We have heard the saying, “you reap what you sow”, and at some time or another, we want to bank on that—as we have injustices (or the appearances) of injustices done upon us.  However, creating a steady path in one’s life is a conscious choice.  It all begins with our thinking.  Our thoughts are so powerful, they can lead us to great ideas and accomplishments, and they can lead us to great despair and havoc.

Do you show these three signs of aging?
1. Skin color becomes more gray because of less blood flow.
2. Facial Shape becomes collapsed and droopy as muscle and collagen decrease.
3. Skin texture becomes less smooth. As a result, the person looks “worn”, or “tired” or “droopy.” The lively, rosy hue (seen plainly in playing children of every skin color and in young adults) fades to a dull gray.

Summer is the season for tanning by the pool, playing in the ocean water, and spending your days relaxing, but don’t get too relaxed with the care of your hair. During the summer the heat from the sun deteriorates the shielding protein in hair, which oxidizes the hair color to a brassy hue, removes the shine, and leaves the locks brittle. This is the most important season for visiting a professional salon like Edna’s Salon and Spa for all your hair care needs.

Excessive sweating also known as hyperhidrosis is a relatively uncommon disorder.  It affects only 2.8 percent of the population, but can have significant psychological consequences.  Thirty-four to 47 percent of the patients felt that their sweating had a moderate to severe effect on limitations at work, meeting people, and in romantic or intimate situations. 

I get many phone calls asking what is the difference between Brazilian blowout and Keratin? The answer is simple the ingredients and the end results will determine which product is best for you. Many people say they don’t want to wait to wash their hair. With Brazilian blowout there is no down time, meaning that you can wash your hair, jump in the pool and work out that same day. With Keratins there is a mandatory three-day waiting period before wash or even wetting the hair.

Today I found out the history and symbolism behind the tradition of wearing a wedding ring and why, in most western cultures, it’s worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring finger.
No one can really say for sure when this age old tradition actually started. Some believe that the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings comes from ancient Egypt, about 4,800 years ago.

Dear Cathy, what exactly is a clinical facial? I’ve seen advertising for them, but I am not sure what it is or what makes it different from a regular facial. – Aria in Castaic
Dear Aria, Clinical facials focus on results rather than relaxation; they give extra attention to serious skin problems and concentrate on deep exfoliation to renew the surface of the skin.

A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal muscle have weakened, resulting in a bulge or tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a small balloon-like sac. This can allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the sac. The hernia can cause severe pain and other potentially serious problems that could require emergency surgery. Both men and women can get a hernia. You may be born with a hernia (congenital) or develop one over time.  A hernia does not get better over time, nor will it go away by itself.
