May 24, 2011 — As world leader in eye protection, we’re constantly working to improve and come up with new ideas/new collaborations within the tanning industry. This approach helps us decide where best to continue to focus our efforts.

Effective immediately, we are discontinuing Eye Swirls Hydrating Eye treatment.  This decision was not taken lightly; what stays and what goes is ultimately up to our customers. While it is difficult to make this announcement, we’re excited about new projects we’ll soon be sharing.  We are very thankful to all of our loyal EYE PRO fans and grateful for your ongoing support.

On March 18, 2011, Renee Lofland, Director of Training for EYE PRO, welcomed her second child, Cooper Lee Lofland.  Cooper’s big sister, Bella, and Renee’s husband, Ed are thrilled with the newest family member.  Says Renee “Bella has turned into mommy’s little helper and Cooper is so calm, he loves to watch his big sister in action.” The Lofland family feels so very blessed to have two wonderful children.

“We are so excited for Renee and her entire family,” stated EYE PRO president, Brenda Fishbaugh. “We are always thrilled to announce news like this.”

In my January column, I wrote about the passing of John Ratliff and how his wife, Sara, donated his organs to benefit others. At a January tanning trade event, I met North Carolina salon owners Robin and Steve Setliff who wanted me to know that living people can donate organs, too; the couple is learning about live organ donation the hard way. Read on to learn about their story…Click here to read more or view or download PDF of entire article…

The Setliff family includes (from l-r) Brittany, Steve, Robin & Brandon. The couple has co-owned two Island Tans salons in Winston- Salem, NC for 12 years

If you’ve been a regular reader of my column, you know that I’m a big supporter of businesses that do good works. Of course, it’s helpful for your public image; but I believe you should choose a cause you personally believe in, and get involved because it’s the right thing to do.

I’m thrilled to highlight several tanning industry companies – a service provider, a product distributor and two salons – whose operators are doing the right thing for their communities…read more…

October 25 , 2010 — EYE PRO, Inc. — world leader in eyewear and home of WINK-EASE, VIEWkeepers, Fresh-Ease, and now Eye Swirls re-hydrating nourishing eye treatments, announces 2011 “Treat Yourself” salon training now available online at EyePro.net.

“We are thrilled with our new training,” said EYE PRO President Brenda Fishbaugh. “It has a lot of great sales tips for salons on eye protection and other salon accessories,” she continued. “We’ve really focused on how to make the tanning experience into a spa experience and we all can use a little siesta in the middle of our day!”

In less than 30 minutes, salons can learn all about eye protection and be able to receive FREE goodies too. Right now, those include 11 different Performance Brand lotions, our educational counter mat for tanners, and a new Zippie pak with samples of WINK-EASE, VIEWkeepers and Fresh-Ease. Salons will also receive samples of Eye Swirls, an innovative hydrating eye treatment worn under your eyes while tanning indoors.  Eye Swirls won’t leave tan lines on your face and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffy eyes.  Eye Swirls can be worn 4-5 times and can be used while tanning or relaxing at home.  A great spa treatment!

“The online training is also a great way to get new and current staff ready for the upcoming season,” reminded Fishbaugh. To view the pre-recorded training, all that’s needed is a computer with high speed internet access. Since it’s a pre-recorded version, salons can pick the day and time to view — anytime, anywhere — 24/7!

On my most recent trip to Africa, I didn’t mind sharing a tent with slugs, scorpions and ticks. I didn’t mind that the only heat available during the cold nights was a small hot water bottle to hug. I had no issues with nature’s “outdoor bathroom” when on safari. But there were a few things in Kenya I DID mind. I minded that people were illegally killing
endangered rhinos to sell their horns. And I minded that kids don’t get much food or education. Those are the things I really minded – and want to help change. Come along on my journey (Island Sun Times has kindly removed the bugs and bathroom issues for you!)…Brenda Fishbaugh   Read on….
