Well, it's deep into January, the single month of the year that makes me crazy! Each year I think I've gotten over this January thing, and then each year, sometime during first or second week, it hits me. Enough! It's been cold enough, it's been dark enough, it's been January enough. I don't think that anyone really needs to do something about daylight savings time, I think that someone needs to do something about fixing January!

So, I've removed almost every light from my home now, and I've replaced them with stained glass lighting. Something about the colors just cheers me up. And a fire... NOTHING warms the spirit like a fire.

I did one more thing this year. I bought a giant Eiffel Tower and I stuffed hundreds of lights that flicker just like the real on in Paris.

I know it's not the real Eiffel Tower, but it makes me smile every single time I turn it on. I need stuff like this in January!

Its only 47 days until I get to take some real photos of the real Eiffel Tower in Paris anyway, so I guess I can put up with another January as long as I keep that as a goal.

I love the Eiffel Tower so much that is actually interferes with my walking in Paris. No matter what direction I head off in, within 30 or 40 minutes, it seems that I'm always walking towards the Eiffel Tower, no matter what destination I had in mind when I left the hotel. Sue and Aly mentioned this several times during our last trip. I can't help it, it's like a giant magnet for me.

I hope that the rest of you that have a January problem like me can find some fun little distraction that helps you cope with this difficult month. If you can't find anything that works, you could join us in Paris next spring and we can all keep this goal in mind during next January. This is my 17th January in Alaska, and going to Paris a couple months after January is the best solution I've found. If you have a better one could you share it with me?

We also have a Salon AlyAska web site up now which is also an online store. Salon AlyAska There is a really great sound track on this web site that is recorded at a lodge in Canada and you can hear the wind and the snow blowing in the background as well as an incredible mountain photo.

Sigel is selling some of his jewelry online now too at Sigel's Jewelry. This web site is pretty new so only some of the pieces are listed but it's still pretty good sized.

Our Esthetics Program (DaySpaSchool.Net) is going strong and we are usually book with new students about two to three months in advance. Ask Sue if you'd like to book a facial. If you want to find out more about our facials, ask Sue for our facials brochure. For more information on this program just click the link (left side of this page) for Esthetician Training. The Hairdressing link is located just below the Esthetician link. We also launched an online store for esthetician equipment for estheticians that want to expand their offering or upgrade their equipment, or that attended another school that doesn't provide any equipment for their students in their student kit. (weird huh?)

We will be adding more features to this news letter in the next few weeks.
