Michelle Harris TV host of Alive and Well TV has tips on creating a spa day at home –how to create an oasis of relaxation and self-care in your own home.
1.Spray your favorite aromatherapy mist or use a diffuser in the room you want to relax in.
2.De-cluttering your space if needed for a more relaxing vibe.
3.Get your fluffiest towels and robe together and add in some relaxing music. This will give you that wonderful feeling of walking into a spa without leaving your home!
4.Michelle recommends a pineapple-lemon- Black Elderberry wellness shot! Pineapple juice is rich in digestive enzymes, lemon is wonderful at detoxification and Black Elderberry syrup is rich in immune supporting antioxidants (and it tastes great). It’s the perfect pick me up for an at home spa day.
Quick homebased treatments:
Home Facials:
Regular facials are one of the keys to good skin. First, gently clean and exfoliate skin.
Next, every facial needs a nice steam to clear pores. This can be as simple as putting your face over a container that has hot water steaming up.
After steaming, nothing feels better than a mask.
Use a favorite brand or make a simple homemade hydrating mask with aloe, avocado and olive oil.
Combine1 tsp fresh aloe, 1 tsp olive oil and ½ of a totally mashed avocado (it will stay on your face more easily). Apply and rinse after 10 minutes for glowing skin!
The final step in any facial is serums and moisturizer. Apply them and your skin will look like you just left the spa.
Happy Hands and Feet
One of Michelle’s her favorite things when getting a spa treatment is those great gloves and/or booties they use with a rich moisturizer to keep your hands and feet soft.
Wear them with a heavy-duty cream made for the body or hands and feet. Don’t forget the cuticles. Many creams made for the hands and feet will contain essential oils like peppermint. This adds to the therapeutic benefit and smells incredible.
Keep gloves or booties on for an hour while watching television, reading, or relaxing. For super soft hands and feet, wear gloves or booties to bed and wakeup with baby soft skin.
Relaxing bubbles
A tub full of bubbles is the perfect way to relax and feel calm. Research even shows that taking a bath on occasion helps to decrease stress, fatigue and muscle pain. Look for bubble baths with natural ingredients and essential oils. Ingredients like oatmeal and coconut are wonderful for soothing skin. Don’t forget to loofah and exfoliate skin while you soak. Add a cup of your favorite herbal tea for even more relaxation.
“We all need to relax and recharge for our health and wellbeing so take care of yourself!” declares Michelle Harris.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SUMMER “SUN SENSE”
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO SHARE SUN PROTECTION TIPS

Summer is finally here. From State Fairs to Labor Day, Americans are spending more time in the sun at cookouts and trips to the beach. Hours spent outside under the sun sounds great; but too much exposure to the sun can lead to painful sunburn and worst yet could lead to skin cancer.

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States and men are impacted the most. Basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, disproportionately affects men,[1] and this year an estimated 60,000 American men will be diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.[2] That said, men are still less likely than women to apply sunscreen regularly[3] and more than one-third of men are hesitant to share health concerns with their family.[4] As the days get warmer and families are spending more time outdoors during the summer, it’s important that conversations with men and their families include sharing “sun sense” about the dangers of the sun, healthy skin habits and tips for prevention to future generations.

On Friday, July 12, Dr. Jennifer Popovsky, a leading dermatologist at Dermatologic Surgery Center of Northeast Ohio, will be available to discuss the importance of sharing good “sun sense” and understanding treatment options for those who are living with skin cancer.

Potential Questions:

What are ways to stay protected from the sun, especially as we approach summer holidays?

What knowledge can people with skin cancer share with the next generation?

What are the different types of skin cancer?

What are potential treatment options for people with skin cancer?
