Zen Facelift Facials Now Offered in Pensacola
E
sthetician Susan Blanc is now offering Zen Facelift Facials at her office in Pensacola. Blanc recently trained in this noninvasive skin care technique, which uses massage to “awaken” the facial skin and activate its natural ability to rejuvenate. “This is a luxurious holistic treatment that tightens, plumps and revitalizes the skin while you relax,” she says. The Zen Facelift Facial was created by Cheryl Miller, a master esthetician and the owner of the Zen Lounge and Institute for Higher Learning, in Puyallup, Washington. She has said she developed the technique to “elevate traditional facial massage to a completely new, therapeutically corrective level,” while still using just the hands. Blanc, who learned the technique from Miller, says the six-step procedure uses specific isometric and isotonic massage methods to lift, tighten and tone the fascia and muscle, creating new muscle memory. The effects can be seen and felt, she says. According to Miller, the visible benefits include improved appearance of the skin on the face, neck and décolletage; the softening of laugh lines, crow’s feet and smoker’s lips; and the tightening of loose skin, such as droopy jowls and turkey neck. There are also wideranging physiological benefits, she says, including clearer sinuses and improved breathing; relief from stress, sinus and tension headaches; better digestive and glandular function; and relief of chronic jaw pain due to malocclusions, clenching or grinding of the teeth. Location: 400 Pickens Ave., Pensacola, FL. For appointments or more information, call 850-723-8429.
Free Workshop Focuses on Backyard Homes
A
fter decades of decline, the City of Pensacola is growing and changing, leading to concerns about housing supply, diversity and affordability. One solution—small backyard homes known as accessory dwelling units (ADUs)— will be the subject of a workshop at the Pensacola Public Library from 10:30 a.m. to noon on February 2. Workshop presenters, including an architect, a builder, a lender, a homeowner and a real estate agent, will discuss how to design, build and fund ADUs, which are built adjacent to existing homes. At the end of the event, attendees can tour an ADU adjacent to the downtown library. “An ADU can take many shapes and can be called different names, from garage apartments to granny flats, mother-in-law suites and more,” says Christian Wagley of Sustainable Town Concepts, a Pensacola consulting service. “They are a traditional part of the housing stock in older neighborhoods all across the country, including in Pensacola’s East Hill and North Hill.” In addition to providing housing diversity, ADUs bring the increased neighborhood population needed to support local businesses, Wagley says. They can also be rented to provide additional income for residents as the cost of urban housing increases, and provide an age-in-place option for seniors. Cost: Free. Location: 239 N. Spring St., Pensacola, FL. For more information, call 850-687-9968 or email Christian@SustainableTownConcepts.com.
