March 2018 newsletter and update





Greetings dear Friends,

Welcome to the month of March! Isn't it amazing how time flies when you take moment to reflect on what happened and what is to come? I have recently been working through one of my favorite books "A New Earth" by Eckhard Tolle. 

He reminded me about the power of now, and our relationship to the present moment, and I would like to share some of this insight with you in my own words;

He mentioned that your attitude and energy towards the present moment can be in three different stances... you are either treating the present moment as an means to an end... which is to say that you aren't really present... you are rushing forward, trying to get to a future point where you perceive happiness or fulfilment to be... thus missing what the present moment is giving you, and unfortunately always reaching towards an unfulfilling emptyness, because all we ever have is the present moment...

Or you are treating the present moment as the enemy... you perceive it as hostile. You are unable to accept the present moment for what it is, because in your mind it should be different, look different or feel different. Your energy is frustrated and resentful, and you feel like life is against you, and all you remember is past experiences which reinforces your belief that the present moment is the enemy... if only you could go back to how things where, or if things could only be like I whish them to be, rather than how it is now! These thoughts than can indicate that you are not accepting the present, but rather than you are resisting the present moment.



When we are truly present in our lives, there is no struggle. We are not pushing or pulling the energy to be different to what it is. There is acceptance and flow. We perceive all possibilities available to us, and we are able to create and experience a powerful experience by being aware and fully present in the now. In this state of stillness and surrender, you experience being one with all that is, and we experience a peace and clarity that surpasses our understanding. This of course takes practice and awareness is the key... 

So what is your relationship with the present moment? Ask yourself what it is you are experiencing now. Is there tention, frustration or restlesness in your energy? This is a sure indication that you are not fully present. When you discover that you are not present, be kind to yourself! Don't judge! Simply take three deep breaths, and choose to become present. Allow any resistance to flow out of you and accept what is. When we allow without resistance the present moment to flow through us, we are again able to achieve more and also to experience more of what life has to offer.

It is my wish for you all to be more present this March and to enjoy the sweetness of life as we enjoy the last month of late summer!



I am excited to share with you my website that is now my official landing page, where all my services, musings and art comes together in one beautiful space. I want to say a huge thank you to Sharon for helping me too create this webpage which will go a long way towards helping me to grow further this year in my business .

Then I would like to share some of my latest art I have recently completed... first it's my new Hummingbird, featured at the top of this blog, and then I have also completed my Koi painting. It is my largest canvas to date, 1,86m x 65cm! It was quite a challenge to work on and very fulfilling to complete!  

In case you are wondering, I do offer painting made easy classes, and or I accept commissions! Let me know if you are interested to have me create something special for your space, or if you are interested in purchasing any of my art... watch this space as I am working towards creating my own Itsy account page to sell my art! I am also planning an exhibition later this year!

Please send me a WhatsApp voice note or message to book your space now, as my appointment book is filling up fast! See my contact details at the end of this blog!

Then some exciting news! There is no price increase on my price list... in fact I have made a 35% price reduction on all my services... so even my clients that see me over weekends will be happy to see that they pay less! 



Here are some of my recent make-overs that I was able to capture some nice photos of!

Did you receive my whatsapp communication with regards to my BRING A FRIEND offer? Who wouldnt want to get 50%  discount on their make-over bill? Here is the updated information I am now sharing on my social media platforms... feel free to share this with your family and friends! Lets make 2018 the year to save big bucks together!




Are you ready to save big money and get great hair? Then read this! Here is a deal you can't ignore!

Introduce yourself as a *NEW CLIENT to GIDEONSLIGHT HAIR, ART & SOUL... *BRING A FRIEND along and both of you will receive 50% DISCOUNT on your hairdressing bill!

Make 2018 the year you get the best hair style and save money!

Here is your chance to do a full make-over on your hair and be assured to get 50% discount on any *ordinary priced hair service, and all you have to do is bring a friend that also will have their hair coloured, who will also receive the same discount!

I use an organic environmentally conscious product that is loved by thousands of celebrities and used by millions of people that is aware of their own carbon footprint. Check out the hair colour that is a revolution in the beauty industry here:
Davines

So what about after the initial savings? How do you maintain your new look without breaking the bank?

So it is a win win for everybody! You can check the deal out on my Facebook page here: Facebook

My ordinary price list has also been reduced with a whopping 35%! Why? Because the world around you is about to get even more expensive! VAT is going up... personal care sector is about to become a luxury that many cannot afford. Where the market is increasing to cope with inflation, I see an opportunity to keep my chair full and everybody saving a buck.

So why wait? I have over 30 years experience in hairdressing and I have worked for reputable international brands. Check out my career on my website here: Gideonslight webpage

What about my salon? Where is it located and what does it look like? Well, you are in for a treat. Check out Salon Allure here: Salon Allure Facebook



So here are the terms and conditions to qualify for the "Bring a friend deal":
👉You and your friend must make a booking for a FULL COLOUR SERVICE at ordinary hair prices on the same day or...
👉 If you can't have your hair done on the same day... both your appointments needs to be in the same week and a deposit if R500 each needs to be made in advance to ensure you both will show.
👉You need to let me know your friends details so that I am informed who refered who to me. Make sure your friend tells me she is booking for the "Bring a Friend Deal" when they book!
👉You can refer as many friends or family to me as you want... but each 50% discount can only be utilised once per visit. If more than one friend comes within one month, all your 50% discount points will be recorded for future appointments.
👉Your friend will also receive a single once off 50% discount on her colour service, unless she also brings me a new client, after which the rule above will also be effective.
👉ALL REGULAR T'S & C'S ALSO APPLY!

I hope that you are as excited about saving money as I am this year! Think of all the extra self spoiling you could do with the money you can save this way! So, get your friends and family together... and encourage them to support you, me, and themselves in this way! What have they got to loose? A deal like this doesn't come around every day!
