Back to Blogging :)

Hello everyone!! Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple weeks, we have been a little busy with end of summer activities! A couple weeks ago we snuck away to Arizona for a few days and surprised my mom! It was a lot of fun, but of course not long enough! 

Here are a few pictures from our trip. 

Pictures we got of the boys from Caden's parents while we were gone!!! We missed them so much :(

The weekend after we got back it was my cousin Samantha's wedding! So the week prior we were busy doing lots of eyelashes for bridesmaids and the bride, attending rehearsals and of course their beautiful wedding! It was so much fun! Anytime we get our family together we always have such a blast! Here are some fun pictures from the wedding... 

Aren't they the cutest couple? Just love them :) 

The week after the wedding my cousin and BFF, Sabrina, stayed in town for a few days so we hung out with her basically everyday so we could spend some time with her!  

And this past weekend our awesome friends Colby and Amanda moved back down from Idaho and moved in with us!! Best roomies ever :) YAY!

So now things are pretty much settled so it's time to get back into the swing of things :) I am so bummed summer is almost over... but I do love fall and I am excited for all that is coming to Volaire. We have been working on some great things that we will be announcing very soon!!! 

Photo Shoot 7.10.13

We did an awesome photo shoot at PicCouture in the District this past week. We had such a blast doing them and the people at PicCouture were so great to work with! Here are some awesome shots from our shoot that we thought we would share with you all on the blog.

We had just started Crossfit about a week before these pictures and our bodies were seriously so sore... that is all I can think about when I look at these pictures. It's a miracle we could actually pull off the poses. haha. I guess that is what having an amazing yoga instructor is all about.. :) I could not have done it without Caden. He is just the best! 

We are wanting to put together a couples "Partner Yoga" class soon and teach everyone how to do these poses together! It is so much fun to connect and support each other in these yoga poses. I promise you will love it! So if you are interested let us know :)  

Microdermabrasion

As I mentioned in my post from Vegas, I purchased the amazing PMD at the Spa & Wellness show and I have fallen in love! This product is amazing! PMD stands for "Personal Microdermabrasion". What I love about this product is that it can be used in a professional setting (such as Volaire :) ) or it can even be purchased for someone to use at home! 

I am so excited to be adding Microderm as a service at Volaire. Many of my clients ask me exactly what a microdermabrasion is and what are the benefits. 

Here is a little about it: It is a noninvasive form of exfoliation and mild skin resurfacing. It removes dead skin cells from the outer most layer of the skin. It is amazing at treating acne, fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, scarring and pigmentation. While performing a microdermabrasion treatment, as the skin is exfoliated on this top layer, breaking apart these "imperfections" listed above, this triggers the body's healing mechanism to remove the dead skin cells and rapidly replace it with new and healthy ones! 

The one thing that I have loved about the PMD is that it also has a vacuum suction with the exfoliation. The combination of the two reduces the formation of blemishes. The vacuum achieves this by clearing out the clogged pores and releasing all that trapped dirt and oil, leaving the skin more clear and vibrant! 

I used to this for the first time last week and have only used it once. My dead skin flaked off for a few days and afterwards it looked and felt so amazing!! I can't wait to try it again :) 

Doing microdermabrasion is always best in a series, if you are looking for serious results...however they are still great as a refresher for your skin. 

We offer this service at Volaire... and I also purchased one to sell if anyone is interested in buying their own PMD. If I have several people interested I will definitely get more! :) I use and sell the "pro" version, which offers more settings and that is not sold in stores, only by Licensed Estheticians.

Please contact me if you would like any other information. I would be more than happy to answer any questions! 

Las Vegas Trip!

This past weekend Caden and I went to Las Vegas for the IECSC. This is one of the largest Spa and Wellness Conventions. We left on Friday and drove down.

 We stayed in a hotel off the strip a little and when we got into town we decided to go find a good casino and gamble a little. Caden's mom and aunt Tilly are the gambling queens. They play "Keno". Caden's mom taught us how to play last August when we went to Vegas for my birthday. On that trip we ended up winning about $1200. So we wanted to try again and see if we could win again! On that first night there we ended up winning about $900. It was so much fun! 

We then went out for Sushi, and then headed back to our room and went to bed. (We are party animals I know! I think it was like 10:00 pm- haha) 

The next morning we woke up early and went to breakfast then headed off to the convention. The building it is in is so large and there are SO many booths of different companies trying to educate you on their products. We visited just about every booth. It was fun, educational, but so so exhausting. Caden was such a trooper walking around looking at all this beauty stuff :). 

Going to the show I had my eye out for a Microdermabrasion machine. This is a service I LOVE and I wanted to bring it to Volaire. A while back Caden met someone who owns a company called PMD (Personal Microdermabrasion), I had read a little about it and it sounded like an awesome product. So I was really excited when I saw them at the show! After learning more about it and seeing the results, I decided to purchase it! I purchased 3 of them so I can use one at home on myself, one at Volaire and sell one to a client who is looking for awesome results! I will review this product in more detail on another day, however, I am so excited to start doing it at Volaire. :) PMD is actually a Utah based company, and for those of you who know who Michelle Money is, she is someone who "advertises" and "represents" this product with her friend Laura. We got to meet her and her friend at the show. I, of course, did not get a picture with her, but her friend put this up on her Instagram so I am using this picture- (credit to Laura for her picture :)) ! 

Anyway, after the show, we went back and did a little more gambling at the same casino we were at the night before. We decided to try just a little bit more and see if we could win anything else. Well we started off a little slow, but once I got sat down at this certain machine, I ended up winning about $900. If anyone knows Keno, I hit 3 five spots in about 5 minutes time! It was a blast :)

Afterwards we went and ate at this Italian Restaurant called Bootleggers. They had a yummy gluten free ravioli that I was pretty excited to eat! After dinner we went back to our hotel! 

The next morning we left to drive back home. On our way home we stopped in St. George and had lunch with my cousin Sabrina and her husband Mike. 

It was a great trip full of winnings, new business opportunities and a fun time with my cute hubby!

Can't wait to share more about the new services we are bringing on :)
