			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the Bride to Be.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve put countless time and effort into choosing the right dress, veil, flowers - but what&#8217;s the most important thing you&#8217;ll be wearing on your wedding day? Radiant skin!</p>
<p>Making sure your skin is beautiful for your big day takes some advance preparation. If you have 2-4 months before your wedding date, a series of monthly facials is just the ticket. Start with a facial analysis and a customized program of professional and at home treatments.</p>
<p>The deep cleaning, professional exfoliation, and customized masks in the professional facial give skin an inner glow. Your esthetician will suggest at home treatments and tips to clear up any problems and help you put your best face forward. Plus, facials are very relaxing…what bride-to-be couldn&#8217;t use some of that?<br />
Will you be wearing a backless dress? A back facial includes all the skin treatments usually reserved for your face, plus a 15 minute massage! And instead of hitting the tanning booth, have your esthetician give you a sugar scrub followed by a professional application of self-tanner. It&#8217;s a healthy alternative that leaves skin bronzed and hydrated.</p>
<p>Your skin is the most important thing you wear, on your wedding day and<br />
everyday. Take great care of it!</p>
<p>Exclusive offer to clients of Fun Factory DJ - $20 off a series of 3 facials. (normally $165; $145 to Fun Factory clients).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don’t know about you, but I love the internet. As time goes on, I do more and more online.</p>
<p>Taking a big leap forward, I have begun using an online DJ business administration software program.</p>
<p>This will allow me to set up emails that will automatically be sent to keep my clients more informed, and best of all, it allows you to login and view your account info and administer most of the information on your own.</p>
<p>I have entered all of the upcoming events into the program and tried to enter as much as I can with what I have.</p>
<p>From there, you can login to your account (see enclosed sheet) and review info, make payments, fill out planners and timelines and make changes to times and addresses.</p>
<p>For those who have used the previous planning program and have created music lists and planning forms, rest assured that those are still there and I will keep that account going until all current lists have passed.</p>
<p>As I expand and update, the system will auto email I will also be using this system to send reminders, newsletters and updates, all via email.</p>
<p>When ready, you will be able to do your planning, timelines, music lists and more all from your account so stay tuned.</p>

<p>The Candy Bar is a simple idea.<br />
Have a table set-aside that will be covered in various candy treats.</p>
<p>The first time I saw this, the couple had large bulk candy jars like you would find in a store (like a big cookie jar with an off-set opening and a chrome lid). In each jar something different. M&amp;Ms, Skittles, dinner mints, peppermint patties, Whoppers and more. There were small scoops that you could scoop the candy out and put into red and white check paper trays.</p>
<p>The second time I saw the candy bar, there were large bowls and jumbo martini glasses with various wrapped candy (individually wrapped mini candy bars, tootsie rolls and so on). A neat addition was chinese takeout style containers that you could fill up and take back to the table.</p>
