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.

A 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.
