Dear Friends,
Where has the year gone? Less than 8 weeks to Christmas and it feels like only yesterday I was thinking the Christmas decorations are in store early this year, but another year has flown by. Sometimes I feel like life is a drag race and everyone is in the race. Sometimes we need to take a step back and enjoy life. Take time to smell the flowers that are all in full bloom right now, breathe in the smell of freshly cut lawn or visit the beach and re-energise with all those negative ions. How many of us actually do it? My guess is not a lot, because we're all so busy....busy doing what? Working? Shopping? Cleaning? Last month I heard a fantastic speaker at a Business Swap breakfast and alarm bells rang inside my head! If you were dying and you got to take one of three things to the other side with you out of money, health or relationships (and this doesn't necessarily have to be a partner if you don't have one!) which one would you choose to take? Money will be useless, yet it's one of the main reasons we are all so busy so we can have more of it. Health, well that's pointless because you're dead! Relationships, I can only assume that this would be the one that most of us would choose, yet how much time in the day do we actually spend on our relationships? Relationships with friends, partners, kids, family, we all say we do but how much? I know myself, I'm guilty of it. It's only brought to light when someone says "when was the last time you spoke to your mum or sister?" I think, wow, that must have been weeks ago! Why? Because I've been busy. Too busy to take time out and enjoy the relationships that are most precious to you. Ever called a friend to organise a catch up and get the "how about in 2010?". We all get so caught up in being busy that we neglect ourselves and the opportunity to switch off occassionally and have a laugh with the people we most care about.
Where did all of this come from you may ask? With Christmas just around the corner, this is the time to not go stupid on gift buying but actually being appreciative of what we've got right here, right now. Life can change in an instant and it's too late to realise after the fact. I ask that you ring that friend or relative that you haven't spoken to in ages and enjoy spending some time with them, even if it is just over the phone. Let those people around you know that you care and put a smile on their face.
Our new Wellness Centre has been an absolute blast over the past month. Besides the roadworks out the front of our shop at the moment, not that noise has been an issue as we have double glazed windows and acoustic batts in our walls for sound proofing, we look forward to two more lanes of traffic passing by right on our doorstep in the coming weeks. On Saturday 3rd of November we welcome a new member to our team. Raymond specialises in Men's Grooming and has worked in the US and joins us with a huge amount of knowledge about the beauty industry. Raymond will cater for clients who want a male therapist who understands male grooming. Services will include back, chest, arms, abdominal, butt and eyebrow waxing as well as body clippering and for those males who are keen enough to try an eyebrow or eyelash tint. We are very pleased to welcome Raymond along with more new services.
Lisa is launching our Organic Facials, Wraps and Scrubs this month which is very exciting. If you want pure indulgence, I urge you to try one of these fabulous treatments. If you are looking for the ideal gift for someone, we now offer gift vouchers online. For your convenience, we offer gift vouchers for product purchases and for services within our clinic. Click here to shop for gift vouchers!
For those of you who have not had a chance to see our segment on Channel 9's Out and About, follow the link below to check it out. We were thrilled to be approached to be on the show and show off our new Wellness Centre. Out and About is a local program aired in the south east of Queensland featuring local attractions and places of interest.
So, for another month, enjoy catching up with friends and remember to take time out and be grateful for what we have!
Wishing you health and happiness!

Whiten Your Teeth With Strawberries
Tooth whitening is the leading dental procedure requested by people between the ages of 30 and 50. In the last 10 years alone, this procedure has exploded by 300 percent, according to The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
The problem with most current tooth-whitening products, both over-the-counter versions and those performed in your dentist’s office, is that they use hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth.
This is not your best choice because peroxide can cause your teeth to become sensitive. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide forms radical intermediates that can damage and destroy your gums and nerves.
What causes your teeth to become discolored in the first place? Tooth discoloration is caused by colored molecules such as tannins and polyphenols -- found in red wine, coffee, and tea -- which become absorbed by your tooth enamel’s surface.
Cigarettes, blueberries, and other foods that contain dark pigments can also discolor your tooth enamel, as can certain medications. Some of the staining can be removed by brushing, but over time the compounds can seep into your enamel.
If you’re looking for a safer alternative to brighten your teeth, you can try this simple trick:
- Crush one ripe strawberry and mix it with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Spread the mixture onto your teeth and leave on for five minutes.
- Brush your teeth with a little toothpaste (non-fluoride, of course) and rinse.
This natural mixture works because of the malic acid it contains, which acts as an astringent to remove some of the surface discoloration on your teeth. Though this method is perfectly safe to use on occasion, don’t use it too often (no more than once a week) because the acid could potentially damage your tooth enamel.

Himalayan Salt Lamps
A very fine saline film forms on the surface of the lamp, which is then evaporated by the heat generated by the lamp. This process of evaporation releases negatively charged ions to the atmosphere.
Salt alone of natural substances creates a negative ion release from interaction with atmospheric moisture and water. For instance, the negative ions generated at the beach by the lively air/water interaction brings renewal to the energy balance of the body. Salt Crystal Lamps work on the same principle, boosting free negative ions by as much as 300%
The balance of negative ions and positive ions around us greatly affects how we feel. When the correct ratio of positive to negative ions is achieved, we feel calmer, more alert and energised.
All of our lamps have a marble base to avoid being sprayed with insecticide when they are shipped into Australia. As salt absorbs moisture, they will also absorb the nasty insectide. Be aware of lamps with wooden bases.
Tea Lights $25.00 including free shipping
Salt Lamps From $85.00 including free shipping within Australia
