Tips Tuesday – World Water Day

water-infographic-1

Many people who are aware of HHDS being the first Eco Friendly salon, spa and energy space.  Whenever we offer a tour to our new clients we explain the following:

 

Welcome to HHDS! Kitchener Waterloo’s First Eco Friendly Salon Spa and Energy space

We offer full hair , skin and energy services in a safer atmosphere for you, our staff and the planet.  The following products and services will explain how.

We use Eufora hair care products which uses 70-80% certified organic Aloe gel, instead of water, as their product base. So, this really allows the products to heal and renew the cells on your scalp and hair.  Aloe also is a natural preserving agent. The products are also infused with botanical ingredients and pure essential oils, and contain no harmful chemicals.  The company who manufacturers it boasts a zero foot print impact on the planet!

HHDS is our own label for shampoos and conditioners. We’re proud to say it is Canadian made and uses certified organic and fairtrade ingredients, and being that they are in glass jars, infinitely refillable for only $18.  We offer an unscented shampoo and conditioner in this line.  Not only are our products organically derived but they boast no parabens, sulfates, artificial colours or dyes.

We are excited to launch Worlsd Hair Care line which contain natural organic ingredients, are left as unaltered as possible, virtually no scent AND it’s Canadian!

Our polish line, Zoya, is the longest wearing natural polish there is. It’s a 4-free , toluene, formaldehyde, DBP and Camphor free vegan formula and does not contain the harsh chemicals typically found in nail polishes.  Stainless Steel Bowls with no jets in the pedi area provide Bacteria free worry free indulgence.

Most recently added is Holistic Energy healing services and certification programs, like Crystal Grid Therapy, Reiki and Shambala,  Reflexology, Electromagnetic Therapy, Body Talk, Holistic Life Caching and Energy Psychology.

Our Mineral Make Up line is proudly Canadian!. We love FitGlow because it’s a mineral make-up, so there are no biological ingredients in the formula, which means there’s also no need for preservatives. It’s also a natural UV protector due to the content of Zinc.

We use the RVB Holistic products on the face and body. Similar to our other product lines, RVB does not contain harmful chemicals-they have found a way to bind the water molecules to the other ingredients- because the free water molecule in a product are what causes bacteria. So by doing this they are able to use less preservatives, and the ones they do use are fruit & vegetable derived. And their ingredients are Fair Trade certified organic.

Here, you can see our colour line, by Anew. Anew is great because you can colour your hair without being afraid of damaging it. It uses natural pigments and antioxidants to prevent damage, it’s ammonia free, and it contains Quartz powder, which actually encourages a really healthy shine.  All of this means healthier safer hair services with no fumes and sensitivity on the scalp!

We like being able to multi-use our zones, to reduce our footprint as much as possible.  We are truly Loyal to our environment and our guests not a brand so if we find something safer to use in our space we switch out after we test it for effectiveness.  We use our refillable glass jars in the back as well have re purposed furniture and items from the REstore to reduce our footprint too!  notice our compost and burlap bag hair receptacles there- Because we’re a part of the ‘Green Circle Salons’- instead of dumping our waste in the garbage, they pick up our leftover foils and hair clippings, and deliver them to manufacturers of eye glass frames, furniture, light fixtures and ceiling fans. We run on Bullfrog energy as well, which is all wind and solar derived energy.  We also use Norwex and Enjyo cleaning products in our space.

We really like to support the community- so every year we choose a school to donate a tree to. Every April during Earth week we participate in a Community garbage clean-up.  So we hope you’re just as excited as we are about supporting the community and the environment and using the best natural products out there!

We make this general knowledge not just to prove our commitment but to encourage others to do everything they can to become more mindful of their impact on the environment too.

The following tips were taken from the Nature Conservatory site, Check it out here and learn  how you can support them and ensure safer water for all! http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/habitats/riverslakes/help/

  1. Run washing machines & dishwashers only when they’re full. Large loads = less water used. And save energy by turning off the auto-dry setting and letting your dishes dry naturally.
  2. Keeping a timer in your bathroom will help you take a shorter shower. And please turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth. All that perfectly clean tap water is just going down the drain.
  3. Turn off lights and unplug chargers. Water is used in all forms of energy generation. It can take over 4 gallons of water to keep a 60-watt light bulb lit for 12 hours.
  4. Use biodegradable cleaning products. The water that goes down your drains will eventually flow into streams and bays.
  5. Skip meat for one meal a week. It can take about 600 gallons of water to produce a hamburger. (Think of all the grain that’s grown to feed the cattle.)

5 Simple Things You Can Do Online

  1. Use social media to spread the word about the need to save water and save our water sources. Challenge your friends to match the actions you take.
  2. Find out where your water comes from and urge others to do the same. Knowledge is power.
  3. Use social media to ask your favorite brands what they’re doing to reduce their water use and their impacts on water sources.
  4. Donate to support a community project that helps protect water for people and nature.
  5. Take our water pop quiz! Don’t worry; it’s more fun than the SATs. Knowing more about your water source and consumption habits will make you a stronger steward for water conservation.

5 Simple Things You Can Do Outside

  1. Plant a tree in your yard or a friend’s yard. Trees help keep soil in place – rather than flowing into our streams and lakes – and help slow water down, reducing flooding and enabling more rainwater to trickle down into groundwater supplies.
  2. Take these steps to reduce your impact when it comes to your own yard and lawn:
    • Water your lawn or garden in the morning or the evening when the water will evaporate less rapidly. Adjust sprinklers to avoid the pointless watering of sidewalks or paved areas.
    • Sweep patios and sidewalks rather than hosing them, which wastes water and carries contaminants into freshwater systems.
    • Limit pesticide use. Pesticides are the only substances we intentionally introduce into our environment to kill living things, and besides being potentially dangerous to people, pets and wildlife, they’ll eventually be carried into our freshwater supply by runoff.
  3. Make sure your hiking gear is free of plant matter when you head out into nature. Seeds of invasive plant species can hitch a ride on boots. Invasive species can cause many water problems, including absorbing more water than native species and sending erosion and bacteria into rivers and lakes.
  4. Volunteer for a stream-clean up or wetland restoration event.
  5. Take someone on a hike near a river or lake – or better yet, get in or on the water – swimming, kayaking, canoeing, etc. People protect things they care about.

Who better the David Suzuki to explain how we must not take for granted access to clean water:

Enjoy World Water Day and make it a daily refrence for you and your family!

Tips Tuesday – Back To School Hair and Make Up

DSC_1580

 

This time of year is crzy!  Getting ready for school, getting reorganized!  Here are som simple ways to prep for the first day!

Make Lunch the night before!

Long Hair?  Put it in loose braids the night before when just barely damp let dry over night and run fingers through it in the morning , touch up with an iron if need be in the a.m

Short hair?  Curls are big and sleek and shiny is always in.  For curls, wrap hair around your finger when slightly damp with some product in it and pin to the head with bobby pins, use one to two inch sections the bigger the section the bigger the curls.  Next morning separate each curl in three and go!  For sleek hair wash and blow dry the night before in the a.m use a straight iron to smooth and sleek fly aways, make sure you use Thermal Protector like our Onesta Thermal Spray.

Make up generally becomes the subject around grade 7 or 8 or age 13.  Most young girls don’t need foundation or blush.  If the complexion isn’t clear, don’t cove up and clog with foundation, check out our RVB Holistic Skin care options to clear the skin before applying make up, as it can make matters worst if not removed properly.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT ALL MAKE UP IS REMOVED AT THE END OF THE DAY.  Light glosses and natural shadows are key for younger ages.  We offer Make up consultations where the application is explained, the appropriate colours are suggested and tools recommended.  This is a great way for your daughter to learn the appropriate way to wear make up.  Heavier liners are more popular these days.  For a more natural look use shadows to line the eyes and finish with a quick brush of Mirabella Mascara.  If they insist on a stronger line, The Eye liner Marker from Mirabella ROCKS!  It is soo easy to apply and having a quick lesson on how to do it is a great idea so as not to OVER do.

When everyone is back in class , may I recommend a MENTAL HEALTH DAY FOR YOU??  Reflexology with a pedi?  Aroma Touch Massage which is at a discount this sept for only $60 Reg $75, or enjoy a crystal Grid Lay Out and Hair cut!  You name it we have the treatments and services so ease your frazzled back to school nerves!

 

XO to you and yours this back to school season!

Tips Tuesday – Product Use

HHDS - PHOTO SHOOT 2012 042

Many people over use, or under nourish with the products they are using. Here are some tips to stretch your product and make sure you are using the right products. Keep in mind Salon Products like our HHDS Organics line in glass Mason Jars , Onesta, or Eufora are all organically derived, void of parabens, sulfates, artificial colours and scents and contain several other high quality ingredients too many to mention here. Many times they are more expensive due to the Fair Trade, organic or pure integrity of each ingredient in each product. Compare the seaweed scraped off the beech compared to seaweed found in the purest deepest areas harvested for higher quality products, this is the difference, less fillers, and detergent surfactants. Basically you get what you pay for, so word for the wise, if you love your hair, prove it! If you colour your hair, protect your investment!

If your hair is:

Brittle, Stiff or Naturally Curly Hair- You need tons of moisture! Even Deep conditioning treatments will help. Try HHDS Organics Lavender Love Shampoo and Conditioner or Onesta Hydrate shampoo and conditioner and for needier hair that is breaking or under a lot of stress use Super Conditioner in place of the conditioner and once in better shape, as a deep conditioner.

Fine Limp Hair – Don’t skimp on condition! Many of you don’t use conditioner, but wonder why it’s so fly away, there are conditioners available to you that will give your hair shine, manageability and won’t weigh it done like our HHDS Unscented Shampoo and Conditioner for Fine hair, or Onesta Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner. Still nervous? Try the Quench Leave in spray from Onesta for light condition that is weightless and moisturizing.

Normal Hair – Not to be forgotten the normal hair crowd, we offer HHDS Peaceful Citrus Shampoo and Conditioner for a beautiful shine and appropriate amount of luscious moisture to maintain your perfect balance of health and most importantly comes without the waxes and silicones to give your hair and artificial coated feeling that many others give. Let your hair feel like hair because it’s in great shape and doesn’t need to be coated!

Thinning Hair – WOW! An awesome new option for Thinning Hair for just over $20 a bottle! a full treatment kit from Eufora is now available for you to help prevent more thinning and in some cases has proven to bring back lost hair follicles to their original healthy state! The kit is only $84.52

Lastly the most important thing to remember is the amount of product you need to use, less hair, less product, start with less add more as needed. Most shampoos and conditioners we use here at HHDS due to natural surfactants like coconut oils don’t have big bubbles like a lot of other detergent surfactants found in other products. Start with a nickel size of shampoo rub it in our hands, if you need more or less next time go ahead and adjust. Conditioners should be just a bit more then the shampoo and applied to ends first as the ends need it more and this avoids limp flat roots. Comb through your conditioner in the shower with a wide tooth comb, this prolongs your product. Stylers should be combed through to avoiding over use. Always rub shampoos, conditioners and stylers in your hands, then evenly distribute through your hair.

Enjoy an informative consult with your service provider for the products that would best meet your needs. Happy Hair, Happy You!

Tips Tuesday-Earth Week #2, The Three ‘R’s and a ‘U’

Earth 2

Tips Tuesday-Earth Week #2, The Three ‘R’s and a ‘U’

How have you celebrated our first Earth week? Any pictures to share, stories to tell? Well I’m excited to share that Cindy Pearce from Crystal Rainbows has collected 6 bags already with her family over the Easter Holiday! We are so looking forward to having her join our Green Family this May and sharing her many Holistic Healing skills with our guests.

Last week we discussed efforts to prevent inadvertent littering on garbage day, this week I wanted to share how we have managed to divert tons of garbage and recyclables from the local landfills and hopefully inspire you to look around your home to see what things you could Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or Upcycle! Yes we observe the 3 R’s …and a ‘U’.

Reduce

– We use both sides of printed paper for note taking at our front desk

– We have reduced and or eliminated all toxins from our skin and haircare lines

– We have shrunk our carbon foot print by partnering with Green Circle Salons

– We have our salon more efficient per square foot,

– We use Clean energy from BullFrog energy

Reuse

– WE have a refill program for all of our shampoos and conditioners refilling the plastic containers twice and our glass infinitely while offering our guests a discount as an incentive to participate in the program above and beyond the obvious benefits to all for doing so.

– In each Renovation we have reused all of our chattel preventing filling landfilss with perfectly good usable items and not having to purchase brand new to replace them

– We furnish the Salon and Spa with many items from the Re-Store and antique furniture stores.

– The products taken from the Salon from green Circle is reused to make furniture , eye glass frames, light fixtures and ceiling fans

– We use hand towels in the washrooms, washed with Eco Friendly, Biodegradable laundry detergent

Recycle

– The producst taken from the Salon from green Circle is reused to make furniture , eye glass frames, light fixtures and ceiling fans

– We petitioned for recycling bins when we opened Hybrid at a previous location 5 years ago and did the same three years ago at our current location at which time no recycling containers were present at this building. All recyclable items of no further use to us are separated and placed in our recycling bins

– We have foiling mesh which we use for hilighting that can be reused

Upcycling

– We have taken furniture that no longer serves its purpose in it’s origin form and created new more suitably useable items out of the original. Like our candle fire place which in its original forma was an 8’x 4’ colour table and created a colour ‘Bar area and candle fireplace at our original location and since moved the candle fire place to the current location.

I have listed a few of our efforts in each area of awareness of the three ‘R’s and ‘U’, in order to inspire and motivate you to be creative in your upcycling options in your home, would a TV stand make a great desk? An old door a head board, an old desk an island in your kitchen? Can you do more to recycle or composting by putting individual receptacles in each room and labeling them for your family? Can you write to manufacturers’ to ask them to minimize their packaging so you won’t have as much to recycle? Could you not only vote or persuade with your purchasing dollars by buying items from conscientious manufacturers? Could you do more to support Green or Organic Business? Can you use pickle, jam and spaghetti jars for lunch containers instead of buying plastic containers, and bags? Could you sign up for BullFrog energy for your home?

None of this is necessarily ‘Easy’ some of it may be time consuming, a couple things more expensive, but most you will find is fun, money saving and fun in a creative and inspired way. Besides, can we afford not to?

“Ecology and Economy have the same root word, ‘eco’ which means ‘home’. But what we have done is elevate the economy above ecology” – David Suzuki

“The chameleon changes colour to match the Earth, the Earth doesn’t change colour to match the chameleon”

– Senegalese Proverb

“When the last tree has been cut down, the last river has been polluted, and the last fish has been caught, only then do you realize that money can’t buy everything.” – Amer.Indian

“Someone sits in the shade because someone planted a tree a long time ago” – Warren Buffett

Tips Tuesday-Earth Week

Tips Tuesday! You can’t and shouldn’t miss these of all Tuesdays Tips!

We are stronger together, let’s make our voices heard!

For the next two weeks our HHDS Green Family will be collecting garbage in our community and we ask for you to help us! We are keeping a running tally through out the Clean up so message us on Facebook and to hybridhairanddetoxspa@rogers.com with your tally to add to ours!

‘As Within So Without’ ~Hermes Trismegistus~

Much of the garbage flying around and ending their travel in our waters is from garbage day and recycling bins and garbage bins tipping over in the wind on garbage day!

Help out your Waste Engineers out to make their job easier, get more recycling bins if you have to and separate your paper, plastic and metals, by doing so you make their sorting easier faster and idling trucks minimize toxin expulsion. Also overflowing bins are targets for flying debris! On windy days or any day, cover each recycling bin with a piece of cardboard cut to fit the top of your bin (Cereal boxes broken down works well) and place a reasonably sized weight\rock on top. I have been known to place my garbage bags on top of the bins too to prevent garbage escape!

Please feel free to share with us unique ways you have come up with to prevent litter or any other form of Environmental thinking with us so we can share with our friends!! In closing please enjoy these thought felt comments from many wise Eco Leaders

“There is a way that nature speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story” -Linda Hogan, author

“I’ve got to do everything I can to make sure that my grandchildren don’t say to me,’Grandpa, you could have doen more.’” – David Suzuki

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.” –Chinese Proverb

“There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build an yet leave a landscape as it was before” – Robert Lynd

“One should leave their hosts home in the condition or better then when they arrived.” –My Parents
How are we fairing this task for the Earth? This last quote embodies this effort we must all consider…

“Like the trees, we are visitors, guests of the Earth.” – Kim Stafford

Tips Tuesday

#nails #skin care #Eco Friendly

 

Looking for healthier skin for the coming sun exposed months?

Proper cleansing and moisturizing of the skin is essential for glowing skin!  Healthy skin glows from the inside out without the need for concealers and foundations to over flaws.  Start with a gentle cleanser, RVB Holistics is a beautiful Organically derived skin care line with a cream cleanser for all skin types, it also doubles as a make up remover!  ALWAYS REMOVE your make up before bed.  Left over make up ages your skin and seeps deeper into your skin with little to no health benefits!  Besides who wants to wake up next to a racoon anyway!  After cleansing, a gentle toner for normal and oily skin, contrary to belief toners are not always recommended for all skin types year round!  Ask Elena what regimen works best for you.  Just before bed a beautiful RVB Serum can be smoothed over the skin, gracing your skin with much needed moisture, nutrients and a scent that leaves you floating on a cloud.  DONT FORGET THE DECOLLAGE!  Many women forget this delicate skin on the neck and chest!  Don’t find yourself years later with a flawless face and saggy neck and wrinkled chest, nourish it too! (**Hint always use an upward motion while cleansing and moisturizing)

In the morning don’t over cleanse, water and a wash cloth are enough to remove any light debris from the night before (and minimize over using your product), unlike bed time where you must remove the days dirt grime and make up!  Make sure you tone (if required) and always moisturize with either an day time spf 10 or a 24 hour moisturizer and then if you decide you need it, apply your make up.  We recommend Mirabella Mineral Makeup for added nutrients for your skin and natural zinc sun protection.

Put your best face forward this spring with RVB Holistics , Mirabella Mineral Make up and don’t forget 20% off Facial Fridays!

Tips Tuesday – Thank You!

Tips Tuesday – Thank You!

Well I feel the need to thank you all for your support and perseverance through a tough weather week and still assisting us with removing over 60 bags from our community streets, parks and walking trails!

I am SSSOOOOO proud of our Green Family for participating in our annual Community Clean Up!

-JENNA AND HER CREW!!

Jenna Garbage 1— ELENA AND HER CREW!

Elena Garbage 1

Elena Garbage 2

I had noticed the weather had caused some interruption in our efforts to do our part, but luckily by the end of the week Mother Nature cooperated and gave us the opportunity to get out and make a difference!  We had lot’s of family friends and local schools help out too so way to go!!

This coming weekend is the annual community clean up for Clair Hills!  We are looking forward to helping out again!

Not only does it feel good to see a clean walking trail or park for everyone to enjoy but it feels good to be outside in the fresh air after a long winter!  And sharing this experience with our kids is invaluable!  It is up to us to instill in them the values and responsibility to our planet and each other.

I sat tonight talking to some family about local efforts to manage our garbage and recycling.  A main theme seemed evident.  Too many people are not doing enough, too many companies are not holding themselves accountable, and too many advertise being Green or Conscientious and it is simply ‘GreenWashing’.  What is Green Washing?  Finding a garbage and recycling receptacle requiring separation of refuse then looking in and seeing it all going into one garbage bag. Putting recyclables into blue bins and finding out it was redirected into landfills.  Having our refuse shipped elsewhere to become someone else’s problem.  What is the answer?  Well here are a few and I hope you will share some of yours!

Reuse as many packaging items as you can, boxes, bags, bottles, jam and pickle jars make great Tupperware!

Fix things instead of being so quick to replace them especially household appliances that are lrge and take up valuable landfill space

Purchase less things that you think will make you happier, things wont make you happy

Purchase items with less packaging

Make sure you  utilize all of the options at your disposal such as green bins and properly sorted blue bins

Cover your blue bins to insure your recycling doesn’t blow around

If you see someone ‘GreenWashing” call them on it.  They think no one notices

I would love to share some our great ‘green’ Ideas!  Please feel free to share on our facebook page!

Just  friendly reminder!  Kerstin is bringing in a knowledgeable representative for Electromagnetic Mats to Authentika studio on Marsland Drive this Wednesday evening!  Amazing opportunity to get more info and learn more about this incredible healing treatment option both at HHDS and in your very own home find out how!  FDA approved to increase bone density!  Call to book a seat 519-886-8624

Hey You! Yes You! Com’ere!

So Earlier this week I wrote  a letter to Mother Earth, well now it’s your turn!

Dear Human Race:

This Week HHDS participated in a community clean up.  How many bags of garbage have you collected?  Do you join your community on another date?  If so when?  and Thank You.  If not the rest is for you.

Why not?  What’s your excuse?  Tired?  Busy?  Dead?   HHHMMMM  That last one could pose a problem but the rest of you I call Bull$#!*.  Listen I get it, I have anywhere between 1-5 kids on any given day (Husband counts as one teehee) One Dog One Cat and a business, So I hear ya about being busy, BUT, Think about this for a minute.

This is an example I give my kids when they are negotiating whether or not to do their chores:

Imagine if Mother Earth Said,” Yeah you know what, I know you need water but I have a real important email to answer and I just don’t have the time…”

OR

“Geez you’re hungry, well cant you make your own snack, I’m not going to be able to do that right now I’m busy spinning so….O you can’t make your own food, AHHH, well sucks to be you!!!”

Which brings me to another point!  Ever hear the expression don’t $#!* where you eat?  Um HELLO!  We dump all this ‘Crap” into our water, pollute our ground and are scientifically exploiting our ability to grow food.  So if YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT WHAT DOES THA MAKE US??  HHMMMM

Ok Ok, A little tough love here I know, and this usually isn’t my style but COME ON PEOPLE!  There is no excuse good enough to not get off your @$$ and get out in nature and show Mother Earth you deserve your ALLOWANCE!

On that I leave you with this lovely link to some positive Eco News which our 5:00 news never reports, I hope this inspires you to know we ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!  Listen We spent one hour the other day picking up garbage and got 8 BAGS!  so even one hour makes a difference!  You can do it!  Grab your kids, you boyfriend, your dog, your self and get out there and be Mother Natures Hero!  RAH RAH GO YOU!!

Tips Tuesday – Garbage Collection Begins! Rain, Snow, Sleet or Shine or all of the above!

Tips Tuesday – Garbage Collection Begins!  Rain, Snow, Sleet or Shine or all of the above!

Well My Girls and I headed out for our annual Garbage Collection for HHDS!

Poor Morgan had been picking up Garbage all day but I was thrilled to have her come out again with Olivia and I!

Earth Week Collection 1

This Picture was taken at the end of only one green space trail near our house!  THREE BAGS FULL!!

After what seemed like a long haul, only 1 hour later we had collected 8 bags!

Earth Week collection 2

Trudging up from a pond near our home, we had only one bag left to fill.

We had taken recycling bags and garbage bags, but most of what we picked up was recyclable.  The most we picked up was plastic water bottles.  With all the lovely glass options, let’s all try to completely stop using these bottles ok?  We were sad to find pockets of solo cups clearly left behind after fun gatherings, not so fun for us to pick up however.

I decided to write a quick apology note to Mother Earth, it goes as follows:

Dear Mother Earth

I am so very sorry that we have the nerve to create ‘things’ that cause you and your habitat illness and disease.  I apologize for the scarring we cause you in damaging your surface with digging for oil, carving out for mining and cutting down your trees.  I am so remorseful that we are poisoning your crystal blues lakes and steams.

I am embarrassed by our behaviour.  I hope you will forgive us.  I hope you will guide us to do what is right before it’s too late.

I vow right now to you that I will continue to do what I can to honour you and the gifts you so readily offer us.

I will write to you again, hopefully in a more joyous manner.

Again, Truly, Deeply, Sorry

Regretfully

Erin L Kiers

Tips Tuesday – Guest Blogger Sherri Dmyterko

What’s in your emotional backpack? Just as we take care of our bodies by eating right and using products free of harmful chemicals, it’s equally important to consider how our thoughts affect our overall well-being.

I’m proud to be a part of the Hybrid Hair and Detox Spa team, where I work with clients to balance the energies of the body. In my energy healing sessions, I help a client to let go of emotional baggage that is weighing them down. Often people comment how they will feel lighter and happier after a session. I see toxic emotions as blackness in the body, and my healing techniques allow you to effortlessly unwind from anger, sadness, fear and stress.

What can YOU do right now to start your own emotional detox? The easiest thing is to get outside and go for a walk in nature, and leave the electronics at home. Rather than jamming in those earbuds, take the time to stroll down one of our many amazing trails and listen to the songbirds, the breeze blowing through the branches, and the soothing sounds of water bubbling in the creeks and rivers.

Take a few minutes and find a rock or a bench to sit down on and simply breathe in that fresh Spring air. Ask the Universe to take away your stress and lighten your load.

Emotional health and physical health go hand in hand.
