Back to School

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I can’t believe July is almost over. School will start in a few weeks and many moms are engaged in the war of wills otherwise known as The Summer Reading Assignment. There those whose kids need no prompting and do everything when they are supposed to. There are the rest of us whose kids deny the existence of summer homework or “have it under control” (translation: will wait until the last minute and then panic). For all the moms with teenagers, whose orderly lives will become a series of adolescent crisis interventions, this blog is for you. We have felt your pain and have a plan. Treat yourself to a massage or facial. Let us pamper you. Let us fill those hard earned wrinkles and Botox those frowns away.

 

Summer is still here, but remember, when you feel the need for a little TLC this fall, give us a call- we’ve got you covered.

Happy Independence Day!

For those who will spend time outside this weekend, be mindful about hydration! Did you know that men need about 3 Quarts of water a day and women need about 2 Quarts? Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics and significantly increase our need for water. Beverages with high concentrations of sugar can slow down absorption of water and may interfere with rehydration. Thirst does not let us know when we need water it just tells us when we are running on empty. As you may already know, you can function on less but not nearly as well. Your skin and other tissues are more easily damaged. You will tire easily and are slower to recover. We want you to feel good and feel good about yourself, so don’t forget that water bottle!
