Shelton’s Common Bond Market will hold its second annual Night of Beauty on, November 12 from 7 to 9pm. Vendors and service providers will offer complimentary samples, chair massages, makeovers and consultations to the public.

Alison Bushnell, who manages the store’s supplements and health and beauty department, said, “Last year’s event drew about 150 people in the two hours, which told us the public is as excited about natural approaches to health and beauty as we are. We had to do it again.”

This year’s event will feature complimentary light refreshments from the store’s natural foods chef, Kristine Cybart. Elise Panza, ND, the staff naturopathic physician, will be available to answer questions. Panza’s clinical specialties include depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, thyroid disorders and weight loss/management.

“Many of our favorite vendors will be with us to demonstrate products and offer free samples,” Bushnell said. “We have a certified makeup artist who will do makeovers and two licensed massage therapists who will offer complimentary chair massages.”

Kim Osborne, the store’s general manager says, “The chair massages were a hit last year, which didn’t surprise us. People are stressed because of today’s grab-and-go lifestyle. At The Common Bond, we hope to encourage our customers to slow down a little and savor life.”
