2017 Pink Tie Affair Recap
From the eyes of our CEO, Michelle Z. Cilip
The Pink Tie Affair committee could not have asked for a more beautiful day on the day of the event hosted by the Twin Tiers Region affiliate of Susan G. Komen, on September 22, 2017, at the National Soaring Museum in Elmira, NY. They set out to raise $50,000, after raising an astounding $48,000 last year.
As the “Pink Tie Guys” arrived at the 2017 Pink Tie Affair, Michelle Z. Cilip, CEO of AgeLess SPA, couldn’t help but be proud to be apart of such a spectacular event. She helped a wonderful group of ladies with planning and set up, and when the time came, she got ready for the evening by getting her makeup done by Jen at AgeLess SPA, where she typically gets her makeup done before any special occasion she attends. This year for the event, she wore a subtle, but elegant, flapper-inspired dress with pink heels, giving her just the right amount of a pop of color for the Komen cocktail party.

She returned to the event with her husband, Dr. Michael Cilip, who is a “Pink Tie Guy” from the class of 2014. As a member of the committee, she took part in greeting and checking in the gentlemen and their guests. This also included gentlemen from previous Pink Tie Affair events who still attend this event because once a “Pink Tie Guy,” always a “Pink Tie Guy.”
Upon being checked in, the “Pink Tie Guys” of the class of 2017, received their signature pink ties, donated by H. Strauss Clothier in Elmira, NY. There was even the opportunity for glider rides, socializing with other attendees, touring the museum, and enjoying the food catered by Serendipity, located in Ithaca, NY.

Once all the gentlemen apart of the 2017 “Pink Tie Guys” class arrived, they gathered for a group photo, taken by the talented Chris Walters photography. Shortly after the photo opportunity, the event began where they recognized all of the “Pink Tie Guys,” whom of which are a group of well-respected corporate, healthcare and civic leaders from our region.
“I told Michael, it’s overwhelming how grateful the Pink Tie gentlemen are to be apart of the event,” Michelle said, “It’s truly moving to see their dedication and support,” with so much passion in her eyes.
In addition to recognizing the “Pink Tie Guys,” an auction was held, where many businesses and artists generously donated spectacular items to support this great event. One person took home AgeLess SPA’s donation, which included three SPA services valued at $500.

“It’s an event that’s short and sweet, and that’s what I believe people like about it,” Michelle said, “It starts around 5 p.m. and goes until about 8:30 p.m.,” “Everyone can come in work attire after work or get all dressed up and raise money for a great cause together.”

Michelle first attended the Pink Tie Affair when Dr. Cilip was invited to be a “Pink Tie Guy,” three years ago. After, she knew she very much wanted to get involved with this spectacular organization. This is her second year on the committee and she without a doubt will be returning for many more.
When asked what draws her to this event and the Susan G. Komen foundation, she said,
“The main source is credibility and faith – I believe this foundation goes above and beyond to show the data of how funds are being donated. The ultimate goal is finding a cure, and I have faith they’re going to find it, but it takes people like all of us to keep that mission moving along, and it takes good, hard-working, and passionate people to keep it alive. There are so many people affected by breast cancer, even within the AgeLess SPA organization, so I want to be apart of something where I can make a difference.”

It’s easy to get on the committee, and they welcome everyone. There are about ten people on the committee, and many have been affected by breast cancer one way or another. It’s a way to be involved within the community in making tremendous strides in raising awareness about breast health and breast cancer, as well as raise funds for breast cancer screenings, treatments, and education.

Our Favorite Fall Products
With the weather shifting from warmer to cooler, we know it can surely have an impact on your skin. We’re always getting questions about what products to use with each season, so we knew we had to do something to help you keep your skin at its best all season long. The only problem we faced when making this list was we literally love everything Image Skincare and bareMinerals offers, so choosing four products/collections was a little hard, but we put our heads together and created a short and sweet list of our favorite go-to fall products just for you!
IMAGE Skincare’s Vital C Collection
When transitioning into a fall skincare regimen, we always come back to the Vital C collection by Image Skincare, no matter the season, simply because of the hydration it offers. It keeps our skin hydrated, it’s perfect for morning and evening regimens, a little bit goes a long way, and it’s great for all skin types. The shift in the weather is going to dry out your skin, but with Vital C, you’ll worry less about it and get to enjoy more of everything fall offers.
bareMinerals Foundation
We can’t live without our bareMinerals foundations! We love to opt for a natural look most days while keeping our skin healthy. From mineral to liquid, there’s something for everyone. bareMinerals offers a serum foundation, not liquid, while the Complexion Rescue has a mousse like feel and is perfect for a natural weekend look or the girl on-the-go!
IMAGE Skincare’s Ormedic Sheer Pink Lip Enhancement
We were obsessed when Image Skincare introduced this earlier in the year, and we’re still obsessed now! With a light pink tint, it goes perfectly with an everyday natural look while helping our dehydrated lips.
IMAGE Skincare’s I Beauty Brow and Lash Enhancement Serum
This serum got an upgrade from being used on just lashes to lashes AND brows! We couldn’t believe the results we saw in such a short amount of time. It’s designed to create fuller, longer, and healthier lashes.
For more information on these products, please visit an AgeLess SPA location near you to consult with a highly trained professional esthetician to achieve best results for your skin type.

AgeLess SPA On-The-Go, It’s the SPA You to While On-The-Go
We’re here to save the day with our AgeLess SPA On-The-Go services for those busy bees always on-the-go, wishing they could go to the spa and have that much needed “me time”!
Spa services aren’t luxuries in our eyes, they’re necessities. It’s something we make time for no matter how busy our schedules are and for good reason; it’s a form of self-care. For example, we go to the grocery store regularly for nutrient rich food to take care of the inside of your body, so why not go to the spa to take care of the outside of your body? If we aren’t taking care of our body entirely, does this mean we’re just getting by in life and aren’t focusing on our overall health? We often forget how good our bodies are meant to feel because we’re so busy working, taking care of others, and putting ourselves on the backburner. But whether it’s on your lunch break or while the kids are at extracurricular activities, there are options here to fit in your busy schedule.
So what is considered an AgeLess SPA On-The-Go service? Just about anything that takes less than an hour and the best part is most of our services do just that!
If you only have just over half an hour…
Our 30 Minute Integrated Massage may interest you for those sore muscles…
Even though our 60 Minute massage is our most popular (because a 30 Minute Integrated Massage just doesn’t feel long enough when it feels so good to lay on a bed warmer and have one of our lovely massage therapists loosen up those sore muscles), sometimes, time does not allow for that to happen. If you are looking for a quick service where you want to have your shoulders loosened up from typing all day or help with lower back pain from sitting and/or standing for hours at a time, a 30 Minute Integrated Massage can help you with that. It can also be a quick full body massage to give you just a half hour to loosen up. The best part is this can easily be done on a lunch break or even after work.
If you have somewhere to be after and don’t want your hair to be too messy or walk out with the glowing “massage face”, plan ahead of time and pack some dry shampoo and makeup to touch up. But if you still don’t have time to pack those essentials the night before or the morning of, just kindly communicate to your therapist that you don’t want your head and face touched due to a commitment post-massage. But, we promise, there’s nothing wrong with the post-massage glow.
Our licensed professional estheticians can cleanse your skin while you relax…
Another favorite is our Mini Signature Facial. This facial is just like our Signature Facial but in half the time. It only takes half an hour, which cleanses, exfoliates, and brings your skin back to life in a blink! This facial also gives your esthetician time to recommend the perfect products to incorporate into your daily regimen to fit your on-the-go needs.
Take care of those unwanted hairs…
For people on-the-go, the last thing you want to think about is dealing with the unwanted hair you don’t want showing on your body. We love that our Laser Hair Removal services can be so quick and easy. Even our dear friend, Alisa, from Sense of Shine, is able to fit it in her busy schedule. From legs, underarms, bikini areas, to even the face, you can get these services done on your lunch break or while the kids are at their extracurricular activities.
If you have just over an hour…
Have your cake and eat it, too with our Mini Spa Treatment!
We made it easy for you to have a spa day in just one hour by combining our 30 Minute Integrated Massage and 30 Minute Mini Signature Facial; it’ll be like having your cake and eating it, too! First, you’ll get to have your sore muscles worked on. After, you’ll be able to relax during a quick facial to free your skin of any dirt and grime that gets picked up from your daily routine.
Go with our most popular massage…
As mentioned above, our 60 Minute Integrated Massage is the go-to massage when time allows, simply because it’s nice having that full hour for our massage therapists to really give attention to every area needed. It also allows more time to warm up your muscles with warm towels and work on your body where you deal with chronic pain, muscle fatigue, or any problematic area.
Our most loved facial will leave you glowing!
Our most loved facial is our Signature Facial and with good reason. This facial offers a professional skin analysis, steaming, exfoliating, deep pore cleansing, extractions of toxins, toning, mask, and massage. Plus, can we mention how amazing it is to have the warm booties put on as you relax on a bed warmer? Yes, please!
Treat yourself to a manicure without worry about drying time!
We believe treating yourself to a good manicure is a form of wellness, simply because it makes us happy and there’s nothing wrong with doing things that make us happy. But in all honesty, who has time to deal with nails drying these days? Especially when gel nail polish exists. With an AgeLess Hand Detail with Gel Polish, your hands will always look taken care of within an hour and you rarely have to worry about chipping since it typically [but not guaranteed] lasts up to two weeks once they need to be freshened up again.
Opt for an even more durable nail treatment so there’s no worry at all…
This service is SO perfect for the person who does not want to worry about their nails at all except for when they need to come in for an hour to get them done with one of our licensed professional nail technicians. Similar to acrylics, gel enhancements are healthier and more durable, if done the right way by a professional. It looks more natural because it helps to protect your nail from breaking and you can keep it at any desired length. You rarely have to worry about the enhancements breaking or chipping, which is so nice with busy schedules. Some ladies come in every two weeks for a fill but others can make theirs last for up to a month!
If you only have time to grab-n-go…
We offer a variety of skin care products for you to use at home when you really don’t have time to come to the SPA. If you want something you can put on and not have to wait for it to dry or soak into your skin, we suggest going with the AgeLess Total Overnight Retinol Masque by Image Skincare. All you have to do is put it on at night, go to sleep, and wash it off in the morning. It’s so easy and leaves your skin feeling so soft.
But if you have a little time before bed, we suggest using the Image Skincare Biomolecular Anti-Aging Radiance Mask or the Image Skincare Biomolecular Hydrating Mask. Both of these masks are formulated, unlike any other masks, you would find at Target or Ulta. You just have to leave it on for about 20-25 minutes or until it is absorbed into your skin, and then remove and discard the mask. It will give your skin that hydration and AgeLess look you’re going for.
From massages helping relieve your muscles from sitting at a computer or standing all day, to treating yourself to a simple, durable manicure that makes you happy, it’s important to take care of yourself in every way possible. That’s why we designed our services to be perfect for the person on-the-go because your wellness matters, too.
So go ahead, look ahead in your planner and schedule at least a half hour to an hour to take care of yourself with our on-the-go services. And with our memberships, you’ll be saving money on your services and even enjoy a complimentary service each month, depending on what membership you choose – bonus!
AgeLess SPA On-The-Go, it’s the SPA you go to while on-the-go.
