THE PROBLEM: You’re busy and want to look your best – that includes displaying a healthy tan. Traditional tanning, like sunbathing and tanning beds, is time consuming and unhealthy. Spray tans have been around for a while, but results have been inconsistent.
THE SOLUTION: Wen Chic is proud to offer the “Crem de la Creme” of instant tans. Our USA made product employs a proprietary manufacturing process that increases skin absorption, enhances color, and extends the life of the tan. Our custom designed system prevents over-spray, streaking, and discoloration. The end result will leave you with a truly natural looking, golden bronze tan.

Be On Guard—Swine Flu and other Infectious Risks by Dr. David Hill
Unfortunately, germs and our exposure to them are a regular occurrence. As resistance and new strains continue to develop, we are at an increasing risk for serious infection.
I realize that there are many discussion threads regarding the potential dangers concerning the swine flu and other infectious health risks. There is much in the way of scientific medical research which demonstrates the efficacy of essential oils against a variety of pathogenic germs. Naturally occurring compound groups such as alcohols, phenols and aldehydes are often identified as being the most beneficial. I feel confident that it is a reasonable and responsible approach to use essential oils daily in a model of prevention and for resolution of symptoms in the cases of exposure.
In general, reducing our exposure and enhancing immune protection is our best defense. I suggest using dōTERRA essential oils in the following way:
1. Establish the daily routine of applying On Guard on the bottom of feet (for yourself as well as family members) both morning and night, which creates long-lasting and consistent protection.
2. Diffuse dōTERRA essential oils in your home routinely throughout the day. On Guard and your favorite citrus oil combined is a potent and uplifting aroma.
3. Drink plenty of water. Adding a few drops of your favorite citrus oil will enhance your body’s natural defenses.
4. Viruses and bacteria are found in staggering numbers on surfaces. Use essential oils to thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces you and your family come in contact with. A mixture of Wild Orange, On Guard, and Thyme is especially potent. Diluting the mixture with water in a small glass spray bottle can easily be used anywhere, anytime. Simply spray and wipe for germ-free surfaces on the go.
5. Wash and wipe your hands using essential oils. Adding essential oils to your favorite soap increases effectiveness.
6. Use essential oils in combination to enhance their germ fighting benefits. The essential oils of On Guard (dōTERRA’s natural defense blend), Oregano, and Thyme are a critical part of your family’s protection plan. At the onset of any infection this combination used internally by capsule ingestion or on the bottom of the feet can offer quick relief and elimination.
7. Maintain the basis of personal health through appropriate supplementation. Using dōTERRA Lifelong Wellness pack has immune sustaining benefits for your entire family. With an ORAC score of nearly 6000 per serving, every cell in your body is fortified.
Using CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils is a safe and consistent approach to safeguarding individual and family health.
Yours in Health,
Dr. David Hill

IONSPA DETOX
Life is a dirty business. Every moment of every day, your cells are generating waste products, the natural result of cell metabolism. We absorb toxic substances in the environment through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and directly through the skin. Your lymph system attempts to collect all this debris and carry it off for processing. Ideally the waste is ultimately expelled from the body through one or more of the four channels of elimination – the bowels, the bladder, the lungs and the skin.
Notice I said ideally. Due to a number of possible factors including (but not limited to) poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, and weaknesses in our systems, not all of the toxins are eliminated. The result is toxic buildup in the body, which can result in disease.
The ionSpa Detox uses ion charged water to stimulate toxin release from the body (ions are simply atoms or molecules with a positive or negative charge). The use of ionized water for therapeutic benefit isn’t new. We know that Roman physicians used to prescribe bathing in naturally occurring pools of ionized water to restore health. B
y the way, you’ve already experienced the positive effects of ion therapy (courtesy of mother nature) whether you know it or not. The rejuvenated feeling you get after a thunderstorm is from the negative ions in the air. (Be sure to open the windows in your house after a thunderstorm – your family (and pets) will be immediately refreshed). Ion technology is routinely used in a variety of commercial products, most commonly in air ionizers.
How is the session conducted? What will I feel?
The recipient places his feet in a tub of ion charged water. The water is warm and relaxing. Most people experience a slight tingling in their feet. Before long the color of the water begins to change, as the toxins are removed from th
e body and deposited in the water. That’s it. Some people read a magazine; others might just sit back and relax. An average session lasts for 30 minutes. Several weekly sessions are recommended to remove years of toxic build up. A monthly program can then be used for maintenance.
What are the benefits?
First, let’s get the legaleeze out of the way. No medical claims are made for this product.
The experience varies from person to person. Most people feel a difference after the very first session. A common report is feeling lighter and more energized. Many people report that they feel their immune system has been given a boost; they are better able to fend off illness. Others feel less sensitivity to pain, and reduced swelling.
Bottom line: We all carry toxins around with us in our bodies. No matter how healthy our diet, how careful we are with chemicals, how much we exercise or where we live, it’s simply unavoidable.The question isn’t whether or not, it’s how much. These toxins can reek havoc in a variety of ways, including suppressing the immune system and causing cancer. The ionSpa can help reduce the toxic load in the body. For most people, this can result in immediate positive results. Repeated use can usually further reduce the toxic load and then help maintain it at a low level.
Many people have found that the ionSpa can help them lead happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

In developing countries, women walk an average of 6 kilometers (4 miles) every day just to get clean water.
This April, we’re mirroring their footsteps—to remind us how precious clean water is, and to help make it available to all. During the week of Earth Day, April 22nd, Aveda salons and spas around the world are taking a 6K walk to raise awareness and funds for local clean water organizations. And by partnering with JustGive.org, we’ve made it easy for you to donate online. For more information, click here.

Haircuts aren’t a big deal. People get their hair cut all the time — except me. The last major haircut I had was in 2002. I just never really thought about it. It was easy to just let it grow, wash it, blow-dry it, and go about my business. That is until it grew to 32 inches and became a hassle. As a professional organizer, I teach my clients about time management, reducing clutter, and recycling. The time I spent blow-drying my own hair was ridiculous. The amount of product I had to use to keep it looking good was downright excessive, not to mention the electricity and water I consumed. Having this long hair made me feel like a hypocrite. This wasn’t good for the environment or me. What was I thinking?
When I was asked to write an article on recycling for this issue, I hit a brick wall. Admittedly, I had writer’s block, until one epiphany when I remembered another reason why I was letting my hair grow — to donate it for charity. Isn’t that a form of recycling? You know the saying: “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” Well, this was doing just that in every way. I did my homework and chose the organization I would donate my hair to: Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths. By sending them my hair, they would be able to use it to make a wig for a woman in need. I made up my mind; I would be a guinea pig for this story, and I was praying it would have a happy ending.
So the courage was gathered, and the appointment set. I would be lying if I said I didn’t have butterflies in my stomach that morning. I was having a complete stranger cut and style my hair; that alone was intimidating. But I kept thinking how this would help someone and the environment. Once committed, I had every intention of following through. According to Beautiful Lengths, it takes six ponytails to make a wig, and I am convinced mine alone could make one. The minimum length requirement to donate is eight inches. I gave 20.
In the end, my prayers were answered, and everything went better than planned, so this story does have a happy ending. Wenny Blackman, master stylist at Wen Chic Salon and Spa outdid herself, and I am thrilled with my new haircut. The support I received from my friends, family, and the staff of both absolutely! Katy and Wen Chic was awesome. I just hope my next story doesn’t involve any form of flying, as that is one fear I just won’t get over. Well, maybe if it has something to do with organizing, I may make the exception.

What is tachyon?
Tachyon is a quantum particle. Albert Einstein predicted the existence of tachyon particles almost a century ago. Modern science is now in the process of confirming their existence. However, tachyon’s amazing healing benefits are available to you now.
What makes tachyon valuable from a therapeutic perspective is that it has no frequency. The body takes it in and converts it to whatever frequency it needs to promote healing and optimal health. This characteristic makes it unique in exogenous (originating outside of the body) energy work. For example, crystal healing can be effective, but it only works if there is a frequency match between the crystal and the disorder. Tachyon therapy suffers no such limitation -the tachyon acts as a free energy source for whatever kind of healing work the body needs to conduct.
How is the session conducted?
The recipient lies on their back on a massage table and is wrapped in a tachyon antenna (called a cocoon), eyes closed, and relaxes. That’s all there is to it! The session is totally non-invasive. The bodies’ infinite wisdom conducts the session. If there is specific healing work that is desired, many participants use visualization to direct tachyons’ healing energy to that particular area.
It is recommended that the first few sessions be limited to twenty minutes as the body gets used to the powerful tachyon energy, building up to forty minutes or even an hour over time.
What’s it like? What are the Benefits?
Most people experience immediate results. Reports of a tingling sensation in various parts of the body during the session are common. The experience has been likened to an incredibly deep and profound meditation.
After the session many report a feeling of intense relaxation. With continued use, the following are routinely reported:
> A renewed sense of vigor, well-being, and life purpose.
> Accelerated healing ability.
> Enchanced resistance to disease.
Tachyon can be used in conjunction with any other healing modality to amplify the effects. For example, some practioners now use tachyon in conjunction with acupunture treatments. Tachyon provides a natural energy boost to the entire body/mind/spirit complex – helping us move our lives forward and conduct our work (and play) in a more energetic, purposeful, and joyful manner. It has also been used very effectively with animals and plants!

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Jerry Traub
A truck was firmly wedged under a bridge. The delivery driver had ignored the clearance posting and became stuck in the process. A structural expert was consulting with the scene commander, trying to come up with a simple solution to the problem. One option being considered was unbolting the structure holding the truck captive, a steel support beam running the width of the bridge. Another was removing the cargo area of the truck.
A small boy happened to be in the audience of bystanders and wandered over to a nearby policeman to find out what was going on. After hearing the explanation, the young boy paused briefly, looked up at the officer, and asked why they didn’t simply let the air out of the truck tires? The policeman looked at the boy, shook his head and walked over to the “experts” to relay the boy’s suggestion. Ten minutes later, the truck was on its way.
This classic story is often used to demonstrate creative thinking. For me it represents our natural mindset, unfettered by conditioning and biases. The little boy viewed the situation through unaffected eyes. He didn’t have a degree in structural engineering. Because of his young age, he hadn’t been conditioned by society to leave the thinking to the experts. He still trusted in his insights and intuition. The answer came to him as a gestalt – a sudden flash of insight, in a whole piece. This is an ability we all have, but often falls into disuse over time. It may become inactive from lack of use but will never leave you. It simply lies dormant, waiting to be summoned back into action.
Scientists tell us that for many people, up to 80% or even 90% of thinking is repetitive and robotic – the same kinds of thoughts over and over. It’s not really conscious thought at all, but a kind of recording that insulates us from reality. Training ourselves to become aware of our thinking at various times during the day is a good way to extricate ourselves from this robotic thinking. It can return us to a centered, conscious state.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The following exercise yields potential power and benefit all out of proportion to the few moments it takes. It can be practiced at any moment during the day, and is especially useful when you find yourself pulled off center, in the grip of a negative emotion, or before entering a perceived stressful situation.
Take a couple of deep breaths. Straighten your spine, head level. Now, just notice your thoughts. Notice what is going on in your body. Notice any sensations you are experiencing. Tune in to the natural rhythms of the body. Be aware of your breathing in the background, but don’t focus on it.
As you do this, try to suspend any judgement, attachment, or resistance to your thoughts or the situation. You are simply observing. This is done gently but firmly. You are returning to a balanced, centered state.
This exercise takes only a minute or two and gets easier and more natural with practice. Overt time, you’ll catch yourself being pulled off center sooner. This will make it easier to to return to your “Zero Point”.

I remember watching a bowling show as a young boy. The bowler at the line was a top professional, but was having an off day. The commentator remarked that he seemed to be forcing his shots. “Trust is a must or your game is a bust” was his conclusion. In other words, trust your inner genius. Trust that you have the answers inside of you.
Apparently the bowler was listening. He soon recovered his form and went on to win both the game and the tournament. I can’t remember who the bowler was, but for some reason, the commentator’s remark made an impression and has stayed with me through the years.
There’s a good chance that the bowler did something very similar to the exercise above to get himself back on track. In all liklihood, he took a couple of deep breaths and closed his eyes for a few moments. He knew he had the ability to perform; all he had to do was get out of the way and allow his inner genius to go to work. He entered flow, that wonderful state where time disappears and we find ourselves immersed in what we’re doing and naturally performing at our best.
