Another season nearing an end

revive11 — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:59:21 +0000

Wow, March already! How time passes. I apologize for not blogging more often, but with the new season coming and the sun shine and longer days, I am sure, I will be more active. Since the last post we have completed some renovations to the spa. We are very pleased to have a fourth massage room available and a new manicure lounge. If you have not had a tour of our space please stop in and have a comforting tea and a stroll thru.

How did everyone spend their winter months? I, myself have spent many hours cruising the pinterest website. Spending countless hours into the night becoming inspired to create, and design. So many thoughts and ideas, that when I look at what I have saved onto my desktop I realize that there is just not enough time. Inspired, YES! Some of the many ideas, are food related. So here is a quick and easy and most importantly-tasty recipe. Such a great snack, and so hard to eat just one!

No-Bake Energy Bites (recipe)

(makes 18-20 bites)

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes ( I like mine toasted)

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. You can always add different nuts or dried berries.

Hope you enjoy!

PS- Remember day light savings is Sunday, March 11 at 2am. First day of spring, Tuesday, 20 March 2012.

March Products We Love

revive11 — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:20:16 +0000

This month we “LOVE,” Ego flat irons. Choose an EGO that fits your lifestyle.

BIG EGO – (1 “) iron for statement styling with a polished exterior and ribbed outer body that inspires curl too. The plates heat fast with fully adjustable settings from 140˚ to 450˚ , an ergonomic shape and weight that’s a dream to use.

LITTLE EGO – a mini styler that’s big on features and just perfect for shorter styles but is also versatile and precise. You can straighten, wave or curl with one nifty and capable tool.

EGO styling tools harness NEW technology

HW2 technology (Hwangto Ceramic) gives NEW styling tool brand EGO its powerful ability to detox, de-stress, and de-frizz hair leaving it polished, healthy, and manageable. HW2 & Tourmaline pairs the wisdom and treasures of the East to create a brand new ‘intelligent’ molecule. The basis for HW2 comes from the mineral rich red earth in the mountainous pine forests of Korea, making this technology literally groundbreaking. The 4000 year old earth holds unusual properties emitting negative ions, far infrared rays and anions which work to reduce static, impart moisture, strip away toxins and add shine to hair.

EGO is a concise NEW range of styling tools that includes two irons, one dryer and one curling iron. The heated surfaces blend HW2 technology with the finest ground Tourmaline gems preserving the ‘intelligent’ honeycomb shape molecule. The result is super faster drying times, even and controllable heat, and a healthier more beautiful finish.

EGO Salon tools are hand made in Korea to give the you the best quality for long lasting Performance. Truly the best salon tools available.

Since we are now entering December, I feel it is only fitting to share a sweet indulgent recipe with you. For the last four years during our annual open house I have made these caramel squares with a creamy chocolate ganache topping. If you would like to try out these divine little morcels, you can this Saturday, December 3 from 10am till 4pm, at our 7th annual open house.

Heres the secret recipe as sited in an old Canadian Living magazine.

Ingredients

Base:

2 cups vanilla wafer cookies , crumbled
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter ,
1 egg

Toffee Filling:

1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup corn syrup

Ganache Topping:

6 oz bittersweet chocolate
2/3 cup whipping cream

Preparation

Line 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan with parchment paper, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) overhang for handles; set aside.

In bowl, combine crumbs with sugar. Whisk butter with egg; stir into crumb mixture until moistened. Press into prepared pan; bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until golden and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Let cool on rack.

Toffee Filling: In saucepan, melt together butter, sugar, condensed milk and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer reaches thread stage (230° to 234°F/110° to 112°C), 12 to 15 minutes. Pour over base. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.

Ganache Topping: Place chocolate in bowl. In microwave or on stove, bring cream to boil; pour over chocolate, whisking until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Pour over toffee layer; refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week or overwrap in heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks.)

Using paper handles, transfer bars to cutting board; peel paper from sides. Wiping knife with damp cloth between cuts, trim edges and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares.
