MediSpa Conference 2014
NCEA
Join keynote speaker Susanne Warfield, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Sept. 16, at The Institute of Beauty and Wellness' annual MediSpa Conference at the OC Hanson Auditorium in Milwakee inside the Aveda Building. Susanne will present on on the business, ethics and liability of the medispa industry.
Medical spas, also known as mediSpas, blend the best of both worlds — a spa experience with the procedures and expertise found at a doctor's office.
MediSpa's use more aggressive treatments and are a great way to get treatment for acne, aging skin, hair removal and more.
This year's impressive panel boasts all of the above — skin care expertise and a touch of spa added to every treatment. The conference will also touch on upcoming medusa trends like skin rejuvenation, injectables, industry trends, skin rejuvenation and body contouring.

Yogurt facial? Probiotics are really good for your skin, too
Care2
By now you know that probiotics are good for your gut, but did you know that they're good for your skin, too?
While most people are aware of the benefits of ingesting probiotics, they might be less well versed on the topical benefits. There's a growing body of research showing that putting probiotics directly on our skin can be a good thing, for example, researchers have shown a link between probiotic use and clearer skin in patients with acne.
Battle scars: Focus on body's remarkable healing powers
Tallahassee Democrat
Flip through a magazine filled with the flawless skin of models whose satiny cheeks, silk-smooth shoulders and porcelain legs seem to have survived normal life unscathed. Then look at your own dermis. Unlike photo-shopped models, for most of us, life is spelled out in these scars and imperfections. In fact, the scar is a miracle dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the human body and getting it back to normal functioning as soon as possible.
So what happens when the body's largest organ, the skin, is breached? How are scars formed and what happens when they "go rogue?"

Decisiveness drives success for companies
By Greg Witz
 Some people just can't make up their minds. Neither can some companies. But if they knew what their indecision was costing them, would they change how they operate? Ram Charan, a former faculty member at Harvard Business School wrote an article titled, "Conquering a Culture of Indecision." In it, he talks about companies that have successfully created frameworks for decisive action. Highly marketed and distributed, this article was published in the April 2006 issue of the Harvard Business Review and met with many accolades. However, it's almost 10 years later, and the problem exists even more profoundly today.
Should you pay your employees for overtime?
By Catherine Iste
If an employee is properly classified as exempt, the laws regarding minimum wage and overtime do not apply to them. The U.S. Department of Labor spells out different types of exemptions based on the duties the employee is performing. Managers, executives and owners often want to work around the overtime laws, so they classify employees as exempt without making more than a cursory effort to determine if the job duties really require an exemption. This is simply a huge mistake with the potential to cost the organization a lot of money and likely even more of a headache of time and resources spent remedying the situation.

Don't stop believin' (in email)
Direct Marketing News
Sometime email marketing feels like the gamble "Journey" sings about. But done right, email marketing is music to the ears of customers and brands alike. Here, we round up advice from several recent DMN articles on email marketing. Play on. "The people getting A's in email are moving to marketing to people more on a one-to-one basis. Instead of basing everything on a calendar and sending everybody the same message at a given time, the top quartile is saying lets create 10, 30 or 40 messages and tie them to cart abandonment, post-purchase and browse abandonment," says Loren McDonald, vice president of Industry Relations for Silverpop.
