Sensational Days Salon and Spa, a complete beauty treatment facility, welcomes licensed esthetician Debra LaRosa to the staff.

Besides offering traditional skin services such as facials, body waxing, and body treatments, LaRosa has several specialty areas.

Certified in microdermabrasion, her specialties of age management and acne treatments will incorporate use of machine and light therapy, along with an appropriate skin care program. Using her roots as a college art major, she also will specialize in customized makeup artistry and application.

Along with this, LaRosa’s more than 20 years of experience with several cosmetic companies will be put to good use. Her goal is to help women move beyond intimidation or stagnation with makeup by learning how to best accentuate their features.

To further train in this area of makeup application, LaRosa participated this past spring in a hands-on class under the guidance of a professional makeup artist, whose work included models, actresses, and magazine cover models.

Whether it be through traditional skin care services, customized skin-care needs, individualized makeup application, or through a consultation visit, LaRosa looks forward to being of service.

Sensational Days Salon and Spa is located in the Peachtree area of Cherokee County at 3904 US 64 East, Suite 11, Murphy, NC 28906, across from Peachtree Athletic and Rehabilitation Center.

Butterfly Life, a women’s fitness club, opened at 3000 US Hwy 64 West, Suite 118, in Lakeside Plaza.

The new club is designed for women who are interested in attaining simple, achievable results in a nurturing, non-threatening environment.

Members will enjoy the club’s innovative approach to providing “Healthy Living Solutions for Women,” which encompass everything from fitness, health, and nutrition to beauty, fashion, and psychology, all under one roof.

“The Butterfly Life concept of developing an integrated approach to women’s fitness, weight loss, and healthy living, was created by a team of pioneers boasting more than a century of industry experience,” club owners Annette Downer and Karie Clayton said. “Butterfly Life understands that weight loss is only one component of a healthy life, so that’s why the program was developed with an integrated, 360-degree approach to accommodating all components of women’s fitness and health.”

The club is equipped with an exclusive 15-station, strength- and cardio-training circuit that has been custom designed and is fully adjustable to meet the needs of women at all levels.

In 30 minutes, members complete a well-balanced circuit that works the entire body efficiently and effectively, the owners said.

Butterfly Life membership rates are competitive in the industry with other women’s programs.
