Kari & Jeannette from PeaceSpaProducts supported this years PonyUp Arlington Race Event to benefit Illinois Hotel Lodging Association Education Foundation. And thanks to Dale at Key Lime Cove for his generosity of time and dedication to this effort!
So many of us in attendance kept saying “we need to do this more often!” A group of us traveled down to see the horses before the race and see the impeccable grounds at Arlington, the grooming and care of the horses was amazing to behold! Not so sure it helped in our $2 bets, but we so enjoyed the racing, the connections to being outside at the beautiful Arlington Race Park, the people who attended, the lovely cocktails and the hat contest!!! I missed putting my hat on because I was still down in the paddock area looking at the horses and connecting with the handlers. Maybe next year!!!
It is so amazing to be active members of the Green Spa Network and we thank them for making the introduction into their network. Sundara Inn & Spa is also active and located in the beautiful Wisconsin Dells, the adult only retreat nestled in the woods, where all year long, a soak in their heated pool and pool side fireplace warms the body, mind and spirit. We thank Rick Duarte for inviting us to be part of their golf outing, featuring our product pool-side and enjoying an amazing get-away from the city! We are proud to be a part of the Dells community and look forward to many more opportunities to visit and we hope you will visit too.
This is where we go to energize OUR soul! Thanks to Sundara and all our clients who help support our missions at www.ECOChallenge2020.org through their purchases of Peace Spa Products! http://www.sundaraspa.com/
Walmart, saying it was inspired by first lady Michelle Obama’s campaign to fight childhood obesity, is stepping up to the plate, announcing on Thursday a five-year plan to lower salts, fats and sugars in thousands of its products, and dropping prices for healthy items.
They’re not really likely allies.
After all, the White House and corporate America have had a fairly contentious relationship during the first two years of the Obama administration. Not to mention that Walmart, the world’s largest retailer with billions in sales, doesn’t need to adjust the product it puts on its shelves. And that’s why the first lady’s “Let’s Move” campaign’s collaboration with Walmart to offer healthier food is so surprising.
Under the initiative, Walmart will make healthier food choices more affordable, develop seals for the front of packaging to make healthier food more identifiable, address food desert issues and increase support for nutrition programs.

Magazines Face & Body Show in San Jose July 17-18th where they focused their message on the LOHAS consumer (Lifestyle Of Health And Sustainability) and humanitarian efforts geared towards building transparency and committed new clients in your skin care spa.

Jeannette read the book Cultural Creatives back in 2000 and found in it a book that mirrored the way she hoped the world would be. With over 50,000,000 people on the planet, now at 63,000,000 who are driving their sales to balance what she calls the Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit) her company Peace Spa Products has launched to support the work she and her husband do for the world at www.peacespa.org, www.peacejourney.com and www.ecochallenge2020.org.

PEACE SPA OWNERS AND LONG TIME LEADERS IN LOHAS Present:
“Spa Client Acquisition Strategy in Today’s ECO Conscious World”
SPEAKING: Sunday & Monday June 6 & 7TH 9:30 to 10:45 a.m.
Premier Beauty & SPA Conference-Orange County Convention Center
(*LOHAS: Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability)
June 1, 2010: Jeannette Kravitz has been a leader in the LOHAS* movement for over 10 years. New estimates from the Natural Marketing Institute (NMI) show this segment contributing over $290 Billion in consumer purchases last year. LOHAS consumers don’t identify themselves this way or even know about this acronym. Instead, they lead by their socially conscious buying habits to help the world.
Jeannette and her husband Randy opened PEACE Spa Chicago & worked with aestheticians to develop PEACE Spa Products with a mission to give back. After four-years of in-lab and in-spa operations, the Kravitz’s launched PEACE Spa Products botanic-cosmecuetical line in March 2010 with a sincere dedication to business growth for spa owners and independent aestheticians. Their grass roots marketing and Peace Spa Product sales campaign is called 360 Marketing System™.
“Immediately I felt at home in the skin care business. I needed to figure out a way to grow it large enough to give back and help us expand our charity work. In 2008, we began the journey to create, define and refine our new Peace Spa Product line, débuting this month, to support our nonprofit work and attract the LOHAS market.” says Jeannette.
Why Skincare & Charity: 2010 marks Jeannette and Randy Kravitz’s 10-Year anniversary of giving back through the nonprofit they founded in 2000, sponsorKIDS Charities Peace Journey and “new” 10-year healthier kids advocacy campaign, ECOChallenge2020. In 2006, The Kravitzes sought out the skin care beauty industry. Jeannette felt drawn to the energy, compassion and sense of caring in the spa world. This largely female-focused industry of professional practitioners and owners care about making their clients feel and look their best. Jeannette saw this as the perfect business-match to raise money and awareness for her charitable efforts for kids.
Call to Action: Premier Spa Show & Beauty Conference at Orange County Convention Center, 9800 Universal Boulevard, Orlando Fl 32819. Peace Spa Products Booth is #2215. Stop by to experience our line & meet Randy & Jeannette! We welcome your call, email inquiries, and opportunities to get our message out!

In early February WE Magazine for Women ~ for busy women on the move, hosted an online competition to showcase a family-run business with a woman in a decision making capacity. The woman we chose among the entrants would then grace the Cover of our Spring 2010 Issue.
In retrospect, this was by far one of the most difficult tasks our team has had to date. According to one judge, “All the entries could easily be our next cover story. Each one was inspiring and interesting in its own way. Which made it that much more difficult to pick just one!” Although it was a challenging task, the judges rose to the occasion and chose one woman who stood out among all the others. That woman is Georgia Durante of PerformanceTwo.com
Criteria included business acumen, working well with family members, community service and life experiences. In addition to these qualities, Ms. Durante was chosen because her story was a particularly compelling story of challenges and success of working in a family-run business! Here’s an excerpt from her entry: “You have to separate family and business. Business is business. You need to treat family members as you would any other employee or it does not work. If you favor a family member over another employee you will have resentments causing your business to unravel.”
Ms. Durante’s story along with 12 other inspiring women’s stories will be featured in the Spring Issue.
In addition to our Front Cover Story, Polly Elmore of Curry’s Auto Service will grace the back cover. Each of the 13 finalists will receive a Commemorative Cover with their picture on it.
The Finalists include:
1st Place ~ Georgia Duarte of Performance Two ~ www.performancetwo.com

According to Heidi Richards Mooney, Publisher & Editor in Chief, “It is an honor to be able to share these fascinating stories with our readers. Each one more inspiring than the last. I only wish we had more room (and time) to include even more women in each of our four issues a year.” You can check out the current issue of WE Magazine for Women here.
