It’s time to Heal the Past, Live the Present, and Dream the Future!
This month we are going to stay close to home. We have so many fabulous events taking place in September and October. 
Last year’s Forgiveness Project helped bring awareness and understanding on what forgiveness is and how we can grow from the simple and sometimes hard act. We raised funds and awareness for the Julie Valentine Center.
This year’s theme is Heal the Past, Live the Present and Dream the Future. We’ve listed the schedule in the next section, but read the latest details on our website. The first event is Wednesday so we hope to see you there!
We are proud to support Safe Harbor in this year’s community service events.
Safe Harbor – a safe place to start a new life. This organization is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which helps victims of domestic violence in Greenville, Pickens, Anderson and Oconee Counties of South Carolina.
Their Mission:
Safe Harbor breaks the cycle of domestic violence by:
- Prevention through education
- Intervention through safe shelter
- Transformation through support
Their Vision:
To eliminate domestic violence and create a culture of healthy relationships in the Upstate of South Carolina.
Did you know that South Carolina has the highest rates of domestic violence resulting in death in the country? In 2011 there were 1,707 females murdered by men in a single victim/single offender incident. 94% of the female victims knew their offender. 61% of those women killed were wives or intimate partners of their killers.
These events are being held to help bring awareness to our community at large of the dangers of domestic abuse and violence, and to help give hope to victims of all types of abuse or pain.
We all have suffered some type of pain, if not abuse, in our lives. Join us as we share ways to help you navigate through the pain and bring healing and hope to you again.
Enjoy,
Nicole

Fall Chemical Peel Special – Celluma Anti-aging Treatments and a Saucy Chica Discount with Peel Series
Now that the worst of summer heat and sun have passed, we can get ready for fall and the holidays with some fresh new skin! To help that along, we’re offering some goodies with our Chemical Peel series.
The series of peels regularly runs $480. Prepay in the month of September for your whole series (to be finished in roughly 12 weeks) and save $80!
PLUS you will receive a free 20 minute Celluma LED Anti-Aging Light Treatment with each peel. (A $120 value)
AND you can purchase any Saucy Chica Skincare products for 50% off during your peel series.
Mostly we will be using Glycolic or Salicylic Peels, which type will depend on your skin and what you need. The peels will help with hyper-pigmentation, lines, hydration and overall health of your skin. The series of 6 peels will be done every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. This is the best time interval to do the peels.
Our peels are pretty “tingly.” Proper care of the skin is necessary – you will receive a travel size skincare with 1 oz cleanser and toner, 1/4 ounce serum and moisturizer. You will need these products for proper home care use. These will not get you through the whole peel series so take advantage of the 50% off Saucy Chica Skincare products during your peel series.
So how do you snatch up this fabulous offer?
You can purchase the series online and then call today to schedule your series so you can lock in the best times for your schedule. This offer is only available until the end of September!
What is the Celluma Light Treatment?
The Celluma™ is a phototherapy device that is FDA Approved and based on NASA technology. The Celluma™ uses specific wavelengths of light, produced by light emitting diodes (LEDs), to help you achieve better skin or relieve sore muscles:
- Red light – promotes collagen and elastin production
- Blue light – helps reduce appearance of mild to moderate acne
- Infrared light – help alleviate pain from arthritis, muscle spasms, muscle and joint pain, muscle tissue tension, and diminished circulation
Call today to book your appointments to get the best times for you. Purchase the series online before the end of September to get your Celluma treatments and Saucy Chica discount too!
Here is what a peel client from last year had to say:
“I just wanted to say … Holy amazing skin!! I can’t wait for my last peel in the series tomorrow! As I know you have seen, my skin is SO much clearer. Prior to doing the series, I had some sort of blemish all the time, usually more than one, for years … No more! Now I rarely have even one! YIPPIE!! And the texture is so smooth! When I use my oil cleanser (one of “My favorite things” though I’m no Oprah) I spend even more time because it feels so smooth to massage in! You have me hooked, and we will be doing this whole series again someday!! Much love from me, and my skin!” -Chemical Peel Series
