Good manners never go out of style, although I think a refresher course in what to bring to a hostess would be in order. As a hostess, we work very hard to give an enjoyable experience to our friends and family. I know what it’s like to receive and to give a gift. Makes you feel warm and cozy.

Small gifts are appreciated. Something simple that is personal means a lot.

Soap, lotion, simple card says thank you in big ways. The appreciation of acknowledging the work that goes into hosting a gathering is not a small thing. The cost of hosting an event, the planning of the event, the choosing of foods, the experience of the people attending all are important. Like Thanksgiving or Christmas we look forward to the smells, the traditional plates and accessories that all show up at the holidays.

Traditional gifting with small gifts of appreciation is expected.

Alex Crawford, the editor of Lather, Scrubbed & Loved Magazine has really removed all of the clutter and got to the point of

some great topics that will help you with daily living habits which will increase your level of living by preventing potential stroke, preventing cancer by eating these certain foods and how to eat them, and lastly ways to eliminate acne. If acne is not managed, over the years scarring can take the place. 

Here are some of the great reads to implement: 

3 Beach Bag Must Haves – what’s in your beach bag?

Fight Disease with Olive Oil – I found this article really informative

Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese – I made this and it was delicious!

Plant Therapy – Cannabis Sativa – Pot without the delirium. If this were available like it is today, I would have implemented this for my son Carson. I believe this is helpful. See what  you think and let us know after you read it.

Beating Joint Blues with BLU – a new treatment that you can do at home to clean out and brighten acneic skin.

Did you know that we subject our children to potential danger taking them to the beach?

Most cancer stems from being exposed to the direct sunlight at the beach, the pool and anywhere that skin wasn’t exposed without sunscreen. The heat and UVA and UVB direct rays are so harmful that the sensitive skin could be starting already before the age of 10 due to sun exposure. Use sunscreen that has an SPF 30 or above.

Sunscreen only works when it is applied multiple times during the sun exposure. If you are in the water it will go away except now we are killing fish with the sunscreens. I was recently at Fenwick Island which was heavenly during my stay with friends.

I used to stay hours from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. just laying in the sun or swimming in the water. Not anymore, I have to dive under the canopy to take a reprieve from the intense heat. My feet were screaming because the sand was so hot. I had sunscreen, I had moisturizer and I still got burnt because I didn’t reapply right away. I fell asleep and my back and shoulders are sore to the touch. Looking around to the other beach goers, I was stunned to see that they brought their dogs. Some big dogs and some little dogs. I was looking for water bowls and didn’t see any. I was looking for the babies and their mamas to put on sunscreen. I hope they did because I had to look away. Knowing what I know about preventing cancer at such an early age with babies and children could be dangerous for those babies. 

Guinot Sun Logic Anti-Ageing Sun Cream SPF 30 protects and repairs sun damaged skin.

This advanced sunscreen prepares skin for sun exposure, protects during sun exposure and repairs afterward. The powerful sunscreen prevents photoaging and protects against blue light exposure while also infusing skin with anti-aging ingredients. Arnica balances capillaries and elastin while vegetable-derived melanin protects from blue light. Elastoprotectin, extracted from witch hazel, prevents the breakdown of tissues to protect elastin fibers and prevent wrinkles. Protect your skin against aging and sun damage with Guinot Sun Logic Anti-Ageing Sun Cream SPF 30 – $43.00 Smells like orange sickle.

All sunscreen should be applied BEFORE you hit the beach, AFTER you get out of the water, BEFORE you go to bed or go out for the night to prevent damage. We use two types of sunscreen that we agree with:

Rhonda Allison Daytime Defense SPF 30 – excellent for moisturizing and for protection from UVA and UVB – A great daily daytime defense with UV protection of SPF 30. Protects your skin from environmental damage and provides soothing and moisturizing benefits throughout the day. Broad-spectrum sunscreen for your face and neck helps provide the best in antioxidant protection. Recommended for all skin types. $23.00

All of our sunscreens are available at our Indulge Salon 970 S George St, York Pa 17403  or Call 717.846.4424 or Georgia location at 1104 market st, Greensboro, GA 30642

I could give you the roadmap to the thicker fuller hair in a few short sentences but you know me, I have to explain it to you so that you understand what it takes to grow your hair.

One of the essential changes in hair as you shed hair, lose hair or it started thinning to the point you have to do something about it NOW. You know we are impatient and want it to grow out like playdough hair or a chia pet hair. I wish…

Since this doesn’t happen unless it might be a side effect from medications which does happen or you just started to thin out all of a sudden take a look at the changes in your hormones, testosterone changes for both men and women. Check what you put in your mouth.

Follow the 4 ways to thicker fuller here:

1. If your hair is strong enough, introduce some babylight highlights that will make your hair thicker and fuller.  You can add lowlights and highlights however the goal is to fatten up your hair which bleach or high lift blondes do. Balayage highlights are beautiful but it won’t give you the natural fullness you need at the top of your head as much as it will the bottom of your hair. A semi permanent hair color will blend your hair, plump it for 6 weeks then you will be back where you were with fine limp hair. Some color will have protein in it that lasts and will plump the hair without the permanent result of color allowing the color pigments to gradually wash out or fade out. The spend could be from 65.00 – 175.00 depending on your length of hair and which type of color service you choose. Save $15 off your very first visit with us here.

2. Color your plate with colorful foods that are rich in Vitamin K such as Kale, Spinach, Green beans, Okra and Collard Greens. The more bright hues on your plate the healthier your foods for your body. Everything you put into your body will eventually come out through your nails (hard as nails) and the protein in your hair. The more potassium leafy greens and red fruits and vegetables like watermelon and tomatoes (think lycopene anti-aging) keeps  your skin looking younger, fights free radicals in the skin, cleans out your guts with the raw foods. Even though carrots have natural sugar, they are excellent for

healthy recipes for fuller thicker hair

our eyes and yams are better than potatoes which have way to much start in them naturally. For some good reads on vegetables in depth check these resources click here or check out some of the amazing articles that Women’s Health Magazine Jan-February 2017. According to nutritionist Ali Miller, R.D., author of Naturally Nourished she said when you uptake your blood sugar balancing fiber (oatmeal), energizing B vitamins mood stabilizing minerals like magnesium and anti-inflammatory antioxidants – nutrients often stripped away in processing and refining. (this is the bad part)Results will come quickly: A recent study found that 9 days on a meal plan low in fructose (soda sugar, juices, and many processed foods) cut levels of liver fat by 20 percent. Frankly, I wouldn’t have thought of the fat in the liver as much as fat around the belly. Ms Ali made a good point for us to  remember. https://www.mynewroots.org/cookbook/Sara Britton

3. Proper hair products that are designed to make your hair fuller thicker immediately and GROW YOUR HAIR. If you have baby fine hair it will grow. If you have baldness it will not, the hair is already dead.  We have seen the results from this Treatment shampoo and conditioner first hand. I’ve been using these products since April 2017 and my hair has grown back in by October 2017. My hair was shedding to the point that it was getting concerning with all of the hair collecting in my brush. the area around my temples was getting thinner and thinner. After I started doing the treatments

Collagen helps grow hair. Available at Indulgepureoriginals.com/collagenblu or walk into Indulge Salon York pa

and the Density spray, my hair grew quickly and after 2 weeks my hair wasn’t falling out. I used the Collagenblu daily to supplement the protein as I discussed above. The additional protein was helpful. My hair loss was from stress and possibly not eating a well balanced diet. After 3 – 6 week period, my scalp was incredibly itchy which I didn’t think about my hair growing back in that quickly. I didn’t know what to expect but then I realized and felt the little nubs coming out of the top of my scalp. This is normal. Some of my clients felt this same thing others didn’t but still all of the clients that use this regime have experienced their hair growing back. We all say the same thing, “it works – I love shampooing my hair” Certainly can’t argue with what works.

4. Get moving with a jog, some physical activity to reduce the stress. It’s been proven that the more you move your body and bowels, the less toxic your body will be, the less stress will prevent robbing your body of essential nutrients that make your hair thin out. Add a Probiotic supplement to your diet to help get those intestines working at full capacity. You aren’t getting anywhere with the bloat from sitting around eating bad fast food, diet drinks loaded with sodium and essentially the burgers and fries just rot in your

gut with nowhere to go. Lifting weights, running, walking using some light weights may be effective for you to move the blood in your body. The oxygen that gets pumped through your body also reduces the stress related symptoms that can occur. The benefits outweigh the annoyance of getting started especially if you are able to see your body change in a positive way.

Visiting family and friends? Bring your best Thanksgiving recipe to blow them away! As you know, being a hostess comes with many preparations like cleaning the house, meal preparation, buying the food, the presentation and theme of the table and making sure that all of your guests on the list are still coming to your dinner. One of my favorite thanksgiving recipe’s is one of our family’s  favorites.  Captain Russell’s Sweet Potato Casserole is my son’s favorite dish.  He would smack his lips with mouth watering waiting for momma to give him a spoonful. Priceless. We have no idea where the name came from but we do know that we love it.

Thanksgiving recipes are family traditions that we know to come and love. The expectations of turkey, filling, and the fixin’s Give this side dish a whirl. I promise this will make them clamor for more! . It’s creamy, sinfully rich with a bit of sweet and a surprising crunch. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. This Thanksgiving recipe is a “go to” to take along. It will be the hit of the meal. This meal can be made a head 1-2 days if necessary however; their is no guarantee that the topping will still be on it for the next day meal.

Captain Russel’s Sweet Potato Casserole

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

3 cups of Sweet Potatoes – boil the sweet potatoes until soft. Once soft let cool down.

1 cup of sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup melted butter

Grease the sides of the  casserole dish with butter.

Alexandria Acworth Crawford (sister) with her brother Carson Grey McCord

Mix – all of the above ingredients together and blend with blender like mashed potatoes. Taste it for creaminess or just because you are curious.

Once mixed pour into the greased casserole dish.

Topping:

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup flour mix these together until fine.

Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup melted stick of butter.

Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.

Bake 30  minutes.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene). They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus.

Google search says: The high amount of dietary fiber, the low calorie content, and the high amount of water, all work together to make sweet potatoes a great food if you are trying to lose weight. One of the main ways that sweet potatoes can help you lose weight is due to their high amount of dietary fiber. … Next, fiber is slow digesting. Each sweet potato runs about 100 calories vs the white potato 400-500. 

High water content helps fill your stomach therefore preventing you from over eating on the holidays. Between the high fiber and the water content, this is one great addition to the weight loss food list. No guilt here.

Even when the hostess doesn’t expect anything, she (he) will still appreciate the thought. We have a couple of inexpensive ideas for the your hostess that says:

“thank you, I didn’t have to cook tonight”

“thank you for inviting us”

“you are special, thank you for all that you”

Other ideas:

1. Indulge Pure Originals Body Butter Lotion Bar to moisturize her skin after she has been doing dishes. $10 – $12
   

   Indulge Pure Originals Cocoa Butter Gold Bar moisturizing lotion

2. Indulge Pure Originals Ultimate Moisture
3. candles
4. Indulge Pure Originals soaps

From our family to yours Happy Thanksgiving! Stay posted for more Thanksgiving ideas.

The post Indulge Salon Owner shares her favorite Thanksgiving recipe appeared first on Salon York PA - Indulge Salon.

My daughter is not in the beauty industry. She works for one of the top professional golfers in the U.S during the day. She is a mother of twins and a wife. Sounds like enough doesn’t it ? Tired already. Not much different than your day right. Like many of us, we have a secret to be our personal best in what we are passionate about.

Alex Acworth Crawford is passionate about Crossfit. WODS, throwing weights up with snatches, dead lifts, and clean and jerks. I don’t really understand all of these terms but I do understand her incredible drive to achieve her personal best. Her highest weights of 240 lbs for a clean and jerk. I get the struggles to not get the weight up one day and the next day she over achieves in body form.

Alex Acworth Crawford achieved her personal best today!

One day a few months ago she told me that she is going to compete. I said alright do it! She set the date for July 30, 2016. Her first set was 11:00 a.m. We were excited that she chose to do this event in Atlanta, GA. The Georgia Games was the event she and her husband were driving early  when I called to see how she was doing. She was a little nervous but that she expected this since it was a weightlifting event. Our conversations were about never know unless you do it and then you will know next time what to experience.

In that moment, I started reflecting back when she was in high school working out at the gym. Then after college she started getting into the high intensity workouts, then she was supplementing to make her body even more lean (mind set dedication). Her husband supports her with being her best by giving her advisement because he is a fitness professional (mentoring).  He encourages her daily to get her best workout in and she does him.

In Texas, she was hanging out (the crowd matters) with Crossfit people that expected to be their best and push each other as a team. Every team member mattered when competing. Alex hired a weightlifting coach to define her body (coach). I remember she told me she loved it and would come out of the workout all sweaty and loved every minute of it (worth the sacrifice). During the course of her passion, she has remained dedicated by sending me her workouts that are documented celebrating her best wins of the day. To date she is a winner in her own life and has built on her successes. I couldn’t be more prouder than I am of her, my daughter.

This experience is not unusual to any of us in any other industry or field of interest. We are are unsure at first at our first job. First client, first time answering the phone as a professional in a business. First training then put it to use. We mature as we “experience” the patterns of winning in our fields. Success doesn’t come easy. We learn our products then apply them. We wrap our lifestyle around our successes. We build on these patterns or experiences that we put in front of ourselves to achieve our personal best. The more we do the more confident we feel. That confidence turns into PUSHING ourselves to new heights in our levels of achievement. Training, education and mentoring helps us get where we want to go in our minds. Mindset is 90% of what we achieve the rest is phsyical doing it.

My daughter sent me this amazing photo of her smile of achievement. She didn’t know how she would end up but I can tell you that when my daughter sets her mind to something, it happens. She came in 3rd place with her weight class! She achieved her personal best out of 3 trys in each section. The point is she achieved HER personal best not someone elses. She had twins 1 year ago which is accomplishment in itself being a mother and as driven as she is I was already proud. Mostly, I’m proud because she knows what she can achieve for trying and experiencing her passion. Love you Alex Acworth Crawford!

Appreciate your professional administrative secretary that has helped you get the job done in your business.  They certainly are working with deadlines, making phone calls, appointments for clients, patients, residents, other vendors, making sure your typing is done, grammar is correct, filing, and having to listen to you talk about how much work you have to get done while they are faciliating “getting the job done.”

I’ve been working closely with my front desk salon coordinators on a mammoth project that doesn’t seem to end. We celebrate with high fives when we get through minimal phases. We are updating our salon software that has exposed every single inconsistency from a standard version that wasn’t a problem before but now is a glaring light beam.Once “we” get  this problem cleaned up, it will be smooth sailing for all of our front desk coordinators, our customers, and for me. I can’t wait. Frankly, I don’t have the time in a day to get this done myself. I truly appreciate all of the efforts from my team to get this project off our task list.

Alex T. Front desk coordinator at our East Market location

As a business owner, I speak for all owners and managers, we get caught up in the big picture of our business operations that we are not considering all of the secretaries, adminstrative professionals that help us clean up our brilliant ideas.

I admit that when these problems are exposed, our administrative professionals really want to tell us, “I’ve been telling you about this for months.” Well, this day on April 27, 2016 is all about celebrating you for telling us and we didn’t listen. I’ll say that we want to listen and we actually do, its just that we prioritize these things until they become a priority. This whole idea of honoring Adminstrative Professionals is about appreciation of all the hardwork they do for us.

Who created Administrative/Secretary’s Day?

National Professional Secretaries Week and National Secretary’s Day was created  in 1952 through the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of Young and Rubicam. Klemfuss recognized the importance and value of the position to a company or business. His goal was to encourage more women to become secretaries. Using his skill and experience in public relations, Klemfuss, promoted the values and importance of the job of secretaries. In doing so, he also created the holiday in recognition of the importance of secretaries.

The name of this special day has changed and evolved over the past few decades. But, the importance of recognizing these vital individuals remains. The two new terms in use today are: “Administrative Professionals” and “Executive Admins”. The two names sometimes mean different roles and responsibilities in different companies and organizations. Both are broader terms, that encompass more positions than the original “Secretary” role.

The name change recognizes and acknowledges that the role has changed significantly since 1952, and for the better at that. In Harry Klemfuss’ day, these positions were the realm of women. Today, you find males in these positions. Being a secretary was a prestigious position in the 50’s. Now, it’s more of a business position with clout and the “gatekeeper” to the owner.

The most common ways of recognizing your Administrative Professional(s) today are:

• Flowers
• Cards, often with shopping gift certificates
• Indulge Salon gift cards from $25 – $100
• Take them to lunch
• Candies
• Assorted Gift Baskets
• Starbucks gift cards
• Indulge Pure Originals moisturizing lotion, creams, body butter bar
• Facial, manicure,
• Rose Petal Pedicure this month only $35  here

I want to thank all of my administrative front desk coordinators for all of their hardwork, loyalty and for putting up with my crazy ideas and for making Indulge Salon look good. Alex, my daughter for helping me from behind the scenes, Alex T for making sure our new customers get their information being liason to staff and customers, Melissa for social media management and the other stuff you do behind the scenes, Carol for being an awesome trainer, fill in when someone gets sick, changing light bulbs and correcting my grammar when it doesn’t make sense, Becca for being “all that and more” front desk, colorist, fill in where needed,  Amanda for being that management glue and liason, Sarah for putting up with all our training to be manager, and Paris for being a liason to our clients and positive outlook on life. You guys rock!

Indulge Salon York Pa, Indulge Salon Lake Oconee mentions Avril Lavigne and her fight

She is absolutely beautiful even though she is coming out of a tough health crisis. She opened up about her devastating disease that kept her bedridden for months, no energy, barely could eat and just want to sleep.

One of my friends from years ago was bitten by a nasty tick that left her face with some paralysis. She is beautiful and had experienced some of the same things that Avril had. My friend changed her eating habits to a total vegetarian experience. Both of these ladies didn’t know what was wrong when they were going through this with some X-rays and MRI’s that were showing symptoms of MS. Lyme’s disease is from a tick that shows the same results on the X-rays.

Not knowing what is wrong without knowing a definitive answer is lonely, depressing and frustrating for women/men dealing with the symptoms daily. Fatique is the biggest challenge with achy muscles that won’t hold you up can be like a wet blanket laying heavy on your body that you can’t move away from. Thankfully hope is out there.

New methods such as pumping body full of antibiotics, sugar free diet, diary free and gluten free. They both had gone organic with their diet.

For more information contact Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Interesting facts and symptoms manifesting as the flu or MS. Over 25000 Americans were diagnosed in 2013. As Dr. Erica Lehman, a tick-borne-disease specialist says it is “the fastest – growing epidemic in the world” and the number of cases is underestimated because of the factors including imperfect testing and misdiagnosed symptoms similar to Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and lupus. Check out www.Lymedisease.org and cdc.gov/lyme. I want to thank Nicole Sands for sharing this information to keep all of us informed.

Where to start. Hmm first of all I get up in the morning and not in the least bit motivated to workout to the new PIYO which is pretty intense. Usually I like that workout but not this morning. I woke up grouchy. I warned everyone but they still came around me. I forewarned them. Just saying. The blinking red light that surrounded me should have said “danger, danger”

I drove to work, no accidents to speak of except some chick was in front of me with a car load of people that took forever to order and get their food. Don’t they know that the person behind them is in a rush to get to work and we don’t have time to lollygag around? Of course not, she had to PONDER which item she was order for the next person in the car. Being in my grouchy mood, I just did the hands opening posturing thing in hopes that she would speed along the order. Not today, it was a lazy kind of morning for her taking her good all time. Finally, I received my beverage and sped away to work.

As soon as I get to work, I was in a better place so I thought. The manager gives me the low down that the computer is still not up from yeserday but the electric is on. Such positive news after the bad. Nice positioning. The owners of the building told us that the electric would be out since they were working on the building. Great!!!! (sarcastic response here)

Computer guy on the shiny white horse picks up the server and says he has to do a diagnostic back at his office. I think to myself, we can’t make appointments, we can’t call people and we are up the shitter without a paddle. Going against the stream I might say. NOBODY knows who is coming or going at any of our locations for the next few days. Just what every salon owner dreams of….this type of back up plan. Needless to say, the clock battery that helps us stay on the imaginery schedule broke at 9:30 a.m. I mean it gets better as the day goes on. (sarcastic) We brought a table in that is super heavy and of course I expected it to be put together because I have a meeting on Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m. However; the best news of the day indicated that the screws that were to be used are not the correct ones even though that was put into the table to keep it together. Now, I must adjust the meeting time and place. You know what I’m talking about with one more thing to do and to finalize the day, I received a note whilst working on a client that the school had a message for me about my son’s schooling.

Computer guy says MAYBE thursday. Uh, ugh that isn’t going to work for us cowboy. We have payroll this week. To all the business owners out there you know what I’m talking about. Our team made it work today with the walkins and we are wondering what time their appointment is as we stand at the desk with the deer in headlights look,  but we say no problem come  back to the magic area. We knew that we could work it out, its just the not knowing whom is showing up today. I was lucky I could get my mind to show up this morning. My body did and eventually the two did connect as one by 9:35 a.m. after the clock broke.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I hope you have a fun filled adventurous day!

Kimberly

Learn to celebrate working with people instead of just expecting others to make you happy. Each of our staff members bring a uniqueness to the team. The manager in the center of the fun makes sure that each of our girls on South George Street enjoy coming to work. You will always hear her planning a get together or next thing you know she is bringing in cupcakes with fabulous frosting with sprinkles! Who wouldn’t want to enjoy working in this environement? Or cinnamon gummy fish that find there way into your mouth in the back room. The team enjoys being together with all locations from East Market Street too! Being close is about depending on each other for the good and the not so good days.

I hope you are as fortunate as I am to have an amazing staff like this.
