BEAUTY SLEEP is a REAL thing!

BEAUTY SLEEP is a REAL thing!!!


Did you know that there is a direct connection between poor or lack of sleep and accelerated aging, weight gain, weakened immune system, slower detoxification, anxiety and even brain damage.  YIKES! 

In the Beauty Biz we not only need to be able to perform precisely, with grace and a smile, we need to look the part, we need to always be fresh and in style.  Not getting enough sleep makes it hard to FLOURISH.   Think about it...   lack of sleep = dark circle and bags under eyes, foggy brain, and increased chance of getting sick.  

 I firmly believe we are in the best industry ever.  However, it can be physically and mentally exhausting.  We are always "ON" It is our job to give 110% to each and everyone of our guests.  WE are BEAUTY BIZ ATHLETES,  training for the a marathon, which is our career.  Athlete's know they need to allow their body to rest to and rejuvenate to reach peak condition.  

Also, in the Beauty Biz... we tend to work crazy hours and like to have a good time ;-)    Which is all good, we just need to remember to prioritize our sleep!  I am much better at it now because my body just won't keep going.  LOL   
Are you getting enough sleep?

The National Sleep Foundation suggests that adults need 7 - 9 hours of sleep per night.  Remember this is a general recommendation.  You may need more, you may need less.  I know I definitely need at least 8 sometimes 9 hours of sleep.   
How much do you need?

SWEET DREAMS!

Cold and flu season is here! Working closely with so many people, it can be a challenge to avoid getting sick this time of year. Below are a few tips to help you stay healthy this winter. Keeping healthy is so important because, if we are not behind the chair, we are not making money! Wash your hands...often! Doing shampoos makes this one pretty easy, but remember to wash your hands throughout the day as well. Clean your station at the beginning and end of your shift. Wipe down the chair and tools you used that day. Don't touch your face. This helps with skincare too of course! Eat healthy. Feed your body the vitamins it needs for a healthy immune system. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system. Relax. Do more of what helps you stress-less.
