Discover the Benefits of a Full-Body Massage Hollywood FL – Part 2

Why is massage so effective? (Discover the Benefits of a Full-Body Massage Hollywood FL– Part 1)

Massage Hollywood FL - A Massage Hollywood FL from Drew James Salon & Spa, involves the direct manipulation of the physical body. A Massage Hollywood FL works so well on a host of conditions because massage encourages the body to relax. When the body is in a relaxed state, heart beat and breathing slow down, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormones go down as serotonin, the feel-good hormone rises. As a result, the many risks associated with stress – cardiovascular disease, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue to name just a few – are significantly reduced.

Massage Hollywood FL – In addition, the manipulation of soft tissue and muscle results in improved blood and lymph circulation, as well as reduced tension in the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and associated nerves. This allows for a more effective release of toxins from the body, improving health at the cellular level.

Here are some additional reasons why you owe it to yourself to get a full-body Massage Hollywood FL at Drew James Salon and Spa.  A full-body Massage Hollywood FL will help:

•    Reduce pain by releasing hormones known as endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killer.
•    Increase the flexibility of hip, shoulder, knee and other joints.
•    Stretch and loosen tight and/or weak muscles
•    Improve the quality and length of sleep
•    Improve respiration
•    Decrease water retention and cramping that occur during the menstrual cycle
•    Improve mental clarity and concentration
•    … and much, much more.

Join in Aveda’s Bottle Cap Recycling Program with Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation

Aveda and Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation’s plan to recycle bottle caps which fill our landfills, endanger animals, and damage our environment:
 

Aveda salon, Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation – By now most of us have gotten used to sorting through our garbage to determine which items we can recycle and which will be going to our overwhelmed land fills. Possibly the most frustrating part of this to us at Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation is the fact that the lids to the bottles we use regularly are not recyclable in most areas.

Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation and Aveda have stepped up to the plate to launch an educational recycling program involving teachers and parents to teach children about recycling and engage the community in disposing of these nuisance bottle tops that pose a threat to nature and our environment.  Check out the details of the program here:

Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation – Aveda found that a majority of plastic bottle caps do not get recycled today.

Often these caps used at Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation and virtually all other salons end up as litter or trash and migrate into our rivers and oceans. Birds and other marine creatures mistake them for food with tragic results. The magnitude of this pollution problem is devastating to our oceans and wildlife and saddens Aveda and Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation.

Your school can be part of the solution by joining recycle Caps with Aveda and Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation .

*Join Aveda’s caps recycling initiative that helps extend the current boundaries of recycling and elicits participation through our community. Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation and Aveda, In partnership with community schools, preschool through 12^th grade, have built a recycling program for plastic bottle caps. Aveda has been able to work closely with our suppliers to develop ways to make new caps from the recycled caps collected at Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation . We currently incorporate caps into our professional hair care line and will continue to incorporate recycled caps into future Aveda products.

What type of caps do we collect at Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation?
The program accepts caps that are rigid plastic, sometimes noted with a 5 in the chasing arrows recycling symbol.

Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation – This includes caps that twist on with a threaded neck such as caps on shampoo, water, soda, milk and other beverage bottles and pharmaceutical lids, flip top caps on tubes and food product bottles (such as ketchup and mayonnaise), laundry detergents and some jar lids such as peanut butter.

Excluded from collection at Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation are non rigid lids such as yogurt lids, tub lids (margarine, cottage cheese), and screw on lids that are not rigid. Please do not include any metal lids or plastic pumps or sprayers. Unfortunately, too much of the wrong types of materials can contaminate the recycling process. Drew James Salon Hollywood FL and Plantation’s mission is to encourage local recyclers to accept plastic bottle caps.

Join the Recycle Caps with Aveda campaign and feel great knowing that your plastic caps will be repurposed into new packaging and kept from entering our waterways and harming wildlife.

Drew James Hair Salon Plantation FL & Daymakers!

At Drew James Hair Salon Plantation FL, we share Aveda’s mission, ‘… to care for the world we live in, from the products we use to the ways we give back to society.’ And we strive to make your haircuts, beauty, and styling experiences with us ‘transformational!’ But what if we at Drew James Salon Plantation, along with you, could take it a step farther and change the world we live in simply by ‘making someone’s day!’

Staff at Drew James Hair Salon Plantation FL Recently Learned About David Wagner and …

The Experience that Changed His Life

It only takes a moment to make someone’s day – to become a daymaker – and sometimes those moments even change lives as I discovered a number of years ago. I was working in my salon one day when a client came in to have her hair styled. I was surprised to see her, since it was right in the middle of her five-week period between hair cuts. I figured that she must have an important social engagement, so I asked her about her evening plans.

‘I don’t have anything special going on,’ she told me. ‘I just want to look and feel good tonight.’

I gave her a great scalp massage, then shampooed and styled her hair. During our 30 minutes together, we joked and laughed. At the end, she smiled radiantly, hugging me goodbye.

A few days later when I received a letter from this client, I began to realize the enormous potential of Daymaking. My client admitted that she had wanted her hair styled so it would look good for her own funeral. She had planned to commit suicide that evening. But the wonderful time she had during our appointment had given her hope that things could get better. She decided to check herself into the hospital and get professional help. She thanked me for caring, even though I hadn’t known what she was going through. She wrote ‘thank you for being there, without knowing that you were.’

I was stunned. I had spent time with this woman about once a month for three years, yet that day I had no inkling she was so distressed. I was glad to have made such a difference, yet the experience left me with an enormous sense of responsibility. What if I had been upset, distracted, or hurried when she came to see me?

That experience made me take stock of myself as a stylist and as a person. How many of the ten clients I saw every day might be in personal crisis that I would never know about? Even if it were only one person a day, I might have no way of knowing who needed some extra attention.

I resolved to treat every person I met like that woman. It might sound like a lot of work, but it wasn’t hard to have fun with my client that day. It was natural and made my day brighter, too. I vowed to give care and attention to everyone I saw. I figured it would make their day a little better, and who knows, it might save a life.

I still thank my client for the gift of that letter because it changed my life as much as my kindness changed hers. When you realize the difference you can make for others, whether by spending a light-hearted half-hour together, giving them a smile, or simply holding the door open for them, your whole approach to life shifts. Why have random acts of kindness when we can have intentional acts of good will?
