Odyssey: Legendary Journeys

Introducing SpaRitual’s Special Matte Nail Lacquer Collection

SpaRitual is pleased to release Odyssey; a collection that pays homage to history’s epic journeys with six richly pigmented, matte lacquers. Strong, but not showy, the colors celebrate the gifts bestowed on the inveterate traveler. Beyond silver and gold, there are riches that can’t be measured. The Polish names were inspired by character descriptions: determination, courage, loyalty, grace, gratitude and bravery. SpaRitual aims to encourage the traveler inside you to embark on a journey. Let life guide the journey without a map or compass; open yourself to adventure. As an individual, it is our job to decide once we have arrived.

‘’The Odyssey collection was inspired by my adventures -‐ and the journeys of many centuries tales, and has been translated into a chivalric palette of shades,” says SpaRitual founder Shel Pink.

The Odyssey Nail Lacquer Collection features deep, rich, dusky shades and shimmering neutrals. The colors include Determination, Courage, Loyalty, Grace, Gratitude and Bravery.

SpaRitual is committed to providing spa and nail care products that nourish the mind, body and spirit connection which are also environmentally kind. As with all SpaRitual lacquers, the Odyssey Nail Lacquer Collection is formulated free of DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and camphor. For 2013, SpaRitual’s overarching theme is Slow Matters. This is a reminder to slow down our busy lives and savor the precious moments we all share. Each collection is a reflection of the theme and a reminder to step off the fast track, reconnect with ourselves and truly experience life. The Special Matte Odyssey Collection will be available November 1, 2013 and will retail for $12.00 each at select spa and retail locations throughout the country, including online at SpaRitual.com and Beauty.com For more information, on SpaRitual, please visit us at www.sparitual.com, and visit www.slowbeauty.com for more information on Slow Beauty rituals.

As a young girl growing up in Afghanistan, Rachel Hussein constantly watched

television broadcasts of motorsport races. She dreamed of one day working behind the

scenes for a major motorsport venue. She didn’t know exactly how to go about pursing

this goal, but she simply knew she would one day represent a motorsport facility.

Now a 30-‐year-‐old Public Relations professional, Hussein has made her dream a

reality. And the American University of Sharjah Department of Mass Communication

graduate says she couldn’t be happier with her job. Bahrain International Circuit hired her

directly out of college, as a result of her involvement and high GPA within the Public

Relations program. “When opening the track in 2004, the American University of Sharjah

Department of Mass Communication program was one of the first places we looked to hire

from. Even among the best, Hussein stood out,” says hiring manger, Warren Shultz.

As head of PR at the Bahrain International Circuit, many challenging situations have

come her way. Last April, protestors were in full force nearby the Formula One grand prix.

The main opposition group said around 60 rallies were held in 40 locations, in an upsurge

of a two-‐and-‐a-‐half-‐year-‐old campaign to push the Sunni Muslim ruling family for more

democracy in the Shi'ite-‐majority nation of 1.25 million people.

In order to keep the spectators entertained, Hussein flew a clown in from the UK.

“I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. Bonkers the clown had the whole crowd’s

attention,” says spectator John Smith. The atmosphere inside couldn’t have been more

different from the chaos happening outside of the track. “I was overjoyed to be able to give

these people an escape from the bad things happening out there,” says Hussein. Hussein

also organized media interviews for Bernie Ecclestone, commercial right holder, and

Zayed Al Zayani, the chairman of the circuit. “I am very pleased Hussein recognized the

need for media correspondence and acted fast,” says Zayani.

Let Jetstar take your advertising to the next level, by connecting you with a captive

audience! This year, Jetstar is launching a program called “Airplane Advertising 2.0,” that

allows your message to be placed on both the inside and outside of our aircrafts. Your ads

may be placed on bulkhead wraps, overhead bins, sidewall panels, trace tables, back seat

inserts, headrest covers and other areas. These advertisements are unobtrusive, tasteful

and fully visible to passengers throughout the entire flight.

In order to best accommodate your unique advertising needs, we offer a variety of price

points. Please call us at 1866-‐397-‐8170 for more information.

This is a message you cannot miss-‐ and it could be yours. Gain brand awareness by turning our top of the line jets into your brand’s canvas. This option will reach not only Jetstar travelers, but passengers flying with other airlines as well.

Turn tray tables into works of art, inspired by your brand. Tray table decals are a cost efficient way to tell your brand’s story. With airplanes seating 177-‐335 passengers, your odds of making an impression are higher than ever.

With advertisements placed on overhead bins, travelers will not only see your message when they are storing and unloading their belongings, but also when they board, move about the plane during the flight and as they slowly deplane.
