Juicing Your Way to Health Hair, Skin and Nails

With Smoothies and Juicing becoming more of a staple in our daily lives it’s important to know which fruits and veggies are in season.

A great link for you to try this weekend is Ripetrack.com.

This is from the cover page of the website.

All produce tastes best during the part of the year when it naturally ripens. Strawberries are sweeter when sun-kissed in the summer, and some squashes don’t get full and flavorful until the fall. Not only does food taste better in season, it often has a higher nutrient content too. And if that wasn’t enough, fruits and vegetables are usually more affordable when they are naturally in abundance. Eating seasonally is better for your body, tastier on your tongue, and lighter on your wallet!

Doesn't it just make you want to picnic or go to the beach this weekend. 

Most of the stylists at Panache & Co Salon have a favorite recipe that they have shared with their team members and maybe some of our clients. I think we should have a smoothie/juice off at the salon in June. The stylist with the tastiest recipe will win a Whole Foods $50.00 Gift Card. Don't you just love a good, healthy cook-off, Or in this instance a juice-off. In the mean time try out one of the yummy smoothie recipes above.

The other link we love is the Harvest Calendar of San Diego. If you're into local grown produce, this is the link for you. Download this for your trips to the Farmers Markets that are sprinkled throughout San Diego County.  Here are the Farmers Market’s and the days of business from the Harvest Site. 

I can tell you from personal experience my skin and hair have never felt better. Look for my juice fast post at the end of July.

We hope you enjoyed this Fridays Links We Love series and hope you share this post with your friends and family and spread the love. Look for more fun post throughout the Panache & Co Salon Summer Season.

Until Next Time

Mineral Makeup For NYFW And You

http://bit.ly/1nUZorg Tigi cosmetics mineral tints

Mineral Foundations are all the rage again. Every company from Maybelline to Chanel have some variety of mineral product. Why: titanium dioxide and zinc are earths mineral equivalent to sunscreen and minerals add a nice glow to the skin. We all look brighter, happier with a glow to us-right? Just look at Julia Roberts skin, she's a natural goddess who embraces the earth and its goodness, she uses mineral base products. 

If you haven't had the chance to tryout some of the products on the market you should. I see these mineral makeup products as a great pick me up for Spring 2014 and beyond. Stop by Panache & Co Salon  and have one of our Artist test the perfect shade of TIGI Mineral Tint Moisturizer on your skin

Today Show: Eco Nail Polishes

My passion is all things fashion and now living a less toxic lifestyle. Daily we are bombarded by cellphones, laptops, cars and self inflicted toxic behaviors.

 After hearing my husband’s long conversation about his hate of nail polish and how he wouldn't let our child wear the toxic goop, I decided to find the holly grail of polish. Good news, it’s Scotch. Not the drink I love, but a totally vegan, biodegradable nail polish! The color selection is fantastic, see for yourself.

Bonus: They have a Kids Polish line. My sweet baby girl loves polish like her mommy, the down side, at 6 she can’t keep her fingers out of the mouth. Well if she eats this off- not so scary. Hopscotch Kids is vegan, gluten free and biodegradable.   

Now the girls of the house can have their fashion and eat it too! Eco Chic rules.

Eco Chic: Monday Morning Mantra

 

Well I’m not sure if weekends are so relaxing. It seems there’s more to do every weekend. So this week I’ve decided to take a new approach- New Monday Mantra (Relax into my week)

 

 

First: I will have a healthy breakfast, then a private sunrise yoga lesson with Kelly Knorr of Panache and Co. Salon. I bet you didn’t know she teaches yoga. She is always trying to get me to have healthy choices in my life- love her for that.


 

 

 

Second: it’s off to the Salon for an Awakening Treatment by TIGI Reborn. The scalp massage and hot towel treatment alone should put me in a state of Zen.  It’s sounding great so far, right?  Then it’s one of Panache’s great  *$30.00 blow outs. It’s much more civilized to have one’s hair blown out by professionals; lasting results, you known.

*Blowouts @ $30.00 Junior Stylist only

 Third - but not last, my favorite tea, Casablanca by “Mariage Freres”. I buy mine on-line and sometimes from Extraordinary Deserts. Next, I  would love a steak salad from “Urban Plates”, oh’ medium rare please. I wonder if Kelly would consider the salad healthy.

Well all this New Monday Mantra should help me on my way to a fantastic work week. What do you do to Relax into your work week-write me and let me know.
