Hollywood, California (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

“Philanthropy has always been my passion. I’ve given a great deal of my time and resources to an array of charitable organizations, especially those who attend to the needs of women and children who are victims of domestic abuse.” States Peter Lamas, “I am honored to support Bullets4Peace. Jewelery designer Rafi Anteby (Bullets4Peace) promotes peace by the symbolic gesture of taking instruments of destruction, and turning them into objects of art, beauty and serenity.”

From Amusement Park Spas to Snow Showers to Beauty Coaching: SpaFinder Forecasts Top 10 Global Spa Trends for 2012
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 06, 2011
From ?amusement park? spas to cold treatments like ?snow showers? to the arrival of beauty coaches, SpaFinder today released its annual Spa Trend Report? forecasting the global trends and ideas that will reshape spa and wellness in 2012.
Now in its ninth year, the influential annual report is based on analyses from SpaFinder Research and its team of experts who visit hundreds of spa and wellness businesses around the world every year, as well as interviews with leading industry analysts, and data and feedback collected from SpaFinder?s partnership with over 15,000 spas, yoga, Pilates and fitness studios, wellness practitioners and salons worldwide.
The Spa Trend Report? is developed under the direction of SpaFinder President Susie Ellis, a contributing editor to NewBeauty magazine, a founding board member of The Global Spa Summit, and author of the widely read industry blog Susie?s Spa Blog. Ellis is credited with forecasting numerous industry ?mega-trends? that have taken hold in spas around the world.
?After four tough economic years that made experimentation challenging, we are seeing the industry once again pushing the envelope with exciting ideas, delivering more wows, more fun, and quite serious wellness innovation,? said Ellis.
Ellis continued: ?Overall, we see two distinct themes emerging. One is the industry innovating with diverse, new sensory experiences and treatments?from cold and ?vibration? therapies to new services for healthy feet. The second is how spas are re-imagining and extending their connection to customers, moving beyond the sporadic visit, to programs aimed at developing long-term relationships such as coaching and online gaming.?
The top ten global spa trends for 2012 are:
1.) Healthy Feet Treatments
The delicate human foot contains 33 joints, 26 bones, and 126 muscles, ligaments, and nerves ? which women regularly squeeze into high heels. Add the fact that the average person spends four hours a day on their feet, and it’s no wonder there is a national epidemic of foot problems like bunions, hammertoes, arthritis, and worse.
Spa-goers can now take care of their troubled tootsies with a variety of treatments and classes. Canyon Ranch SpaClub in Las Vegas offers a comprehensive ?Healthy Feet? program, with computerized gait analysis and treatments in zero-gravity chairs, while Yamuna’s boot camps in New York City teach attendees to improve their posture and strengthen the muscles in their feet. There are even 100% foot-focused med-spas such as California’s Stride Wellbeing, which combines podiatric medical care with a menu of foot-pampering treatments. And podiatrist-overseen ?medi-pedis? are booming, like those served up at celebrity foot doc Margaret Dabbs? London centers, or famed French foot doctor Bastien Gonzalez? signature pedicures at One&Only spa resorts worldwide.

2.) Cold and Ice Treatments
From saunas to steam rooms to hot stone massages, spas have traditionally turned up the heat. But while heat promotes relaxation and detoxification, the benefits of icy therapies ? including better circulation and reduced inflammation of muscles and joints – are finally getting their due.
Infrared saunas, which direct radiant heat into the body without heating the air, are becoming more widespread, and more extreme cold and hot/cold-contrast treatments are on the rise. Every ESPA spa in the world now offers ice rubdowns after saunas, while spa-goers at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas can experience falling snow in its Arctic Ice Room. A new Snow Shower from Thermarium will hit the market soon, and for hardcore ice devotees there’s cryotherapy, where a person spends 2-3 minutes in a chamber cooled to a mind-numbing -120

Salonceuticals Launches Awareness Campaign to Help Consumers Compare and Choose Hair Loss Shampoos
(PRWEB) December 05, 2011
Salonceuticals, the maker of RegenePure DR, a leading hair loss shampoo that has been formulated with scientific precision to give men and women a fuller, healthier and thicker head of hair, has launched the first in a series of awareness campaign events to help consumers separate fact from fiction when it comes to shopping for hair loss shampoos.
?Not all hair loss shampoos are created equal,? commented Don Farber of New York and Miami-based Salonceuticals. ?And it?s essential for both men and women concerned about hair loss to know the real facts, so that they can make an informed decision and choose a high quality shampoo that gives them fuller, healthier and thicker hair ? instead of making their hair loss problem even worse.?
Salonceuticals advises consumers to choose hair loss shampoos that contain the following:
Ketoconazole, which is commonly used to mend scalp inflammation and damage, and has been shown in a variety of clinical studies to disrupt the production of hormones that can cause alopecia (hair loss).
Palmetto extract, which has been trusted for its medicinal properties for centuries, and is currently approved in Europe for the treatment of male pattern alocpecia.
Caffeine, niacin and linolenic acid (a fatty acid), which gently and naturally stimulate the scalp and follicles.
Emu and jojoba seed oils, which provide deep tissue nutrients that heal and rejuvenate the scalp and follicles.
Salonceuticals advises consumers to expressly avoid hair loss shampoos that contain the following:
Alcohol, which robs the hair and scalp of much-needed moisture ? and makes a hair loss problem even worse.
Sodium lauryl sulphate, which is added to give shampoo that traditional ?sudsy look and feel,? but is also a skin irritant.
DEA (diethanolamine), which can react with other ingredients to form a severe carcinogen called nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA), which is absorbed by the skin. The Cancer Prevention Coalition warns that NDEA has been linked with stomach, esophagus, liver and bladder cancers.
Artificial colours, synthetic fragrances, and other harsh chemicals, which do absolutely nothing to improve hair and scalp ? in fact, they cause further damage.
?Hair loss isn?t just a health or appearance issue, it?s a deeply distressing emotional experience,? added Farber. ?It?s simply immoral for some companies to prey on the emotional vulnerabilities of men and women by making false promises with their hair loss shampoos, or by adding damaging and dangerous ingredients to their products like alcohol, DEA, sodium lauryl sulphate, artificial colors, and more. We hope that our awareness campaign gives men and women suffering from or worried about hair loss the information they need to make a smart shampoo choice, so they can look and feel their very best.?
Men and women wishing to learn more about hair loss shampoo facts and myths are invited to visit the RegenePure DR website at http://www.regenepuredr.com. Visitors will find helpful product information, FAQs, a complete list of ingredients, and the opportunity to purchase RegenePure DR at the lowest guaranteed price.

The site features many one of a kind items and limited stock items as well.
Student designers like to use scraps of leather pieces found on The Leather Guy site because of their affordability.

Some of their shows were at Bristol Renaissance Festival, Minnesota Horse Expo, Prairie Du Chein Rendezvous, Albert Lea Rendezvous and a variety of local festivals.
In 2004, the couple began selling leather on the Internet from their garage and moved the business to a larger location in 2006. The new facility gave them space to expand and permitted them to open a retail store in St. Charles, MN, with a wider variety of products. Shoppers are welcome to visit their physical store at 437 West Fifth Street, St. Charles, MN.
Tracy and Keith have a goal of providing a full leather shopping experience with a complete line of leather hides for their customers.

The Leather Guy offers tanned hides suitable for upholstery leather and everything needed for upholstering chairs, stools, car seats and other items. The store carries all types of upholstery grade hides in various colors as well as tools, sewing machines, needles, thread and other supplies.
