As I'm writing this on May Day, we are getting a lovely (huh?) dump of snow. It has been pretty dry lately, so I'm reminding myself that the earth needs moisture to prepare for the gorgeous mountain wildflowers that are coming soon.

May also brings the lovely celebration of Mother's Day. As many of you know, my mother's passing was the epiphany that I needed to open TallGrass 13 years ago. Several of my friends have lost their mothers recently, and my heart goes out to them. Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to wish your own mother, wife, sister or friend a Happy Mother's Day this year. She deserves all the attention, recognition and love you can give!

She took care of you, now it's your turn to take care of her.

A Mother's Day Gift Certificate from TallGrass is a loving gift of nurture. And nature, too! This time of year, there are herds of deer grazing in our valley, all along the creek and on our lawns, too. Right here at TallGrass - in our beautiful mountain setting, with majestic peaks, clear air, breezes that whisper through the pines and graceful creatures grazing in the meadow - your Mother can relax and replenish.

You can customize and print her gift certificate instantly on our web site at TallGrassSpa.com where there is a choice of beautiful Mother's Day designs or versions that children and grandchildren can color and give. Or, if you like, call us at 303-670-4444 and we'll mail her a beautifully wrapped gift card, just time for Mother's Day.

Clinically Proven to Perform in Four Weeks

Stressors like ultraviolet radiation, smoke, pollution and humidity changes create free-radicals which attack your skin. These stressors are the sparks that cause destructive chain reactions resulting in premature signs of aging - loss of firmness, lines and wrinkles, and loss of vitality and radiance.

Aveda addresses the signs of premature aging with its new Green Science product line, a four-step skin care system for all skin types which is clinically proven to perform in just four weeks.

The Green Science collection of Lifting Serum, Firming Face Creme, Firming Eye Creme and Line Minimizer uses the power of plants to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leave skin noticeably firmer. When used together, morning and night, they help give skin a more lifted appearance within weeks, by boosting natural collagen production and stimulating natural surface cell renewal.
