The Magnificent

One of the most beautiful sites in the world is real close to the home. I have lived very near here and the low country has so much history as well as culture brought from all over. Yet the land has it's own voice. She calls to the trees to grow toward her. Their relation is one of unconditional giving. Justifying the beauty of being grounded and reaching for the Sun at the same moment. This is where time stands still as it should. Save the Angel Oak and it's neighboring trees by becoming a fan on Facebook and signing the petition on the website. http://www.savetheangeloak.org/ They are magnificent and poised and they need our help.

Body, Mind & Spirit

This week I received a new brochure from the Dr. Hauschka Esthetic's department. A huge stack I might add. They describe some very important key messages:

• Dr. Hauschka treatments transform in a way no other treatment can.
• Achieving lasting beauty is a journey of the self that is best guided by the profound care and expertise of a Dr. Hauschka Esthetician.
• Dr. Hauschka signature treatment methods are time-proven; based on Elisabeth Sigmund's exceptional and integrated approach to skin health.

It is my position to promote wellness of Body, Mind and Spirit through Skin Health and Massage. I invite you explore this experience and "become the beauty you hold inside."

Katie is a honor roll student and Myrtle Beach Middle school, but she is also our very own, “Elements Day Space Model”. She is the daughter of Juli Hudson a Massage Therapist here at the spa, and has been modeling since she was 9. Now that she’s almost 13 she is ready to make it big. Her online modeling portfolio can be viewed at www.onemodelplace.com model ID 214124.
Katie was asked to join Dreamdare, Inc. to be Miss November in the “Butterfly Vixens” 2010 calendar. Proceeds from sales will benefit charities related to Spinal Cord Injury research, Cancer research, Heart disease research, Autism and Leukemia research and families in need. Calendars can be purchased online atwww.cafepress.com/butterflyvixens.
She is excited for her 1st fashion show in Columbia on Nov. 7th. The weekend after that, she will be part of the NDN Mid Atlantic Modeling Convention here in Myrtle Beach, where Casting Directors and Agents from LA, NYC, Atlanta and Charlotte will be scouting for new talent. There will be models from 8 states competing. She will do runway, present a headshot photo and a fashion photo, and then do a cold read for a commercial.
We wish her all the best…Who knows since she is using Dr Hausckha Skin Care products, she may be our Elements “face of the future”.

Happy Birthday Katie

Look Good…Feel Better®

Recently I have had the honor of volunteering my time with a free public service program for women cancer patients known as Look Good…Feel Better® It is a free, non-medical, product-neutral program offered in partnership with the American Cancer Society, the National Cosmetology Association and The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association (CTFA)Foundation.

I teach beauty techniques and tips to women cancer patients in active treatment to help them combat the appearance- related side effects of cancer treatment. I get to hang out with a bunch of ladies and play with make-up. After our last class I was given a few hugs and some very kind words from these ladies. That made my day even better.

One of the side effects that you may all know of is hair loss. This can be a tough transition for some and having some sort of head cover helps patients cope.

The American Cancer Society offers wigs, turbans and scarves to patients at no cost, yet the supplies are very low. I was told on Monday that we need more, so I have set up a collection here at the spa for them.

Here at Elements Day Space we offer make-up application to patients in active treatment at no charge as long as they bring their own make-up. I would like to do more for these women and with your help we can.

So from now until November 23, 2009 we are collecting wigs, turbans, scarves, knit/crochet hats and party hair pieces. In return for your generous donations, for any wig we will give you $30 off of any service above $50. As well as all other items donated we will give $15 off any service above $30.

Remember that this can help patients cope so foreward this letter to friends and family. You can use it towards your referral reward also.

If you have any questions about this program, location and services please call (843)839-2762

Simple Flower Recipes

By Amanda Powell

Flowers are one of nature’s best presents to us. They have a plethora of uses from wedding bouquets to plate decorations. Some are even edible.

Such as Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) Common to North America this 12­-inch-tall annual has richly colored red, orange, and yellow flowers from midsummer until the first frost. The leaves have a distinctive round shape. Nasturtium flowers have a peppery, zesty taste that can substitute for mustard in sandwiches. Add to salads or cure in vinegar. They make an attractive garnish on a plate or add color when petals are added to butter.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) Also known as pot marigold, this annual produces pale yellow to deep orange flowers atop erect, 18-inch stems. Plants bloom from late spring to midsummer, then decline in hot weather. Sow seed in early spring in full sun and well-drained soil; repeat in early July for a fall harvest. Calendula flowers have a slightly bitter flavor and are valued mostly for their color. Use petals in salads, soups, butter, rice, stews, poultry, or in tea. It is sometimes used as a saffron substitute. Dry individual petals on paper (petals shouldn’t touch each other); store in a moisture-tight container.

Even Roses (Rosa species) Flower size, fragrance, and flavor vary among the many rose species and varieties. Generally the flowers of the older types, such as rugosa roses, are the most flavorful. Roses need full sun and a rich, well-drained soil. They usually require regular watering, fertilizing, and pruning. Roses have a perfumed taste. Pick off the petals and remove the whitish, bitter base. Add to salads or make jelly.

We can use them in flower essences, and chocolates are popular to adjoin with flower waters. Commonly skin care products include flower extracts.

According to the Dr. Hauschka way the cleansing routine is a physical process while the toning routine stimulates the skin's own ability to self-cleanse. Strong and elastic pores mean proficient removal of excretions and free-radicals. For a night time routine get into the habit of cleanse, tone and leave it alone. The reason for this is to allow the skin to recuperate from our daily activities and regenerate for the next day.

Start with a cleanser to remove debris and dirt. Practice a slow and gentle cleansing to unwind. For all skin conditions the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream has sweet almond meal for a gentle exfoliation and extracts of Chamomile and St. John’s Wort for restorative and protective properties.

One of my favorites is the Clarifying Toner by Dr. Hauschka. With botanical ingredients formulated for oily and blemished skin, the nasturtium extracts lead to radiant balance. Calendula (calendula officinalis) also bestows great balance to the active lifestyle and allows the skin to be receptive to the cleansing process.

After your nightly routine settle down with a good book, a warm cup of tea and a few Rose Infused Chocolate covered strawberries. They are simple to make and scrumptious to devour.

Chocolate Infused Strawberries

1 block of Dark Chocolate

1 bottle of Rose Water

1 Basket of Fresh Picked Strawberries

Wax Paper

Double Boiler

Slow melt dark chocolate in double boiler; add Rose water to taste about 2-3 tbsp Dip strawberries in melted chocolate and place on wax paper to harden.

There are an abundance of flowers to utilize. So many recipes and uses for flowers. From the garden to the kitchen Mother Nature supplies us with numerous ingredients for health and beauty.

We have a new staff member

Just wanted to take a moment and tell you about Juli.
I have known Juli since I was in the fifth grade she is like a big sister to me.
So, five years ago she became a Licensed Massage Therapist. She was working in Upstate South Carolina and just recently moved back to Myrtle Beach.
Melissa and I are thrilled to bring her on board with us.
Starting next week she will be working with us on getting the word out about the Medical Massage and Lunch Specials.
