Shielding the Sun With SPF 30

The sun.

Warm. Comforting. Aging.

The summer months are some of the best months in the year. Family vacations to unforgettable places, outdoor adventures, swimming, gardening,and the list goes on and on. Our days revolve around the outdoor opportunities available to us May through August. Soaking up the sun isn’t always the best choice, but in order to protect your beautiful skin from the sun’s aging rays, be sure to shield your skin with Rhonda Allison’s Broad Spectrum Daytime Defense SPF30 available at Indulge Salon.  From Rhonda Allison’s article, she states “where chemical sunscreens absorb UV light and convert rays into heat, Daytime Defense is a physical sunscreen which reflects UV light. Blocking 97% of UV rays and using an organic physical block of Zinc Oxide, this ultra refined complex is a natural, chemical-free sun barrier with an elegant base of potent herbs and extracts which reduces inflammation and trans-epidermal water loss.

Daytime Defense protects skin from environmental stress and pollutants

• Provides a natural, chemical-free barrier for protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays
• Supplies skin non-irritating, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant support
• Helps skin retain moisture – nourishing and conditioning skin all day
• Contains healing properties for soothing support
• Re-mineralizes skin leaving it supple and  hydrated”

Adding this Daytime Defense to your daily routine will prevent your skin from aging prematurely. For more skin care information, please schedule a free consultation with our skin care expert at Indulge Salon.

The Perfect Consultation

I bet you thought that there was only one kind of salon consultation

–the kind where you walk in, pick a color, and hope your stylist knew exactly what you wanted.

 

Experience the Perfect Indulge Consultation: We give an assessment of your hair texture in order to give you the proper recommendation on products and color choices for best results while choosing hair colors that complement your skin tone. This approach gives you long lasting natural results without all of the maintenance that usually comes with foil highlights. If you desire to have your natural color changed either darker or lighter an additional service charge is appropriate and can be added first before the highlights are applied. We evaluate your face shape and skin tone in order to properly recommend the best blends to show off your beauty. We go over pricing to ensure we’re staying within your beauty budget.

Our highly trained, specialized stylists are committed to staying current with trends. We regularly train with national educators, inviting them into our salon to teach the latest techniques. We do this to give you, our customers, the very best results.

So, if you find yourself getting the mediocre salon consultation, please, give Indulge Salon a try. Give us a call today. 717-846-4424 or 717-718-4465.

Cheers!

Everything you need to know about 2013 Spring/Summer Fashion Trends

As we truck through the last months of winter, we look forward to the bright bold colors of Spring/Summer Fashion trends for 2013.

It seems that top fashion designers dare us to actually sport those couture favorites on the runway out in the real world. Thankfully, we can take inspiration from their creations and drop it into our own styles.  Vogue has created an A-Z list for this year’s 2013 Spring/Summer fashion trends. Picture bold graphics, crops, bomber jackets, flowers, iridescents, sneaks with dainty dresses, mesh, neon colors, bright pencil skirts, and a touch of asian inspiration. Check out this link to see for yourself. The only question now is, which trends do you like the best and which will you sport? Comment below to tell us!

 

Four Food Fads That Can Make You Fat!

We often ponder what we can get away with when it comes to dieting, exercise, and eating the right foods for weight loss or better health. Yesterday, Yahoo.com posted a great article,”4 Trends That Will Make You Fat!”, that talked about the trends that many of us are misunderstanding for healthy food choices.  I thought that the article was extremely enlightening, and believe that you will gain some insight into the marketing campaigns the food industry is implementing. Let me know what your thoughts are!

“FAT TREND #1: Food Companies Labeling Everything “Natural”

A 2011 Rodale study found that 28 percent of Americans purchased more natural foods this year. No wonder producers are slapping the “natural” claim on everything they can. Frito Lay, for instance, slapped “all natural” on half its snacks this year. The problem? There are no regulations on the “natural” claim. Case in point: A 2011 Cornucopia Institute study found pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in a variety of “natural” cereals. Another downside of “natural” products: They can lead consumers to ignore nutrition labels. Butter, salt, and lard are natural. So are poison ivy, arsenic, and flash floods. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

FAT TREND #2: Restaurants Sneaking Extra Fat into Their Food

The next time you see “stuffed” on a menu, think “gobs of molten cheese poised to inflate my waistline.” Consider these debuts: Domino’s Stuffed Cheesy Bread (150 calories per piece), Dunkin’ Donuts’ Stuffed Breadsticks (200 calories per piece), and Burger King’s limited-release Jalapeno & Cheese Stuffed Steakhouse burger (930 calories with a small order of fries). And that’s in addition to the 1,510-calorie Provolone-Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine that Applebee’s released last year! If these things continue to sell, expect to see more imitators in 2012. As a general rule, if you see “stuffed,” stay away.

FAT TREND #3: Menus Calling Meals “Snacks”

Since 2007, food items with snack, snackable, or snacker in their names have increased by 170 percent. Your restaurant may call it a “snack,” but your dietician would call it “dinner.” This year Dunkin’ Donuts debuted a menu of snacks that includes a 400-calorie, cheese-flavored Bagel Twist, and McDonald’s added the Angus Chipotle BBQ Bacon Snack Wrap. That’s a snack with nearly half-day’s saturated fat. But snacking done right can be healthy: A recent Nutrition Journal study found that nutritious snacks promote weight loss. The key word here is nutritious. Fruit and nuts are snacks, but a BBQ cheeseburger wrapped up like a burrito? Not so much.

FAT TREND #4: Chains Serving Up Salt-Soaked “Health” Foods

Last January, the USDA released new dietary guidelines, calling for a maximum daily sodium intake of 2,300 mg for some and 1,500 mg for others. Apparently, restaurants missed the memo, because they continue to salt-load their menus—even those special menus advertised as healthy. Half of Ruby Tuesday’s “Fit & Trim” items contain more than 1,000 mg, as do IHOP’s “Simple & Fit” pancake combos. The items on Chili’s’ “Guiltless Grill” menu average 2,175 mg, and Applebee’s’ new Weight Watchers Chipotle Lime Chicken packs a staggering 4,990 mg. Healthy? Hardly.”

I know now to look out for these four food fads that can easily trick you into thinking they are healthy options. What is your opinion?
