Does Your Sister Have Normal Hair?

How Protective Is That Style?

Pssst… What if I told you that your protective style isn’t actually protecting your hair?? Would you call me crazy or at least roll your eyes?

We’ve been using the term protective style for quite some time now to refer to braids, weaves, wigs, and other styles that we put our natural hair into when we aren’t doing wash and go’s. As a community, we’ve pretty much accepted that these styles somehow…

As a massage therapist and pet sitter, I am on a never-ending quest for the right clothes. I need to be stylish and put together but also very, very comfortable.

That’s why athleisure speaks to me on another level. I look for comfy pieces that I can spend an hour massaging in that will then take me on a walk with the dogs but keep me presentable for potential client interaction. It’s a lot to…

Should You Get A Massage While You’re Sick?

  My mom has a cold that came out of nowhere. One of those that starts in the chest then moves up to the nose!  Even though we are officially out of cold and flu season you or someone in your family may still come down with something.

  Have you ever gotten a massage and wondered if it was actually doing anything good for you? You know it relaxes you and it feels good.  You’ve probably heard that regular massage is good for you, but what does that really mean? Well, this series is here to give you that info. In each post, I will talk about one body system and what it does, as well as the effects of massage on that system.

I love working with essential oils in my massage practice and in my everyday life so I decided why not share some of the information I’ve llearned over the…

Headaches Are A Pain In The…

A headache can ruin your day faster than almost any other body ache or pain. Most of us will suffer from a headache at one time or another, and we’ll pop a pill and it will go away. For millions who suffer chronic headaches, a pill won’t be enough to ease the pain. Whether it’s migraines, tension, cluster, or rebound headaches massage therapy may be the thing you are missing in your treatment…

  A few months ago, I was talking to my mom about my desperate need (no exaggeration here) for some pretty jars to put my oils in. See, I’m a massage therapist and I use multiple bottles with different types of oils in them. I generally use just plain old plastic but they get kind of gross easily and they don’t look that great sitting on my shelves. What I really wanted was sturdy black jars…
