Check out Toccare!!

http://www.facebook.com/Toccare.Charlotte

I have to let y'all know about a new spa that has opened up at The Villa on Providence. Caci Thompson is the owner, and Caci has been keeping my brows in line for 6+ years. She's been at Carmen!Carmen!, Jeffre Scott, and now she's opened her own place called Toccare ("to touch" in Italian). She provides a full array of aesthetic services, and there is also a massage therapist on staff to provide that stress relief and relaxation you've been looking for. I went in last week, and the space is AMAZING!! Serene, beautiful and relaxing. Book your appointment today!!

Valentine's and a "sweet" offer for "moms-to-be"...

Happy Valentine's Week. I've spent the day working on Valentines for my kids' preschool classmates. Why, oh why did I think a Pinterest inspired valentine was the way to go?? Next year, it's back to the boxed cards or the Valentine ring pops that only require you to write a name. I am so not crafty, and need to remember that in the future!!!

www.vitalyogacenter.com

Listen up, Moms-to-Be...Vital Yoga Center is offering two six week prenatal yoga series, and the first one begins this Sunday, February 17th. Check out the image/link above to sign up or get more information.

Have a great week!!
