Beauty To All This Holiday Season

I am in the beauty business as they say. I have been for over 27 years now. What is beauty? Beauty is an intangible and is perceived many ways by all. Beauty to me is an attitude of joy and love. It is grace in any circumstance. It is an understanding of gratitude. Underlying all challenges are messages that lead to answers. If we can open our eyes and heart we will have appreciation for the circumstances. What stricks me most about the "Holidays" is that people seem to naturally exude these "beautiful" attitudes of beauty. Love and light as they say. What do we see all around us? Lights everywhere. The season glows. That is what beauty is. It glows. It is an attitude. Have you ever been attracted to a person who is not conventionaly beautiful but glows? Their inner beauty is what is attracting you. The Lords Prayer says "love thy neighbor as thy self". It is often harder to love ourselves. But, if we do not love ourselves we can not love another. The word of God says "Jesus came to give us love and love more abundantly". He was the personification of true beauty. He was and is love. During this holiday season I send love and beauty to all. Remember it takes more muscles to frown then smile. A smile is an anti-aging tip! Be blessed. Megan

BECOME A NOVITA SPA AFFILIATE SPA!!!

We have taken the show back on the road!! After 5 years of building The Novita Spa on the Square in Georgetown, Tx. we are now making our success tools available to all. October 3-4 we did the Premiere Beauty Show in Columbus, Ohio and October 17-18 we did the Premiere Show in Birmingham, Alabama. Many spas and esteticians came to join us for our classes. They remembered our unique designer Para Medical Alpha-Beta Peel and our Pre-Conditioning Facial Program. In this fragile economy salons and spas need produts that perform and services that maximize the results that the client is expecting. Mistakes can't be made spending too much on product lines that are too costly and do not perform. Novita Clinicals our simple, safe and synergistic system of pharmacutical grade facial and body care products and services for all skin types and skin color tones and now our newly launched Verita Mineral Cosmetics, creates Global Beauty....Naturally. First Texas, now the world! The Novita philosophy of Clinical Excellence with a Special Pampering Attitude (SPA) is applicable anywhere in the world. It Simply Works! Contact us at 888-738-0701 for details. Blessings, Megan

Happy Labor Day!

The holiday Labor Day has never made sense to me since we should have the day off and not be laboring. Shouldn't it be called Non Labor Day! Regurardless, it says more then anything that it is the end of summer. Here in Texas it means thank God the 100 degree heat is almost behind us. Yea!! Thursday night it started to rain and Friday AM as well. With the rain it brought cooler weather. For awhile I hope anyway. Just because its cooler doesn't mean you don't need to use sunscreen daily. On the contrary, it is the most important ingredient for anti-aging and just plain protection. We are super excited to be launching our "NEW" SUPER SUNSCREEN LINE THAT HAPPENS TO BE called MAKEUP. Verita (meaning truth) Mineral Cosmetics the Finishing Essentials for Novita Clinicals. The reason I say sunscreen is that our products are SPF 26 and the finishing powders are SPF 30. How fab is that and for everyone.We say it is for everyone from 8-108 who have SKIN!!. That means YOU. No matter of skin type, color, age and gender. These minerals are "pure" with no talc, fillers and binders. Paraben Free too. Totally Organic. They are water resistant and anti-inflamitory. We have a great mineral powder brush that is so easy to use. Handy enough for golf bags and briefcases. Don't leave home without it. We have created foundation colors for all skin tones. We call this Global Beauty ...Naturally. More to come. Have a great day off on Labor Day if you are lucky enough to not be laboring! Blessings, Megan

Some Like It Hot But Not This Hot!

It's the end of August and it has been over 100 degrees for too long now. We are all wilting. Today was the first day of school. I'm sure the kids would have rather been in a pool then carrying a back pack. We have a love hate relationship with the sun. Without it we can not exist but too much sun causes pre-mature aging and possibly skin cancer. People tend not too want to wear an SPF especially in heat like this. Most sunscreens tend to be heavy and when you perspire the residue seeps into the eyes and stings. Going without though should not be an option. We are all looking for the magic Anti-Aging skin care product but actually the most effective Anti-Aging product is sun protection. There are two sun protection ingredient categories, chemical and physical. Many people are allergic to various chemical sun screen ingreedients. There are two very efffective and healthy for your skin physical ingredients. Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. These ingredients are water resistant (important for living in Texas) and anti-inflamitory (very effective for acne and rosacea treatment). They are truly organic. These are the ingredients that make up "Pure Mineral" Makeup. That is why I am such a strong proponent of Mineral Make-up. But, like in everything, nothing is created equal. What sets products apart are the quality of ingredients, science and research, and how products are manufactured. We at Novita Clinicals have been working with R&D on Mineral Make-up for years now and are about to launch our brand Verita Mineral Cosmetics. More to come on it. But, it is good skin care for all skin types and genders. Yes! Men amd children can use it too. Don't leave home without it. True Anti-Aging skin care with SPF protection. Keep Cool. Blessings, Megan

Happy Birthday to Me!

For all the Baby Boomers born in 1950, Happy Birthday! Yesterday was my 60th "B" Day. That number is pretty daunting and exciting all at the same time. Experience is the greatest teacher. For example, I'm sure you've noticed that Mid Century (as its called) interior design is the rage. We've been here since Mid-Century and have not only seen it but lived it. From the first time around of the mini skit to bell bottoms. We can pull from the best of what was and improve on it. When the baby boomer started turning 40 in the late 80's- early 90's skin care R&D really started to ramp up. It's supply and demand. I have been in the fashion/beauty industries all of my career and have lived the evolution-revolution first hand. My early career was in the Fashion Merchandising world first at Lord & Taylor then Bloomingdales. I worked with Biba Cosmetics from London that Bloomingdales took on in the early 70's. I was trained by there make-up artists. At that point is when I said someday I'm going to create my own line of skin care-cosmetics. Bloomingdales did something not done before and put the Biba Cosmetic counter in the Junior Department. The Baby Boomer were in their 20's at that time and were driving this. Creative, unique marketing was off and running. Back to the Baby Boomer. We have been the pulse of large cosmetic companies ever since. As I said earlier in the late 80's as the Baby Boomer was now turning 40 (middle age) we were looking for products that made a difference. Anti-Aging R&D was was born. Creating ingredients that really did something to the skin. That really made a difference. Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acids were put into skin care products and exfoliation is now a known concept to maintaining the health of the skin. In 1992 I launched Glycolique a pioneer in Result Oriented Skin Care. A term I started using back in the 90's. to me its not Anti but being the best we can be both inside and out. Happy Birthday to all!!

There is always Hope and Possibilities!

I said I'd speak to you next Sunday but the last two weeks have been very difficult. I am sorry it has taken this long to get back. But, the love of my life, my husband Paul Tyler, has been struggling with Dementia. It is heart breaking but I am so blessed to have Paul in my life. Ever so short since we have only been married 4 years this coming December. He has been the most loving and supportive person to me that I have ever experienced. He believes in me and The Novita Clinical Products and The Novita Spa on the Square. He is my partner in life and business. He was an engineer in the Auto Industry. If you have ever owned a Ford Mustang you can thank Paul! He designed the door!! We have been speaking of miss-information in cosmetics and skin care products. Why is the Mustang still around and loved? It's because of quality of design and integrity of that product. Also, because it has filled a niche. Its a sporty car with style without being too expensive. There are no two products created the same. In skin care what sets products apart is quality of ingredients, science and research, and how it is put together (the formula). We at Novita Clinicals use Pharmacutical Grade ingredients, European Cold Pressed Botanticals, and the most integrity bound Anti-Oxidants. It is also in understanding the skin and knowing what ingredients work for different needs of the skin. So many companies take an ingredient story and create a product. Therefore, saying you need many, many, products to make a difference. I created my first system in 1992 with Glycolique. It was the first three step system in the market.Everyone from 8-108 years old that has skin needs to care for their skin. This includes pre-teens, men, women and everyone in between. We all need to have our skin cleansed, exfoliated, hydrated and protected. In 1997 I re-engineered Glycolique and launched Novita Spa Products. There had been dramatic Anti-Oxidant ingredient development during the 90's. My goal is to develop products that are safe, but that simply work! I had to capture all of that science but create another synergistic system that is Inspired by Nature, Developed by Science and Proven by Results since 1992! In honor of Paul I will continue on with our plans for Novita Clinicals and The Novita Spa on the Square. With God there is always Hope and Infinite Possibilities. God Bless You.

Where we are today at The Novita Spa on the Square and The Novita Clinical Products

Happy Sunday! I hope you had a renewing day. I think of the word renewal and it really is what we are all about at the Novita Spa. To be renewed you need to have an experience that feeds you and you feel and see a difference in your life. To be renewed at a spa, what does that really mean? Many people really don't know what a Spa really is. Many years ago I was conducting a training class for our field educators that worked for our Co. and we decided that the definition of the word Spa was a Special Pampering Attitude. SPA. Because we are a clinical product co. we said OUR definition is "Clinical Excellence with a Special Pampering Attitude". Meaning, that our products and services MUST change your skin and body while never compromising on pampering from the moment you make your appointment to when you leave. Our desire at The Novita Spa on the Square is to educate the consumer about our products and services that truly will make a difference. Bottom line, the consumer today is looking for results. I would like to share with you what in fact sets us apart from other Spas in the area as well as Medical Spas. There is so much miss- information about skin care products and services. In the weeks to come I will share this information. The Novita Clinicals were launched in 1997. These products are the 2nd second generation from my first product line, Glycolique, that I launched in 1992. Both Glycolique and the Novita Clinical products have been inspired by Nature, developed by Science and proven by Results! To be continued next Sunday.

Happy 4th of July and the 5th Birthday for the Novita Spa on the Square

Five years ago, July 5th I opened the first Novita Spa on the Square. We opened in the Golds Department store with Diva. The journey to Georgetown really began the year before though when I started introducing Georgetown to Clinical Excellence with a Special Pampering Attitude by Novita Clinicals when I took a room at Rachel and Co. here in town. I drove weekly from Ft. Worth and worked from Thurs-Sat doing the Novita Clinical Facial Treatments. I knew I was to be here. So during the Summer of 2004 I sold my home in Ft. Worth and moved to Georgetown. Our warehouse and manufacturing remained in Ft. Woth. The long term plan was to open a Spa on the Square. The Wisebrods who own Diva were moving into The Golds building. They were gracious to invite me to join them and place our 1st Novita Spa on the Square in the building. As I said earlier we had our ribbon cutting on Fri. July 5th. What an amazing 5 years its been! In November 2007 we opened our Boutique two doors down from the Spa. The Boutique has given us a retail store for our Novita Clinical products and Mineral Makeup. We have had monthly Spa Nights, Girlfriend Parties Bridal Showers and many other events in the Boutique. Last Fall we started the finish out of our expanded Spa in the same building with the Boutique. April 27 we had our opening party! The First Phase is completed. I thank all our patrons with love and grattitude for their support. If you have not been in yet to have a tour of our completed new facility please do. Come and Enjoy a steam in our beautiful steam room and enjoy a glass of wine. Novita is an Italian word. It means new birth, new life...always something new! The next phase begins. We are moving our manufacruring here to Georgetown. We recently moved into our 1st building for sales- coustomer service and The Novita Clinicals Continuing Education Center. The Manufacturing is coming soon. To be continued.

Happy 4th of July and 5th Birthday to the Novita Spa on the Square!

On July 5th 2005 I opened the first Novita Spa on the Square, two doors down on 7th St with Diva. I just spent about an hour writing about the journey, I did something wrong and it didn't publish to the blog. Its now 2:30 AM. I hope this posts. I'll continue again in the AM. Blessings, megan

The Story Continues...

By the way, before I continue, I'd like to introduce myself. I am Megan Di Martino and I am the founder of The Novita Clinicals a product line of result oriented skin care products, which have been sold to Spas and Medical Spas since 1997. I am also the founder of the Novita Spa on the Square. At the time I first saw Georgetown in the summer of 2003 I was living in Ft. Worth Texas. I had lived in Ft. Worth since 1987 when I moved from New York. At that time I was looking to purchase a Spa in Ft. Worth. But, when I saw Georgetown I changed my plans. To be continued...

Welcome to Our Blog!

I am very excited to be doing a blog for our business The Novita Spa on the Square! Seven years ago I was introduced to Georgetown by my daughter Jill. She and her husband were buying a home and ended up buying it in Georgetown. We had lived in Connecticut for many years and Georgetown reminded us of New England! Its been a long journey but I knew as soon as I saw the Square this was home!

We are proud to announce that we are now at our new location at 109 W. 7th Street, Suite 110 in Georgetown, Texas. Stop by and see the different services we offer!
