"Wanting to look and feel your best? Swing by Urbaca Salon, whether for a hair cut from one of the incredible stylists or a spa treatment or wax from their in-house esthetician, Sherry. Sherry has developed her own line of sulfate and paraben free organic skincare for all skin types. She incorporates them into her facial treatments and you will be left with the smoothest, healthiest skin you've seen yourself in! You cannot pass up a visit to Sherry, and I cannot recommend her luxury facials highly enough - she's my first stop whenever I come to town for a visit! Book ahead - she's popular."
Elaini Garfield Facebook Interviews Sherry Okamura!
What is your passion?
I have a full time *plus* job at Urbaca and it takes a lot of energy to run a skin care company! Concentrating on social media strategies for both businesses has allowed me a little flexibility.
Why do you chose to “give back” or “pay it forward? And how did you decided to go about that?
Well, $1 from each Elaini Shea Creme purchase is donated to warmblankets.org. The organically preserved facial moisturizer is named after you. We are also passionate about clean water with water.org. I support live theater with branded lip balms for triangle productions! www.tripro.org. Arts, children + clean water. Is there anything else worth living for? : )

Well, working on vets from Iraq and Afghanistan I've found they don't like to have hair and want to be waxed head to toe. I don't know if it's PTSD but they say they don't want that sensation of sand in their hair. Being waxed literally everywhere is a rather funny (and terrifying) thought, but the reason behind it is sad.
How do you get out of a discouragement slump when you have one in regards to what you’re doing?
Get a good night's sleep. Dance it out.
Brilliant answers! Thank you so much for inspiring me all over again like you do!
You're sweet, thanks kid!
Adding *Acupunture* Rachel Gilman to Body Mind Spirit Expo!
If you've been curious about acupuncture, we're bringing it out of the treatment room and into the Okamura Farm Market booth at the Body Mind Spirit Expo in Portland, November 1-2, 2014!
Acupuncturist Rachel Gilman from Acupuncture Northwest will perform complimentary acupuncture both Saturday and Sunday.
If you have questions, concerns, fears or phobias, bring it! Rachel often treats pain, digestive issues, infertility, insomnia, anxiety, depression, prenatal care and so much more. She is a sensory healer, in addition to excellent acupuncture treatment, she incorporates aromatherapy and shiatsu.
She also practices cosmetic acupuncture! I tried one treatment and it's rather amazing for improving the appearance of fine lines, firming and tightening facial skin. The best part? She accepts most health insurances!
Stay tuned for more information about the OF Farm Market booth at BMSE! #BodyMindSpiritExpoPDX #okamurafarm #acupuncture #rachelgilmanacupuncture
What's Up With the Tarot Cards?
This, my friends, is a very special deck. Conceived by artist Erica Thomas in conjunction with Psychic + Tarot Card Reader Jodi Snyder and the Portland Art Museum. Only 25 decks of these extraordinary cards were made.
I have been reading tarot since I was 12 and incorporate numerology, astrology, chakra work, animal totems in my work. Adding these awesome works of art is a delightful frosting.
