We have all heard that every snowflake is different with its own unique shape. But, did you also know that they all have six sides? Montana holds the record for the largest snowflakes ever recorded. They were 15 inches in diameter. Stampede Pass here in Washington averages 430 inches of snowfall a year. Snowflakes fall at a speed of 3.1 miles per hour. In order for a snowstorm to be classified as a blizzard, visibility must be at 1/4 mile, winds must sustain speeds of 35 miles per hour or more and it must last for 3 or more hours.

The answer to yesterdays riddle: He was bald. (Congrats, Tonia and Allie)

George walked for thirty minutes in the pouring rain without getting a single hair on his head wet. He didn't have a hat or an umbrella and his coat had no hood. How did he do that?

I would love to hear your guesses. I will post the answer tomorrow. 

Women once believed that boiled nettles made your complexion smooth and even. Some used curdled milk on acne. In ancient Greece, women would lighten their hair with arsenic and their shampoo was made out of ashes. Women in Spain would eat clay in hopes that it would maintain their porcelain complexion. They would paint their faces with a powder made of white lead, pulverized bone and whale blubber. Ancient Egyptian women’s perfume was also used as a cure for lung, intestinal and liver problems. 

Come by the salon and check out the assortment of beauty products we have available (no ancient secrets). 

Once your hair has been damaged from chemical processing (perms and color) or heat (flat irons and blow driers) it may appear duller or more likely to frizz. Hair shine greatly depends on how smooth the cuticle is. The cuticle is the outer layer of your hair shaft. Once the cuticle scales pull away from the shaft of hair and no longer reflect light as well, your hair will frizz. This is why the hair appears dull and unmanageable. Once the cuticle is damaged, there is no repairing it (I don’t care what all the commercials say). I do have some treatments and some products that will coat the cuticle and make your hair more manageable while you wait for the damage to grow out. Stop by the salon for a free consultation.

Kevin and I had an amazing time in Arizona. We spent the weekend with my aunt and uncle. We visited with my cousin, her husband and their three beautiful children. We got to dive on a sunken sailboat. Next time we go, I want to dive on the old, underwater town. I wish we could have stayed longer. But, we will see them next month in Hawaii. 

It's back to work, for now. I will be at the salon all week. Give me a call to schedule your appointment. 

I am spending the weekend with my husband. The salon is CLOSED Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I will be back Tuesday from 2-7 pm. If you need to get an appointment I can get you in today or call and leave a message 446-1313. I will return your call Tuesday. 

Do you need a massage? Let me know how many people would like to have someone in the salon a couple days a week to offer massages. Would you, your family and friends take advantage of this service? I need to get a head count before we make a decision. So stop by or give me a call. 

So, last weekend was so much fun. Kevin and I did a total of 4 dives in the Spokane River. We passed our skills exam and demonstrated buddy breathing. We are now open water certified scuba divers. The river was 44 degrees and with our wet suits on, I did not get cold at all. I was surprised because I am always cold. We are going to do some more diving this weekend, with my aunt and uncle, and I can't wait. Sorry, but the salon will be closed on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I can't pass up the opportunity to spend time with my honey. 

We have the airbrush gun working: 100%. We just had to get rid of the last one and buy a new one, lol. Full body tans are $25. Half body (arms or legs) are $15. Achieve an amazing tan in less than 15 minutes; no orange, no burning, no skin damage. Exfoliate your skin before coming in. You can wear a bathing suit or chose to be nude. You can not shower or workout (because of excess sweating) for 6 hours after you spray tan. Plan for this when scheduling your appointment. The airbrushed tan will last approximately one week; this is because your skin cells shed so quickly. If you have any questions or concerns give me a call at 446-1313. If you would like to test a small area to see how fantastic the color looks, I will be happy to show you for FREE.
