‘Tis the Season to Start Holiday Shopping
Nov 2004
by Leslie Askerneese

Greetings Soul Pitt Readers!  Soon, we’ll all go out trying to find the ideal gift for family and friends. These gifts should reflect each individual’s personality, color, size and style. We’ll wonder if he or she will like how it looks, taste or smells and will it  bring warmth and allow them comfort. It should be something that will appeal to the eye as well as the mind, body and soul. This gift should be long lasting and reflect how you feel towards them. It may be affordable or force you to use your credit card or go outside of your budget to purchase it. You would be willing to stand in long lines if you need to, that is just how strongly you feel about buying this gift. Some of you will wake up at dawn to avoid standing in the long lines and others will wait until Christmas Eve to go out and do some last minute shopping. Whatever it takes to bring a smile to your friends and or loved ones face and make their day!  Can I make a suggestion? Have you ever thought of keeping it simple? Can you imagine being able to give somebody a gift where you don’t have to worry about the size, smell, color, standing in long lines, getting up at obscene hours to shop for it. You could shop for multiple people at one time and it’s good for your health. It’s a SPA GIFT CERTIFICATE. Think about and shop wisely this year. There are a variety of options to fit your budget.  It’s my job to make you aware of alternatives that are available to you and I take great pride in doing so.  Happy Shopping!   Leslie Askerneese is the Owner / Manager - The Ultimate Beauty Spa --  If you would like to know more about her Spa Gift Certificates, please give her a call at 412-466-2264 - Visit her Soul Pitt PowerPage here

What is Alternative Medicine and why is it necessary?
October 2004 by Leslie Askerneese

We often go to the doctors with hopes that he/she can rectify whatever is ailing us. He will give us a prescription which will in most cases not cure your problem, but will make it more bearable. Please do not misinterpret what I’m saying here, I’m not saying don’t go to the doctor. (As a matter a fact you should schedule an appointment to see your family physician and dentist yearly.) There are things you could be doing to make it unnecessary for you to visit the doctor as often and cut back on taking prescription medicines. Some healthy alternatives are: healthy eating habits, exercise, getting the proper rest, eliminating the abuse of alcohol and over the counter prescription and recreational drugs. This lifestyle does not happen overnight. You can start out by changing the way you look and think about your self. It is necessary to acquire healthy living standard for longevity and the prevention from acquiring health aliments prevalent in your family. We live in a highly stressful society there is pressure to be a provider, a saint, a parent to our children, the ideal husband or wife, a good employee or employer, a mentor to our peers. My suggestion to you is to find a place in or outside you home, that you can go to and just chill out! Take a little time out for yourself each day and you will definitely see a difference in your attitude. Check, us out monthly we will be giving you suggestion on healthy living. We will be covering the benefits of spa services. Healthy eating practices, exercise routines and many of other topics dealing with health and wellness. Until then, Peace!
