                                                Note from editor
 
This last year has gone way too fast, and I am starting to realize how fast time goes when you are more relaxed and taking the time to enjoy every moment. 
 
Each day I consciously think of my health and well being along with adapting in new ways to enhance the healing for myself and those around me.  The holiday season brings so many good times, treats, and events.  When we stop to pay attention to what we consume over the season, and what is going into our bodies, we can maintain the health that we need in the colder weather and when the fresh local food is not so fresh.
 
This morning I was making some Cranberry juice with Saskatoons and Rasberries.  The cranberries are grown in Canada, the Saskatoons and Raspberries are from my back yard (I am blessed with an amazing yard that is slowly growing more produce).  After the berries are all cooked and the seeds strained out, and some honey added, then I have the best juice or sauce ever.  The berries are high in anti-oxidants, lots of Vitamin C and no sugar.  Yes.   There is a treat for myself, add some cinnamon if wanted, or straight up.   With the cranberries, I strain the juice as the skin is tough when it is left in. 
 
Though one does get the urge to indulge and get other treats for the occasions.   Over the years I found many recipes that enhance our meals along with being home made, the experience is always worth doing again.  Many times it has been just creating with what I had.  
 
My challenge to you, is to see how much you can make from scratch for the dinner table this year.   Many, many  years ago I challenged myself, the in laws had purchased some store baking for Christmas and after I saw the price tag I knew I could bake 3 x the amount for less and I hoped tasted better.   This new challenge turned into a loving yearly habit, better tasting baking, and it did not stop there.  There are many times that over half of the dinner is from scratch or from the produce from the gardens.   Even the turkey (store bought) is covered in sage and dill that came from the garden.   Have you made your own cranberry sauce?  Easy, just add a lot less sugar than the recipes call for or use honey instead.  Maple syrup would be tasty too.
 
Take care of you during the holiday season.  Have fun, laugh, walk, talk, enjoy some silence and feel the peacefulness that we can live each day of our lives.   When you are at peace, healthy and relaxed everything is so much more enjoyable.  I say YES to treating myself to good health, and I say NO when I need to look after myself first.  Then I know I can enjoy this beautiful world to its fullest and be here with you. 
 
Blessings and have a great month, no matter where you are: Just be present to the moment and enjoy.

Finally, Intercosmo from Italy has introduced a new colour, Nutrilux,  without PPD.  It can lighten, highlight, lowlight and even cover “Arctic Blonde highlights”.  The colour lasts as long as or longer than regular non-ammonia colour still made with PPD.   Even the less-toxic hair colours that are non-ammonia, thio & ammonium hydroxide-free still contain PPD (phenylenediaminine) – a coal tar derived permanent pigment used in drugstore colours and high-end salon colours.   This pigment, once someone becomes allergic to or sensitized to it, can be fatal.  Also, the darker the colour, the higher the PPD content.   The new colour will arrive November 26, 2011 at our studio.   So, if you know of people who cannot colour, encourage them to come for a patch test.  The test is free and takes about 1 minute to do.  We have sample tubes in stock for allergy testing immediately.
If you have big plans for the holiday season Dec. 5 to Dec. 31, 2011, this is a good time to book your hair appointments for that time.  December can be difficult for appointment bookings as our volume of business doubles.      Thanks and have a happy autumn day.

                             My Favorite Wholistic / Alternative….
 
Just met another amazing person last week that opened doors for me along with me sharing with him.   He told me of a web site called Crystal Links.  He has used this site, Crystal Links, to help him learn a lot more about what is going on around us.   I took a look today and it sure has a lot of information on various metaphysical topics.  Here is the link:    http://www.crystalinks.com/  .   I know I will be doing a lot of reading there as there are so many things going on now, that
it is nice to have a good site as this to help keep me updated.
