It’s back-to-school season which means we are welcoming our children back to learning in classrooms, seeing them off to their extracurricular activities or sports, and filling our calendars with playdates and group events. In the craziness of building routines and getting back into the swing of school, it’s important to remember to keep up with our health and keep out germs that are easily picked up and brought home.

As a mother, I’ve had my fair share of first days of school, and like many of my clients, I’ve seen how quickly little sniffles can turn into a classroom flu. Back-to-school almost always means flu season is also approaching. Not only have I learned the importance of staying diligent in my cleaning and sanitation at home for my children, but also here at the shop for my clients and Meraki community. Last month I wrote about the cleaning prosses at both of our salons. I want to maintain Meraki as an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation, where you can enjoy a manicure, pedicure, and so much more and release those back-to-school stressors!
