Orly and its sister brand Spa Rituals are among nail polish makers that have heard consumer concerns and removed the so-called "toxic three" -- toluene, dibutyl phthalate, and formaldehyde -- that can impair breathing and cause birth defects and cancer. Orly went a step beyond other brands and also took out a fourth ingredient, formaldehyde resin, spokesman John Galea said.</div>

"We have been very diligent in working with the Nail Manufacturers Council to eliminate these chemicals," he said. "We did a lot of research to change the formulation so that it doesn't affect the wearability our customers look for."</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Time has passed by quickly. Very quickly. The last 6 months are a blur and we have neglected our blog. If we told you all that had happened we are sure you could understand why. But let us not focus on the past, lets tell you about</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> what to expect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The release of the Jojoba Youth Serum. The Jojoba product range has been amazing for us. The product moves off our shelves at a very satisfying rate and its natural contents supports our philosophy of offering our clients the least possible chemicals. The Jojoba Youth Serum hasn't reached us yet but its jojoba oil enriched with added vitamins and antioxidants for healthy, youthful and radiant looking skin.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weddings. We are now taking appointments for summer weddings, most so far for 2014. We try to keep the number of weddings we do in any one season to a reasonable number. The reason is we value the role we play very highly. When a bride chooses to spend time in the salon with us, and often they have their support crew with them, then we want them to have exclusive use of the salon, creating memories and having a relaxing and fun time without feeling any unnecessary pressure. Come and take a look at what Turret House can offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winter wellness. Now is the time to power up for winter. Take your vitamins, take time out for yourself, have a facial, a body scrub to rid yourself of dead skin and let your skin glow. Welcome the shorter days with warm fires and reruns of Game of Thrones. So bad its kinda good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Stay well<br />

I guess this will determine some of the wedding trends for the next year. If you are getting married we would love to help you achieve the radiant beautiful look. Weddings are one of the perks of doing this job...we get to play a part in one of the most important days of your life. Any way here is a short list of important things we have on our minds at the moment...<br /><br />Books<br /><br />Whom Not to Marry by Father Pat Connor a fabulous piece of literature - the new woman's bible that shows how to distinguish Mr Right from Mr Right Now.<br /><br /><br />We are listening to...Adele and loving Someone Like You and Britney Spears song Criminal. And in the Village Cafe the other day "Where do you go (my lovely) by Peter Sarstedt came on so now purchased from i-tunes and playing in the salon. An oldie but what a wonderful song.<br /><br /><br />Products we love<br /><br />Our Jojoba Range is flying off the shelves and with all the feedback both from our own customers and in the media reaffirms we have made the right decision in choosing to stock this product. The thing is that it is a reasonably priced range packed with fantastic plant and food based ingredients. <br /><br />Jojoba is naturally antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, hypo-allergenic, analgesic & contains powerful antioxidants, Omega 6 + 9 fatty acids and vitamins A, D & E. The molecules of golden jojoba have a uniquely long, straight shape that allows jojoba to absorb into skin cells destroying bacteria, dissolving dried sebum and creating a deeply moisturising barrier across the skin. The unique molecular structure of jojoba is almost identical to the sebum in human skin that naturally cleanse and moisturise. Skin does not recognise jojoba as anything but its own so it lets jojoba in where it soothes, nourishes and moisturises like no other substance on earth. <br /><br />We have in stock a full range of skincare as well as the pure Jojoba Oil - a natural antibiotic, Anti-inflammatory, Hypo-allergenic,Analgesic, Antioxidant, Contains vitamins A, D & E ontains omega 6 & 9. Soothes many skin conditions such as: Acne, psoriasis, eczema. For men it can used after shaving, pop a few drops of Jojoba into your shampoo and conditioner for silky smooth hair, or use it straight on your hair.<br /><br />Take jojoba internally it is great to keep you regular, and keep you nourished on the inside. You can use Jojoba with your pets, dogs respond well to Jojoba.<br /><br />Jojoba increases the skins elasticity up to 40% it is excellent for pregnant mothers to get ready for child birth. It is also excellent for stretch marks.<br /><br />It also treats warts, cold sores, canker sores and athletes foot due to the high Iodine content and mineral content of the oil. What a wonder product! <br /><br /><br /><br />From all of us at Turret HouseGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10553871420342117697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353262056294405770.post-59897594710766485662011-03-06T15:07:00.000-08:002011-03-07T19:21:33.442-08:00Tis the season for change<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2sRsr8oYZM/TXWft0ejD_I/AAAAAAAAAF8/g125H9Omq4M/s1600/jojoba%2Bproducts1.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2sRsr8oYZM/TXWft0ejD_I/AAAAAAAAAF8/g125H9Omq4M/s400/jojoba%2Bproducts1.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581542922725298162" /></a><br />We feel change is in the air...for so many of us we have battled, dragged our feet, sought the light and tried to find our way through 2010 and have now awoken to a new year where change seems inevitable if not already happening. Although we hope for positive change we know that its not what changes its how you deal with change. So be strong, open your mind, your heart and embrace life.<br /><br />For those of you not already hooked, we have a new range of skincare in stock now. It's the Jojoba Company - the products are the highest quality natural skin care, and are combined with the world's most revered skin care ingredients, pure essntial oils and golden jojoba. Jojoba originated in the deserts of central America where Indians discovered its amazing natural healing powers. <br /><br />Jojoba is naturally antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, hypo-allergenic, analgesic & contains powerful antioxidants, Omega 6 + 9 fatty acids and vitamins A, D & E. The molecules of golden jojoba have a uniquely long, straight shape that allows jojoba to absorb into skin cells destroying bacteria, dissolving dried sebum and creating a deeply moisturising barrier across the skin.

It is also excellent for stretch marks.<br /><br />Jojoba is safe to use on babies, great for nappy rash, cradle cap, any skin irritations. If your baby is constipated pop a little Jojoba in their mild or give to them in a dropper to make them go.<br /><br />All this and a reasonable price tag. We are delighted with it!Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10553871420342117697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353262056294405770.post-87893953924084003092010-12-16T16:41:00.000-08:002010-12-19T15:20:36.825-08:00We wish you a very merry Christmas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TQ6ENBhMv4I/AAAAAAAAAFs/nTVoqpQTExo/s1600/blog%2B003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TQ6ENBhMv4I/AAAAAAAAAFs/nTVoqpQTExo/s400/blog%2B003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552520749875249026" /></a><br /><br /><br />We love Christmas. For all sorts of reasons. We see lots of lovely new people visiting our wee town, we have time with our family, we eat excessively and share special moments with our loyal clients.<br /><br />So here's to a happy Christmas - here's some of the things we will be thinking of, doing, drinking, reading, listening to and so on....<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Books</span><br /><br />Eat to Live by Dr Joel Fuhrman, The Ultimate Happiness Prescription by Deepak Chopra and Treasure Yourself by Miranda Kerr.<br /><br />We are listening to...Taylor Swift Long Live, Christmas Lights by Coldplay and Runaway by Kayne West...if you have a spare 38 minutes view the video on You Tube. It really is beautiful photography.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Drinking</span> Magaritas at the moment - its a fab summer drink.<br /><br />We are loving all the great places to visit in Martinborough...Medici, Vynfields, Providore, The Village Cafe and the Tin Hut in Featherston. We are spoiled for choice. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Products we love</span><br /><br />The Crabtree and Evelyn Christmas spray, what a delightful perfume!<br /><br />The new design in foot files - we have them in stock and they are brilliant. It makes it so much easier.<br /><br />We have a lot of clients here that work outdoors and complain of the consequences of the sun on their skin. Our contribution to helping prevent this is Danne sunscreen. This is the best sunscreen and we have clients who wear it all year round. Its a top notch product. Our other contribution - eat plenty of anti aging foods; carrots, watercress, spinach, broccoli, kumara, melons and foods to protect you from the environment; wheatgerm, leafy greens, nuts and wholegrains.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Men we Love</span><br /><br />All the local men who month after month come here for a haircut. We think you are great.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Women we love</span><br /><br />What else can we say...the women who make this business possible we are so lucky to have such wonderful clients.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Our thoughts</span><br /><br />We are thinking of the Pike River miners...we get to go home Christmas.<br /><br />Also of Richard Wilson. He will be greatly missed and there will be definite empty spot and feeling for this year's holidays.<br /><br />So no more from us for this year but we will see you all back soon. We are open most of the time so if we can help let us know. <br /><br />It is our sincerest wish for a very happy and blessed Yule season and that the coming New Year is filled with health, happiness and prosperity for you.<br /><br />From all of us at Turret HouseGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10553871420342117697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353262056294405770.post-21768282400510388962010-08-29T16:17:00.000-07:002010-10-28T18:01:03.394-07:00Straight Talking and a few Curls of Wisdom<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TMoXYcwiw0I/AAAAAAAAAFM/36uLoE13pPs/s1600/back-massage.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 81px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TMoXYcwiw0I/AAAAAAAAAFM/36uLoE13pPs/s200/back-massage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533260800982172482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TMoXYJXzGeI/AAAAAAAAAFE/rpg2ou3rIlI/s1600/candles.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TMoXYJXzGeI/AAAAAAAAAFE/rpg2ou3rIlI/s200/candles.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533260795778111970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TMoXXgqJR-I/AAAAAAAAAE8/Ky73MmBIK0o/s1600/ultimate-pampering.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 157px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/TMoXXgqJR-I/AAAAAAAAAE8/Ky73MmBIK0o/s200/ultimate-pampering.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533260784849209314" /></a><br />We have started the wedding season! Take a look at our last blog it has photos from our last season and information on why you should book your wedding at Turret House. Anyway, for this months useless and not so useless information please read on!<br /><br />We are listening to...Eat,Pray Love Soundtrack and a couple of french ditties by Babylon Circus. Songs are way more sexy when you can't understand the words.<br /><br />Drinking Croft wine the 2006 pinot is fabulous<br /><br />We are loving this blog http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com<br /><br />Quick fixes for the face<br /><br />If you can't afford beautiful french clay which we use by the way, then use kitty litter. Apparently you add a little water and make a paste. I can't say we have tried it yet but if you do let us know the result!<br /><br />Ooh and we can't forget to tell you about our new product, from Lot 8 a beautiful facial product made of olive oil and infused with other natural aromatic oils - its wonderful and - if you have a wee bit of acne add a drop of lavendar oil to the oil. Perfect skin food!<br /><br />Our exercise goal for the season - to have a waist size 70% of our hip size. Apparently that's sexy...and do we care...yes actually.<br /><br />What you should do right now...<br /><br />If you want to do something special then consider a couples package - we have had quite a few people through lately and what a wonderful way to reconnect. Its a wonderful pampering with delightful food and drink. You need to experience it, people love it - it is truly the ultimate. <br /><br />At this time of year it is easy to be 'run down' by winter so we recommend the following to give yourself a instant pick me up.<br /><br />- Get a professional browshape. Groomed brows make you look polished and allow you to get away with wearing less make up.<br />- Bronze up. Applying a tan makes you feel thinner.<br />- Splurge on a manicure or pedicure. Fresh shiny nails make you happy whenever they catch your eye.<br />- De fuzz all over. Being smooth and hair free make you feel good.<br />- Get a blowdry. Get bouncy voluminous hair with not too much product and it should last for days.Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10553871420342117697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353262056294405770.post-34110297906370700422010-04-12T02:09:00.000-07:002010-09-02T18:24:33.017-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S_nyq-S_dxI/AAAAAAAAAEs/QDInCyWstBU/s1600/SandraBrent-016%5B1%5D"><img style="float:right;

We hope you enjoy just a few of the photos we have on file from our Summer season.<br /><br />If you are thinking about a wedding then the current makeup trends are:<br />Romantic goth polished, dramatic, moody and glamorous. Purple is a key shade for this season and characterizes well the dramatic undertow of dark, gothic romanticism.<br /><br />The image of a ballerina projects poise, grace, and polished elegance. Natural tones offset this classic feminine, luxury look. Muted dove greys, pastel mauves, dusty flesh pinks and creamy nude tones, edged with charcoal and a touch of black, to give definition to the pastel palette.<br /><br />Hair - keep with classic and soft styles with a modern or playful twist such as the traditional chignon or high bun with curling or backcombing. Pin high on the crown its so glamorous. Try a hair accessory such as silk flowers, lace, clips or headband.<br /><br />Remember these are just trends and you can do whatever you like. And hey if you don't know we have plenty of up to date mags to trawl through.<br /><br />If you are thinking of a hair and makeup artist for your wedding consider the following:<br /><br />Your lead artist at Turret House reported to Peter King and Peter Owen the guys who got an Oscar for Lord of the Rings. She led a huge team of hair and makeup artists and worked on a number of the stars. She has also spent 10 years doing top end European commercials with the like of Tony Kaye and Ridley Scott.<br /> <br />We are not stuck with one makeup brand - we just buy the best of the different brands. YSL, Revlon, Chanel, Guerlain just to name a few. <br /><br />We don't just view your face but we also look at your decolletage, back and shoulders. We also do a whole range of pre wedding preparations such as manicures, pedicures and facials. <br /><br />Turret House is the perfect place to enjoy the preparation - its relaxing and the staff are dedicated to helping you with anything, even the last minute speech! Although we travel to anywhere, this is the perfect place to get away from what can be stressful preparation. Coming here is about you, not about everything else.<br /><br />See you soon<br />The Turret House TeamGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10553871420342117697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353262056294405770.post-68342159867260883792010-03-14T17:52:00.000-07:002010-03-18T16:33:33.973-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S6K2eiSIPqI/AAAAAAAAACs/C2xQ82xWHBc/s1600-h/_TMN7792.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S6K2eiSIPqI/AAAAAAAAACs/C2xQ82xWHBc/s200/_TMN7792.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450119134786895522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S6Kp8CVlAlI/AAAAAAAAACk/7ksJlgCOepw/s1600-h/_TMN7806.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S6Kp8CVlAlI/AAAAAAAAACk/7ksJlgCOepw/s200/_TMN7806.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450105347956343378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S6Kj2jrpYNI/AAAAAAAAACc/f7DcFgKF_X0/s1600-h/_TMN7798.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/S6Kj2jrpYNI/AAAAAAAAACc/f7DcFgKF_X0/s200/_TMN7798.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450098656758292690" /></a><br />As another season comes to a close, a whole new season of possibility opens up. The Oscars always serve to remind us of the glamour and there is a part of so many of us that likes to imagine we can have a bit of the glamour in our own lives. Although not in any way supported by the Oscar establishment, the movie Nine is an inspiration to glamour. It is our movie of the month and the music is the soundtrack to the movie. See it, listen to it and love it for what it is.<br /><br />Words of wisdom<br /><br />Live for today, not yesterday - it's gone dammit (but love your memories)<br /><br />Where to eat<br /><br />Go to Vynfields - what a fab place to eat and good food to boot. Their <br />food and wine is organic - we love those people who give a damn about what we put in our mouths. <br /><br />Sushi for lunch from the Martinborough Hotel on a Wednesday.<br /><br />Books....<br /><br />The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra and as you might already know we have a great choice of beautiful magazines but the best value for money is the Harpers Bazaar.<br />And please if you have borrowed books bring them back!<br /><br />What to eat<br /><br />Make the most of the last of the seasons raspberries and blueberries<br />And to make someone's day make some jam or a pie and give it to someone special.<br /><br />And as the nights get cooler then have a candlelit dinner, put a fire on and just embrace what good things autumm brings.<br /><br />The beautiful people...<br /><br />We love Johnny Depp at the moment - and Kate Hudson. Kate looks like a whole heap of fun.<br /><br /> <br />Style Guide<br /><br />The colder weather often means we go from warm rooms to cold outdoors - so you need to hydrate your skin with moisturiser.<br /><br />Boots are also in the shops - which means cutting your toenails shorter for a comfortable fit.<br /><br />Wear deep red lipstick and nail polish oh the glamour! In the words of Penelope Cruz in her song from Nine 'A call from the Vatican'..."I will kiss your toes",get in here for a pedicure for kissable toes. <br /><br />Don't forget we stock the very lovely Italian Davines shampoo and conditioner range. With names like Love, Nounou and Momo and by the number of clients we have that are delighted with it, it must be good! <br /><br />Heres to the beautiful autumn leaves...<br /><br />Gail and the TeamGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10553871420342117697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353262056294405770.post-21538573804813257212009-11-24T15:16:00.000-08:002010-01-26T18:41:36.305-08:00Rituals<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/Swxpy5ZcjKI/AAAAAAAAAB0/SHFbf6WdEXM/s1600/141+%284%29.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; WIDTH: 133px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407813575687048354" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F4a3iAr5LfM/Swxpy5ZcjKI/AAAAAAAAAB0/SHFbf6WdEXM/s200/141+%284%29.jpg" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br />We all have our little but important rituals. We have wonderful clients who come each month to have facials, to have waxing to have their hair coloured. These are rituals that make us feel comfortable with ourselves. So embrace your rituals, we know the importance of them and are privileged to share these with you.<br /><br />The photo is from a special photo shoot by Graeme Bowden with makeup and hair by Gail of course - we don't have any clients who have this as their ritual but I am sure you get the point!<br /><br />We have been a little quiet lately with the blog - with the death of Gail's father we have been keeping a low profile. However we are all back and in full swing. The wedding season marches on and keeps us very busy - we have already received a number of photos from the beautiful brides which we will post soon.<br /><br />For our usual wee pearls of advice, some thoughts from us and some useless information we have the following:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Words of wisdom</span><br />From my (Gail's) father "don't forget my dreams of tomorrow"<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Movie to see</span><br />Easy Virtue - the costumes a fab and Colin Firth has to be the sexiest man on the big screen...I guess its the accent.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Music</span><br />"Happy" by Leona Lewis<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Eating, eating and eating</span><br />I am sure we have used salmon before and add to that blueberries.
