My husband, Chuck, had some minor surgery in August that required a long and extremely painful recovery. Before that, our horse, Jet, injured his leg somehow and has been limping and unable to exercise for a month. And, Lilly, our Labrador Retriever, whom many of you may have met sitting outside the front door of our spa, had her front paw stepped on by my horse and had 27 stitches. She's been wearing a little rubber boot to protect her foot for over a month. Then, I somehow injured my neck and have had to turn my entire body to look left or right.

I'm absolutely thrilled to say that we're all on the mend and feeling just about 100%. (Thank you, TallGrass massage team, for my much recovered neck!) But, it was another reminder to all of us to be grateful for our health. A little rain on a party, a fender bender, an argument with a loved one, and even the awful dip in the economy can be dealt with as long as we aren't sick or hurting!

I'm hoping that you and your family are taking good care of yourselves and getting ready to enjoy a fantastic fall!

Aveda's Green Science product line is now complete with the addition of the new Green Science Perfecting Cleanser and Green Science Replenishing Toner. To give you the most benefit from Green Science products, we created starter kits (cleanser, toner, exfoliant and face creme) and we priced them at 15% savings. "They're selling like hot cakes!" says Spa Director Susie Siebert. "Everyone just loves the anti-aging effects."

Perfecting Cleanser is a creamy solution that gently cleanses and removes makeup. It lifts away surface dirt and oil while preparing the skin to receive the maximum benefits of a Green Science regimen.

Replenishing Toner is a silky liquid that works on fine lines and wrinkles by refining pores and gently exfoliating with naturally derived salicylic acid and glucosamine.

The new Perfecting Cleanser and Replenishing Toner join the Green Science product line which includes lifting serum, firming face creme, firming eye creme and line minimizer. They are all available in our retail department.
