Hello, I received a floral diaper cake for my shower. It was beautiful and really not like any that I have seen in the past, so I thought I might give them a shootout to everyone. Thanks Ray and Kathy! www.bloomingdiapers.com
Lice Knowing You, Inc, the Pacific Northwest’s premier head-lice removal company, announces the grand opening of their new lice treatment salon in Beaverton, OR. The first salon of its kind in Oregon, Lice Knowing You (LKY) staff are trained and certified head lice removal experts that specialize in head lice removal, head lice treatments, education and prevention.
Originally starting as a mobile unit, Nancy Gordon, owner and CEO of Lice Knowing You, Inc, realized that she could better serve her clientele if she had a salon where she could offer all of her mobile lice elimination services as well as a place for lice education, support, lice checks and most importantly, quick treatments.
“Our three salons in Seattle have been very successful at helping families cope and deal with all of their lice issues. We’ve had phone calls from people asking if we offer our services in the Portland area – the demand became to be so great that we decided to expand the business to Oregon. After all, lice is everywhere”, said Gordon. “By coming to an LKY salon, you are able to remove yourself from your home and the frenzy that often ensues when your family is affected by head lice. We get our clients lice and nit free in one appointment.”
Using only 100% natural, organic and non-toxic products, Lice Knowing You uses a scientifically proven 3-step process designed to rid the hair of lice quickly and thoroughly. The consultants at LKY are trained and certified in the Shepherd Method of strand-by-strand nit removal*. All services are guaranteed and clients following the LKY protocol have a 100% success rate at wiping out head lice. Salon services also include preferred “wet-head” lice checks and education on how to check for and prevent head lice in the future.
Clients who come to the new Beaverton lice treatment salon will be lice and nit free after one treatment – guaranteed. Clients are given a 30-day guarantee as well as free lice checks for 90 days, discounts on products, treatments and more. Lice removal treatments last, on average, between 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on length, thickness of hair and severity of infestation. While at the salon, clients are entertained with large flat screen TV’s, books, magazines, games and snacks. In addition, there is a separate, “lice-free” playroom for those children that have completed treatment or are waiting for siblings or other family members.
“Bottom line…No device, treatment or product is the miracle cure for head lice. The only 100% certain way of getting rid of head lice is to comb out all lice and nits from the head. All it takes is one viable nit missed and your head lice issue will return – often worse than when you originally started,” explains Gordon. “Head Lice are highly contagious and if the problem isn’t addressed – it will be passed around your community again and again – for weeks if not months. We’re here to make sure that your problem is gone for good – guaranteed.”
The new LKY Treatment Salon is located in Beaverton at 8225 Cirrus Drive – Beaverton, OR – 97008. To make an appointment for a lice check or treatment, please call 503.574.ITCH (4824). For more information about Lice Knowing You, Inc and our Portland lice clinic please visit www.liceknowingyou.com. LKY Treatment Salons are also located in Mercer Island, Federal Way and Mill Creek, WA.
*According the American Academy of Pediatrics and Harvard School of Public Health, combing with a lice comb is the most effective way of treating head lice.
During this time of year, with the holidays coming and the weather cooling off, it is always nice to have a few ways to relive stress and settle into a warm cup of tea. Staying healthy during this time is always important, keeping ourselves grounded and content helps our immune system stay strong.
At next weeks free essential oil class we will be talking about using oils this holiday season to help relax and relive stress and using oil to fend off cold/flus.
When using oils therapeutically, especially internally, purity and quality is of utmost importance. We will dispel some common aromatherapy myths and misunderstandings allowing you to make educated choices when sourcing pure oils and using them to protect and support your health!
I hope to see you next week for our oil class.

My company is currently recruiting new moms and expectant moms from the Portland area to participate in a 1 week $150 paid online bulletin board (which is very similar to a blog).
During the 1 week online bulletin board, you would be answering questions posted by a professional moderator, as well as communicating with other local moms like yourself about child care and products that new moms like yourself would be experiencing. All of the information you provide is completely confidential and is used only for research purposes. If you complete the full 1 week blog, you would be mailed a check for $150 for participating.
If you are currently pregnant, or are a first time mom with a child between 0 and 3 months then we'd love for you to participate. If you would like to participate, or would like additional information, you can contact us by emailing Beth at beth@focusfwd.com, or calling toll free 888-882-2466 x247. Or, if you'd like more information on our company before contacting us, feel free to check out our website at www.focusfwd.com.
Go to http://www.seventhgeneration.com/million-baby-crawl/ to create your own virtual baby and join Seventh Generation and millions of babies nationwide in a campaign to reform the 33 year old Toxic Chemical Substances Act. Invite other people to support your crawler and you could win a trip to 4 to D.C.
Did you know that current law does not regulate chemicals in cleaning products? And companies are not even required to list all ingredients on the label? Many of these ingredients are toxic. Please support the campaign and say "no" to toxins!
Watch for events around Portland where you can learn more about this campaign and get free samples and coupons of Seventh Generation products. Seventh Generation diapers, laundry detergents and dish soap are chlorine free and phosphate free, safe for you and your home!
And mark your calendars for the Million Baby Crawl at Washington Square Mall on November 18th, a fun, family-friendly event!
For more information or to host a Million Baby Crawl event, please contact Angi Gunther at confidentbirth@gmail.com
Our 3 year old just started preschool, and although it's only been 2 weeks since we started, we have already learned so much (and not just how to stack blocks and paint with water color)!
The other day, we had a parent meeting where we found out about government requirements for disinfecting in the classroom. Especially right now, with the H1N1 scare, all disinfecting products used at schools must be EPA certified as a pesticide. Needless to say, virtually all these products are toxic not only to germs, but to humans too, causing skin, eye and lung irritation or worse, and must carry warning labels. They also have very specific instructions for how they can be used around children who might mouth surfaces sprayed with these products.
For example, the Clorox® website states, "Q. Is it acceptable to use Clorox® Disinfecting wipes on children's toys and highchairs?
A. Yes, provided the high chair tray that may come in contact with food and toys that may be mouthed by children are rinsed thoroughly with water after wiping."
I am surely not the only one who thinks it seems completely contradictory that in order to keep our children "safe," we have to spray pesticides all around them! Yuck! No, that does not seem safe at all. And even with a water rinse, exactly how "thoroughly" is "thoroughly" anyway?
I decided to do some research on the issue and find a safer alternative to be used at my daughter's Preschool, and came up
with PureGreen24-- the FIRST and ONLY truly green, non-toxic, EPA-certified disinfectant on the market!
I am excited to be able to bring this product to my child's Preschool and want to offer it to your child's school or your office or sports team as well. Please go here to read more about PureGreen24, and you can shop here for PureGreen24 products. Please note the case quantity discounts!
