Use the Color Wheel when Choosing Your Eye Color

Everyone needs a little makeup tip from time to time...

When choosing an eye shadow that will make your eyes stand out think of the color wheel! Choose a shadow in a color opposite of your eye color to make them pop!

 

Avocados for Dry Skin

For dry skin, incorporate more avocados into your diet. They're rich in monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, both of which promote healthy skin. 

Try them on salads and sandwiches, and even in smoothies!

Find Clarity with Eucalyptus Oil

A strong, fresh, herbal top note—with cool, menthol undertones—derived from partially dried eucalyptus leaves.

Did you know that Eucalyptus Oil is good for oily, blemished, or acne-prone skin and can be used as a natural Bug Repellent? Great to keep around for all of your outdoor activities this summer!

Benefits of Vitamin E Oil for Skin

Vitamin E Oil can do wonders for your skin!

Through its antioxidant properties, Vitamin E can help fight the signs of aging, protect from sun damage, and even potentially lower skin cancer risks.

Vitamin E also prevents water loss from the skin and helps it to retain its natural moisture, prevents and eliminates scars and stretch marks, and relieves itchiness and irritation.  

 

Get the benefits of the oil by adding a bit to your body lotion!

Aaaahhh-romatherapy

Have you ever smelled an aroma that took you way back to your childhood?  Maybe it was the lilac bush that towered over your head in your grandmother’s back yard, or the smell of the freshly cut grass that your father just cut on a hot summer day, or even the smell the perfume you wore to your first high school dance… The list goes on and on.

Aromas are inhaled and carried to the limbic system, which controls moods, emotions, and memory.  When our brains react positively to an aroma, pleasant memories emerge thus providing a sense of relaxation. (Aromatherapy - Types, Benefits, Safety, and Types of Oils)  The idea of aromatherapy is this: Choose an aroma that makes you feel good – calm, relaxed, centered, happy, healed…  

Did you know that each facial, massage, and body treatment here at Bella Capelli is customized with the aroma that meets your sensory needs?  We use a variety of essential oils and essential oil blends – Aveda Singular Notes, Chakra Balancing Body Mists, and Balancing Infusions to name a few – throughout each spa service.  To be sure the aroma is relaxing and enjoyable, it is chosen by you during a "Sensory Journey" at the beginning of your treatment! 

What is your favorite aroma?  How does it make you feel?  Does it remind you of something specific? Please share your thoughts below!
