LeptiLean™ is my secret weapon for weight management. As if it were not bad enough that I need to combat cravings for sugars and starches (and yes … diet soda), even when making healthful choices there is the constant need for moderation and portion control. LeptiLean™ is an herbal and mineral supplement by AdvoCare that actually promotes a feeling of fullness and satiety and boosts the metabolism to help burn […]

I’ve told you before about my diet Coke habit. It’s crazy really, because I know it isn’t good for me … but then, life is a little crazy … and I find myself giving into the craving for the sweetness of a soda. Let me tell you about a product line we carry at Indulge Salons that has really helped me in my constant struggle to resist the cravings, drop […]

Force yourself to enjoy a glass of red wine tonight because of the health benefits … okay, maybe it won’t require any great sacrifice on my part to imbibe in a little vino this evening. Here’s the deal: red wine is considered to be good for you (in moderation of course) because it contains the antioxidant resveratrol, which is is said to slow the oxidation process that causes aging.

Last week I was telling you about “The Baby Boomer” chemical peel—one of my favorites—but promised a few posts on serious skincare treatments that aren’t quite as aggressive as chemical peels for a fresh face this spring. The Triple Enzyme Treatment has no peeling, just super clean skin. It breaks down dead skin cells and softens and polishes the skin with enzymes that lift dead skin cells instantly. The exotic […]

Last week I mentioned that our Skin Care Specialists at Indulge won’t perform chemical peels in the summer months because of the risk of burning fresh skin. But even though the calendar tells us its spring, summer sun still seems to be quite a ways off. Why not take advantage and get a peel while you still can. If you are considering a chemical peel, let me tell you about […]

Green coffee beans have been making headlines lately, touted for having natural anti-oxidant that have been linked to promoting appetite suppression, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol , enhanced energy levels, and weight loss (see a fact sheet from Dr. Oz on green coffee beans for weight loss at  www.doctoroz.com. But coffee beans are also an excellent exfoliate that promote anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects on the skin, and stimulate collagen production […]

I’m a sporadic spring cleaner. With random bursts of energy (or sometimes frustration …), I find myself tackling odd deep cleaning jobs in spurts.  Totally unplanned I’ll suddenly clean out the silverware drawer, wiping down all of the different compartments and replacing clean flatware, and then pleased with that minor accomplishment, I’ll move on to a kitchen cupboard. Anything but the plastic storage container cupboard — that’s beyond help in […]

As much as I am looking forward to spring, the blustery and bitter cold reminds me each time I go outside that it isn’t spring yet. And although I would never even consider leaving home without SPF on my face and neck, I do admit that for quick jaunts when I am getting in and out of the car and just going from here to there, I do not always […]

In the salon industry, do you know one of the very first sure signs of spring? A rush of clients scheduling skin peels (also called chemical peels). Yep, we always see a flurry of activity around this time of year of people that want a serious treatment that will help improve the pigmentation of the skin, and reduce the appearance of acne scars, mild sun damage, large pores, and fine […]
