It is my favorite time of the year! I pulled all the Halloween boxes the other day and started decorating everything. I am actually decorating the house this year!
Have you decorated for Halloween yet? Any plans for costume parties? I have to come up with mine still for this year. Please post some fun stuff on Raspberry Moon’s Facebook. I love seeing everyone’s creative ideas.
Love,
Nicole

Since being Vegetarian or Vegan is becoming more popular, there are lots of restaurants that are offering food choices, classes and groups to be involved in.
If I find anything else cool going on I will post it on Facebook and Instagram. If there is a place that you love, please feel free to post to Raspberry Moon.
Product of the Month – Limited Time Bath Products
When we were in St. Augustine a few weeks ago, we came across this cool store with fun bath products. They had the best displays so I had to go in and check them out.
The store had such fun things I decided to bring some back with me. So for a limited time we will have some fun, crazy soap, bath fizzies and sugar scrubs. These would make lovely hostess gifts, birthday gifts, and dare I say Holiday prezzies.
What I have in stock is all I am going to have so get them while the getting is good. Prices range from $3ish to $15ish.
Treatment of the Month – Passionfruit Lifting Toning Facial Treatment
This blends all the best things I have into one Treatment: Skin Script Skincare, Viktoria De’Ann Peptides and PEPTI-nano Mask combined with Celluma Light.

The Passionfruit enzyme is meant to increase blood circulation and firm the skin. Passionfruit is a natural enzyme, as well as a great antioxidant to give the skin a healthy glow. Kollaren peptide increases resiliency and elasticity in the skin.
Because this enzyme creates dermal warmth, it is not recommended for rosacea, couperose, sensitive skin, clients with melasma, or Fitzpatricks 4 – 6. It is normal for the skin to appear red and warm for several hours.
We will use Viktoria De’ann Peptides that will work to lift, tone and plump the skin, followed by the amazing PEPTI-nano Mask which intensely hydrates and helps transfer active peptide serums during treatment to amplify results. Each mask is produced naturally from pure microbial cellulose. Then the treatment is layered with our Celluma Light Therapy which has been FDA-cleared as a device that helps improve cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissue cells.
These are beautiful results for a special event and even more fabulous done in a series.
$130 for a single 75 minute treatment
Or do a series of 6 for $750 (regular cost is $780).

Enhance your results at home with the Viktoria De’Ann Lift Kit, the perfect combination of targeted anti-aging peptides. In this kit you will receive a Pepti-lift and Pepti-tone which help provide the proper skin tension and tone to tighten skin back to a more youthful appearance. The Pepti-Eye serum’s powerful UET-3 peptide aims to eliminate puffiness and dark circles under the eye. Finally Rejuvenator’s peptides support a proper cell turnover to bring healthy new vibrant cells to the surface and provide a totally new lifted healthy look.
Check the shop for a special gift with purchase offer I’m not allowed to post online!
PK Night is December 6th
We just finished our second successful PechaKucha Night. What is PechaKucha? It is a quick, concise format to tell a story or give a presentation with 20 slides and only 20 seconds per slide! So in 6 minutes and 40 seconds you have told your story.

Does this sound like fun to you? Check out our next event on Friday, December 6, 2019 at Brains on Fire. Doors open at 7:30 pm and presentations begin at 8:20pm. Yes that is correct, 8:20 pm or 2020. (Get it? 20 slides 20 seconds!)
So mark your calendars now and plan on spending the evening in The Villages checking out some of the cool artists, and grabbing a bite to eat at Coastal Crust Pizza, Kuka Juice, GBD, or Anchorage, or some coffee and a pastry at The Village Grind.
