New Pets Section Added to Beauty Guide with Paws & Mittens as First Addition

/




New to A Little Beacon Blog's Beauty Guide is a Pets section! Doggies and kitties are always happier with clean fur and clipped nails. If they don't get to run around outside a lot, those nails don't have as much opportunity to get filed down.

Paws and Mittens, located at 186 Main Street near the Beacon Barkery, is under new ownership, and is now grooming cats again, as well as dogs. Pay no attention to the current website, which last mentioned an April vacation - hey...websites can be intimidating to update! - instead, stick with the Facebook page of Paws and Mittens, especially if you want to see cute photos of fluffy dogs.

New to the Beauty Guide: Makeup Counters!

/


This just in to A Little Beacon Blog's Beacon Beauty Guide: a Makeup section! Because did you know that you can buy the shade of lipstick that you needed from three different shops on Main Street? There went one less reason to go to the mall! Click here for the full descriptions with addresses and phone numbers, but know this:  The Blushery offers makeup consultations and sells a variety of types of makeup from shadows to lipstick.  Beacon Natural Market has a full makeup counter that carries several lines of natural makeups and even nail polish, right next to their wall of vitamins. Giannetta Salon & Spa just around the corner from Main Street on 9D designs their own line of makeup for each season. So you are covered any which way!

And did you know that Hudson Valley Fitness rebranded to be called HVF Training Camp, and offers dedicated training camps each month? The Beauty Guide includes gym/fitness memberships in Beacon, and Gift Certificate ideas for anyone on your list.
