At last weekend's "Wig" fundraiser, many of the shops in the Courtyard in Downtown Campbell organized a raffle ad donated a portion of proceeds to fund the purchase of a real hair wig for one of the employees of Bombshell Boutique who has severe Alopecia Areata (spot baldness) and was bullied because of her disorder. We easily surpassed our target and all additional funds were donated to No Bully, an organization that promotes anti-bullying initiatives.

Here's a look at the lovely Anjolie modeling an outfit from Bombshell Boutique with her new hair!

Do you know someone who would benefit from the Peninsula Pilates Project's Movement Disorder Class, geared towards people with Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, or Traumatic Brain Injury? As of mid-February, we have open space in our March classes, held Mondays and Wednesdays, 1pm-1:45pm. Please phone Erin 949-374-4683 for more information or to reserve a spot.

The Movement Disorder Class encourages body awareness and mind-body connections. Research has shown that exercise can improve gait, balance, tremor, flexibility, grip strength, motor coordination, and contribute to neuroplasticity which helps the brain form new connections. Balance and proprioception can be compromised by Parkinson’s disease, so this class emphasizes activities that stimulate the brain and body simultaneously.

If you haven't heard yet, there were mass layoffs throughout the Mercury News Organization and the staff of their community newspapers division was gutted. This would include the Campbell Reporter, which often helped spread news about things happening in or affecting Downtown Campbell. Small downtowns like ours rely on community engagement to remain healthy and vibrant and we will miss the Campbell Reporter and its sister publications. The hard work of their underpaid reporters and photojournalists have played an important role in helping Downtown Campbell come out of its days as a too quiet downtown of antique shops that was deserted after 6pm.

To all of the women and men (I call out the women first for good reason) who've helped to create a more engaged and informed community, we've appreciated your dedication and professionalism. Thank you for your work in service to our communities. Good luck in your new adventures and may we meet again.

Pure Beauty Esthetics is offering a Valentine's Lip Special. Get $100 off any full-priced lip procedure when you book your appointment on our website and mention "Lip Special" - this offer is valid for any lip appointment booked for February 2018.

A lip tattoo is a procedure meant to enhance the color and shape of your lips. Lip tissue is soft, thin, mucosal, and a tactile sensory organ. With age or environmental factors lips can lose color and shape. Lip tattoos are an advanced procedure in cosmetic tattooing. Lips are numbed, and the session is typically a two-hour appointment. Mature lips require more outlining and contouring and the desired results may be more like a lipstick effect. Younger lips may just desire light coloring like a blushed lip, sometimes referred to Aquarelle lip, giving it a watercolor effect more sheer then the lipstick application.

Erika Mopress, a Licensed Esthetician and Certified Permanent Makeup Technician at Pure Beauty Esthetics, is trained in many different lip tattoo techniques so she can personalize your result. Complimentary consultations for lips are always recommended before the procedure to make sure you are an ideal candidate for this procedure.

For more information, please phone us at 831-426-4321. Pure Beauty Esthetics is located at 800 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
