Depending on where you are from, you might have been mumbling one of these colorful phrases to yourself over the last month as our summer has heated up…
 
“The dog days of summer are here!”
“It’s hotter than Dutch love”
“Hot enough to scald a lizard/loon”
“It’s hotter than a stolen tamale!”
“Training grounds for down below”
“It's hotter'n a blister bug in a pepper patch!”
 
No matter how you describe the hottest days of the year, your skin – AND YOUR HAIR - will have the same need for protection as anyone else’s. With temp’s hitting 90+ most days from now until the end of August, let’s talk about how to protect our hair and skin from the damaging rays of the sun and the dehydrating effects of the hot dry air that is a staple of our region.

Love is in the Hair!
 
As we’ve moved from January into February and see beyond Winter to Spring…It’s time to show some LOVE!
 
Love for our Hair
Love for our Skin
Love for our Selves
 
Winter is officially here, and along with it the snow play, hot cocoa, cozying up by the fire...and dry times ahead for your hair and skin, the “Winter Moisture Blues”. Fear not - we've compiled some tips to help weatherproof and moisturize through the cold and DRY winter weeks.

While our local medical providers continue to face the pandemic head on, we need to continue to do our part to keep a second wave of C-19 under control.  Medical Professionals all across the Valley have been doing a remarkable job. The numbers here in Yakima County have declined and are holding fairly steady. But as the weather cools down and we spend more time indoors, the concern is that the virus will peak again. I, for one, am not interested in going back to Phase 1.5 or even the possibility of another Lockdown.  I will continue to provide services in our facility with the utmost of care for our team and our community. ​

​This last weekend I had the chance to go and see first hand at “CHAZ” (recently renamed "CHOP" for "Capital Hill Organized Protest" )...

​To say the least, it really was an eye-opening experience.  You could feel the energy in the air.  There were so many people from every type of communities.  It was very inspiring to see all these people (and I don’t like crowds) but I felt totally safe.  While all around the country people are hurting in so many ways and angry at for so many (mostly valid) reasons, the positive vibe was surprising - and amazing.
