Information Tent, which details Deer Path<br />
Art League programming.<br />
For over 63 years, the not-for-profit<br />
Deer Path Art League has been dedicated<br />
to the creation and appreciation of art<br />
through a variety of classes and summer<br />
camps at Gorton Community Center, exhibitions<br />
of student and member work,<br />
and the awarding of a scholarship at Lake<br />
Forest High School.<br />
Hosting Art Fair helps to fulfill the Art<br />
League mission to “spark, nurture and<br />
enhance creativity as well as raise community<br />
awareness and appreciation of the<br />
arts.” The mission is as true today as it<br />
was in 1954. We hope to see you there to<br />
help us celebrate the tradition of supporting<br />
the arts on the North Shore.<br />

Tips for summer hair care from Pascal Pour Elle<br />
When the sun finally<br />
gets here, will your hair<br />
and skin thrive?<br />
As the weather starts to<br />
change here in Chicago,<br />
it means summer is right<br />
around the corner. With<br />
summer fashions in store<br />
windows, it lets us know<br />
that fun in the sun will<br />
soon be a reality. It is the<br />
perfect time to prepare<br />
your hair and skin with a<br />
few simple steps.<br />
To make your summer<br />
fashion really glow, you<br />
need to have fabulous hair<br />
and colored hair needs<br />
protection. Our colorists<br />
recommend using a UV<br />
protection spray such as<br />
Pureology Colour Fanatic,<br />
a multitasking hair spray.<br />
They also recommend using<br />
a mild shampoo, or a<br />
sulfate free shampoo such<br />
as Evo Therapist Shampoo<br />
and Conditioner. This<br />
shampoo is lightweight<br />
and recommended for all<br />
hair types. Between the sun<br />
and chlorine, summer can<br />
take its toll on your hair.<br />
If you have color-treated<br />
hair, our colorists suggest<br />
using Brazilian Blowout<br />
Smoothing Serum before<br />
you enter the pool to coat<br />
the hair. This will lock in<br />
moisture, while locking<br />
out humidity and provide<br />
UVA & UVB protection.<br />
If your hair is frizzy during<br />
this time of year, we<br />
recommend either the Brazilian<br />
blowout treatment,<br />
or the Keratin Complex<br />
smoothing treatment.<br />
It is also very important<br />
to protect your skin during<br />
this time of year. Optimal<br />
protection from the sun requires<br />
both a quality sunblock<br />
and an antioxidant<br />
to prevent damage caused<br />
by visible light. Our salon<br />
carries high-end skin care<br />
lines that range in all sorts<br />
of at-home care. A recommendation<br />
for your skin<br />
during this time would be<br />
Revision Tinted Moisturizer.<br />
It has an SPF of 45,<br />
which is perfect for your<br />
face. Reapplication is not<br />
necessary with this product<br />
except after swimming<br />
and activities that cause intense<br />
perspiration.<br />
We are all looking forward<br />
to summer as it<br />
quickly approaches. It’s<br />
time to take steps to make<br />
your hair and skin equally<br />
elegant. Topping your look<br />
off with beautiful healthy<br />
hair and skin will give you<br />
the complete package to<br />
look and feel fabulous all<br />
summer!<br />

Congratulations, Highland Park and Lake Forest; you<br />
made it through another Chicagoland winter. Now it’s<br />
time to enjoy some fun in the sun, but that doesn’t mean<br />
traveling very far. In fact, it doesn’t even mean leaving<br />
your hometown. Highland Park, Highwood, Lake Bluff<br />
and Lake Forest might not be a tropical paradise but there<br />
are plenty of options to keep you active this summer without<br />
the hassle of hopping a plane or spending hours upon<br />
hours in a car. Below, we’ve listed 26 fun things to do right<br />

MEET TRACY<br />
My passion for hair began at a young age. With the support of my family, I was able to<br />
pursue my career in this industry. I have always been drawn to helping others laugh and feel<br />
good about themselves, I have found I thrive in this environment where I can accomplish<br />
that everyday. With the extensive education provided at Pascal pour Elle, I am constantly<br />
expanding my knowledge and understanding of hair color and current trends. Outside of the<br />
salon, I love being with my friends and family, reading, cooking, being outdoors and anything<br />
that makes me laugh.<br />
