breast cancer awareness

Hello beauties! We hope you’re doing well in school and enjoying the fresh fall weather. Halloween is just around the corner, and before you know it, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving! In the fall and the winter most people are less likely to get enough vitamin D. This is because we spend less time outside in the sunlight.

I bet you didn’t know that high levels of vitamin D are linked to lower rates of cancer. We get most of our vitamin D from food and sunlight. Did you know that you can also get vitamin D from tanning beds? Now you have even more reasons to keep up your regular tanning routine at Tropical Tan! Scientists aren’t quite sure yet how vitamin D fights cancer, but they think it has something to do with its affect on cellular life cycles. Vitamin D has been shown to slow down the growth of cells that could become cancerous, and it may also encourage cells to differentiate and develop in ways that are not conducive to cancerous growths. The benefits of vitamin D are magnified in people who have healthy lifestyle habits, like eating well and exercising regularly.

This is on our minds because we are currently working with Hope4You to raise money to help fight breast cancer. If you donate $2 to the cause, we’ll give you a 10% discount. For $3 you’ll get 15% off, $4 gets you 20% off, and you can get a 25% discount for just $5. We’re happy to offer a huge 30% discount to everyone who donates $10. Every little bit helps, and we expect our Give Breast Cancer the Boot campaign to be our most successful charity drive yet.

Ae’re putting the word out that we have new hours of operation. You can come donate to cancer research and enjoy your own cancer-fighting tanning session during the following times:

Monday – Friday: 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 P.M.
Saturday: 9:00 A.M. – 7:00 P.M.
Sunday: 11:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M.

Don’t let your tan fade just because the weather’s getting cooler! Tropical Tan helps you stay golden and glowy all year round.

And don’t forget about our boutique clothing collection. We have some adorable fall items.

God bless and make it a great day!

October is Brest Cancer Awareness Month

October 19, 2015 tropicaltanjoplin

At Tropical Tan, we believe in giving back. Our services and products are intended to make people look and feel better, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Most of our customers are women, so women’s causes are very close to our collective heart. Breast cancer is an illness that affects so many of us, and in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have decided to launch a donation campaign. This cause is dear to our hearts since we have experienced it.

Every little bit helps, and we know that many of our customers are students or young adults who do not always have very much money to spare. To show just how far every dollar goes, we are encouraging all of you to donate just $3 to the cause, with a modest goal of getting an average of $5 for every donation. All the proceeds go to Hope 4 You.

If you make this small donation through Tropical Tan, we will give you 25% off any product or service you purchase that day. If you donate $5 or more, we will give you a bracelet to show our thanks and appreciation. We hope that you will be inspired to donate and to feel how rewarding it is to help others.

<!— We are continuing our partnership with Powerhouse Gym. New customers with valid Powerhouse ID cards will receive $130 in free services if they purchase a yearly membership with us. We are very excited to have joined forces with Powerhouse. Tropical Tan is all about health and wellness, and we are glad to give you an incentive to stave off the “freshman 15” and maintain your figure through the holiday season. —!>

Thanks to all of you for inspiring us to make a positive impact in our little community of Joplin. For the whole month of October, the positive effects of our tans and aqua massages are further amplified by how good you’ll feel after contributing toward a great cause.

God bless and make it a great day!

One last thing, through Halloween we are giving $10 off on spray tans. So don’t forget to get that perfect color for all your Halloween parties with a quick UV free spray tan in our Mystic HD or our Versa Spa.

Tropical Tan’s October Specials in Recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 3, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Every October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a month where organizations such as national public service organizations, professional medical organizations and government agencies collaborate with one another in order to raise funds for and awareness of Breast Cancer research.

October Special at Tropical Tan

In October, we will be offering several specials in order to contribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If a client donates $3 or more, they will receive 25% off of tanning packages*. If a client spends $50 or more, they will get to spin a wheel to win free products or services!

These specials are awesome deals that not only save you money, but also raise funds and awareness for battling breast cancer. In addition, new research suggests tanning may increase levels of vitamin D, which acts as a natural suppressant of breast cancer.

Vitamin D, Breast Cancer and Tanning

Studies have shown that increased levels of vitamin D can reduce a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer by 50-70% and vitamin D levels can be increased through indoor tanning or the sun!

Even better, just one session of non-burning indoor tanning can provide the equivalent amount of vitamin D as 100 glasses of milk!

Vitamin D is known as the “sunshine” vitamin, and sun beds and the sun alike emit enough UVB light to cause natural vitamin D production. A study published in the Journal of Oncology showed that only 6% of early-stage breast cancer patients had sufficient vitamin D levels.¹

This shocking statistic reveals that this single vitamin can potentially reduce the onset of breast cancer in a huge percentage of the population.

Take Advantage of these Specials and Increase Your Vitamin D Levels!

With this great news about the ability of vitamin D to reduce breast cancer occurrence, it’s important for all women to ensure they have sufficient levels of vitamin D. That’s why Tropical Tan’s October specials as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month are an excellent offer to take advantage of, as clients will not only be contributing to raising funds to fight breast cancer, but will also be taking care to ensure their own risk is reduced through the natural production of vitamin D as a result of indoor tanning.

Tropical Tan is located at 705 Illinois, Suite 17A, Joplin, Missouri 64801 and can be reached at (417) 782-3900. Stop in today to see why we are Joplin’s favorite tanning salon and find out more about these amazing specials! No appointment is necessary.

October Special – In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 4, 2012 tropicaltanjoplin

Every year, millions of women undergo treatments for breast cancer, a deadly disease that has claimed far more lives than necessary. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is dedicated to making people aware of the dangers of breast cancer and what can be done to keep from succumbing to it. Two points that the National Cancer Society emphasizes is the need for monthly breast self-exams, which involves a woman checking herself for lumps in her breasts, and yearly mammograms, which are screenings at the office of a medical professional with equipment designed to detect tumors. In addition to becoming more well-informed, women can honor this month by donating money to research to help beat this insidious disease.

D-Feat Breast Cancer

The D-Feat Breast Cancer campaign is designed to draw awareness to a powerful natural prevention for breast cancer – vitamin D. This effort is based on hundreds of studies for more than 30 years that suggest women with adequate blood levels of vitamin D have a significantly lower incidence of breast cancer.
