VALENTINE'S DAY SPA EVENT NYC

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show your loved ones how much you care. While chocolates, flowers, and jewelry are always a nice gesture, consider something a little more unique and indulgent this year.

Mobile Spa services are a luxurious and relaxing way to treat your loved ones without having to step outside. From Facials to Manicures and Pedicure services, there are many different on-location spa services available to choose from. Mobile Chair massage services are popular and performed while you are seated in a specially designed chair. This type of massage is perfect for people who have limited time or mobility, and it is a great way to give your loved one a mini-vacation from the stresses of daily life. Continue to pamper your darling with manicures and pedicures! Not only will they look and feel great, but having a manicure and pedicure can also improve the health of their nails.

And lastly, enhance their natural features and achieve a desired look with make-up and hair services. A professional makeup artist can help to create a flawless look following the latest trends and styles. You can arrange for all the mobile services together, or separately. Either way, your loved one is sure to appreciate the thought and care that you put into their gift. Love is in the air, and all relaxed and beautiful, you are now ready for a special Valentine's Day dinner!

AFFORDABLE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS IDEAS

Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.

Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.

• We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.

• Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.

• There is always something for everyone! Everyone can be pampered with different services, including Chair Massages, Mini-Facials, Manicures, Pedicures as well as Hair Styling and Make-Up demonstrations. Even a 5-minute hand massage works wonders.

• Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.

WINTER SKIN CARE: LOVE THY FACE

“Love your face” is what my sisters and I would say to each other when buying skincare products, especially in the cold, dry, winter months.  The cold-dry air takes away a thin layer of oil that traps moisture in the skin.  So, here are some simple tips we put together to keep your skin healthy and happy during the frosty  months.

1.  Moisturize, moisturize…. and then MOISTURIZE.  Up your daily routine for all over moisturizing.

2.  Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.  Without proper H20, skin turns dry, tight, and flakey, making it less resident and more prone to wrinkling.  It is recommended that you consume 8 glasses of water a day.  Remember, your skin is the largest organ of the human body.  

3.  Take lukewarm showers/baths and reduce your soaking time.  Hot showers and baths will strip your skin’s moisture.  

4.  Use gentle skin cleansers and avoid harsh scrubs.  Moisturizing post bath while  the skin is still damp will maximize absorption into your skin.

5.  Avoid harsh face peels, scrubs, masks, and astringents that are alcohol based.  Gentler skin products do less damage and won’t dry out your skin the way harsh products do.

6.  Remember your sun block!  During cold months, people are more prone to windburn.  Windburn is, ironically caused by the SUN.  Apply sun block daily; this should be part of your skin care routine year-round.

7.  Dress appropriately for the winter with thick scarves and hats.  Wear comfortable, loose fitting garments made of breathable cotton fabric.  Avoid harsh wools or polyesters directly on your skin that can cause chaffing of the skin.  

8.  Mind your hands.  The skin on your hands is thinner than other parts of the body and has less oil glands, making your hands more susceptible to winter drying.  So, not only should you wear gloves, but you should have hand lotion with you at all times.

9.  Remember to exercise. Exercise has a lot of benefits including reducing stress, which causes eczema flare-ups.  Exercise is not only good for stress relief, but is obviously good for the body. Working out comes in various forms including yoga, ice skating, or running.  Everyone’s routine is different; it is important to keep strong and have fun at the same time.

10. Get spa treatments.  Seriously—this may be a shameless plug but it is important to PRIMP!  Getting a manicure, massage, or facial keeps the body vibrant and promotes wellness all year round, especially when we are trying to fight the winter blues.
