The F.C. Sturtevant Company has named skincare industry veteran Scott Friedman vice president of the Professional Skincare Division. Friedman will be leveraging his 20 plus years of industry experience to support F.C. Sturtevant’s probiotic skincare line, Columbia SkinCare, in the dermatologic and medical spa markets. The Professional Products Division develops products designed to help balance the body’s microbiome.
“I am very excited to be leading the Columbia Skincare Division of The F.C. Sturtevant Company. The emphasis on quality product development and commitment to comprehensive brand support and product training is best in class,” said Friedman. “Columbia Probiotics technology is the world’s first strain-specific probiotics created for topical usage. These clinically-proven, multi-functional products for all skin types fill a need that currently does not exist in the professional skincare market.”
Friedman’s experience includes consulting with Coola Suncare and Fillerina USA and launching both in the physician and medical spa markets, building a successful startup suncare company, MDSolarSciences into a seven-figure sales company and helping make MedSkin Solutions into a considerable contender in the Americas market.
“Scott Friedman is highly respected among colleagues, and he excels in product development,” commented company CEO Steven Rosenfeld.
Friedman is currently developing the company’s marketing plans for its expanded outreach into the professional skincare markets. With Friedman’s guidance, the company plans to introduce several new products over the next 12-18 months.
The landscaping industry has been growing at a healthy rate year over year. Forecasts also show that median income and revenue of landscape companies owners will continue to increase. And, as you can clearly see from Google Trends, the popularity (and therefore competition) of landscaping companies is rising as well.
This landscaping industry growth can be attributed to the following factors:
Increase in disposable income in the U.S.
Increasing number of older Americans (aging or busy homeowners)
Increased outsourcing of landscaping services
Increased level of spending for constructing private non-residential entities
Increased focus on corporate campus environment enhancements
Thus, there has been an influx of new entrants to the industry because of the increase in demand. If you are a landscaping business owner, you should now think of more ways to rise above the competition and maximize the potential of this growing market. Start by upping your marketing game.
1. You need to have a website for your landscaping business
Your website is your company’s online storefront. Today’s consumers – especially those seeking services – have developed the habit of doing research online before making a purchase decision. The contents of your website can help make prospects perceive you as a reputable professional. Showcasing your portfolio and sharing testimonials from your previous clients will establish your expertise and provide more information about your landscaping business.
2. Build and manage your reputation online
Register your landscaping business on the main directories: such as Google My Business, Yelp, Thumbtack, Porch, Angie’s List, and Home Advisor. This is one of the top/primary factors for making sure your business shows up in the maps – make sure you do it right. When prospects search for landscaping services online, seeing listings and reviews about your business will further emphasize your legitimacy and work quality. Ask your clients to write a short review for you and engage with them by leaving replies. This is also true for some of the negative feedback you might receive – always engage politely and leave your side of the story.
3. Run a campaign to make prospects call you
Now that you have established a website, register your business on listings, and have reviews from your existing customers, expect leads to come in asking for estimates and quotations. But on top of that, make sure also to target “warmer” leads – those who have higher intent to hire already – by launching a call campaign. You can do so by through pay-per-click (PPC) advertising on Google or Facebook. Your contact number should be on the main title or copy of your ads and the call to action “Call Now” should be clearly indicated. Targeted call campaigns have higher ROIs and can provide you with more landscaping customers.
4. Create an official business video
Most landscaping companies fail to realize the value of an official business video. This is a digital asset you can use across all your online platforms. On average, people spend more than an hour and a half watching online videos per day. In other words, people love watching and engaging with video online and that ain’t gonna change. A marketing video will make it easier and more engaging for potential customers to learn more about your landscaping services, get to know you as a business and help them Know, Like & Trust you. And of course, it will give me content for the search engines to find about your business & help build your trust/authority online.
5. Leverage social media
People spend time on social media for more than four hours a day. Your business should be there even when prospects are just idly browsing through their feed while stuck in traffic. Create a Facebook business page for your landscaping company and run Facebook Lead Ads to boost awareness and generate leads. It is also a plus if you build a community for your customers on social media. Ask them to share photos of your work, tag you, and leave reviews. Leverage the power of referrals so that prospects who find your Facebook and other social media pages see an online community of people who support your business. This gives prospects confidence about working with you.
6. Learn about SEO for landscapers
Businesses who appear on the first page of Google search results have more chances of closing the sale than those who appear on page two and beyond. Make your landscape business appear MULTIPLE on the first page of Google search by doing the following:
Make sure your website is search engine optimized – utilize keywords that prospective customers use to search about landscaping businesses.
Here is an example of a client of ours that we did this for:
Talk about DOMINATING the search engines. This client is getting ALL the traffic for this search.
7. Promote offline
Your marketing efforts should extend offline. Participate in local events to showcase your work and expertise to prospects in your area. You want your landscaping business to be your target audience’s top of mind when they look for landscaping services. Another idea is to join professional organizations or other community organizations where you can build your network with people and businesses who might need your landscaping services.
Show them you are an expert. Use your landscaping knowledge by teaching others about the best practices in your industry. Volunteer to share presentations for local garden clubs or other similar organizations.
8. Start your marketing efforts before the peak season
It always pays to start first. Peak season for landscaping services usually starts in spring and continues until fall, depending on the locality. Begin your marketing efforts earlier by offering a pre-pay discount. Recurring revenue is important for service businesses, such as landscape companies. Secure your existing clients’ business early on to also help you plan your budget and schedule routes.
9. Suit up
Make sure your landscape crew members are dressed in neat and clean attires that display your company name and logo. Even your landscaping trucks can serve as mobile marketing materials if you include your company name and logo. These efforts will increase brand awareness and recognition offline.
10. Make use of the 3/9 strategy
The 3/9 strategy in landscaping means that when you send a crew of 3 out to do a job. Two of them stay at the customer’s house to do the work, while the other one goes to the nine nearest houses to give fliers or leave door hangers, before returning to help or heading back to the offices.
Benefits of the 3/9 strategy:
Low cost
Another easy way to promote your business offline
Helps you learn more about your potential clients and their properties.
11. Connect with similar businesses and offer partnerships
Expand your network to get more business. Some businesses you can partner with are the following: real estate, pest control, architects, home inspection companies, garden shops, urban planners, community organizers, etc. They can refer you their client base and you can do the same for them also. You may even want to make service bundles to make the offer more enticing to customers.
12. Get help crafting your landscape marketing strategy
If you are the type of business owner who likes to focus on the operations of your business, getting some marketing help will be able to optimize your process of getting more landscaping customers. SERP Co has worked with hundreds of brands across several industries.
If you have great marketing and stellar skills, yet not enough
customers flood your
day spa, consider a front-to-back aesthetic and
sensory overhaul. Even a small budget can do wonders to attract more
curiosity and interest. Best of all, your pleasing space will inspire
and uplift your surrounding environment and the everyday people who
pass by it.
A
Magical Aroma
Aromas
have psychological and mental effects people bring into their visual
impressions. It helps if potential customers get a whiff of your day
spa before they enter it. Use natural incense, potpourri and
essential oils in low quantities so you do not cause headaches and
irritation instead of therapeutic benefits.
Citrus scents (tangerine, grapefruit, lemon) will make mere passerby
feel joyful and optimistic enough to come check the spa out.
Eucalyptus, tea tree and peppermint aromas will reverse fatigue or
depression into calm, relaxed energy the second customers walk
through the door.
Lavender, sandalwood and vanilla will create relaxing vibes your
clients may drift to rejuvenating sleep from during treatments.
Power
in Lights
Lighting
can make or break your aesthetic appeal to new and repeat customers.
Lighting ignites involuntary reactions in the brain and influences
what people think. High light intensity awakens and overwhelms
people, while dark and grim lighting can cause a flight or flight
response.
Think
of romantic restaurant lighting when thinking
about how to attract more customers to any store or
business, especially one promising retreat and restoration. If you
have a storefront or freestanding day spa, use all-glass fronts and
plain window treatments to harness the power of natural light.
Keep
harsh overhead skylights out of your day spa. If you work from an
older building, replace fluorescent lights with more pleasant (and
cheaper) low-wattage lamps. Flame and powered candles are most ideal
for treatment areas and relaxation rooms.
Communicate
in Colors
People
flock to day spas for a break from regular life, responsibilities and
work. Plan a color scheme inside your day spa against what people
want to escape.
Blue,
white and gray walls or decor imitate work and business environments.
Conservative tones like brown and black dominate many people’s homes.
Lay out your day spa in juicy citrus colors (yellow, orange, lime
green) or soft, calming neutrals (bamboo beige, navy blues or greens
and cream).
When
you design or redecorate your day spa, avoid these colors and the
effects they have:
Red signals caution and alarm plus raises blood pressure.
Deep purples inspire creativity and thought when people should be
more meditative.
Pastel colors such as pink conjure youthful, party atmospheres.
Inspire
with Sound
Small
business owners often neglect sonic power in optimal
aesthetics. Take stock of your spa’s signature style
and message to its ideal customers, then play ambient sounds or
hypnotic music accordingly.
Stream
Latin jazz, soft classical or smooth techno playlists at the front
desk check-in area or via surround sound throughout the spa. Use
tabletop waterfalls and homeopathic noise machines in treatment
areas. These complete the sense people get that your spa is another
world they want to escape to.
As
you plot out a dazzling but peaceful aesthetic and sensory experience
for customers, keep core day spa practices part of your visual
strategy. Closets, storage spaces and equipment containers should be
discreet and blend seamlessly with the rooms. Constant housekeeping
should keep towels, paper waste and garbage to an imperceptible
minimum. Always coordinate your branding, online presence and company
signage to complement the visual tapestry customers will come to
discover inside your spa.

As a twentysomething guy, your
skin has more going for it than you might think. Sure, you might still be battling acne and dealing with acne scars, but look on
the bright side—your skin is still young and bounces back quickly from injury.
Not to mention that you probably
have zero wrinkles or fine lines at this age. See? It’s not all bad.
If you want to keep skin young and
healthy for years to come, there is no better time to establish a skin care
routine like the present. With that in mind, here is our best advice for
starting a skin care routine in your 20s.
Stop Using
Your Girlfriend’s Skin Care Products
Although it’s tempting to use your
girl’s face wash or moisturizer, there are several reasons why you’re much
better off getting your own skin care products. Let’s start with the obvious
reason: Her skin care products are made for her skin, not yours.
Men and women have several
differences in their skin that require unique approaches to skin care.
Generally speaking, guys have oilier skin and a thicker epidermis (the outer
layer of the skin), which requires potent ingredients that can penetrate through
their skin.
Another reason why you need your
own skin care products is so that you can form good skin care habits and get into
a regular routine. If you continue to use your girl’s skin care products,
you’ll never be consistent enough to make it a life-long habit.
Know Your
Skin Type
Before you can begin shopping for
skin care products, it’s important to know exactly what your skin needs. Is it
oily? Sensitive? Perhaps both?
While most guys in their 20s have
an oily skin type, it’s also not uncommon for them to struggle with sensitive
skin. In fact, a 2019 review published in
Frontiers in Medicine found that more than half of men report having
some degree of sensitive skin, such as itching, burning and redness.
Other skin types include dry,
normal and combination skin. Once you identify your skin type, you can begin
searching for skin care products that will best serve your skin care needs.
Pay Attention
to Product Labels
We know that reading the
ingredient labels sounds like a major bore. However, doing a little research
before you buy skin care products is important to choosing the right products
for your skin.
Guys with sensitive skin need to
pay extra-close attention to product labels to avoid negative skin reactions.
Ingredients such as fragrances, parabens, phthalates, sulfates and dyes have
been known to trigger skin reactions and cause flare-ups.
Fragrances in skin care are
particularly worrisome because their exact ingredients are considered trade secrets, which means that skin care companies don’t need to reveal what’s
in them. By doing your research, you can skip sketchy products that may cause
reactions and choose ones that do more for your skin.
Keep Your
Skin Care Routine Simple
Guys don’t need a nine-step skin
care routine like women do. If you’re having trouble sticking to your skin care
routine, there’s a good chance that it’s simply too complicated.
All you really need to protect and
nourish your skin are the four basics: Face wash, face scrub and two
moisturizers (one for the morning and one for bedtime). If you’re struggling
with acne, you may need to use an acne cream for men in lieu of
your regular moisturizer.
Stick to these basics—at least in
the beginning. Once you find a skin care routine that works, feel free to incorporate additional skin care products as you
see fit.
Don’t Skip
the Moisturizer
If your skin is oily and
acne-prone, it may seem counterintuitive to apply a moisturizer to your face.
However, you shouldn’t skip your daily moisturizer because this can make
breakouts worse by drying out your skin.
Instead, look for a moisturizer
that is non-comedogenic, meaning, it won’t clog pores. These moisturizers
typically contain lightweight yet hydrating oils such as Eucalyptus Oil or
Kukui Nut Oil.
To make things simple, use a men’s daily moisturizer with SPF that is formulated for all skin types. This way, you can get the
sun protection and moisturization your skin needs without causing nasty
breakouts.
Go Easy on
the Face Scrub
Contrary to what some skin care
companies might tell you, there is no good reason to scrub your face every day.
Although face scrubs are an effective tool in every guy’s skin care arsenal,
they’re meant to be used gently and no more than twice a week.
If you want to get rid of your
blackheads, you need to use both your face wash and scrub at the right frequency. Overdoing it on either product can dry out your face and cause
oil glands to go into overdrive to compensate, resulting in painful pimples.
Don’t forget to follow up your
face scrub and face wash with your moisturizer. This will lock in hydration and
prevent skin from becoming dry.
Be Mindful of
Your Shave Technique
Even though you’ve probably been
shaving since you were a teen, there is a good chance that your shave routine
could stand to be improved. We know of more than a few guys who use dull razor
blades, skip the pre-shave oil and commit various other cardinal sins of
shaving.
Nicks and cuts aren’t a good look
when you’re a twentysomething guy trying to impress his boss. To avoid the
embarrassment and improve skin health, always shave with the grain and avoid
shaving the same area over and over again during the same session.
Protect Your
Skin from UV Rays
As a younger guy, you probably
spend a fair amount of time outdoors for work or play. Applying daily sun
protection to your face and body is essential to reducing your risk of skin
cancer.
According to the Skin Cancer
Foundation, men account
for the vast majority of skin cancer cases,
including invasive melanoma. To reduce your risk, use a daily moisturizer with
SPF to your face and apply sunscreen on any sun-exposed areas of your body.
Keep in mind that UV rays can
penetrate through clouds and car windows. If your body isn’t covered by SPF
clothing, apply an ample amount of sunscreen and re-apply as needed.
Final
Thoughts
Unless you have a chronic skin
condition or underlying medical issue, taking care of your skin in your 20s
should be a simple endeavor. Follow this advice and you should be well on your
way to healthy skin in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.
Fiji is a beautiful island nation comprised of more than 300 islands, only two-thirds of which are inhabited. There are hotels on Fiji for all kinds of travelers, and those on the outer islands require taking an additional flight (perhaps a seaplane) or boat after arriving at Nadi airport. But there are a handful of luxury properties on Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu, and the Intercontinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is the most luxurious of them all, less than an hour’s drive from the airport.
Set on Natadola Bay, Viti Levu’s best swimming beach, the Intercon (as it’s fondly referred to) is positioned to offer the ultimate beach vacation — literally. Oceanfront rooms allow you to step out your door onto the beach, while up on the hillside, a private club awaits. Whatever your travel M.O., the Intercontinental delivers on world-class service in the friendliest, most Fijian of styles (singing is often involved).
Walking around the grounds — or taking the “Bula Bus” that continuously encircles the large property shuttling guests from their rooms to restaurants, the spa, or the beach — you’ll have your choice of multiple venues at which to spend your time. There’s an adults-only pool right on the beach (and a beach activity stand where you can book all watersports), a family pool across the way, and beachfront loungers right on the sand, all of which offer food and beverage service throughout the day. The club has its own dedicated pool that’s open until 5pm. At cocktail hour, it becomes the backdrop for live music.

(February 3rd, Brescia and New York)—the First 1000 Days of Wellness® (F1000 Days) is partnering with Wellness Education Hub, a specialized training organization that trains and equips spa and resort professionals with “elevated educational” offerings for their guests. The program focuses on early prevention of NCDs (chronic disease), through wellness practices; educating and empowering individuals and the general improvement of quality of life, thereby optimizing the conditions for mental and physical wellbeing for the future offspring, early childhood development and transgenerational genetic inheritance. The F1000 Days Spa and Resort Training Program will prepare massage therapists and estheticians to serve a very significant segment of the population – couples who are trying to get pregnant (preconception), during pregnancy or postpartum and then the first 2 years of life with baby. “The Science we have today on earliest human development allows and supports us to create a unique program for women and men – and eventually their babies – where we integrate all of the positive wellness actions – before conception, during pregnancy and during the critical first two years of life- that we know may prevent chronic diseases and build an optimal way to live and thrive -” commented Sergio Pecorelli, MD PhD, Creator, Co-Founder, and Chief Scientific Officer of the First 1000 Days of Wellness program. The mission of the program is to support women AND men during their reproductive years, before, during and after pregnancy into early childhood, to improve the health of the next TWO generations and PREVENT non-communicable diseases globally! Through hands-on training, online study and live lectures, the 24-hour F1000 Days training curriculum provides massage therapists and estheticians with the knowledge and techniques to safely, confidently and compassionately offer specialized massage and esthetic treatments to men and women. Students will learn the F1000 Days “4 Pillars of Wellness” together with expert knowledge of epigenetics and the human microbiome just to name a few specialized areas. Weighing in on current practices in the Wellness space, Co-Founder and leading holistic physical therapist, Patricia Ladis, PT, CBBA had this to say: “I have been treating both men and women in my practice in New York City for many years and working with the perinatal population. The First 1000 Days of Wellness® Program uses robust science and fills an important knowledge gap about what people, who are of childbearing years, need to know and do, to amplify their health and wellbeing before and after they get pregnant. We now know that this is key to understanding how to best navigate this time since there’s nothing else like our program out there.” The program’s extensive content includes some of this year’s Global Wellness Summit Trends (from the 2020 Report), including the Circadian Behaviors, Music, and Fertility. Joanne Berry, Founder of Wellness Education Hub says “we are extremely honored to have partnered with the F1000 Days of Wellness Team to offer this very elevated educational program for the spa and wellness industry. We hope to share this knowledge with many spas and wellness facilities so that they are able to then educate their guests on creating healthy generations for years to come.” “We are in the process of developing custom curriculum and modules that are specifically designed for spa and wellness professionals leading to new wellness programs that can be offered in spa and wellness facilities globally. Since we know that more than 50% of pregnancies, overall are not planned, the best approach is to always try and maintain a wellness lifestyle and the First 1000 Days provides just that” added Alina Hernandez, Co-Founder and Director, Development & Communications. One of the key areas of training will be the specialized F1000 Days Consultation for guests, as well as “take-home kits” that will facilitate a continuity of repeat visits for the spa. Spas that are trained by the F1000 Days Program are identified by the First 1000 Days of Wellness logo. All students will receive a certificate and pin so that they are easily identified as a F1000 Day Spa and Resort Program Provider.

Food is not always
about having what’s delicious but also accessing human wellbeing in innovative
styles through dishes. One such substance that has taken the culinarians by
storm of late is CBD. In recent surveys, Cannabis/CBD-infused food and drinks
have come up as the most sought after food and drinks item. So what’s the rage
all about?
CBD is the abbreviated
form of “cannabidiol.” CBD is derived majorly from Hemp, which is an
industrially cultivated strain of the Cannabis sativa species. The extraction
happens in a wholly organic manner, mostly for medical and industrial use.CBD
is one of the several cannabinoids present in Cannabis sativa. CBD that
originates from Hemp is not psychoactive (in simple terms, it won’t make you
high), and this is one of the causes behind its growing popularity.
Studies have shown that
Cannabinoids like CBD positively affect most of our digestive issues such as
Gastric Functions, Gastrointestinal Actions, Metabolism, Inflammatory Bowel
Diseases, and Gastrointestinal Motility and Secretion, among other things.
Hence, it is no wonder why CBD is dominating the menus of major eateries.
How can you apply CBD
to your food:
Before you get ready to put CBD in your dishes, you should be aware of some technicalities. Firstly, you need CBD extracted into a fat item for cooking purposes because CBD, a cannabinoid, is lipophilic, and it pairs perfectly with different fats. You can use CBD tinctures from online dispensary canada to begin your cooking spree. Here are some facts you should consider before adding CBD in your recipes:
Don’t let your CBD oil
or tincture come in direct contact with the heated pan, and keep the overall
cooking temperature low. Otherwise, the health benefits of CBD will be reduced.
Combine CBD oil with
another fat-based cooking oil. There are many oil-based fats that you can blend
with CBD oil, like olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil.
Understand the flavor
and aroma of your CBD oil before using it for cooking to avoid surprising
tastes from the dishes.
Now that we are aware of all the caveats, let’s have a look at the 6 best CBD infused recipes that you must try in 2020:
CBD Chocolate Chip Cookies:
It is one of the delicious food choices in the world, particularly when you make them stuffed with nutritional benefits. These CBD infused wafers are a great option when your tired body is yearning for carbs and calories following a hard workout.
To make these delicious cookies, you’ll need almond flour, coconut sugar or honey, almond butter, coconut flour, cinnamon powder, vanilla bean paste, eggs, dark chocolate chips, and baking soda.
CBD-infused fish tacos:
A fresh fish taco is the ideal summer evening meal. The dish is a popular restaurant choice that is sure to be a success at home. CBD-infused tacos are an excellent dinner option that gives excellent nutrition, an excess of flavor, and a potent dose of CBD.
To try this, you’ll require lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, cod, pepper, corn tortillas, mayonnaise, avocado, lime juice, purple cabbage, cilantro, and CBD tincture.
Mango Smoothie made from CBD:
Smoothies prepared from Cannabis are increasingly becoming popular. Still, the flavor will not satisfy everyone! CBD users sometimes like to brew up a sweet CBD drink. Drinks like CBD smoothies are a perfect fit for an early-morning intake of CBD. Try this delicious mango beverage filled with CBD for the daybreak starter. It takes little time to make a couple of drinks, and it boosts you for the whole day.
To get your smoothie, get your hands on mango, banana, milk or Hemp milk, yogurt, CBD tincture.
CBD Whipped Cream:
Not every edible CBD profile has to be a pure and heavy foodstuff. Drawing motivation from a cream recipe made of Cannabis, one can try a whipped cream made with CBD. This cream can be combined with any dessert or used as a topping for a sweet, smooth CBD twist. You’ll need cold cream for whipping, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and CBD tincture to prepare it.
CBD Parfait made from Hemp Milk:
A CBD milk plus honey parfait appears a bit distinctive from a normal parfait. But it is undoubtedly going to dazzle at a house party. There is also this preparation with CBD and hemp milk for people who strictly want to stick to Hemp! Just keep in mind that you should create this in advance because it should be kept in the freezer for a whole night.
You need to gather egg yolks, honey, caster sugar, hemp milk, CBD oil, mascarpone cheese, raspberries.
CBD Guacamole:
Guacamole is a simple to make recipe that is stuffed with nutrients. Avocados are already acknowledged for their heart-health and anti-inflammatory benefits. Avocados are rich in healthy fats too, which is ideal when cooking with CBD oil, as it is simply absorbed when joined with fats from an avocado.
It is evident that CBD
is gaining ground in people’s imagination, and this is getting reflected in the
cuisines. However, go slow upfront and taste some sample CBD recipes to know
how your system responds to it. Let 2020 be a great year for your health, and
what better way to start it than by absorbing a healthy substance like CBD!
