I assure you this is a magazine you want in your reading pile. The topics provide guidelines on how to live your best healthful life.

Have you thought about Plastic Surgery? Well, if your answer is yes, you will want to read what her “Core Expert” has to say about things you should consider. It is an article you can trust because Dr. Ashton reveals that her brother is a “renowned reconstructive plastic surgeon“…
Do you want advice on how to get more sleep, or what foods you should have in your diet? Do you want to look younger at any age? What is “Exercise Snacking“? These are just some of the topics that you can look forward to reading. And there is a lot more.

In addition, I hear Dr. Jen Ashton is coming out with a 3rd issue of her Better Magazine in May 2024.

Essential Oils for Stress

Aromatic Studies is a school I am very familiar with because I am a graduate of that institution.

In a recent blog post by Holly Brandenberger who is a Registered Nurse and Certified Aromatherapist, she shares her choices for essential oils to use for stress and well-being. It is a real find to have this information available for free just by clicking the link below.

The added benefit is knowing that she is a registered nurse who suggests that these powerful oils, which are produced from plants, are some things that we can find and use for our wellness regimen and well-being exploration.

Take a look when you find a moment. I assure you that you will not be disappointed. Afterall, what can we lose when there is plant powered guidance for us to use?

All the best in Wellness!

Cancer Awareness Month and Hair Donation Charities

Hello Everyone,

Each year on HairBlues, during October, I show information regarding Breast Cancer Awareness with advice on various beauty options available to those who want support in their daily ”looking and feeling good” confidence whilst they proceed through the various challenges of chemotherapy, radiation and all those many days of journeying and taking those steps with the courage that leads to Wellness again.

This year I am sharing links about hair donation requirements. In addition, there is information about how to acquire hair, cooling caps, and hair coverings. https://cancercareservices.org/news/where-to-donate-your-wig-or-hair/
