Happy Valentine's Day! Like Demi Lavoto said... "Give Your Heart A Break"!

2/18/2020

Hey There!

A huge welcome to our new florist in town, Apple Blossom Florist and Gifts, LLC. I am pretty stoked about this. Just saying... who wouldn’t love an Oasis experience Gift Card with a beautiful bouquet of roses? Or in my case, Stargazer Lilies .

I hope your day is going well. Lawd knows mine, my daughter Abby, is consuming my life (how dare she)! This weekend, she has two volleyball games and two volleyball tournaments (go Blue Devils, whoot, whoot!). Because of this, Oasis will have limited hours of operations this weekend.

But with all the chaos, we have something to look forward to, and you are invited! Join #teamOasis for a good cause, the WDBX 2nd Annual Mardi Gras Madness party, hosted by the HOT HOT HOT Louisanna Gumbo Pot and a dear friend of mine, the White Raven. This is a two-night Local Event Featuring the following:

Friday, Feb 28th at 7:00 pm:

Route 51 Brewing Company & Banquet Center to hear Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp. Enjoy cajun food including an alligator, drink, 50/50 raffle, guitar/amp raffle, dancing, and so much more!

Saturday, Feb 29th at 3:00 pm:

Brews Brothers Taproom for day 2 and your favorite local bands, including Miss Jenny & The Howdy Boys, FiddleRick & The Bourbon Boys, The Magnatones, and The McDaniel Trio. Food by Kilby's!

Presale tickets are available at Plaza Records in Carbondale for $20.00, which will get you 2 day admission AND an event t-shirt! And a $10.00 donation to the station will be accepted at the door both days.

We hope to see you there, and in costume! I will be “Storm” from Xmen (the 1st female black superhero #HappyBlackHistoryMonth).

Hydration Recipe:

Keeping hydrated is such an important part of staying healthy... I will continue to say it until water (and the celebratory martini) is the only thing you are drinking . Water promotes cardiovascular health, keeps your body cool, helps muscles and joints work better, and also keeps skin supple. Try this month's hydration recipe, Watermelon Strawberry Mint Water!

Why Massage is Good for the Heart ❤️

Did you know❓: Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of men and women in the United States, according to the American Heart Association and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. So, since February is American Heart Month, let’s explore the ways in which massage can protect and improve our cardiovascular health.

Maintaining healthy blood pressure can contribute to lowering the odds of having a heart attack. Like Demi Lavoto said, 🎶"Give Your Heart A Break" 🎶. A number of long-term studies have shown that a consistent massage (weekly or at least monthly) can decrease diastolic and systolic blood pressure.

By massaging and relaxing the muscles of the body we:

reduce stress
stimulate nerve endings
release endorphins
decrease the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline
releases contracted muscles
push venous blood towards the heart, easing the strain on the heart

In this way,massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach for allowing the body to naturally heal itself. Getting a massage from a skilled practitioner on a regular basis, is key to receiving the cardiovascular benefits from massage. We highly recommend our massage therapist, Samantha Massey (she is the bomb dot com!). Please keep in mind that the effects of massage are cumulative and if the goal of your massage is health maintenance, a massage every week or two can help one feel better, all while reducing tension and stress levels.

Featured Service: Corrective Massage (60 or 90 Minutes)

Here at Oasis, we strive to serve all kinds of wellness conscience women. Whether you are an athlete, retiree, or both, we offer massage techniques to help you achieve your wellness goal. Sam Massey is not only a bundle of fun-loving energy, but she is also incredibly knowledgeable in all things muscle and massage.

If you have been battling an ache or a pain (like me and my stupid, but much needed right shoulder), please schedule a corrective massage this month with Sam! Allow her the opportunity to make you feel touched by an angel. Don’t take my word for it, click the button below and scroll to the bottom of our homepage to see what our clients have been saying about Sam's skills!

Feature Product: AnteAge Serum

Aging has met it's match! The AnteAGE MD® two-step System harnesses the power of stem cell growth factors and cytokines to prevent and reduce the appearance of skin aging.

have been chatting alot about keeping hydration in the skin during the winter months, but skincare isn't only about hydration. Certainly not when you have been a child of the Iodine & Baby Oil 70’s.

Ladies, there comes a time for cellular repair! AnteAge Serum is a corrective serum, particularly formulated for my gals “of a certain age" (40+). This serum is a growth factor designed to help skin cells communicate between one another for better functionality.

As we age, even our skin cells become “hard of hearing”. AnteAge is the perfect hearing aid to increase how well your skin can produce moisture, antioxidants, collagen, elastin, and all the other things we start to lose as our 40’s hit us! This serum is one of my favorites because it is effective and simple to use.

Reminders:

Don’t forget we will have limited hours today for Valentine's Day! Surely your loved one won't wait until the last minute to get you a gift... but just in case, be sure to remind them that Oasis will be closing at 1:00 pm on Valentine's Day, Feb 14th 2020.

Gift Cards can be purchase online 24/7. Click the image below to get one right now!

Upcoming Events:

To all my Murphysboroians (and the wannabes ), keep a look out for the details on the St. Patrick's Day Parade. I personally look forward to seeing what Ms. Molly of Molly’s Pint has in store for us this year!

In April we, in conjunction with my “Boro Business" posse, the Unique Shops of Murhyspboro, will be hosting the 3rd annual Spring Fling on Saturday, April 25th! This event will consist of a Gift Card special offer (just in time for Mother’s Day) and a VIP client product discount!

Thank you so much for your kindness and constant encouragement. We love being a part of this wellness conscience community! Keep on striving for your definition of greatness, we are cheering you on.

Sincerely,

Lilly Cook - Skin Spa Owner & Licensed Esthetician
