Snippers is AWESOME!!!

Monday, March 19th, 2012

I have taken my son to every single hair salon in the area and none of them seem to do his hair the way I invision it to look.  Never did I think that a boys haircut could be messed up so easily!  After trying every place around, I came across one of the best kept secrets in Boerne, TX!
SNIPPERS!!!!

Snippers is located at 430 West Bandera Suite 3, in the same shopping center as the new HEB in Boerne.  They do everything: cut and color, highlights, perm and waxing.  One of my favorite thing about Snippers is that they have a play area for my other kids to entertain themselves.  Puzzles, blocks, toys, and a kids table to do homework.  Oh, and another GREAT thing…children 8 and under can have their haircut for only $11.00!!!!!  Try finding that price with an experienced hair stylist anywhere else.  You WON’T!

Snippers has been in business for 17 years.  They take walk-in’s and always greet you with a friendly smile.  Next time you are looking for a place to take your kids to get their haircut or you are looking for a better salon for you, I highly suggest giving Snippers a try.  Call today to book your appointment!  830-249-4782.

Free Juice Plus for kids under 18!

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Order yours today!  For every adult order, you qualify for a free children’s order!!

For many years the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and every other national health association has emphasized the importance of eating at least five servings of raw fruits and vegetables every day. The health benefits of this are numerous, including:

  • Protection against cancer
  • Stronger immune system
  • Prevention of chronic illness
  • Protection against heart disease
  • Slows down the effects of aging

 These benefits are not only due to vitamins and minerals, but also from the enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and fiber contained within the raw fruits and vegetables. There are many more potential benefits of these nutrients such as improved intellectual function, better eyesight, and increased energy level. In short, our bodies simply function more efficiently.

How many of us actually eat 7-13 servings of raw fruits and vegetables every day? Some Americans may eat an orange with breakfast and maybe an apple with lunch. We are pretty good at making sure we finish our one or two cooked vegetables at dinnertime. However, virtually all of us fall far short of the quantity of fruits and vegetables we need to protect us from cancer, chronic disease, infection, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Very few of us are receiving the nutrition required to help our bodies run smoothly and efficiently and to maximize our potential for a healthy life.

It is difficult to get adults to consume their share of fruits and vegetables, but trying to coax children – from toddlerhood through the teenage years – to eat enough of them is nearly impossible. Many parents worry about their two-year-old who barely seems to eat anything at all or about their busy teenager-on-the-go who doesn’t even sit down to eat. The nutrients in fruits and vegetables can maximize the physical and intellectual development of our children as they grow through the school-age years.

What is Juice Plus+®? Juice Plus+® is more than extra vitamins and minerals. It is actually a whole food based supplement. The fruit capsules are made from apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, papayas. The vegetable capsules are made from carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, oat bran, rice bran, spinach, and tomatoes.

MESSAGE FROM CINDY LUTZ

Last spring I started working on a project for a friend by selling her surplus of children’s clothing on Ebay.  Well, I am completely overwhelmed with the amount of clothing that has been delivered to our home, and I could sell it on Ebay for 5 years and still not complete my mission for her.  Next week, I am opening our home to friends and friends of friends so others in our community can purchase these darling clothes.  Over 90% of the clothing is new with tags and would be a great bargain for anyone needing clothing for their little ones or shower/baby gifts.  Most clothing was purchased on sale from boutiques and major retailers.  I am selling these items for 50% off the lowest tagged price and all used clothing will have set prices – low set prices.  This is a great opportunity to stock up on gifts for baby, Christmas, baptisms, etc.

 Baby gifts include 3 Marthas burp cloths and bibs, loads of blankets, boxes and boxes of Trumpette socks, coats, bloomers, towels, plate sets, Bible sets and more.  All are new and in gift packaging.

 Children’s clothing is girls infant through size 5/6 and boys through a 2T.  Some of the brands include: Baby Nay, Anavini, Lemongrass, Little English, Children’s Place, Gymboree, Polo, Baby Lulu, Old Navy/Gap, Tralala, Rosalina, Feltman Bros, Kate Mack, oilily, Paris Cheri, rabbit moon, Vive la Fete, 3 Marthas, Kissy Kissy, Cach Cach, Zutano, le top, and the list could go on and on.  Again, I have to emphasize almost everything is new with tags and there are multiples of many items.   I have five packed racks of clothing and bins and bins of play clothes – most new!

 Stock up for fall, winter, spring and summer!

 I also have a box of Halloween/dress up costumes, loads of tutus, sun hats, bathing suits, pajamas still in boxes, and shoes, shoes, shoes galore (most still in boxes as well).

 There are also a few Maternity clothing items and a rack of ladies clothing that includes Michael Kors, Gap, Banana, Ann Taylor, Anne Klein, French Connection, BCBG and Laundry if that is of interest to you.

 The hours that I am planning to open our home are as follows:

Tuesday, October 4 – 9:00 to 1:00

Wednesday, October 5 – 9:00 to 3:30

Thursday, October 6 – 9:00 to 1:00

Friday, October 7 – 10:00 to 4:00

 I am also happy to take evening appointments by email or phone and depending on what is left at the end of the week may have a blow out sale on the morning of Saturday the 8th of October.  I will follow with another email should that be the case.  Everything must go – it has overtaken our home!

 My email is cindylutz@hotmail.com and home phone is 824-7817 cell is 286-6366 should you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
