Cheers! Everyone Knows Your Name!

/in /by

Remember the TV sitcom Cheers? The show takes place in a historical tavern in Boston. It is lauded as the place where you want to go, because everybody knows your name and they are always glad you came.

As corny as it sounds, this is how I feel about the place where I work. I came in late today, feeling really tired from all of the hullabaloo that this season demands. And the first person I see is Nicole, who gives me a big hug. We spend a minute admiring her brand new engagement ring (so happy – she’ll be the best wife ever)! Then I give and receive hugs from Linda (I’ve never had a boss who I like to hug so much!). I check in with Kaci at the desk – her first baby is due soon. I know from experience how precious it is to experience Christmas while expecting a child; there is a kinship to Mary and the baby Jesus that makes this season so special.

Speaking of babies, Lisa is a new aunt to a chubby little 2 day old named Mabel, and we ooh and ahh over the photos. Charlotte brings a new flatbread snack for everyone to try, and Scott passes out samples of gourmet coffee.

All of a sudden, I realize that an hour has passed and I am feeling great! How many people can say that going into work has made their day better? As I write this, I feel completely and utterly blessed.

I may not be in a historical tavern in Boston drinking a beer; however, a historical salon in Collinsville that serves up coffee and love is a perfect place for me.

I’m glad I don’t need to change my name to “Norm!” to keep my Cheers this season!

Sip & Snip: The Shak’s Got Java

/in , /by

Sizzor Shak is proud to announce the newest addition to their wide variety of services: ORGANIC GOURMET COFFEE! They call it Java Shak! And it couldn’t come at a better time with winter approaching. Anyone who talked about this project to owner, Scott Weber, has been more than likely chomping at the bean to get this machine up & running.

Weber did his homework, sampling coffee after coffee to bring you the best cup on the market right here to Sizzor Shak Salon & Color Spa in Collinsville, IL! “Our machine grinds up the freshly roasted beans for each individual cup purchased,” says Weber, “ensuring that you get the best quality, bold flavor with every sip!”

In fact, the Shak Girls now describe the coffee they’ve kept in their cabinets at home as “tasting like dirt,” compared to the organic gourmet Java Shak coffee. “You need to experience it for yourself to understand!” Java Shak coffee is organic, low-acidic, very aromatic, & so smooth.

Head into “The Shak” today to get a cup of your own! Regular, Light, or Decaf (Swiss Water Processed) is only $1.25 for a 12oz cup. They also have Cappuccino, Cafe Mocha, Hot Chocolate, & French Vanilla for $1.75 for a 12oz cup.

If that’s just not enough for you, you can purchase 12oz airtight sealed bags of whole bean, ground, or even flavored Java Shak cofee right inside Sizzor Shak. You can also visit JavaShak.com to purchase the bags of coffee online & have it shipped to you or someone else as a gift.

So next time you’re in Collinsville, swing by Sizzor Shak Salon & Spa, relax at their bistro tables, access their free Wifi, & sip on a cup of joe!
