Total Beauty Experience has partnered with Dr. Ernie Bodai to build awareness for Cure Breast Cancer, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing breast health awareness to all women and their families. Dr. Bodai introduced the first ever “global Stamp”…the breast cancer stamp raising awareness and funding to conquer the disease worldwide.

In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Cure Breast Cancer, Inc., Total Beauty Experience has set up a table of all pink products, including blow dryers, flatirons, brushes, haircare products, lotions, candles, reed diffusers, etc….all of these products are from manufacturers that contributed a portion of the purchase price to breast cancer organizations. When someone purchases one of these items, they receive as a gift a pink lightbulb (while supplies last) to help “Light the Town Pink”.

So visit Total Beauty Experience today to make a purchase that will support breast cancer organizations and give you a pink lightbulb that you can use to help “Light the Town Pink”!

PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY SECRETS

An intelligent approach to laundry can mean the difference between an heirloom tablecloth and a lovely dust rag.

To help prevent dark laundry from fading:

• Treat stains before laundering; cold water isn’t as effective as hot water for removing stains.

• Fasten buttons, snaps and zippers, and turn clothes inside out.

• Fill your machine with cold water and select a short cycle.

• Use a detergent formulated especially for dark loads.

• Remove dryer-safe items from dryer while still damp. The friction of tumble dryers can hasten fading.

• Dry away from direct sunlight.

To help keep white laundry bright:

• Check the fabric care label and use the hottest water recommended.

• Wrap the peel of a lemon in cheesecloth and drop it into the wash load. Or, dilute a quarter cup of hydrogen peroxide with a cup of water and add it to the rinse cycle.

• Dry outdoors in full sunlight whenever possible.

• Use oxygen bleach as a laundry booster.

STAIN REMOVAL MADE EASY

Alas, no stain remedy is foolproof. Stains are often wilier than we are. Proceed with caution as you use these tips — if you suspect that a remedy may be too harsh or damaging to the fabric, modify accordingly. You may also consider Caldrea’s Stain Balm for effective stain removal.

Caldrea wants their products to be at their optimum freshness and safety throughout their useful lifetime, so they use the minimal amount of synthetic preservatives to accomplish this — in fact, less than one percent.  Their products use a combination of natural essential oils and safe synthetic materials. Caldrea chooses this approach to provide consistent performance, quality, and safety in every bottle.

Earth-Friendly Products

• All Caldrea products are phthalate-free.

• All Caldrea liquid products are biodegradable.

• Some of their powder products contain minerals that do not biodegrade, but do break down into non-harmful decomposition products.

• Caldrea products do not contain ammonia, chlorine, phosphates or petroleum distillates.

• Caldrea packaging is recyclable.

• They do not test products on animals. In order to make a true claim that a product is non-toxic — one that is recognized by the FDA — animal testing is required. Because we do not test on animals, we do not make the claim of non-toxic. In the meantime, Caldrea is investigating in-vitro (test tube) methodologies that, in the future, may be able to support a non-toxic formulation process. At present, they have a toxicologist review all of our formulations against a mathematical, theoretical model for safety assessment.

• You will not find antibacterial or antiseptic ingredients in Caldrea household cleansers.

• Caldrea makes intelligent, responsible raw material choices, and whenever possible, obtain materials from renewable plant resources such as olive, coconut, corn or soy. At times they choose not to use a plant-derived material for reasons of efficacy, consistency and safety.

• Caldrea manufactures according to exacting personal care standards in a cosmetic-grade cGMP facility. cGMP is an abbreviation for the term “current Good Manufacturing Practice,” which refers to FDA regulations regarding the manufacturing, testing, and quality control of pharmaceutical and food products.

Earth-Friendly Practices

• Caldrea is about Paper reduction: They use electronic communication whenever possible. If paper is necessary, they use recycled-content paper. They reuse paper for printing as much as they can.

• Gas usage reduction: A number of employees choose to walk, ride bikes, take public transportation, or carpool to work.

• Compost machine: Centrally located in the home office lunchroom, it reduces food waste by turning it into nutrient-rich soil that their employees take home and use in their gardens. Endearingly named “Chewbacca,” this little dirt-maker is their surrogate office pet.

• Green Team: Caldrea has instituted a team to help them address key environmental issues and execute green initiatives both at work and in their personal lives. The Green Team frequently facilitates events to help them improve and learn. The members of this team are passionate and inspiring in their fervent efforts toward the greater good.

Caldrea has only just begun…

Here are just a few areas they will continue to assess and improve on in their commitment to being environmentally responsible:

• Materials sourcing
• Manufacturing processes
• Research and product development
• Internal operations

• highly effective,
• consistently earth friendly,
• not tested on animals,
• a pleasure to use,
• and sold at Total Beauty Experience!

NURSERY ROOM TREASURES

The task of furnishing and decorating your baby’s room can be overwhelming, to put it mildly. If you’re a first-time parent-to-be, you’ll soon discover that there are dozens of websites devoted to crib bumpers, wallpaper borders, color schemes and themes. But most moms who have already “been there, done that” will tell you that the secret to a lovely nursery is simple: decorate to please yourself — because, as long as you’re there, your baby won’t care.

Instead of going all out on a teddy bear picnic, or a shrine to choo-choo trains, modern moms and dads are keeping it simple, using neutral colors and simple, low-maintenance furnishings that will last until their kids are old enough to declare their own favorite colors and interests. Here are a few tips for personal touches that will add warmth, cheer, and personality to your nursery:

• Reduce and reuse. Rather than paying retail for a whole suite of furniture that you’ll be hauling out to a yard sale in two years, ask family and friends if you can buy or borrow an outgrown crib or changing tables.

• Use non-toxic paints for walls and furniture. Some “green” paints are milk-based; others are made with plant-derived ingredients like linseed oil.

• Fill a bookshelf with the books and toys you loved as a child.

• Load an MP3 player with music that you find soothing. If you’ll be comforted by lullabies and string quartets, great. If you’d rather listen to Rufus Wainwright or the Decemberists, there’s no rule that says your musical tastes have to change now that you have a baby.

• Get a really comfortable chair, preferably one that’s comfortable enough to doze in. One new mom Caldrea knows says that she always thought recliners were ugly — until she had a colicky newborn on her hands. Now a rocking recliner is the best seat in the house.

• Frame artwork made by your baby’s older siblings and cousins to decorate the room.

Our most valuable piece of advice might be this: Don’t procrastinate! If you’re planning to paint the walls or refinish a crib, do it sooner rather than later. If you’re thinking about buying items from Internet or catalog merchants, order early. The last weeks of pregnancy are stressful enough without worrying whether your baby will arrive before the changing table does!
