Tis the season to Party

The Holiday season has arrived with with bells and whistles or rather snow and cold weather.  Now is the time where we are double checking our lists and calendars as there are Holiday school programs to attend, work parties, and family gatherings and they all require us to bring our "A" game.

Glowing Skin

In a previous blog we mentioned the importance of hydration as well as exfoliation for winter skin.  If you want glorious glowing skin, you need to schedule an appointment with one of our Aestheticians, but you also need to eat right whenever possible.  Coffee, Sugar, and Alcohol can all dull the skin, add that to too many late nights and your Holiday pictures won't be as cheery as you would like.

We have a special for a Mini- Facials Consultation for $55.  We also have our Natura Bisse Sparkling Facial which uses a carbolic formula to infuse oxygen into the skin which will leave your facial brighter for that special event.

Schedule at Party

One of our best spa experiences can be shared with friends.  Have a family gathering, and looking for something to do that adds a touch of luxury to your gathering?  Schedule a Spa Party at Radiance Spa!  Massages, Facials, Mani-Pedi's are all available to you during a Spa Party, almost anything from our line of services can be added to your event.  Relax in the Sauna while you wait with your friends, or order lunch up to one of the comfortable and spacious locker rooms.

We also offer His and Her Day's at the Spa (these include mini facial, massage, and mani/pedi's)  Bachelorette and Bachelor Parties, Pre-scheduled treatments for the Bride and/or Groom, Sweet 16, or Pre-Prom Bashes,  and we also have the ability to do Baby Shower parties as well with our Maternity massages.  Other than limiting the number of persons receiving treatment during the event we are happy to talk to you about whatever event you are interested in hosting.  We even can come out to your party or event and offer Chair massages and on site Mani/Pedi's.

Happy Almost Labor Day

We have been encouraging you to enjoy more health conscience choices for better living and improved health, but what do you do on holiday weekends when food will be plentiful, but most of it will not be considered healthy?

Tips:

• Don't skip the event! Being with people and chatting and talking with them is so important to our overall health and wellness.  
• Instead eat something healthy before hand so that you do not eat as much of the less healthy food at the party or event.  
• Bring something you know you will enjoy and that others can enjoy.  Whole grain salads, Fruit Salads, or veggie salads are great options to share with others. 
• Smaller portions- for some of us the desire in our minds can overwhelm our tummy's ability to stretch and when we finally give in we binge.  So take a small spoonful of everything and sample it all. 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember that Radiance Spa is here for your pre-event or post-event pampering.  Please look forward to our future series outlining some of the party options you can plan at Radiance Spa! And if you are going to be out in the sun, stop by and pick up some Coola Sunscreen. 

Now time for a recipe!  I would probably have the cilantro on the side as so many people dislike it, but check out the link as there are lots of pictures.

Summertime

It is hard to believe but it is already August. We have a little less than a month before school restarts and our children are back in class. Many of us have gone on vacation while others are still preparing waiting for our time away. 

But what does summertime mean to you? Did you have a list of home projects that you wanted to complete? Did you plan a wedding or prepare for a baby? How is the list progressing?  Have you accomplished your tasks or are you scratching your head wondering where the time has gone? 

For us we love the summer with its ability to provide us with more time outside and it's slight change in schedules, but we also miss so many of our clients. Summer schedules should give us more time for self care, but we have found that many people end up spending less time on self care due to the changes in their schedules. 

So we encourage you to enjoy your time with family, make memories, and take a moment or two for yourself. And if you are planning a party think of Radiance Spa for a venue or for a bit of relaxation prior to your event.
