Fertility problems effect over 30% of couples and individuals — an astounding figure that is even more disturbing because so few people are willing to talk about it openly. Join us for a special event at milk + honey where you will learn about diagnoses, treatment options, costs, and success rates. Dr. Francisco Arredondo, is not only an expert in this field, but he is also a fantastic doctor and a friend of milk + honey. He and his team recently expanded their practice, RMA of Texas, to Austin and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Please consider attending this event if you are struggling with fertility or simply want to learn more about reproductive medical arts. There will be refreshments, goody bags, and lots of time for questions. Space is limited so please call 512.479.7979 or email [email protected] to reserve your seat.

Maxine, from the Downtown Spa, just shared a great link to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics:
Have you ever walked into a nail salon and wondered “what is that smell?” or “should I really be breathing this?” Your instincts are right on. Nail polish, polish removers and artificial nail products contain a host of toxic chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer, reproductive harm, asthma and other negative health effects.
One of the things that we set out to do at milk + honey was to create a spa environment that didn’t include toxic chemicals. We figured that neither our clients nor employees cared to worry about the health risks of a spa environment. Plus natural ingredients tend to smell better and in most cases perform better.
That’s why we use Spa Ritual as our primary nail care line. It doesn’t use ingredients like dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde or toluene. (And really, if you can’t pronounce an ingredient, perhaps you shouldn’t use it!) So our nail treatments will not only help you look good, but you’ll feel good (and clear headed) while you’re getting them.
Have you ever walked into a nail salon and walked out because it smelled toxic?

When we created milk + honey, we wanted a nail department that didn’t smell like a toxic waste dump. We figured our customers — and our employees — would appreciate it. So, we selected Spa Ritual as our nail color line. They use vegan ingredients from around the world, including many specially sourced and selected plant essences that are wildcrafted OR organic.
Spa Ritual just came out with their Fall color line: Imagine. With fun colors such as Unconditional Love, Dreams Becoming Reality, and Living in the Moment, your fingers and toes will be a vision of beauty.
Schedule a mani or pedi to experience these new colors.

Marley, Mommy and Me: The Perfect Playdate
On the cusp of another fun season, fall brings about crisp air and falling leaves which is perfect for playtime with pups, pampering mommies and personal time with kiddos. Lofty Dog, milk + honey and Wee combine canines, complexion and cuddling with their take on “The Perfect Playdate” theme.
Correction from milk + honey: It’s actually “Inventive Eco Organic”, but repeated use might just help your ego.
