Gratitude & Great News!
I don’t know about you, but it seems like time is flying by. Not too long ago we were counting down the seconds to midnight and now it’s almost March Break… Seriously!
Where has the time gone? Does anybody else miss the part of the initial lockdown where time seemed to move really slow? Days felt longer and we had more time on our hands. I kind of miss it to be honest. We really need to focus on being present in the moment and appreciative of what’s here, not rushing to the next moment.
In the last little while; I’ve been focusing on gratitude. Gratitude plays such an important role in our everyday lives. There is so much we have in a day to be grateful for, but we take it for granted. How about clean drinking water, the ability to go outside for a walk (even if it’s cold) and enjoy our surroundings, having the freedom to come and go as we please. So many things get overlooked because we just expect them to work out for us.
If you’re wondering where this stemmed from, I recently started this new book, “The Magic”. It focuses on gratitude, and I highly recommend it. When you focus on what you have instead of what you want, what you have grows and what you lack shrinks because you realize it’s no longer as significant as you thought. Sometimes, we wish for things but the things we wish for could actually cause more damage. It’s an interesting read and hint, hint, this topic might be making an appearance in the next podcast episode. Have you subscribed yet? If not, give it a listen! There’s always a lot of juicy insight to listen to on your walk, drive to work or just chilling in bed.
Speaking of new things, we’ve been working on a little something at the salon for all of you… and when I say we, I mean my husband…and it’s almost complete. I’m very excited to introduce or shall I say re-introduce, Hannah, our amazing facial tech. Her hands are literally magic and will make your skin feel (and look) its best.
Self-care is very important. It’s about taking that necessary time for you to relax and decompress. We always want you to feel your best and adding this facial service will really focus on that. Often times, we fail to nurture ourselves because of our busy schedules.
The quality of products was at the forefront when we decided to introduce this service which is why we partnered with Midnight Paloma, a Canadian female-run company that carries clean and simple ingredients. You know I’m a sucker for entrepreneurs and local businesses, so I’m excited to carry these products at the salon and welcome Hannah to our Elevate family.
The best part is she can tell you what to use for yourself at home and you can get it right here at Elevate Beauty Lofts. We’re so excited to start and will send you all the information as soon as we’re ready. In the meantime, be sure to ask Erin at your next appointment for one of our samples of the line to try for yourself.
As always, we’re so grateful for each and every one of you, everybody reading this and everybody who walks through our doors. We’re always planning, always listening and always striving to provide for all of your needs.
Bundle up, keep warm and have an amazing weekend!
Yours truly,
Pam
