HOLIDAY PAMPERING

The holidays are approaching and we are all thinking about our wonderful employees and/or co-workers.

And around this time, we are now on a mission to scout for the very best presents that can help us express how much we value our team. One present that will never go out of style is the gift of pampering which is also known as the gift of "me" time. 

During this extremely busy season, it is the perfect time to show that hard-working employees that you truly are grateful and value their time by giving them the opportunity to unwind and relax with much comfort at work.

It may just be a simple treat but it will surely bring a bigger smile to your deserving team.

To learn more about our services or to inquire about customized gift packages, please send us an email at appt@primpinhome.com. We would love to make this a magical holiday for you and your company.

ORGANIC SKINCARE

Last week, I was sitting across from my 82-year-old mother and found myself staring at her face. Something was slightly different. Her skin looked firmer, healthier-glowing a bit. I had not seen her in a few weeks so the thought of a little plastic surgery did cross my mind. She joked for years about a little nip and tuck here and there but she would tell me right? So of course, I said something. I told her how great she looked (because she did) so she had the opportunity to spill the beans. She said, “it is the cream you told me about.” I could not believe my ears that I was getting all the credit for introducing her to this wonderful organic skincare line I discovered about 10 years ago called Savor Beauty. I was excited to think that my skin may look like hers when I am her age since I use the line religiously twice a day. It truly is an amazing line and I think it works!

SELF CARE

Fifteen years ago, a fitness instructor changed my skin.

During his class, he announced to the group "what you put in your body is just as important as what you put on your body." This resonated since I spent a good part of my life eating processed food and using makeup, skincare and detergents loaded with ingredients I could not even pronounce. Since that day, I try my best to use all natural organic products on my face, body, underarms, and yes - tampons, too. At the end of the day, I believe the teacher was onto something when he said take care of your whole body!

WINTER HAIR CARE

The winter months make the days much colder, putting your luscious locks in more vulnerable situations.  Here are some Primp Tips that you can use to protect your hair from cold weather damage.

• One word: static.  Always condition your hair with a deep conditioner every time you shampoo. 

• Always bring a hat to cover your hair from wind, rain, and snow.  No one wants the“dreaded hat hair,” so we recommend wrapping your hair in a silk scarf before putting that cozy beanie on.  

• If you can, skip a day of shampooing (even two). Your hair is less prone to drying out of you shampoo 3 or 4 times a week than if you do it daily.

• Make sure your hair is dry before you step outside.  Moisture in your hair combined with the cold air will add further damage to your hair by freezing it and causing breakage.

• Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks to reduce the chance of dry, split ends. 

• Use natural bristles.  Brushes with natural bristles help redistribute oils from the scalp to the rest of the hair and also conduct less static than plastic brushes and combs. 

• It may be tempting when it is cold, but soaking in hot water does damage to your hair.  Hot water dries out the hair so we suggest cool or warm water when bathing.

• Limit the use of blow dryers and curling irons. If you must use them, try using a leave-in conditioner first. Diffuse it on low heat, concentrating on the roots. The less you deal with styling tools, the better off you will be.

• Avoid spraying perfume in hair and pay attention to the alcohol content in hair products, such as hairspray.  These chemicals tend to dry hair out and leave strands brittle.

• Hydration Your hair needs it too/  Using a humidifier adds moisture to the to the air—air that is typically dry due to indoor heaters.

BLOG MEETS BRAND EVENT BY INSTYLE MAGAZINE

InStyle Magazine knows how to throw a great event!  At a recent blogger event in New York City, the magazine rolled out the red carpet for attendees with services that included chair massage by PrimpEvents. 

At this stylish event, bloggers were able to rub elbows with top brands like Jergens, Sears,, Bulova, and more. For our part, we were there along side Jergens to discuss a new hand cream and the benefits of the cream while treating the bloggers to hand and neck massages.

The elegant affair was a great event for the bloggers to experience new products and include them in their upcoming posts.  And they had a lot to write about.  From fashion to beauty, the brands had a lot to share.
