Did You Know...
That it's important to detox regularly as part of a healthy skin regimen and lifestyle? The toxins we expose ourselves to everyday create free radicals in our bodies, which contribute largely to aging, as well as to most degenerative diseases such as "hypertension, arthritis, diabetes, immunity disorders, strokes, arteriosclerosis and heart ailments". Although it's natural for us to accumulate free radicals, we must do what we can to reverse the process to stay healthy.
Exercising, eating healthy, and avoiding alcohol for a couple of weeks is a great way to naturally detox. Incorporating a detoxifying cleanse for a few days a month can help boost your detox plan. I love hot yoga/bikram yoga classes for this purpose. The amount of sweat excreted, along with the stretching and twisting of the body, is a great physical way to feel the toxins escaping. Others may recommend therapeutic massage as a great way to clean out the lymphatic system. Detox cleanses, such as Arbonne's 7-Day Body Cleanse and Herbal Colon Cleanse supplements, are great ways to help your body clean out its digestive system and boost your immune system while also improving your skin's natural detoxifying functionality and even help you lose a few pounds of toxic waste. Detox teas are a gentler way of pushing out toxins and can be consumed regularly without irritation (check out Arbonne's Daily Detox Tea). After a few days of detoxing, you'll feel energized, refreshed, and probably a few pounds lighter!

Holiday 2010 Showcase!
The holidays are just around the corner, and we're fortunate to have a great selection of holiday items for gift giving from Arbonne! Before the holidays get rolling, I'm having an Open House on Thursday October 14th at 6:30pm so that you can come and try out all the new holiday products, as well as a few new products that they introduced on October 1st! Come by to try the new Anti-Aging Cellular Renewal Masque, or one of the new FC5 masks: deep cleansing or intense hydration. You can also enjoy a Pampermint Foot Treatment that evening. A light dinner will be provided. Please RSVP via email or phone to receive a special gift! Bring a guest and you both get a gift! There will also be a clearance section of old favorites, as well as special discounts for all orders placed that night only.
