July was a whirlwind with my Mom being here off and on. Crazy to think that summer is coming to an end and school is getting ready to start back! Thank you to everyone that came in for services in June, we were able to donate $250 to St Jude in honor of Shoopy!
Just a reminder – the sun is still in full force and sunscreen is a must! Don’t let a sunburn ruin the time you have left at the beach or lake. I have that new Reef Safe Sunscreen in a spray or lotion formula!
This month’s newsletter includes info on our awesome new cleansers; Eclipse Tips; 6 Week Fit Body Challenge; and a shout out to my friend Ash who is an amazing massage therapist!

Total Eclipse Tips
So my friend Bruce is a planner and researcher (he is one of the people I traveled to Tibet with). He has been posting all sorts of great info about the Eclipse.
He suggests reading this article and printing it out to take with you.
There are all sorts of events going on in the Upstate and with all of this coolness comes a potential traffic nightmare so please plan accordingly, have fun and be safe.
Another tip from Bruce – While watching the eclipse, look for a phenomenon called “shadow bands” in the few seconds just prior to totality. These will appear as wavy lines on the ground, water, or even projected onto pavements and buildings. They are a result of the narrowing sunlight being impacted through the upper atmosphere. For best contrast, take along a large white poster board or paper, put it on the ground, and enjoy! You must take off your eclipse glasses to see the shadow bands. But be careful and don’t glance back to the sun without the glasses until totality is fully underway. The bands will also reappear at the very end of totality. Since there will be a lot of excitement at the beginning, it might be better to look for them at the end.

Fit Body Boot Camp Girls Night Out Experience
I have been working out at Fit Body Boot Camp for almost a year. It works well in my schedule; is super close to my house; quick 30 min work outs; strength, cardio and weight training. My strength has increased, muscle tone has greatly improved and has stabilized my moods.
I am participating in the challenge, something I usually don’t do but thought what the heck lets step out of my box a little. Raspberry Moon is a sponsor and I will be giving a presentation towards the end of September as part of this GNO Experience. I would love for you to join me.
Yes, as the name implies at the end of the experience we will be having a fun night out to celebrate your new fit & tight body, your renewed sense of happiness, and your reclaimed self confidence.
From the Fit Body Boot Camp website:
If this sounds different from any fitness program you’ve tried…THAT’S BECAUSE IT IS!
We are *NOT* concentrating on the scale. Sure, you’ll lose anywhere from 13-21 pounds and 4-7 inches from your belly in those 6 weeks – but that’s just a side effect of the GNO Experience.
This program is specifically designed to:
- Build self confidence
- Drop 2-4 sizes
- Tap into your inner strength
- Rediscover your true self
- Help you slide back into your skinny jeans
- Look simply stunning in your “Little Black Dress”
- Relight your sexy sparkle
- Flatten and tighten your belly
- Create a body that’s the perfect reflection of who YOU are inside
And that is truly just the beginning.
I am so excited to share this experience with you because your life is about to change for the better in ways you can’t even imagine.

Meet Ash Foster from Treat Yo Self Therapeutic Massage
I met Ash a few months ago when he volunteered to help us with the 11th Annual Spa for Spays Event for Speak for Animals. He saw my post through mutual friends and was eager to help. He said the event was the best free event he has ever done.
He was so nice and easy to work with and we had lots of mutual friends so I thought I would give his massage services a try. He is awesome! His technique is different and he does some stretching in the massage which I always need.
Several friends have gone to him as well and I have gotten great feedback from everyone. I have a weird schedule and luckily he is pretty flexible and works hours that work really well for me.
If you are in need of a great massage please check him out! Be sure to tell him you know me! And don’t even bother with an hour just do the 90 mins for $70!
