She can even do a session on "regular" phone, if that's what is available. She is a fun, passionate woman, and I felt an instant connection with her.
What I've experienced so far is an amazing sense of peace and control, along with an enthusiasm for life that I haven't felt in some time. I can't explain it, I wake up more refreshed, I jump out of bed, and I feel like I'm more efficient and have more time in each day! The only thing different is that I'm doing what Cristi calls "Prosperity Projects" almost every day - taking small steps toward clearing the energy in my space to allow more abundance.

I highly recommend Cristi!  Give yourself the gift of a session with her - the sky's the limit with what you can create!!

I'll be back to update this post as I continue on with my projects!!

Microdermabrasion Q&A

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a terrific anti-aging treatment that is appropriate for almost every skin type.  Some of the benefits are:

Reduces fine lines

Reduces hyperpigmentation/acne scars

Smoothes the skin’s texture

Brightens the complexion

Creates a firmer appearance

Helps correct/prevent congestion

How does microdermabrasion work?

Ultra-fine mineral crystals are applied to the skin under pressure, and simultaneously vacuumed off.  The crystals sweeping over the skin loosen the dead skin cells, which are then removed.  This also helps to clear congestion from the pores.  By doing this deep exfoliation, hyperpigmentation is gradually reduced.  Microdermabrasion also helps treatment products and moisturizers penetrate more effectively.

How often should I have microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion can be part of your monthly professional skin care regimen.  In some cases, we will recommend that you start with an intensive 6-session series, where the treatments are performed every 2 weeks, or as recommended by your esthetician.  This will produce excellent results when treating hyperpigmentation.

Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?

Absolutely!!  We will analyze your skin and we may recommend that you combine microdermabrasion with one or more of the following:

Deep Cleansing Facial

Glycolic treatment

Oxygen treatment

What types of products should I use following microdermabrasion?

The most important thing to remember about microdermabrasion is that it is an extremely effective exfoliating treatment, so sunscreen is absolutely required after the treatment.  You may wish to schedule your treatments when you won’t be spending a lot of time outdoors, but if you must, we recommend a full-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or greater, along with a wide-brimmed hat.

When treating hyperpigmentation, it is necessary to add a tyrosinase inhibitor to your home care routine.  These products help to lighten and prevent hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure.  We carry the most effective products of this kind, and your esthetician will be happy to help you with your selection.

The first 2 days after your microdermabrasion treatment you will want to avoid harsh cleansers, scrubs, highly fragranced products and retinols (including Retin-A).  After 2 days you can resume your regular skin-care regimen.

What if I have active acne?  Can I have a microdermabrasion treatment?

Your esthetician will analyze your skin and recommend the best treatments for you.  Cystic acne contraindicates a microdermabrasion treatment, as it is too stimulating to the oil follicles, but light acne and monthly blemishes respond beautifully to this treatment.  If you are on prescription acne medication (oral or topical) please consult with your dermatologist to decide if microdermabrasion is right for you.

What if I’m pregnant?

Please let us know, and we will make sure that all the products and procedures of your treatment are appropriate, and congratulations!!
