A Trio of Tales

Don Daily's Gifts of Christmas
A Trio of Christmas Tales


Instead of telling the tired tales of Grandpa Joe, Aunt Millie and the drama at the dinner table, this year, why not stick to the classics?

Gifts of Christmas is a hard-cover collection of three traditional holiday stories:  The Nutcracker, The Twelve Days of Christmas and The Velveteen Rabbit.  Beautifully illustrated  with watercolor images by renowned artist Don Daily, the images that accompany this trio of stories may become more memorable than the images that accompany your own.

Studio Spa Opens at Jeffre Scott Apothecary in Myers Park

Short on time plus short on money typically equals long on stress, but that doesn't mean that personal pampering can't be a part of the equation.

At Jeffre Scott Apothecary's new studio spa in Myers Park, you can enjoy a facial that is economical, efficient and ever so relaxing.

Known for the quality cosmetic and skin care lines sold at his eponymous boutique, Jeffre Scott created the studio spa to provide an environment in which clients could enjoy the benefits of a facial at an affordable price as well as sample a variety of skin care products before committing themselves to an entire product line.

I wanted to give people the opportunity to experience something new at a price which would allow them to treat themselves on a regular basis, says Jeffre.

Priced between $40 and $65 and lasting 30 or 45 minutes, these facial treatments are perfect for those living with both budgeted time and budgeted funds.

What sets the studio spa apart from its full-service counterparts is its simplicity.  Absent are the fluffy robes and flip flops.  What are left are all the essentials of creating a truly therapeutic and rejuvenating facial experience.  Situated behind antiqued mirrored doors, this mini-oasis consists of a body contouring chair, candle-scented air, soft music and a highly-skilled and knowledgeable aesthetician.

Mario Badescu ProductsEach of the four facial packages available are centered around the store's signature skin care products and can be customized to address the needs of each individual's skin type.  

The Upper East Side
 Facial features Mario Badescu products and is designed to provide a quick pick-me-up for those who need a little relaxation, but are short on time.

The Grecian
 Facial features Korres products and focuses on providing hydration and antioxidant protection for the skin by using honey and almond based products.

The Royal Facial features Duchess Marden products which are enriched with Vitamin C and enhanced with the scent of roses.  This facial will not only stimulate the skin, but stimulate the senses. 

 The Ultra 4 Facial features Dr. Lewinn's products and is for those whose skin is in need of a little extra TLC. 

In addition to facial treatments, Jeffre Scott Apothecary also offers other personal maintenance services which include conditioning lip and eye treatments, which can be incorporated into any facial treatment, as well as brow shaping and make-up application.

My hope, says Jeffre, is that people can find 30 minutes out of 30 days to sit and relax and bring energy back to themselves.
