Greetings!

Greetings,

 

This year seems to have flown by! It's hard to believe that we're already beginning another holiday season. With Thanksgiving (and, believe it or not, Christmas!) fast approaching, I hope you can take a little time for yourself. Come visit us at Allure Spa to enjoy a relaxing body treatment or to start a series of GloMinerals Therapeutic chemical peels to rejuvenate your skin. We look forward to seeing you this month!

 

This November, I am, once again, reminded to be thankful for the many blessings God has given me. Allure Spa continues to be a thriving business with the best clients in the world. My family has faced some challenges over the last few months as my sons, Christian and Silas, are doing their best to adjust to life as freshmen...one in college and one in high school. I have been away a lot and Andy and I are looking forward to spending the holidays together as a family as we work to reconnect and support each other. Please continue to pray for us!

 

Three trips to Bangladesh this year, with two in the last two months, have been exhausting for me, but we have accomplished a great deal! Friends of the World completed its first cosmetolgy training course for orphans at the end of October and graduated nine students. Four of these young women have left the orphanage and are now receiving two months of advanced training at Persona in Dhaka, the capital city. Persona is a very successful and well-respected woman-owned chain of salons in Bangladesh. The owner has taken a special interest in the young women we trained and has committed to helping them get a start in the beauty industry. What an answer to prayer! Thank you all, again, for your support and generosity -- we could not have done this without you!

 

I wish all of you much to be grateful for a we celebrate Thanksgiving this month! 

God Bless,

Sandra Ishmael

 
6th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive
 
 
Allure Spa is hosting our 6th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive! We would appreciate any canned goods or non-perishable items that can be donated to Interfaith Social Services in the month of November! Bring the items into Allure any day before Wednesday, November 23.
 
Thank you in advance!
 
PANTRY SHELF FOOD PROGRAM

Interfaith Social Services' Pantry Shelf has been providing emergency food to families in financial distress since 1975. Last year volunteers distributed over 350,000 pounds of food to hungry families.  

 

Much of the food distributed through the pantry is donated by caring individuals, places of worship, and other organizations. The Pantry Shelf also receives meat and baked goods daily from local supermarkets. However, due to the ever increasing need for this service, more and more food must be purchased from the Greater Boston Food Bank and retail outlets. 

 

Last year this program assisted over 16,000 individuals. Please help us to continue our fight against hunger.

 

 

 

Monthly Massage Corner
 

Many women are overloaded with the perpetual to-do list and often put themselves at the bottom of that list. One way you can put yourself at the top again is to engage in self-care by getting regular body scrubs. There are various types of body scrubs, depending on your personal preferences and needs. There are also various

benefits to body scrubs, some of which you may not even be

aware of.

 

Benefit #1 -- Skin Glow

One of the biggest benefits to body scrubs, particularly the salt scrub, is the glow your skin is left with.

 

Benefit #2 -- Exfoliation

It might seem like an obvious benefit to mention, but body scrubs are a great way to exfoliate dead skin cells. This paves the way for fresh new cells to regenerate and leaves you looking and feeling fabulous.

 

Benefit #3 -- Increasing Flow

When you get a body scrub you are encouraging the natural flow of circulation and bodily fluids. When you have a professional massage therapist apply the body scrub, a massage can be incorporated. This will increase the correct circulation and flow benefits, which, in turn, will increase your immune system.

 

Benefit #4 -- Improve Cellulite

Certain types of body scrubs can actually improve the look of aging and dimpled skin from cellulite. There is no miracle cure, but it certainly won't hurt to try a body scrub that is enhanced with coffee or green tea.

 

Benefit #5 -- Relaxation

Treating yourself to a body scrub, especially when combined with a massage, is just plain relaxing. Having a body scrub done by a professional allows you to enjoy the benefits without the mess or stress.

 

Available Body Scrubs: Aromatherapy Salt Glo, Parisian Body Polish, Moor Mud and a Massage Foot Scrub that can be added to any massage   

A Healthy Balance  

 

So the countdown to Thanksgiving is right around the corner and most people are trying to figure out how to stay on track with their healthy eating habits. One Thanksgiving staple that there are a lot of questions about is turkey and the difference between white meat and dark meat. So which is healthier?  A 3.5 ounce serving of white meat has fewer calories (161) and less fat (4g) than dark meat, which has 192 calories and 8 grams of fat. So the big difference is in the amount of fat in each serving, but the real diet saboteur is the skin. A serving of white meat with the skin jumps to 194 calories and 8 grams of fat and a serving of dark meat with the skin carries 232 calories and 13 grams of fat.

Moral of the story: try to stay away from the skin!


Be Healthy. Be Balanced.
