The December solstice occurs during the coldest season of the year. Although winter was regarded as the season of dormancy, darkness and cold, the coming of lighter days after the winter solstice brought on a more festive mood. To many people, this return of the light was a reason to celebrate that nature's cycle was continuing.

Happy Holidays Coachella Valley -
That's right. I was handpicked to represent Skin2SkinCare as their Body Wellness Expert. Keep reading to find out more about this company and how you can receive a discount just for reading Fit By Nic Newsletters! Savings like this just don't happen for anyone. Plus a FitByNic Holiday special! Check it out!
Okay, enough about me. What's going on with you? How did you like the Parade of Lights in Palm Springs? If you didn't get enough, there are more parades in Southern California. Plus the Golf Cart Parade on El Paseo is coming up! There's still time to get in the season. Wildlights at the Living Desert are still lit up...and Candy Cane Lane in Cathedral City continues to have the Holiday Spirit. Thank you!
I want to welcome Rene Baribeau of the Desert Holistic Network to Nic's Pic's this week. It's all about healing - mind, body & spirit. Thank you Rene for all you do.
I hope you continue to enjoy the weather we're having here in the Desert. It's still kinda chilly for me, but I'm still running outside, getting ready for the Tortoise Run. That's about my speed. Won't you join me?
Nickie
*Newsletter pricing available at www.FitByNic.com or look at the bottom of each block. Thank you |

Skin2Skin Care |
Nickie Nicolas is the Body Wellness Expert
Natural & Certified Organic Advanced Anti-Aging
Skin Care
Beauty at any age is beauty!
We use only 100% plant life replenishable ingredients - healthful for you and for our environment. The non-toxic, natural cleansers, creams, serums and masks include potent antioxidant elements that quench free radicals and protect against environmental pollutants and toxins.
I am proud and honored to accept the invitation of Skin 2 Skin™ Care to be their Body Wellness Expert. I want to thank everyone involved in making me feel at home and part of the whole Skin 2 Skin™Care family. The main thing that sold me on coming aboard is the fact that you did not ask me to do anything but write for you. You didn't ask me to sell anything, get anyone to sign up for anything or anything other than to write about wellness. Like with any great company, the product sells itself....and I am sold. This is why it's going to be easy to write for Skin 2 Skin™Care, wellness sells itself.
After only a couple of weeks of using the Skin Care products I called founder, president and CEO Ken Simpson, & asked if I could sell their products!
That's how good they are. They sell themselves.
They smell good, they feel good and they work!
But don't just take my word for it.
Go to www.skin2skincare.com
and read what
Ellen K & Ryan Seacrest are saying about Skin2Skin Care products. Plus read my first column:
