A secret gem found!

For many there is no one more special than our moms, in fact many of us will refer to our mothers as a Gem; someone who is valued for their beauty or perfection - a person held in great esteem or affection!

Celebrate your mom's “beauty” today for whatever it is that makes her beautiful.

It seems appropriate to introduce a new secret to Kelowna if you have not already heard the buzz about Little Jems. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but of course a few accessories can do no harm. Why not accessorize to achieve that complete finished look?

Little Jems is designed and handmade by Leisa in her studio, using recycled Fine Silver, (.999FS) and a nice balance of new and traditional silver-smith techniques. No two pieces are exactly the same. Leisa’s studio is in Kelowna and is essentially chemical free; all of the silver is recycled. Did you know a portion of her annual sales are happily donated to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Victoria General Hospital on Vancouver Island?

Jewelry is an enhancement to every beautiful woman!!

Beauty Tip of the Week

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the human body? Just like every other organ in our body, it requires nutrients. Let’s start with prober skin care. So what’s proper skin care? There are 3 basic steps. 

1. Cleanse and Condition
2. Hydrate and Tone
3. Moisturize and Revive

You can help your skin by using good quality skin care products. A Microdermabrasion (www.flawlessmicroderm.com ) will also allow proper penetration of your products.

I have recently discovered a professional product called Matis ~paris. This product line offers a wide range of professional skin care lines for all ages and skin types. I am currently using the Response line, cleanser, toner and the Response corrective moisturizer with hyaluronic performance. After three weeks of using this product my skin feels great, looks hydrated and is glowing.

You can find the Matis line at Excel Spa. Treat yourself to a day at their newly designed spa. Excel Spa specializes in hair, skin and body care. www.excelspa.com

 

Mothers enjoy your day!!!

Here is a verse I would like to share from my sons; although a few years ago, it always touches my heart! Have a beautiful Mothers Day…..

MOM:

“Mom your true beauty on the inside shows on the outside. I can see with each glance you give me. That sparkle in your eye shows the love and passion towards me.

Your are perfect, there is nothing I would change, and there is nothing I could change because when I see you, you light up the dark nights and put passion in my life and love in my soul. Without a doubt you are a gold medalist for loving moms. When you think it couldn’t get any better it does – it does, a diamond in the rough showing elegance and beauty that is you with everything you do.

You are there for me when I am down, there for me when I am up. But most importantly you are the sun, the sun that I revolve around and for that I am proud to call you Mom!”
