I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you. It is scrumptious!

A friend of mine shared this with me and I thought I would try it. It has a bit of southwest flair to it and normally I don’t go to far out of my recipe box with this type of food but I did and WOW! I ate almost the whole bowl. It’s good it’s low calorie so eat up my friends.

Here it is: Corn and Avocado Salad

2 large cans of corn (Del Monte)

1 large ripe avocado

1 small red onion (I don’t use much because I don’t like bad breath however; you use as much as you want)

1 can of black beans

1 large tomato cut into small cubes

add a bunch of cilantro

add a bunch of basil (I love basil so I added a lot)

1/4 cup of virgin olive oil

2 tbsp of champaign vinegar but if you don’t have this just use your red vinegar

pinch of kosher salt

pinch of black pepper

swish it all together and you have a side dish or make it a meal and share with some friends. This tastes great on salad.

the health benefits of avocados are numerous to mention however; I will be happy to list a few

1. great for moisturizing and nourishing your skin to a healthy glow

2. aids in preventing breast cancer

3. aids in lowering blood pressure

4. has 25 essential nutrients such as vitamin A, B, C, K, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, and Potassium. Imagine eating 2-3 bananas to the equivalent of 1 avocado.

5. improves a heart because of the Vitamin B6 and folic acid this helps lower the homocysteine which is associated with heart disease. for more healthy information about Avocados go to http://www.healthonlinezine.info/health-benefits-of-avocados.html

Enjoy!! say thanks to Jayson for the recipe

Remember the movie “The 40-Year-Year-Old Virgin”, with Steve Carell  howling when the esthetician ripped off the strip with mounds of hair attached to it?

The new age male has embraced his image and his lack of enthusiasm for all of the hair that continues to expand on their bodies. The new age male really has a great desire for a smooth body that shows the rippling of his abs as he struts his stuff on the beach or the pool watching over his children. I had to say it! Our new males are dads, entrepreneurs, lawyers, bankers, mechanics, postman, and the ultimate husband with a new self image. The reason I know this is because men really express their concerns with hair growing out of their ears, their noses and in places that they just don’t like to pay attention to on a daily basis.

If your male parts are overwhelmed with hair that is out of control, it wouldn’t be unnatural to call Indulge Salon of York PA to have the esthetician provide an assessment to wax all of those areas for a clean appearance and less to manage. She does this all of the time and is an expert at it. For the creepy’s, this is not the place for you. We are a professional establishment that provides hair removal services and good advice to help our males maintain their grooming experience. If you even think for one minute to try a maneuver other than having a professional hair removal service, you will be removed immediately. Now that we have that cleared up, let’s get back to why you chose to read my blog on this topic.

Some men find it uncomfortable to ask questions about how to manage their man grooming, however; this is what we do at Indulge Salon on S. George Street, York PA. We specialize in handling these curious questions and take the uncomfortable out of the situation and have a good discussion on what their options are for the amount of hair to remove say on the back, chest, arms, legs and of course the private areas that need managed. We are not the blush type of staff. We are here to educate and provide sources and answers to your questions.  We are now facing the David Beckhams to the well built males of “Jersey Shore” that are perfectly groomed male celebrities. It’s the new masculinity era.

With so many men concerned about their overall look it should come as no surprise that waxing for men has increased. Policemen are highly concerned more than other professional industries. I know, surprising isn’t it? Professional men want to experiment with treatments below the belt with a salon that they trust. They prefer confidentiality of their needs and wants for a clean appearance. The seem to want to have a cleaner appearance to be beach ready. Awareness around the grooming for the body has certainly increased this past year. The single and younger male expects to have their eyebrows groomed and shaped every 3-4 weeks, especially if they have fast growing hair that grows into a unibrow. Brow waxing has grown for all age groups. go to
 

Overall, less hair can ENHANCE the shape and size of him. So why not? We also give some products to help stunt the hair growth after the Male Brazilian is complete. These products will reduce shaving irritation, and help manage the long term maintenance of their newly waxed skin and also prevent ingrown hairs. We use a variety of waxes such as hard wax which happens to be more gentle on sensitive skin or if it is the first time being waxed. Pricing will run from $80 – $125.00+ depending on the areas being waxed in hair density. Obviously, the more hair per square inch the more wax and skill is needed to make the hair heed to being removed. The courser the hair will require a different type of wax. Its not just about slathering on wax and ripping off the strip but the artistry required to bring shape and an expert to the table for a superb result. Bring along some reading material, some strong alcohol if you need and get ready for a clean and NEW You. She will appreciate the experience.

As you know from my previous blog regarding the type of passengers that usually end up beside me or around me, they have gaseous output that can make me have an unpleasant experience in my travels. Let me share today’s experience with you……

I have this thing that happens to me when I travel that compels me to look at everyone’s hair or how they look because it’s my job to know fashion and what is going on out there in the world. Let me tell you IT AINT GONE ON! for a York County response. I haven’t seen so many ungroomed, messy, smelly and unpolished individuals that ranged from 30 – 50’s. It was gross and down right disturbing that people walk around this way with an unkempt appearance. Roots showing from hair color is over the top for this girl. I mean when I have to look twice then you know this is a problem. The wrong hair color for the skin tone. Some of the people had fallen victim to whomever called themselves a stylist. What a shame. Although, I will give some kudos to the dark skinned beauty that had a sea foam green fabulous stylist dress with minimal accessories. Her hair was dark and poofed out and on her it looked great. She herself was well groomed and I chose to sit beside her while I waited for the plane to show up. That is another story for another day. I’m telling you me and traveling just don’t hit it off like trying to figure out nursing schedules. Just doesn’t happen. So America, we have some work to do on a polished image. I don’t want to hear how you have to get up early and catch your plane! There is absolutely no excuse for those outfits that ended up on your body. Try planning ahead, try putting some effort into a makeup application that looks appealing and for goodness sake where clothes that fit appropriately. I have seen more than enough if you know what I mean. Even if you think you look like the girls in the magazine and believe me I do agree with a strong self image but WOW! Shazamazoo.. Rethink the outfit and it’s ok to comb the hair. Really.

On a positive approach here to this experience, I flew into Atlanta Georgia to perform a workshop with our good manager, Shane. check out his bio on www.indulgesalon.com. He is very experienced with formulations of color and has a funny sense of humor. Anyway, he had a model that was so pretty and professional and dare I say well groomed. Yes, she had the image of a professional. I’m going to give a shout out to my new friend Allison. She came in with some brown hair and left with a Cococaba French Balayage technique that places the highlights from the middle of the hair to the ends of the hair. The appearance is very natural looking. Then we toned her hair to a soft caramel look and Shane gave her a super haircut. Look for Allison on our facebook page under IndulgeSalon. She was a pleasure to talk with and she actually had something to say.  Thanks Allison!

To wrap up this tale, I am very pleased that my co captains of the ride did not exhibit and expel natural gaseous toxins and both were very well groomed and polished individuals. This was a wonderful ending to my day. Thank s to all.
