Bring Joy to a Child this Christmas

For more than 50 years, The SOS Caring for Community at Christmas program has been making life a little bit brighter for local residents in-need. The program provides a special gift for children and youth, and adults receive local grocery store gift cards. Find an SOS Angel Tree in one of dozens of local businesses, purchase the gift listed, and return your unwrapped gift to the store. A local child’s heart will fill with excitement when they find your gift on Christmas morning. The program also gratefully accepts monetary donations to ensure adults can purchase food that is important to them over the holidays.

Squeaky Clean Ultrasonic Facial

The Squeaky Clean Ultrasonic Facial is a quick, pain free beauty service that turns your complexion from dull and dry to bright, vibrant, and smooth in under an hour! Regular ultrasonic facials can reduce fine lines and wrinkles and keep your skin much softer. Sound waves are used to gently and thoroughly exfoliate the skin. Skin that is not blocked by layers of dead skin and dirt can absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively. This is also true for makeup and sunscreen; application will be smoother and more even. Consider Gift Certificates for holiday giving.

Healing with Reflexology

There are reflex points on your feet that are thought to relate to specific organs and glands in the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes using specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, improve blood circulation and support the body’s efforts to function optimally. The benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increase energy, boost circulation, induce a deep state of relaxation and eliminate toxins from the body. Your feet will love the pampering and you may feel calm and a sense of well-being.
