Gary Federico, president of Sacramento based beauty school, Federico Beauty Institute, will be honored today at the Clean Air Awards Luncheon at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento, hosted by Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails. The annual event coincides with May as Clean Air Month and recognizes how people, businesses, organizations and government agencies can take action to improve air quality.

Sacramento, CA (PRWeb) May 7, 2008 — The beauty of improving air quality is that every person, and every business, can make an effective difference. Gary Federico understands that and is the 2008 Business Clean Air Champion for maximizing energy efficiency at the Federico Beauty Institute.

Gary Federico, president of Sacramento based beauty school, Federico Beauty Institute, will be honored today at the Clean Air Awards Luncheon at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento, hosted by Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails. The annual event coincides with May as Clean Air Month and recognizes how people, businesses, organizations and government agencies can take action to improve air quality.

With air quality in the Sacramento area among the nation’s worst, it is the one environmental issue affecting every single resident in the region. That also means that the solution depends on everyone doing their part to reduce air pollution.

Federico partnered with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to install a photovoltaic carport system and implemented a full recycle program for paper and plastics. Lighting has been changed to energy-efficient Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) and occupancy sensors have been installed to eliminate energy waste. The heating and air conditioning system is also managed by a control system to ensure optimum efficiency.

Federico Beauty Institute’s use of solar power will reduce CO2 emissions by 165,643 pounds, or remove the equivalent of about 14 passenger cars from the roadways every year.

“The Sacramento community benefits when a business such as the Federico Beauty Institute sets an example by buying and promoting technology that produces clean energy and reduces energy usage,” said Michelle Seeberger, of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.

“Federico’s winning the award proves that the size of a business has nothing to do with its ability to take effective action toward cleaning our air,” said Kori Titus, spokeswoman for Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails.

“Gary Federico proves that small businesses could make a huge difference if enough owners act in unison to save our environment and spare our air,” Titus said.

The Federico Beauty Institute is among six Clean Air Champions honored by Breathe California May 7.

How do you know which treatments are worth the expense and which beauty treatments you should choose if you have never been to beauty salon in the past? This informational piece on beauty salons provides practical information to allow you to make the right choice and be in front economically.

One of the most popular beauty treatments offered at beauty salons these days is aromatherapy massage.

Facial treatments are quite cost effective and are an ideal for the first time beauty salon user. Ask your beautician when in the beauty salon which facial will give you the most benefit, as the beautician will base the facial treatment on an in depth skin analysis.

Another commonly used treatment at beauty salons is the manicure or pedicure process. Manicures and pedicures are cost effective and long lasting and you will see your nails often and have many of your friends and family commenting on which beauty salon you had your manicure or pedicure treatment.

Quality beauty salons will be salons that are recommended by your friends and local magazines. They are generally located in the nicer parts of town, often near a shopping center.

Decorating has always been a part of my life. My mother’s subscription to Better Homes and Gardens rarely made it to her hands before mine. Especially during the summer months, when school didn’t impede my camping out on our front steps until the mail carrier arrived, I relished each issue and all the magical ways it offered to imagine and manifest lovely, comfortable spaces. Even then, decorating for me was synonymous with inspired living. Creating a beautiful environment equaled shaping a room or a house into my own world, even if that world existed only in my own mind.

Today is no different, except that the subscription to BH and G is now in my name.

Memories of pouring over pages and pages of rooms filled with pretty fabrics, finely-crafted furniture and fresh flowers positioned just so on a fireplace mantle motivated me to rearrange my bedroom this past weekend. Ever since I moved in last summer I had pondered the next steps of how I would translate the room into its most wonderful state of being. Standing back and surveying part of my kingdom satisfies me immensely. Watching it unfold as I drag the furniture around the room, reposition prints and mirrors to align with the new arrangement and shift the accessories to new locations, dusting and vacuuming as I go, is about bringing out the best that each piece has to offer in relationship to all the others with which it is associated. Sometimes that means moving an object to another room or giving it away so someone else can enjoy it. While I am still about creating my own world it no longer exists only in my head, and I am very clear that I am about achieving harmony, balance and peace with whatever resources I have at my disposal.

I tend not to look at objects as only being beautiful unto themselves, but also in how they can be utilized in everyday living. My favorite things are those that create beauty in their practicality. Baskets that hang on the wall in my living room transform themselves into serving trays and Christmas ornament displays. Teapots on bookshelves can be plucked from their perches and placed on the table ready for brewing. Pillows resting on chairs and sofas provide visual texture and interest, but also feel really good against a tired back or under a weary, nap-ready head.

So it isn’t about the dollar value of what I possess, but about the extravagant application of my creativity that means much more to me. I feel wealthy after I complete such an adventure, standing back to again survey my kingdom, knowing that inspiration is truly a God-given gift that can be applied anywhere we see fit to make the world a better place.

My next door neighbor knows inspiration is a gift in her work as an occupational therapist. Her job is to help people reclaim their bodies after such devastating occurrences as strokes and accidents. Even being able to help someone relearn how to move a finger makes her day. To achieve these goals she employs all the tools available to her: her education, training, dedication and most importantly, her faith. She talks about how her soul resonates with the souls of the people with whom she works. That resonance, God’s spirit communicating between them, is what guides her to help her patients draw on their own strength to heal. Although not in her job description, she styled a patient’s hair last week, giving the woman a whole new outlook on herself and the world. Three extra minutes of my neighbor’s time made her patient feel beautiful again. From that moment of delight came a movement forward in her therapy on which she continues to build each day.

My guess is that home decor and occupational therapy are not linked in your mind as equal avenues to creating a better world. Perhaps you had an inkling that I had waded into the shallow end of the theological pool talking about decorating as a spiritual experience. Maybe you are not aware that whenever God’s spirit is made tangible there is beauty to behold if you are willing to see it.

Jesus was certainly not above enjoying the beauty surrounding him or using beauty as a tool to expand people’s understanding of where and how God resided in their world. He encouraged those willing to hear to let go of their anxiety and to, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow’; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these (Matthew 28-29).” From that observation I can only surmise that Jesus used beauty as a practical teaching tool and also saw beauty in people’s souls. It is poetic to look beyond what others see and feel the depth of truth that lies within living beings, whether they be flowers, animals or women, children and men.

Have you ever wondered who you would have chosen as your disciples if you were in Jesus’ place? It’s endlessly fascinating to me how clearly Jesus could see through to the core of who he selected as his closest allies. He didn’t choose these people based on standard hiring guidelines but on how their characters and gifts resonated with the work that needed to be done in that time and place. He chose them for the truth, the beauty of who they were and how they would apply themselves to the simple and complex practicalities of what was and what was to come. Whatever mistakes they made along the way, their one decision to follow Jesus set them on a path that would bring forth everything they had to offer.

We are no different, called as we are to give the best, the most beautiful parts of ourselves to whatever purpose we are here to serve. Beauty is often pushed aside in favor of the harsh realities of living that overwhelm us, even on our best days. But God did not separate out the beautiful from the practical in the process of creation, and God never told us to separate out the beautiful from the practical in our own process of creation. If either were true the sky would not provide such endless supplies of clouds and stars, and there would surely be no graceful variety in architecture or food. Homes could all look the same and food could be food. We would be housed and fed just the same.

Making the world a better place, a more beautiful place, is about perspective and action. There is great beauty in the truth of living because everything we create comes from God from whom all blessings flow. How that is made real, welcomed into the vast creation in which we live, is as individual as we are. How all that energy and abundance works together is how God continues to work among us engendering harmony, balance and peace as both simple and ample grace. We dance together as God’s people, each giving to and receiving from one another all the gifts God has given us. Beautiful and practical, just like God.

However, everyone can make their appearance attractive and keep it that way for decades, if they listen to Ayurveda, eat the right kind of food, exercise (yoga) daily, and nurture their skin, hair, eyes, lips, foot, hands, mouth, teeth, etc with the recommended herbs.

Ayurveda never approves wearing makeup of any kind. Make-ups do not show real beauty. They are just a mask. However, Ayurveda recommends variety of cosmetics – henna, shoe flower (hibiscus), turmeric, sandalwood paste, aloe vera, etc.

Ayurveda recommends daily abhayanga (oil massage before bath), applying oil on your hair, practicing yoga, applying mascara (not the synthetic type), etc.

Beauty care massages are also recommended. Women can achieve glowing hair by applying certain types of herbal pastes, specially suited for their body or skin types. The herbal pastes can be a mixture or a sole herb – kasthoori manjal (Curcuma aromatica), mailanchi (henna, Lawsonia inermis), hibiscus, aloe vera, etc. Hair oil can have henna, hibiscus, kayyonni (eclipta alba), etc.

Another significantly important part about Ayurvedic beauty care if modifying lifestyle, eating habits and working habits according to dinacharya (daily routines) and rithu charya (seasonal routines) according to Ayurvedic recommendations. The general directions include sleeping at a fixed time, waking up early before sunrise, eating vegetarian food, avoiding fat, leading an active lifestyle, etc.

A happy face is a beautiful face. No amount of makeup can hide your worries, doubts and insecurities. It is always essential that you maintain a positive outlook to your life. This has positive effects on your health and your beauty.

Look at the famous women who maintain their youthful beauty, even into their sixties. Not every woman will be able to achieve that fete.
