All I Want for Christmas...

I love this time of year, the sound of children laughing, families spending quality time together, the beautiful decorations, and everything about Christmas just makes me feel like a kid again!  It's always been a tradition for my husband and I to take vacation time during Christmas week just to relax and enjoy this celebrating as a family:-) So yesterday we took a mini road trip and although it was raining cats and dogs I really enjoyed our conversation, laughing together, and listening to our 3 year old son sing Christmas carols!  We stopped at a few of my favorite stores and for the first time ever I didn't have this overwhelming feeling to shop until I drop.  It was really weird, my husband was in complete shock and I was sort of surprised myself because everyone who knows me knows that I cannot say "NO" to a beautiful Coach bag lol!  But for some reason this year my entire perspective on life in general has changed.  I'm much more appreciative of the simple things in life, much more grateful for all of God's blessings, thankful to have a loving family, and just to be alive and healthy is such a blessing to me.  Everyday I'm grateful that my husband and I are still madly in love with each other, and I'm glad he's my rock.  And out of the blue my son told me that I'm the best Mama ever and he has no idea how GOOD that made me feel.  I'm grateful for my beautiful Mother who is my best friend, sometimes therapist lol, prayer partner, and much more!  And for the people in my life, my family and friends who inspire me, encourage me, and make me smile everyday is such a blessing.  I've realized that when we stop to think about the people in our lives and the things that we do have, that's when we realize how blessed we truly are.  All I want for Christmas...is to remain grateful for the blessings that I already have and thank God in advance for his blessings that are soon to come!!! 

So, from my family to yours I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, see you in 2011!!!

Lutein...Skin, Hair, & Nails OH MY!!!

My last blog post about the benefits of Jojoba sparked a great discussion about natural hair care.  I mean, having great hair is a big deal, and feeling good about yourself from head to toe is what Life in the Spa Lane is all about:)  So at the request of my new friend @AvatarLady (from BlogFrog) I am posting my experience using Sensaria's exclusive Lutein Transforming Serum & Supplement.  The products were first introduced at our national convention in July and I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about trying another Skin, Hair, & Nails supplement due to using other brands in the past without having any real results.  So, I decided to go ahead and try it since I never recommend a product to a client unless I've experienced it first hand. 

What I found after taking the Lutein Transforming Supplement twice a day was that it made my nails grow longer and stronger and my hair produced so much new growth that I could've even believe it!  After taking the supplements for only two weeks, I went in for my next hair appointment and my hair stylist said to me, "Whatever you are doing keep it up because your hair is growing like crazy"!  And it's not that it's some type of magic pill, but the ingredients in the supplement result in healthy natural beauty from the inside out!  I enjoyed seeing results in a matter of days and here it is almost 5 months later and I'm still reaping the benefits of having to trim my nails often, my skin feels more hydrated (also thanks to Lutein Transforming Serum for my face), and my hair is healthy & still growing!

So, I'm sure you're probably thinking yes this is all great, but I still don't know what Lutein is? I thought the same thing at first LOL, it's a powerful antioxidant naturally present in egg yolks, spinach, and kale.  Lutein is also great for eyesight, so I think it's best for you to hear more from our Product Development Expert and some great testimonials about the benefits of Lutein:-)  Check it out HERE!
