The Gift of Thanksgiving

by Emmanuel

JP_Give thanks_11_28_13

All of us know that in the month of November we celebrate the Day of Thanksgiving…but what about the other 364 days of the year???

Do you celebrate Thanksgiving each and every day? You would if you understood the “Gift of Thanksgiving” and its power to overcome difficulties, depression, anxiety, disappointment, failures and so much more that we are faced with each day of our lives.

Giving thanks is easy when everything is good, going our way or when we get what we want. The true power and the life changing aspect of giving thanks is finding the powerful discipline to give thanks  even in the midst of life’s challenges. It is not that we are giving thanks for the challenge, but instead giving thanks that God loves us so much that even in the midst of the challenges He is by our side and IS working all things together for the good.

This discipline needs to be practiced with great diligence to see it change storms into calm seas and failures into successes. The choice to discipline our thoughts and our words – to be thankful for not what is seen but rather what is hoped for – activates our faith and gives God the praise and thanks in Him rather than in the things of this world or the circumstances of our life.

So this year as you sit down and give thanks… remember to give thanks for not only the good that you see, but also that which is unseen, and being worked out, by God, for the Good! By doing this, every day, you unleash the true “Gift of Thanksgiving!”

                  “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” (Philippians 4:8, 9 MSG)

How Hot Water Affects How Hair Shines

by Emmanuel

JP_TempHandels_11_7_13

Click below to listen: 

Not so hot! One of the bad habits many of us continue to do when washing our hair, is using hot water. Although hot water may feel good on our body in the shower, it actually causes your hair cuticles to swell. When your cuticles swell, it creates an uneven surface, the result? Your hair looks dull. Instead, rinse your hair with cold or lukewarm water to close the cuticle and create an all over shine.

Feed the “Root” of Hair Loss.

by Emmanuel

bigstock-The-Tree-And-Rood-9695642

We have all heard the saying, “you need to get to the root of the problem in order to find a solution.” Finding a hair loss solution is no different. When a woman comes in to see me to ask about a solution for her hair loss she is looking to find a solution that takes care of what she sees in the mirror every day. Yet, it is just as important that we also work on a solution for what is unseen and may be the root of the problem of hair loss.

Much like a tree, hair has a root called the follicle. If the follicle of the hair is not getting the right nutrients it can cause the hair to grow thinner, go dormant or even fall out. This is why maintaining a healthy diet and finding the right nutritional supplement, comprised of natural elements, can make a difference in keeping hair strong and beautiful while also maintaining hair for as long as possible.

Soft Hair & A Soft Heart

by Emmanuel

What happens to your hair when it gets hard? It looks bad and breaks. The same thing happens to your heart. We have all been hurt by someone and have become bitter, the only way to soften your heart is to moisturize it with love and compassion.

Watch my video above as I give you the exercise to help you soften your heart:

  1. On a piece of paper write down everything you may be angry about.
  2. Then, safely light it on fire and let those words become ashes.

And remember, just as Proverbs 4 says, “guard your heart, it’s the wellspring of good life.” Today, guard your heart by letting go of that which makes it hard.

No Hair Tangles for Sleeping Beauty!

by Emmanuel

Tangles and snarls and bed head, oh my! One of the worst things for your hair and your hair replacement system is the sleep that your body so desperately needs. Luckily, I’m here to help. Watch my video above and follow these three beauty tips, to protect your hair, before laying down for your beauty sleep:

  1. Sleep with a satin pillowcase. We move throughout the night and using a satin pillowcase prevents friction.
  2. Before going to bed, spray my Beautiful Hair Spray Conditioner onto hair and gently distribute with a wet brush, paddle brush, or vent brush.
  3. When you wake up, spray water onto your hair because all of the Beautiful Hair and Aquage products are reactivated with water.

Ask Jeffrey: “I Need A Solution to Thinning Eyebrows”

by Emmanuel

Maxi-after-in-mirror

“Over the years my eyebrows have greatly thinned. Each morning I spend close to 30 minutes putting on my eyebrows and I am always concerned that they are not even and fearful they could wipe off by accident. I long for the day I don’t need to worry about this any longer. Is there anything I can do?” – Maxie

Maxie, this is a great question and a question that I believe many women experience every day.  The solution that I have found to have exceptional results is permanent makeup.

Permanent makeup or Micro pigmentation is a procedure in which an organic pigment is embedded beneath the skin to add permanent color. Permanent makeup involves the use of a hand-held device that punctures the skin hundreds of times per minute with very thin needles and pushes the pigment into the desired location – very similar to receiving a tattoo.

beforeafterPermanent makeup can be performed in areas that include: eyeliner, eyebrows, lip liner, or lip fill. It can also be performed for camouflage of scars or birthmarks.

The best part about permanent makeup is that it is extremely natural looking, has very little pain or discomfort associated with it and it allows you to have a maintenance free solution to thinning eyebrows.

Beachwood Plastic Surgery  & Medical Spa specializes in permanent makeup. They, along with my team at Jeffrey Paul Salon, will be partnering together for the “A New You: Hair Loss Makeover Contest.”

As a part of this $3,000 the winner will receive permanent makeup and airbrush application.  If you are interested in learning more about this contest Click Here. If you are interested in entering to win this makeover:

She also shared one of her favorite recipes with us that allows you to achieve the benefits from this natural essential oil!

Marisa- 

Peppermint oil comprises vitamins A (great for a healthy scalp) and C, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals including potassium, manganese, iron, magnesium, calcium, and copper.

There are numerous ways to use peppermint for health:

  1. Add a few drops to water to ease indigestion
  2. Diffuse it in the air or rub it on your chest for healthy respiratory function and clear breathing
  3. Rub it on your neck for neck tension or a small dab on your temples to help relieve pressure and boost energy
  4. Apply it topically or in your bath tub for muscle aches or discomfort
  5. Eat it! check out this recipe below…

Peppermint Brownies
3 cups Walnuts (unsoaked)
1 cup Dates (unsoaked, pitted)
½ cup Cocoa Powder
½ tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp. Water (for a moister brownie)
8-10 drops of Peppermint essential oil
pinch of Sea Salt

  1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and mix until dough like texture.
  2. Spread in a square pan.

Note: If you want a nut brownie, only make the mix with 1 cup of walnuts. Then take the 1/2 cup and chop in pieces and add it by hand to the blended mixture before you spread it out in the pan.

Thank you Marisa for this great recipe! For more information on Marisa and great recipes, visit her blog! Check out my store here, to purchase the peppermint oil for your treat.
