Get Ready For School - Where Did The Summer Go?!

Posted: August 7th, 2015

It's that time of year again. School is opening very shortly and it's time to get the routine ready. You are back to the stressful mornings of waking the kids, giving them breakfast, getting ready for school, and to the bus on time. You start to wonder when you can enjoy some relaxation again. The summer goes by so fast, and the school year seems to be too long. We all look forward to summer for a break – break from work, break from school, and a family vacation time break.   Why not make a family spa day before school starts? Great idea!! This is a great way to get haircuts for everyone on the same day. Maybe you have some young teenagers who would benefit from a facial, and learning about skin care and the proper skin products for their skin type. Get a mani/pedi for yourself with the latest fall colors. Finally, a couple's massage enjoyed with your partner. Massage therapy is a great form of relaxation, and who knows when you will have time for another massage until school ends.  This time of year the day spas offer specials on back to school haircuts, manicures and pedicures, facials, and more. Some of you are sending kids off to college for the first time. Hygiene and skin care are very important. Kids deal with a lot of stress when they go off to school. Stress causes pimples and breakouts. Nutrition is very important and most kids will eat fast food just fending for themselves between classes. Oily skin and poor nutrition adds to skin problems. It's very important that they learn about the best products to treat their skin to keep it clean, smooth, healthy and glowing. Pack extra skin care products and healthy snacks that they can take to their dorms. It's ok to be a good parent and friend, as long as they know you are the parent first.
