Many women want to enjoy a spa or salon experience but don't have the time to take a day off of work and go to a Napa County facility so we have created the perfect venue where working women can enjoy one, two or all day treatments at our wonderful Spa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no other Day Spa or Salon like Jovance Beauty and Wellness. For me, I love they way the Spa looks. It is so beautiful and I feel like a movie star when I get there. I am treated like a queen and get pampered head to toe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you value access to this high quality Day Spa and Salon we need your support to keep our business growing. You can help up by inviting others to visit the salon or showing our website and blog. We always have events and that should make it easy for you to help support Jovance. When our customer base grows we then have the resources and clientele to grow and expand our stores to other cities and that would make everyone happy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I support Jovance. I love the team members and the amazing work they do. I want my Day Spa and Salon in Vallejo and I value the environmentally friendly products Jovance uses that are very natural. They also have an eye for good beauty and good products and that is why they are my choice! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can support Jovance by visiting the Salon, sending us referral customers and by blogging.

At Jovance we care about the whole woman... both inside and out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NUMBER ONE KILLER OF WOMEN IS HEART DISEASE and Jovance wants you to live a long and healthy life. So you may be wondering how do I keep my heart healthy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We first suggest you become in charge of your life by taking the You Are a CEO program www.youareaceo.com and then you will be ready to live your life as an organized person who is balanced between work and home. This is good for your heart because it reduces stress which is directly linked to heart disease. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A healthy lifestyle is a balanced diet, regular exercising and having a normal weight will reduce your risks of heart disease. "The Heart Truth" campaign is a program of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute that aims to raise awareness and provide education about the risk of heart disease in women. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of their sponsors is Celestial Seasonings tea. They support this movement because they know that just two cups of black tea a day provides as many heart-healthy flavonoids as one serving of fruit or vegetables. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Green and white teas also have high levels of antioxidants and that is probably why so many people are giving up their coffee for tea. You can learn more at www.hearttruth.gov or womenheart.org or www.youareaceo.com where the woman you love can decrease her risks of heart disease by becoming the CEO of HER LIFE! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: You can show your support for women like my mother who have heart disease by wearing the red dress pin.

This confection is absolutely fabulous. My Grandma's fudge claw on me is over... and I now am hooked on Stalaros and Cacao Anasa Chocolates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cacao Anasa fudge has an amazing mixture of taste, texture and appeal that surpasses any and all fudge I have ever tasted. It is just perfect with out being too sweet, too sugary or too full of walnuts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Coconut Milk-Espresso Fudge Deluxe will leave grandma's fudge plate untouched. The Coconut Milk-Espresso Fudge Deluxe is rich with tiny bits of roasted walnut blended in a rich chocolate fudge coated with dark chocolate coating and then sprinkled with just a dash of Hawaiian Red Sea Salt. The Hawaiian Red Sea Salt gives you the effect of adding salt to French Bread and Butter... It makes it pop! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To purchase these chocolates contact Stalaros designer shoes, accessories and apparel at 137 Plaza Drive Suite 321 Vallejo Ca 94591. www.stalaros.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4395172562365872005-3693981651529576394?l=jovancespa.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jovance/~4/xfL1MtfIgBY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Jovance/~3/xfL1MtfIgBY/holiday-fudge-at-stalaros-upstairs-from.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie P - CEO 4 Life)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://jovancespa.blogspot.com/2007/12/holiday-fudge-at-stalaros-upstairs-from.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395172562365872005.post-6253258105495211607</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-03T11:47:31.585-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">What Are Your Favorite Things?

I feel like I should be on vacation from Thanksgiving until At Least a week after New Years. I guess is just the cold and all the eating that make me so lazy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I saw some commercials for Oprah's show where she shares her favorite things and I thought well, I have favorite things too and we might as well share. Of course the top of my list of favorite things are from Jovance:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everything Aveda... shampoo, skincare, body care.&lt;/strong&gt; I especially love the Clove Shampoo which keep my hair color dark and rich even in between colors and I don't have to color as often either. I also love the Smooth Infusion Shampoo which I alternate with because it makes my hair so shiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I love my Blackberry &lt;/strong&gt;which my co workers lovingly call my "CrackBerry" because I am an addict with it. I am bad. It is the first think I do in the morning and the last thing at night, if I don't check it every so often I get a wierd feeling in my stomach, like oh my God what am I missing? Who called, text or emailed me? Geeze and who know what kind of spam I may have that I need to act fast on... ha ha ha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oh and I love Cacao Anasa Chocolates&lt;/strong&gt;. The everything chocolate experience... this is as wild as chocolate can get folks... and we exclusively carry it at Stalaors. Imagine: Cardamon, Rose Petals, Hawaiian Red Sea Salt and Pistachio... yes with chocolate... Its Crazy... Its love... Its an Obsession! And Please don't try the cookies...They are INsanity! Dark chocolate, walnuts, espresso and fudge...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I love Oprah, Lifeskills 411 and people who get up early to go to the Gym.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love "clean" little kids dressed up on Sunday for Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love flowers, white orchids, pink roses and blue Pansy's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love colorful birds, playful kittens and the smell of puppy breath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the teal blue water in Tahiti, soft and the paintings of Eyvind Earle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a magical artist who worked for Disney before going out on his own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see some of what he does at: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.palettecontemporary.com/gallery/show.php?page=2&amp;artist=143&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like landscapes and to daydream... he is your man. Google him too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I bared my soul, tell us "What Are Your Favorite Things"?

This Thanksgiving Holiday Dinner we had a Value-Centered approach where we simply placed the food out and let them make their how plates but I don't think anyone was suspecting the 1000 calorie per serving Macaroni and Cheese or a my friend I/E says &lt;strong&gt;"Cheese and Macaroni". &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is so full of calories because I use industrial cream, butter and tons of cheese so that when you are making 10 lbs of Macaroni it wont be dry and it will stay creamy even after 1 or 2 days in the fridge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here is the Secrets of my Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese: The secret to my sauce is &lt;em&gt;shush&lt;/em&gt; "hot sauce". I use both red Crystal Hot Sauce and Green Tabasco in my cheese sauce to make it &lt;em&gt;spicy&lt;/em&gt; and then I add some Velveeta for sharpness and that super cheese flavor and then the super special secret is "Hickory Farms" Smokey Log Cheese. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to write me if you want more details that this... so super Yum-o.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4395172562365872005-1682828625434622884?l=jovancespa.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jovance/~4/U0ZgB1khGXQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Jovance/~3/U0ZgB1khGXQ/my-thanksgiving-mac-and-cheese.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie P - CEO 4 Life)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://jovancespa.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-thanksgiving-mac-and-cheese.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395172562365872005.post-6098616341808051944</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Nov 2007 20:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-27T12:33:36.569-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Stalaros</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jovance Beauty and Wellness</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">holiday shopping</category><title>Thanksgivng at Jovance</title><description>The Jovance Team had a wonderful time on Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Holiday Events.

I was looking for a face cream because I was seeing sign of dryness especially on my cheeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wonderful team at Jovance explained that in the winter your skin needs extra protection and moisture. The face cream and foundation I was using was for summer and did not have what my skin needed for winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One application and I was certain they were right. At first I felt the face cream would be too thick but I was wrong. My face absorbed it right away and oooh it felt soooo good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must try it. I also bought the tourmaline charged eye cream and I looked 5 years younger. I also did not get oily as with other products I had used in the past that did not absorb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go Jovance. Your products are excellent.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4395172562365872005-8733192091945614119?l=jovancespa.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jovance/~4/pR9ozMVJ0aw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Jovance/~3/pR9ozMVJ0aw/tourmaline-charged-hydrating-cream.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie P - CEO 4 Life)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://jovancespa.blogspot.com/2007/11/tourmaline-charged-hydrating-cream.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395172562365872005.post-3135305535882353612</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-09T10:31:19.778-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Holiday Makeovers</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aveda</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jovance Beauty and Wellness</category><title>Holiday Makeovers Are Here</title><description>Are you looking for a Holiday Makeover?

Parker</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jovance Beauty and Wellness</category><title>Women and Money!</title><description>Day Spas and Salon services are life essentials for most women. How can they afford it? Many say investing and managing their money right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael E. Parker, Terrance Fulton and Elealeh Smith recently delivered a moving financial seminar at the Emeryville Hilton. The event moved me greatly even though I have heard them speak several times already. After the event I reflected about the life I lead because I did invest and make provisions for my financial future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was married at 25 for about 9 years. My husband was not a saver nor very good at handling our finances in general. His earnings were sporadic and spending habits consistently increasing. Despite these challenges I did manage to secretly save and invest 4-10k in various mutual funds during our marriage but by the time we were divorced I was just about penniless. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting over at 35 was a challenge but once I started healing emotionally I knew I needed to invest because I now had just one income – mine. I decided to again invest in mutual funds because I felt safe there but I soon realized that I was never going to get rich there with the funds I had and so I turned to real estate which I could buy with very little down. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first home as a divorced woman was a foreclosure in Stockton California I bought for about 215k which I later sold for $275,000. After that I purchased 2 more homes for $265,000 and $310,000 which both doubled earning me over a half of a million dollars in equity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wealth I made saved my life when I was laid off from my job and needed to find a way to survive. With out this equity from my investment I would have been in financial ruin. The real estate market I had long earned an income from dried up and finding a job &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;with a paycheck &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;was a challenge with no other skills. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I faced living over 14 months with little source of income but I had plenty to live on (thank God) due to these investments! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I share this story to show the public that many women will face divorces, job challenges or just unforeseen circumstances and if you don't have any savings or investment vehicles you can be in dire straits and that may hinder your spa and salon activities... (a major life crisis). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real estate market in most areas is depressed but there still are markets globally that will earn equity if you buy right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I support Lifeskills 411 because they teach our youth the necessary things they need to know in life such as investment skills, financial literacy, budgeting, positive relationships and so forth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I would have had lifeskills 411 growing up I probably would never have made all the mistakes I did. I urge you to attend our upcoming gala on December 8th from 6pm- 8pm at the Emeryville Hilton so you can learn how you can help our youth... It Takes YOU! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please go to Jovance, get all dolled up and be counted on Saturday December 8th from 6pm - 8 pm. I believe women need to learn about money, finances and investing earlier in life and it starts at home but when home fail, school or program such as lifeskills 411 can give youth the information to lead better adult lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4395172562365872005-7796928219022795719?l=jovancespa.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jovance/~4/gvYROjcVDLo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Jovance/~3/gvYROjcVDLo/women-and-money.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie P - CEO 4 Life)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://jovancespa.blogspot.com/2007/11/women-and-money.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395172562365872005.post-6093988509670382988</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-06T13:43:14.632-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Chocolate and Women</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Women Love Chocolate</category><title>Day Spa's, Women And Chocolate Just Go Together</title><description>Why Women Love Day Spa's is easy to figure out but why so many love Chocolate can be a little harder for some to understand. To me what's the Mystery, its yummy and we crave it. I love the taste and the way I feel eating it. It seems to fill up a hole that only chocolate can fill up. I enjoying the entire experience, It puts me into a great mood. There are times I just have to have it. Times when my inner chocolate meter gets low and goes off only chocolate will satisfy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Women and Chocolate just go together like peanut butter and jelly. We use chocolate to celebrate, make up and cheer up. It consoles our children and our best and worst days. Some say women crave chocolate for the magnesium and some say it is a aphrodisiacs and I believe both are true and for that and more women love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a local company that is making the best chocolate I have ever tasted and I do believe I am somewhat of an authority. This chocolate satisfies... Really. I have a friend who also loves Jovance and the finer things in life as I do and she agrees that one bite of this chocolate and the cravings we get stop dead in their tracks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Chocolate Company creates the wildest inventions I have ever heard of: Dark Chocolate, Cayenne, Sea Salt, Persimmons... and it goes on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out Cacao Anasa -The Everything Chocolate Experience! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cacao Anasa is a San Francisco based chocolate company run by my friend Anthony...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experience chocolate at the pinnacle of indulgence....

The energy used to produce and dispose of junk mail exceeds 2.8 million cars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Save water&lt;/strong&gt;. About 28 billion gallons of water are wasted to produce and recycle junk each year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Save time&lt;/strong&gt;. You waste about 70 hours a year dealing with junk mail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The pulp and paper industry is the single largest consumer of water used in industrial activities&lt;/strong&gt; in developed countries, and it’s the &lt;strong&gt;third-largest industrial greenhouse gas emitter&lt;/strong&gt; (after the chemical and steel industries). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The average adult receives 41 pounds of junk mail each year (about 560 pieces). 44% goes to the landfill unopened. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On average, we receive 10.8 pieces of junk mail a week, compared to only 1.5 personal letters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 62 billion pieces (4 million tons) of junk mail are produced each year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of household waste consists of junk mail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40% of the solid mass that makes up our landfills is paper and paperboard waste. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Junk mail inks have high concentrations of heavy metals, making the paper difficult to recycle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$320 million of local taxes are used to dispose of junk mail each year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California’s state and local governments spend $500,000 a year collecting and disposing of AOL’s direct mail disks alone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Transporting junk mail costs $550 million a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your name is typically worth 3 to 20 cents each time it is sold. Lists of names and addresses used in bulk mailings reside in mass data-collection networks. By stopping credit card offers and other junk mail, you’ll help protect your identity from theft and fraud. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;41pounds.org eliminates 80-95% of junk mailings for you by contacting dozens of direct marketers on your behalf. Of course you can contact the companies who send you junk mail yourself but we do it faster and with more precision. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By reducing your junk mail for 5 years, you’ll conserve 1.7 trees and 700 gallons of water, and prevent 460 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere — and you’ll gain about 350 hours of free time!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4395172562365872005-2430520080588695592?l=jovancespa.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jovance/~4/Aqw9zJPhZ88" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Jovance/~3/Aqw9zJPhZ88/jovance-cares-about-our-environment.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie P - CEO 4 Life)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://jovancespa.blogspot.com/2007/11/jovance-cares-about-our-environment.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395172562365872005.post-9200120552549212141</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Nov 2007 18:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-06T11:02:23.218-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Michael E.
