Small Town Hospitality beats Big City Beauty Shop, Check out Total Results Salon in Marble Hill, MO

Disclosure:  I was sponsored by Total Results Salon, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.  

Since moving back to Bollinger County, Missouri or as my friends call it the "sticks" of Missouri, there are obviously some conveniences that I have been forced to give up.  Being in a rural area we don't have hair shops, nail salons, and spas at every corner......to be completely honest many folks still use their Aunt So & So to cut their hair and help out with their beauty needs.

A few weeks back I was itching for some "uptown" pampering, but hated to drive 45 minutes to the city just for a few minutes of relaxation....yes it is really that far to a town with a population of more than 3000.  Well I saw a post on Facebook for Total Results Salon and decided I would I would try out some small town relaxation.

After all the big city trips (St Louis, Memphis, Las Vegas) I have decided I would prefer to use a small town beauty shop for my relaxation needs.  There is something about walking into a beauty shop, meeting your stylist, and sitting down and having a good old fashion conversation.  Danielle Beel, also a local girl, but we only knew each other in a "roundabout" way, which probably made my experience a little more fun.

As I entered the salon, it was way different than the fancy chairs, serenading music, candles lite for relaxation, and wine......Nope Danielle rolled out her stainless steel washtub, filled it full of warm water, and gave me a true small town pedicure.

While Danielle's shop was not upscale, full of gadgets, it was full of life, fun, and what means more to me than how fancy a shop is, it was full of TRUE SMALL TOWN HOSPITALITY.  When I visit a place rather it be here locally, or somewhere far away the one thing that stands out the most is how they treat me as a visitor.  I would not hesitate bringing my "big city" friends back to Danielle's shop for a girls day out, I would not hesitate visiting her shop with my daughter, and obviously I don't hesitate recommending her shop to my readers.

Danielle and Total Salon Results is a full service salon in uptown Marble Hill, Missouri...she offers pretty much anything you need or want for relaxation....only she adds in some Small Town HOSPITALITY.

Have an Adventurous Day!

This is BoCo


We are settled in, right back where I started!  I have started a new #hashtag and my theme is This is #BoCo.  

While I was only 25 miles away from home I have realized over the past week how much I have really missed!  My goodness, God is Good and he is so Good!  I look around everywhere and I see all the amazing things he has created that I once took for granted, then never realized I missed it, until I moved home and saw it with new eyes!  

Here are a few of my This is #BoCo shots from my afternoon run today!

Vacation PaPa's House

The kids and I have had a bit of stressful week, but we found just what the doctor ordered...Vacation PaPa's House.

There is something about "going home", hanging with my Dad, and losing cell service that replenishes my strength.

We headed out to Bollinger County, Mo mid-morning this morning; just in time to grab some Subway for lunch and hit the gravel road to PaPa's House.  We surprised PaPa today, which made this visit more exciting than ever.   The kids packed their special bags with "new" things that they were dying to show PaPa, one being their new "dog tags" that they were recently given.   PaPa is a US Army Veteran so they spent some time comparing dog tags and "talking Army".


After all the Army talk, we all loaded up and hit the road for an adventurous afternoon of driving tractors, picking grapes, gathering walnuts, building fence, and spending time with PaPa and Uncle Ben!   What a Day....this Momma is exhausted!  

Oh Yeah! via beckydavenport
I STOLE PaPa's Tractor, don't worry I have experience driving tractors!
