LETTER FROM GINA We have missed you so much in our lives over the past three months! Through the years we have celebrated holidays and birthdays, we have honored success, and we have shared comfort and compassion during tragedy and loss. This accumulation of experiences has built a precious relationship between each of us at The Body Serene Day Spa & Salon and we look forward to reconnecting and continuing these relationships that we hold dear.

We have been working extremely hard to improve upon our already stringent safety measures and protocols to enable everyone’s safe return. Moreover, as a licensed salon & spa with a fully trained and licensed staff, we follow and meet & exceed all industry standards as defined by the state of Pennsylvania & the CDC. It is important to note, as licensed professionals, we are specifically trained in sanitation, infectious and contagious disease and disinfection practices and we utilize this education daily to provide a clean and sanitary work space. Proper sanitation is vital to not only our industry, but also for the safety of our staff and our valued guests.

Please support us as we open our small businesses in the local communities that we have been a part of for so many years. Our businesses have been honored to serve our communities not only with our services but also as supporters of local fundraisers, charities, sports teams, first responders, medical staff and veterans. We are incredibly grateful for your support.

I want to personally thank the guests I spoke to each week while I was at the spa & salon; you gave me the strength to keep fighting and keep moving forward, it was an emotional roller coaster!

CBD IS HERE TO STAY! As a spa & salon professional it’s my job to be in the know when it comes to industry trends, and even though I’ve written the word “CBD” more times this year than I can count, the craze for CBD seems to be here to stay. We made CBD treatments part of our day to day life for hair, relaxation, pain management, sleep and so much more. If you have not dipped your toe in the craze you don’t know what you’re missing.

SKIN: BRAZILIAN BIKINI WAX Are you thinking about baring it all and going with a Brazilian bikini wax ? It’s a popular waxing style for the bikini line. It will leave you completely hairless (even on your bum), though it often leaves a “landing strip” of hair in front. Brazilian waxes do come with pain, though many women say it’s worth it and that it gets better with each session. If you’re a waxing newbie, it’s typically advised to begin with a basic bikini wax because they tend to be less painful and allow you to dip your toe in the water, so to speak. But if you’re ready to jump all in and go with a Brazilian. $70

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to get one without the guilt. Take this Chocolate Avocado Pudding from celebrity chef and nutritionist Serena Poon’s.

Dark chocolate, honey and cinnamon will surely satisfy your sweet tooth, and avocado is filled with potassium, fiber and healthy fatty acids to keep you on track. I usually recommend a simple, unsweetened piece of dark chocolate with at least 72 percent cacao and only a few clean ingredients. And if chocolate isn’t your thing, she suggests swapping in grapes or other frozen fruit to add some sweetness. Whatever you choose, this fast five-minute recipe holds the best of both worlds.

Chocolate Avocado Pudding Yields 2-4 servings

• 4 medium ripe avocados • 1/4 cup coconut milk (or preferred nut milk) • 4 tbsp. dark cocoa powder or organic cacao powder • 3 tbsp. manuka honey • 2 oz. melted dark chocolate (ideally vegan) • 2 tsp. vanilla extract • 1/4 tsp. ground Ceylon cinnamon • 1 ⁄ 8 tsp. Himalayan pink salt • T oppings (optional): whipped coconut cream, vegan chocolate sprinkles, cocoa nibs Remove avocado pits and skin, and blend remains in a food processor until creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients and puree, scraping down the sides when needed. Add seasoning or sweeteners to taste, and blend for two more minutes until completely smooth.

Serve with desired toppings.
