Celebrate
Mother's Day at the Spa
Greetings!
"A
mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie
for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie."
-- Tenneva Jordan
"What
to buy, what to buy", you muse. Flowers? Chocolates? Brunch at a
nearby hotel? Mother's Day is May 8, 2005, and the
roadside flower peddlers and end-of-aisle displays will soon be
everywhere. If your mother, wife, daughter, sister, or friend are
the sort that clucks with worry over "You Shouldn't Have!" gifts,
but actually beams with pleasure when receiving them, consider a
Spa Day. There really is no better time of year to reward a
hard-working mother with a day at the spa, or products designed
to sooth and relax. We call it "Nurturing the Nurturer."
All of
the spa members of Spa Index will be happy to discuss Mother's
Day spa day packages and gift certificates with you. Many are
willing to give gifts an extra touch -- a hand-written note, a
special delivery time and place. You need only ask. Use our
"Quick Links" below, to find a Day Spa, Stay Spa, or a Spa
Special in progress. We also have a wonderful contest this month.
Tell us your favorite "Mom Story" and if we select it, you'll
receive a generous $100 gift certificate to be used at Spabox
Apothecary & Gifts, courtesy of Spabox. Happy Mother's Day,
from everyone at Spabox, and all of us at Spa Index Media.

Beauty and Spa To Do List

Melanie Vasseur, cosmetic chemist and founder of the San
Diego-based Vasseur Skincare tells us "Summer will be here
before you know it! Make sure you are ready for the beach weather
with my beauty timeline."
In
April: Start looking for that fabulous swim suit. This will
guarantee you have the biggest selection to choose from so you
get the right style, cut and color for your body shape.
In May: Get your hair cut at the beginning of summer. Why?
It is vital to cut away damage from the lack of moisture during
winter months, blow- drying and flat ironing so you can hit the
beach with hair that is in excellent condition!
In
June: Get a bikini wax to look great for your first summer
trip to the beach! Exfoliate before getting waxed. Exfoliating
gets rid of dead skin cells and allows hair to break through.
Post treatment: Prevent ingrown hairs, caused by dead skin cells,
by exfoliating. Stay out of sun before and after your wax.
Because skin is thinner and more sensitive after waxing, you are
more likely to get burned. Ouch!
In July: Sand can
be harsh, especially for your feet. If you have a pedicure, apply
topcoat before and after you go to the beach. Use a pumice stone
to slough away dead skin and then moisturize with body oil to
keep your soles from getting rough.
In August:
After all those hours at the beach, sunburns are a likely
possibility. To soothe your sunburn, mix equal parts olive oil
and vinegar and apply gently one hour before your bath.
Vasseur Skincare specializes in developing products that
contain essential vitamins and nutrients such as A, C, E,
coenzyme Q10, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Idebenone to combat the
visible signs of aging.
