2 The QUEE NS Courier • bridal • september 22, 2016 for breaking news visit www.qns.com s bridal Repechage introduces new skincare treatment at Christie & Co. By Jill Davis Lydia Sarfati, founder and president of skincare company Sarkli- Repechage, introduced her latest line of products at a seminar held at Christie & Co. Salon in Bayside on Thursday, Sept. 15. The new facial treatments, called Fusion, are 100 percent organic and utilize natural ingredients including aloe vera, fruit, vanilla and chocolate to provide therapeutic creams and masks for all skin types. “Many current treatments actually accelerate the aging process, such as laser treatments,” Sarfati said. “I decided to create a treatment that’s anti-aging and that’s good for you.” Sarfati is the author of “Success at Your Fingertips: How to Succeed in the Skincare Business.” She will be launching her first at-home skincare line later this year. The Repechage line is made up of more than 150 different products and is available in over 40 countries worldwide. All products from Repechage, which means “second chance,” use a specific type of seaweed as their foundation ingredient. The seaweed is harvested off the coast of Maine and is processed in the company’s New Jersey-based plant. Christie & Co. hosts health and beauty seminars on a regular basis and is the exclusive purveyor of Repechage in the area. “ A t C h r i s t i e & Co., our goal is to teach p e o p l e about better wellness and lifestyle,” CEO Lois Christie said. “That’s what differentiates us from the department stores.” Christie & Co. is currently nominated for Best of the Boro in the categories of Best Hair Salon, Best Nail Salon, Best Skincare, Best Day Spa and Best Wedding Hair and Makeup. be a good guest By Tresa Erickson You arrive home from work, check the mailbox and what do you see? A wedding invitation. ItÕs been a while since you attended a wedding, and this is one event you do not want to miss. You know the couple well, and you canÕt wait to see them exchange vows. YouÕll need a gift, of course. Good thing they are registered. YouÕll also need something to wear. Here are some tips to ensure you dress appropriately for the occasion. Review the invitation and dress accordingly. If there is a dress code, make sure you follow it. Wear a hat or gloves if asked. If there is no dress code, study the invitation for clues. Formal invitations call for formalwear, whereas informal invitations may call for more casual wear. Whatever the tone of event, make sure you select nice, modest attire. You do not want to wear anything that will embarrass the bride and groom or take away from the joy of their day. Follow all wishes and traditions. If you know the bride would prefer to be the only one wearing white, then select a color other than white. If you know for certain that guests will be wearing hats, then wear a hat. Choose formal hats for formal weddings and informal hats or hairpieces for informal weddings, such as fascinators, headbands, hairclips, flowers and the like. Brush up on your hat etiquette. Generally, men should remove their hats upon entering the church, while women should remove their hats when the mother of the bride removes hers or when sitting down to eat at the reception. Women may wear hairpieces all day. Whether you select attire from your closet or a store rack, try on every piece and make sure it fits and works with the ensemble. This applies to overcoats as well. You do not want to arrive to the wedding in a suit and a ski coat, nor do you want to have to scramble for a new outfit on the day of the wedding. This is especially important with destination weddings. You donÕt want to be forced to purchase all new attire because you canÕt wear what you brought with you. Not only will you have to spend a lot, but you could miss part of the wedding shopping for new attire. Be a good guest. Dress for the occasion and the bride and groomÕs tastes. If the invitation requests guests wear a hat, then by all means do. If it requests guests dress for the beach, then do. Just make sure you wear something appropriate that will not detract from or offend the stars of the show: the bride and the groom. It is their big day after all.
