Hands On Goes Virtual!

Who? Students who find themselves wanting to add to their repertoire of Independent Living Skills and want to actively participate in learning, problem solving, and dialog with a small group.

What Will You Do: Each week, ILS Instructors Dawn Leeflang and Bobbi Pompey will share information, skills, tips and tricks related to the theme. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, share your knowledge, and learn from other students. By the end of each session you will have learned new skills that you can immediately begin using in your day-to-day routine.

May 22- Keep it Cute: Maintaining Your Appearance as We Shelter in Place
Hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, waxing businesses, and other grooming/beauty related establishments are now closed as we all shelter in place and do our parts to flatten the curve. But, that does not mean you have to go without. Join us as we discuss several ways of maintaining your personal appearance from the comfort of your own home. We will cover adapted techniques for applying nail polish, trimming split ends, and tweezing your eyebrows. Making a DIY scrub that can be used on your face, hands, or body will be our closing activity. Please be prepared for class with measuring spoons, sugar, honey is desired and oil. Olive, coconut, avocado, jojoba, vitamin E, grape seed, or any other oil that can be used on the skin can be used for this scrub.

Where: Zoom conference calls will be used for each session. Once you haves RSVP’s you will get the dial-in information.

When: Sessions will occur each Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
