Post Paris - our neighbors are at risk

I was happy to find out family and friends were unharmed after recent horrible violence in Paris. Not everyone was so lucky. As I continue to keep Paris' citizens and visitors in my prayers I learned of another group also affected.

Look for the heroes, they should be our focus

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE FESTIVITIES

Today, we were doing our last minute planning for this Saturdays 10 year anniversary party and fundraiser for our local chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities. At first I couldn't believe that much time had passed.

My sister and I went over the time line and realized she was not yet pregnant with my delightful 8 year old nephew when she helped set up our Grand Opening. We checked our grand opening invitation and sure enough we had our grand opening on Oct 8th 2005.

4 ways to bring beautiful art into your life!

INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART

Saturday January 31st is "Inspire Your Heart with Art" day. This wonderful unofficial holiday celebrates art and its impact in your life. The great thing about art is that it comes in many forms. Here are 4 ways you can get involved and bring beautiful art in your life. 

Pompeii Jewelry Exhibit 12-31-14

CREATE, ADMIRE, INSPIRE AND SHARE.

1. Create 

You don't need to be an artist to have fun creating art. You can get your friends or the kids in your life involved too. Craft a card, make a sculpture, paint a picture or create beautiful photographs. 

2. Admire 

There are many types of art and we have a wide variety of museums, playhouses and musical venues in Los Angeles. I liked the Pompeii exhibit at California Science Center. Which ones are your favorite?

3. Inspire

Inspire someone else's heart. Share your art creations, have them join you at your favorite show or take a walk together around the neighbourhood and photograph the public art and architecture.

4. Share

We forget how much art exists in Los Angeles so lets share inspire each other. Share your pics on instagram this week and #inspireyourheartwithart.

All of us at #tuscanyskinspa are looking forward to seeing your pics.  Follow us on Instagram @tuscanyskinspa. 

So how did you Inspire your Heart with Art this Week?

Happy Thanksgiv-mas and Spa Holiday Hours



Our lil' helper at Tuscany Spa

It is official, I heard my 1st Christmas song this morning. Of course my driving suffered as I stared at the radio in shock, because it makes perfect sense to expect visual confirmation from an audio device. Sheesh. Dragging my eyesback to the road I sat in stunned silence as Andy Williams sang to me about dreaming of a white Christmas. Sorry Andy, but us Californians are just happy to see a bit of snow on the mountains. Three cheers for ending the drought.

As I write this, it is 6 weeks before the Christmas music ends and we have already broken out the holiday decorations at the spa - my cute little nephew was helping his grandma. But with less than 2 weeks before Thanksgiving we are focusing on our Thankfulness. When asked, Alison said she is thankful ...

Tuscany Spa's SUPPORT OUR SOLDIERS drive.

Thanksgiving is a time for us to remember all that we have to be thankful for, our friends, family, co-workers, neighbors. Its also a time to remember our soldiers who are still overseas and can use some encouragement, especially during the holiday season when they are far from home.
So to inspire, encourage and support our soldiers we are having a SUPPORT OUR SOLDIERS drive.

Alison, RN/Esthetician at Tuscany Spa Skin and Body Clinic has sent dozens of care packages to our soldiers this year. Through Books for Soldiers she has sent out health and fitness magazines, urban fiction paperbacks, comic books and more.

We have been so impressed by her dedication that we are going to help her with her next set of care packages. Here are some things we are collecting and ways you can help too.

According to Books for Soldiers the first thing they suggest is to collect funds for postage. Alison gets the special rate but each box is still $15 to ship. We will have little envelopes available at Tuscany Spa if you wish to help with shipping.

We are also collecting magazines. The topics that have been requested include National Geographic, Mens Health and Fitness, Body Building, Maxim, GQ, Popular Mechanics, Cars/Trucks, Game Informer (Gaming) and Tattoos. Old issues are welcome as well, please drop them off at Tuscany Spa Tuesday thru Saturday.

Paperback books are popular. We would love these genres: Action Adventure, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Best Sellers, especially Game of Thrones and Hunger Games, Mysteries, Military Biographies, Inspirational books like 5 Languages of love for soldiers. If you have any of these, new or used - in good condition, we will be happy to accept them.

We are collecting new grooming supplies such as disposable razors, shave cream in a tube, shampoo, body lotion, body powder, foot powder, baby wipes, chapstick/lipbalm, toothpaste, tooth brush, dental floss, sunblock, insect repellant. You get the idea. We would be happy to accept these and send them on.

 Last, but not least, our soldiers love to get cards and letters. They especially love getting letters and drawings from kids, so if your little ones want to help, our soldiers would be delighted to get them.

So during November and December we will have a collection box available for our soldiers. Anything you can do to pitch in would be greatly appreciated. As Alison ships out the care packages we will keep you updated on our facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/tuscanyspa.


We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Michelle of Tuscany Spa Skin and Body Clinic
