Guys: What Goes Down Easy with a Spa Gift Certificate? Beer.

February 8, 2011

Queue of BeerRumor has it that some guys wait until the last minute to purchase gifts for their significant others. It’s shocking, but an unscientific study by the milk + honey concierge staff reveals that the night before Christmas and the day before Valentine’s Day have a high proportion of men queued up waiting to purchase a spa package or couple’s treatment.

We don’t think that we can change behavior and make men proactive about gift giving. We’re certain that procrastination about gift giving is hard wired into the male psyche.

But, we’re going to make it easy for everyone (women included) purchasing gift certificates prior to Valentine’s Day. Swing by either spa Friday through Monday and we’ll have ice cold beer for you to enjoy while you are purchasing a spa treat for that special someone. Look at it as a reward for procrastination. Or look at it as a reward for choosing a Valentine’s treat that will be sure to knock their socks off.

And, if you are proactive, you can purchase gift certificates right now by clicking here.

glominerals – Where Science and Beauty Meet

January 31, 2011

Image of Glo Mineralsmilk + honey has done the research and discovered the unparalleled benefits of using glominerals, a line of makeup derived from antioxidants such as green tea and vitamins A, C, and E. In rich hues ranging from classic to contemporary, glominerals will smooth out discrepancies in skin tone and texture while supplying both UVA and UVB protection. Rarely does makeup actually improve skin health but the pharmaceutical-grade vitamins and minerals in glominerals are great for even the most sensitive skin and are helpful in reducing inflammation such as acne or rosacea.

Schedule a consultation at milk + honey salon and one of our makeup geniuses will show you how to use glominerals makeup to create fresh, seasonal looks for both day and evening. Bring in your makeup bag and learn which colors can stay and where you need to supplement with something new. Armed with a lesson from a pro and an arsenal of the most sophisticated alchemy, you will learn to highlight your best features and keep them healthy.

This February we are offering a Kiss and Tell promotion where you buy any Lip Gloss or Liquid Lips and receive a Lip Filler Pencils Free!  The offer is valid at both salons through 2/28/2011 with a maximum of two orders per partisan. Make your pucker perfectly irresistible just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Get the Bad Stuff Out of Cosmetics

January 21, 2011

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is an advocacy organization that is attempting to eliminate harmful chemicals from cosmetics and skin care products. Their mission is close to our heart. Why is it that so many skin care products contain chemicals that cause cancer, interfere with estrogen production, or simply cause irritation when they should soothe?

From the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics:

Researchers have found triclosan in the majority of Americans, including pregnant women. The chemical can have adverse effects on fetal growth and development,(2) may lead to bacterial resistance to antibiotics and harms aquatic life.(3) It’s in more than 75 percent of liquid hand soaps in the U.S.,(4) yet triclosan is no more effective than regular soap and water.

If you care about this as much as we do, click here to sign a petition to the EPA asking them to ban triclosan.

Is Your Nail Service Sanitary?

January 20, 2011

When frightful stories of nail fungus and communicable diseases from manicures and pedicures are passed around, it makes you wonder what makes a nail station safe? It is not worth compromising physical health for beautiful fingers and toes.

At milk + honey we go to great lengths to ensure your nail service is as clean as it is elegant. Our pedicure stations are outfitted with bowl sinks for soaking your pups instead of using jet baths, which are known for harboring fungus. The bowls are completely sanitized between every client. All of our nail tools are thoroughly sanitized with Barbicide, an industry gold standard in cleaning solutions. The tools are then “cooked” in an autoclave so any stubborn bacteria is eliminated.

All nail technicians at milk + honey are highly skilled, licensed, well-trained and extremely fastidious so that you can relax, read a magazine, bliss out and enjoy your dazzling digits.
