letter from THE

editor

Growing up in the Midwest, summers consisted of sitting in the back “stair wells” of our house, sneaking over into the fields across the street -just because, having water balloon fights, most likely laying in the sun for endless hours using just baby oil and listening to the radio blasting out of one of the bedroom windows (not sure why the neighbors never complained?!) Hmmmm…. If we only knew then what we know now, maybe some of us wouldn’t be looking at our sunspots wondering where they came from.

Although, I would never want to change a single second growing up, going to school, living the exciting life in Hollywood, traveling and then living in Europe, becoming a mom, and ultimately seeing my kids grow up – I can definitely say it has taught me a lot.

Now that my kids are grown, looking back I did become the mom that followed them to the bus stop insisting that “just maybe” it might get cold and they should bring that jacket, or don’t forget their helmets when riding their bikes (although I never did), and always wear their sunscreen. Yes, some of us may become parents and some of us not. I am sure that we all grow up and we all come to one conclusion. Life flies by. Sometimes we get caught up in the daily tasks. One thing is for sure, we don’t spend enough time taking care of ourselves.

When I relocated to Florida the first place I drove by was Essentials MediSpa and Salon and something made me walk through the front door. I was not only taken back by the immediate breath of RELAXATION. (Could I really relax?) I was in the midst of relocating, a 92 foot truck was arriving the next day and so many things were on my list, but I couldn’t help myself not to ask for a “tour.” One of the beautiful girls led me through a place that I would later call my “Essentials Family.” When I got back into my car and reality sunk in, I began to take care of my “duties.” I was smiling because I had managed to make an appointment for a massage, and now the rest is history.

We all need to take a breath, pull back those shoulders, chin up and know that we can accomplish all that we set out to do with some hard work and that never ending desire to challenge ourselves.

If you haven’t been so lucky to experience the beauty of Essentials already, please take my word for it. You are worth it, you deserve a day trip away (or at least an hour) and let us spoil you! Moms, dads, husbands, wives and friends….you are worth it!

See you next time... xoxo

EXPERT ARE

HEADACHES

keeping you from the simplest things?

“Tension” headaches are the most common type of headaches among adults. Commonly referred to as stress headaches and are primarily caused by the contraction of certain muscles that attach to the skull. Statistics show that up to 80% of the adult population suffers from a tension-type of headache from time to time. Some people suffer more frequently than others and some suffer with debilitating headaches. The headaches may be made worse by things like; poor posture, not getting enough rest, non-supportive pillows or emotional or mental stress.

Essentials MediSpa now offers a treatment for these headaches that has been shown in a clinical study to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches buy up to 85% and up to a 70% reduction in total headache days. We use a proprietary blend of muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory agents that are injected in “micro” doses directly into the muscles most frequent responsible for tension headaches.

The service itself takes less than 30 minutes and the results are proven.

Dr. Lesser, Essential’s Medical Director developed the technique and did the clinical study on this ground-breaking treatment. He is fellowship trained and board certified in four separate medical disciplines including internal medicine, cardiology, advanced metabolic medicine and anti-aging/ bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and is one of the most awarded physicians in the State of Florida.

tips from

for Summer

1

You spend at least 8 hours a night, tossing and turning and experts all that movement can cause your hair to tangle and be roughed up. We recommend sleeping on a silk pillowcase.

This results in less friction because of the smooth surface and ensures less breakage, keeping hair healthy and smooth.

2

Sneak in your own hair treatment here and there. Add just a half teaspoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to your favorite deep conditioner and slather it onto freshly washed hair. Wrap your hair in a towel and watch your favorite show, then rinse it out. Viola~ super soft, silky hair.

HAIR TIPS

OUR

3

Use a wet brush. A wet brush, unlike most brushes is specifically designed to not snag your hair as you brush wet hair. It slides effortless through your hair, reducing breakage and helping to ensure that hair is tangle-free.

4

Do use a dry shampoo. You really don’t need to wash your hair daily. Your hair needs some of the natural oils to stay healthy and shiny‌so grab your favorite dry shampoo, apply, rub in then hit it with your blow-dryer. It will leave your hair looking freshly washed and let you get away with another day of non-washing.

Our favorite >> FRESH.HAIR A dry shampoo for the hair that removes odors, excess oil, and all your sins from the night before.

For every can of FRESH.HAIR sold, a financial contribution will be made to help reduce global carbon emissions.
