Clients often ask me what the "silver trunk" is in the corner is our
studio facial suite. This tiny piece of equipment happens to be one of
my most popular services, microdermabrasion.
For those of you who don't know, microdermabrasion is a quick and
painless procedure that offers a variety of benefits. Our 25 minute
procedure utilizes a diamond tip abrasion system that simultaneously
exfoliates and suctions those dead skin cells away with no downtime
afterwards!
Benefits include smoother looking skin and better product
absorption after the first few treatments.
After 6-12 treatments
clients see a reduction in fine lines, lighter or diminished sun or age
spots, reduction in pore size, and overall beautiful and glowing skin.
Those of you looking for a more aggressive treatment can combine
microdermabrasion with a glycolic peel for the ultimate in exfoliation
treatments. We offer an amazing package of 6 microdermabrasion
treatments for $300, with the 7th and 8th free! Typical treatments in
this area cost around $100-$150 per treatment so this package is a great
value at only $37.50 per treatment.
Please let us know if you have any
questions about microdermabrasion or any of our exfoliating products!

Want to learn to do your own lashes?
What I recommend for those of you who are learning how to put false eyelashes on is to stay calm and take deep breaths. Always have a clean face when you start your make up... It provides a clean slate for the make up to lay nicely.
(1) First do your eyes the way you want them ....
Smokey
Natural
Whatever way you choose.
(2) Do your eyeliner to your liking
(3) Start by taking your eyelashes out of the pack
I always start mine by measuring the eyelash across my eye.
I always make sure it's a little shorter then my natural lash line.
(4) To ensure the most natural looking line snip the end of the lash (never snip the inner end).
(5) Squeeze glue on to the cardboard
(6) Put a small thin line across the back of your eyelashes
(7) Place the false eyelashes at the very base of the natural lash and press lightly!
(8) Please allow at least 10 mind for glue to dry completely !
(9) As
the glue drys the lashes will feel tighter and tighter after the 10 min
mark you can close both eyes and pull lightly to stretch the false
lashes
(10) When you have reached the 10 min mark
and your lashes feel comfortable, proceed to finish the look with
filling in the dotted line with your eye liner !
Tip: If you want a softer or heavier liner look use a thin brush and a dark color eye shadow (brown or black)
Ruthie eye is always a text away for your beauty questions and needs. Please feel free to text, call or email us !! 610-724-3808 or ruthieseyes@gmail.com!
Reminder - I am a licensed XTreme Lashes Stylist. Learn more here!
Happy lashes!

A new form of art...
About 4 years ago one of my friends asked me to paint her nursery with a jungle theme, and ever since then I have done many more, including my own. I took art classes all through high school but I never really did anything with it until then.
This week I was asked to paint one of the walls in my friend's nursery. It's going to be a painting of a tree for a neutral room, as they have not found out if they are having a boy or a girl yet. Ever since that first nursery, it's been a great way for me to utilize a hobby that I love and give my friends a unique gift at the same time.
Keeping some art in my life also prepared me for the career in makeup artistry that I love today! It's so fun and rewarding to be able to use creativity in my work on a weekly basis, whatever medium that ends up being.
Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!

Better Life Cleaning Products
A few months ago I had some free time and I was able to catch Shark Tank on a Friday night! I love this show and EVERYTHING it is about - entrepreneurship and bravery!
I watched the Better Life demonstration and immediately knew I had to try their cleaners. The guy who founded the company, sprayed one of the cleaners into his mouth to prove they were safe! HELLO!!!!! I placed my ordered within a few days and have been using a few of their products ever since.
Knowing these products are safe around children and pets is NUMERO UNO on my list.
I also like that I don't have to open every window in the house to get out the toxic smelling fumes from your typical house hold cleaners.
Better life products are "CRUELTY FREE, MADE IN THE USA, FRAGRANCE FREE, SULFATE FREE AND PETROLEUM FREE. "
This page shows how Better Life Products differ from the products you may be use to.
Check out this video that demonstrates one of the cleaners and its disinfecting powers!
I personally am a big fan of their kits: Housewarming, New Baby Essentials, Pet Lover, etc.
Are the products expensive? Maybe $2-$3 more then the cleaning products on the Target shelf.
But the video above is why I am willing to spend the $2-$3 more!
You can find Better Life Online and on Facebook!

Window Shopping
Hi everyone!
I have been searching the web for some fresh looks for spring. I came across a couple different sites and styles I love.
These pieces come from Catch Bliss Boutique.
How cute is the yellow summertime floral print kimono? The dress and accessories are from L. Mae Boutique
The blue high-low dress and accessories are from Charming Charlie's - can't go in there without buying something every time. Their selection is endless.
The best part of window shopping is it doesn't cost a dime. Hopefully I will pull the trigger on one of these adorable outfits for one of the many upcoming parties on the Calendar!
In case you missed it - we are offering a 6-Pack for Spray Tans - this time of year the legs are coming out - but are they tan?!!?! Show us this coupon on your phone and you can get 7 tans for $150!
Have a great weekend!

Each time I have ordered from Baby Be Hip, I have received an email confirmation of the package shipping AND it included a picture of my shipment, wrapped and ready for gift giving. Now that's impressive!!
This bath towel with embroidered name and personalized ribbon is one of my favorites! The towel is a great size and is still going strong after two years of bath time!

Wedding Season Wears
It's officially wedding season and I'm sure most of you are also finding
all of your fridge magnets filled with shower and wedding invites for
the spring and summer! I always try to make the most of what's in my
closet by re-wearing dresses and just adding new accessories or shoes to
change it up...but this year I am on the hunt for a few new dresses to
add to the mix.
I usually do a lot of shopping at Urban Outfitters and H&M, but I recently discovered more online stores like Asos (they happen be be having a sale up to 70% off) and Mod Cloth. Their dresses are anywhere from $20 to $100 but mostly in the lower end. There are a ton to choose from.
Here are just a few that caught my eye just because of how easily they could be re-worn with a different shoe or jewelry to create an entire new look:
And this amazing dress which I just love because it's a little different than what I would usually wear:
After you complete your look for the next shower or wedding, be sure to remember to put your best face forward and stop into Ruthie's Eyes for any pre-party skincare and makeup applications!
