Clear-ing Things Up


Now that all of these pesky introductions are out of the way, we can talk about what Clear really is and why it works.

Clear is a wellness studio that embodies a healthy approach to better living:



Clear Your Mind
True happiness lies within us. When we suspend judgment and observe our emotional response with impartial attention we begin the journey toward self-awareness. Meditation, movement, breathing, are all techniques we use to help in the search for clarity.
 
Clear Your Body
The body plays an integral role when one when one is seeking overall well-being. We must strengthen the body daily to build stronger muscles and combat daily stressors. Stretching and moving will increase flexibility, improve digestion, release toxins and restore the body. A strong body leads to healthier posture, improved balance, and increased energy.

Clear your Skin
Environmental and oxidative stress produces free radicals that damage skin cells. Tzone skin care cosmeceutical provides an at-home antioxidant skin repair system to neutralize free radicals and eliminate their ability to damage skin cells. T4 Daily Defense utilizes a balance of hydrators, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, collagen builders, peptides, and sun protection. Tzone can help you fight wrinkles, reduce breakouts and exfoliate the skin for maximum anti-aging benefits and healthier skin. With regular use of Tzone/T4 products, your skin will be better equipped to combat stress caused by sun exposure, pollution and irritants.

Clear Beginnings

So, I suppose we should introduce ourselves.

Writing regularly in this blog: Annie Bolling, Owner and Founder of Clear and Jennifer Day, Online Community Manager for Clear.

And I guess you're probably wondering...What is Clear? Why should I care? I'll hand this over to Annie to explain.


I opened Clear in September of 2011 after running an art gallery selling contemporary and often conceptual art. Well, maybe not selling--exhibiting contemporary and conceptual art. Apparently, it's not easy to sell a chandelier with 36 lbs of raw bacon and fondant roses.

My two passions have always been art and wellness. I received my Pilates certification, and began training clients privately as a side project.

My clients told me that what they really loved about working with me was the small group setting. Working with my clients in this environment allowed me to use my 13 years of Yoga experience to notice the things that they really needed to work on, including posture and proper alignment.

I had the training, I had the motivation, I had the space...a few renovations later, Clear was born. 

And that's where I (Jen) come in. Annie clearly needed help with the Social Media and Marketing for Clear, and I agreed to lend my expertise. I also agreed that I could use some help in Annie's areas of expertise- so I'm becoming the Clear Experiment.  That's where our blog name comes from. The day I met Annie, she told me "If you'll commit to it, I'll change your life."

My response? "I'm in."
