Publisher’s Note Hello from Tammy!

In Abbotsford we are a resounding community of support, belonging and prosperity. Let’s finish 2020 strong and resilient. Support local, shop local, look out for one another and be kind.

As we move into the last stretch of 2020, an incredibly challenging year, supporting local is more important now than ever. Our local charities can always use a helping hand or donation, and our local businesses are relying on us to SHOP LOCAL for the upcoming holiday season. When our community comes together to support one another, be it big or small, it is felt in the hearts, and on the tables, of all involved.

Stay Healthy & Beautiful This Season

8 STEPS TO PREVENT DRY WINTER SKIN IT’S COMMON FOR MOST PEOPLE TO HAVE DRY SKIN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PREVENT DRY, FLAKING, ITCHY AND/OR CRACKING SKIN? YES, YOU CAN! 1 COOL IT DOWN When the weather outside is frightful, it’s very tempting to take long hot showers or baths, because it feels good on your skin to soak in soothing water that makes us feel warm. However, exposing your body to hot water for too long can be extremely drying to the skin. Keeping your baths and showers short (no more than 15 minutes) and using warm water instead of hot water will ensure that your skin will retain its own moisture.

2 DELICATE ARE WE? The skin around your eyes as well as other areas of the face is thin and requires gentle cleansing and regular, quality moisturizing to keep skin soft and supple. Applying a good eye serum and facial cream often during the winter will keep dry skin (and wrinkles) at bay.

3 ITHCY, FLAKIE NO NO'S As for itchy and irritated skin, switching to a mild cleanser also can help reduce or eliminate the itchiness associated with very dry skin. After your bath or shower, be sure to gently pat your skin dry with a clean soft towel and apply an ointment, body oil or moisturizing body lotion immediately afterwards. Take special care not to rub your skin dry with a towel as this can irritate it and exacerbate itching and flakiness.

4 INGREDIENTS MATTER Always

check the ingredients in skin care products because deodorant soaps and cleansers, alcohol-based toners and

products that contain fragrances can irritate dry, sensitive skin. Make sure your products are from a manufacturer you trust.

5 CRACKING REPAIRS Most people tend to wash their hands more often in the winter time to get rid of potentially harmful germs and bacteria, covid has amplified this. Counter this by applying a moisturizing hand cream afterwards. If your hands are extremely dry and require more attention, dabbing thicker cream on them and covering that with gloves at bed time is a good way to repair dry, cracking skin overnight.

6 HUMIDITY ANYONE Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air in your home is another important step to preventing dry, itchy skin.

7 THE FABRIC OF OUR LIVES You also can wear soft fabrics that breathe, such as 100% cotton. If you wear wool or other rough fabrics, you should wear a soft fabric underneath.

8 HYDRATION Hydration is key! Nourishing your body with 8 to 10 glasses of water per day is a must to keep you healthy, vibrant, clear minded, and with clear and hydrated skin. Mineral water is one of the best sources to provide peak nourishment.

For more information on how you can have soft, supple skin during the winter and year-round, reserve a consultation with Tammy and let her help YOUR skin look and feel its very best! Call 604-259-2193 or email elegancemdskincare@gmail.com today!

Do you or someone you love suffer from headaches?

Tension-type headaches are one of the most common forms of headaches, yet they are not well understood. Most people describe having a band of pressure around their head that can last from 30 minutes to a week.

Tension headaches can be related to muscles tightening in the back of the neck, and improper alignment of the joints of the spine. Often, a headache is triggered by poor posture habits.

Q. What can I do to help decrease my headaches?

A.Dr. Marcy is happy to provide lifestyle tips for optimizing your care outside of your appointments. Try out these tips!

Exercise regularly to decrease the impact of stress on your health, and decrease your headaches.

Relax your muscles by applying heat to sore muscles in the shoulders. Massage, and a warm bath, will also relieve muscle tension.

Correct your posture to keep your muscles from tensing up, and reduce strain on your body. A jutting head, combined with slumped shoulders, can cause fatigue and tension in your neck and upper back.

Record when your headaches occur, and what you were doing before they started. Try to recognize the factors that cause, or aggravate, your headaches. Be sure to tell your chiropractor if you’ve noticed any changes in your usual headaches, such as: frequency, duration; intensity; or if your headaches begin to worry you.

Q. How Can Chiropractic Help?

A. Dr. Marcy can perform a chiropractic assessment to find out if you need help with the following: • Managing your headaches by identifying triggers • Increase range of motion of your neck and shoulders • Decrease muscle tension • Correct your posture

Book your assessment today!

Dr. Marcy has 20 years experience providing chiropractic care with a focus on family wellness. Her patients are all ages, and include women during pregnancy. She uses gentle, safe, and effective techniques that can be done by hand, or instrument.

Dr. Marcy is Webster Certified.

ZOOM MUSIC BINGO FUNDRAISERS with Cory Cassel Productions

Cory Cassel Productions is all about building community through events, and with the current restrictions for hosting live events, we have found ourselves searching for ways that we could continue to bring people together and support nonprofit organizations whose work is vital to our communities.

Music Bingo has been a crowd favourite in our local pubs for years and now we can enjoy playing online.

Zoom Music Bingo started in April after the pandemic shut down pubs and restaurants and people began looking for ways to have fun at home. I was having a lot of fun playing Zoom Music Bingo from our home in Japan, so I connected with Sean Constable, the owner of Music Bingo Worldwide, and asked if there might be an opportunity to host fundraisers on Zoom for nonprofits. Our first 2 events in support of the Mission Firefighters’ Charitable Society were successful and we raised $2800 to support their work in our community. We have also hosted Zoom Music Bingo Fundraisers for Fraser Valley Youth Society, Sasquatch Lions Club and St. Joseph's Food Bank, with thousands of dollars raised to support the work of those organizations.

Zoom Music Bingo is a fantastic opportunity to raise money, have fun and stay safe in the comfort of our homes while connecting with others. If you think a Zoom Music Bingo Fundraiser might be an opportunity for your organization to raise money, or if you are a business owner looking for a great way to promote your business online, please contact me at cory@musicbingo.com or at Cory Cassel Productions on Facebook. I will be happy to give you information about how our events work and the support we offer to ensure your fundraiser is successful. You can also find out about other Music Bingo events online and also live in some of our favourite pubs at www.musicbingo.com.

Covid-19 hit Mission Firefighters’ Charitable Society hard. We were forced to cancel all our fundraising events. Cory suggested we try a Zoom Music Bingo fundraiser. Our first event was so well received we quickly planned a second and will be doing more.- Mike Todd, Mission Firefighters’ Charitable Society.
