How To Create a Place for Relaxation & …

…Get a good night’s sleep!

Today on TV I will share some easy inexpensive and effective ways to create calm when ALL the crazy and beautiful holidays are coming.

My Top Ten List

Select a cozy lounge chair,beautiful lamp and blanket to wrap yourself in.

A zen like statue,subliminal signs like ones that say “RELAX,A day at the Beach,Love,Peace”

Candles battery operated or the real thing.

Salt Lamps good for your health and mood.Just looking at them in your room lit up makes you feel a sense of calm.

Fresh flowers, herbs or orchid plant to purify the air and to go to sleep by.

Spray the room with aromatic room spray scents like lavender & vanilla. The Febreeze brand has come out with a new sleep spray scent.http://www.febreeze.com

Sleep on pillow cases,sheets and blankets that are NOT wild patterns or colors.I love the beautiful spiritual sayings on the pillow cases by http://www.irestmycaseinc.com You may browse and shop them at etsy.com/shop/irestmycaseinc

Tired Eyes,Allergy Eyes or Migraine eyes call for COOL eye mini eye masks just like the DAY SPAS use.

Sleep masks DO WORK and get you in the mood.I love the ones by http://www.marygreen.com

Sipping chamomile tea or warm milk work wonders.

Listen to music like they play at the spas. My fave artists and CD’s are David Young Bliss or Solace and George Skaroulis Sanctuary. You’ve gotta own at least one of these.

Apply a LUXURIOUS lotion that makes you feel good or an herb type towelette that assures relaxation like http://www.herbenessentials.com

I LOVE to surround myself with things that make me happy.

ALL of the above will put you in the mood for REST and a catch some ZZZZZ’s. Share with me what works for you! I always LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

I hope they help you and give you the beauty rest you WILL need!!

An afternoon in Paris~

 Paris…viva la beauty! Ooh la la! Paris is an amazing place.

The Eiffel tower, the decadent patisseries, the shopping, spas and oh so much more. I adore Paris!

After a day of shopping and gambling, yes gambling I retreat to a peaceful place. Yes, I am in Paris however; it is the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. If you have never been now is the time.

 I love the Paris Hotel and the casino but I am getting to now know the SPAAAAAAAAAAH!

The Eiffel Tower towers over this beautiful hotel lined with cobblestone streets just like Europe. As I enter the spa I am charmed by the kind and caring staff that greets me. She allows me peruse the menu and decide what I really want to partake of. NOT PUSHY.

She noticed I have a fresh haircut, nice manicure and says my skin is lovely. She was not sure what I wanted. I chose the “DAY PASS”…for $25.00 I can relax and renew in the spa from that morning until 7:00 that weekday evening.

If you have never been to a real spa not a salon that offers a paraffin treatment or massage. A day SPA is a very special place. 

Here is my PASSPORT to Beauty and what you will find on your spa day here:  

            A locker holds your personal things and you are given a fresh robe and slippers in just your size. This is what you will wear all day. You may enjoy the spa naked or bathe in a bathing suit/bikini. The staff shows you around and tells you everything you need to know. Fresh towels and cold wet washcloths to cool off with are waiting for you.

Sauna

Whirlpool bath/Jacuzzi

Steam room to detoxify

 Once you start your journey in one of the above, you are on your way and transported to the other side. RELAXATION. The music is just right here…no whale music sounds… pretty and delightful to my ears. As an educator/ consultant for the spa and beauty industry all over the country and as a beauty business owner it is so nice to be on the other side.

You can also book a service for a facial, massage, haircut, manicure, pedicure or detoxifying special bath, or you can enjoy the relaxation or meditation room and do the above. The lighting is low and the mood is quiet. The staff almost whispers in the spa area. No talking aloud…think the library.

 At my finger tips were:

Chinese Green tea filled with antioxidants to keep healthy and hydrated.

Cool lemon spa water

Colombian coffee (I wish they served a more authentic one like French coffee like a café au lait or a French roast blend.)

Giant red apples

Fresh bananas were ready to bite into!

It is a petite cozy place in the Mandara Spa as it is called and a truly nice way to treat myself and escape. I already feel my blood pressure lowering and my mind was able to shut off all the work and stress of the travel day.

My favorite product is the Elemis brand Exotic Frangipani Monoi moisture melt. If you have ever been on a cruise, the ships feature these products and a variety of wonderful services. I love the warm hair treatment and scalp massage that they use the above with. If you buy it, you can continue the magic at home. This product is so addictive and can be used all over your body. I also love it as it reminds me of my trips to Hawaii and the islands.

The moisture melt also can take your cares away and can be used for a massage (my husband loves it) it can also be used to give yourself a moisturizing foot conditioner and hand treatment.

The Elemis Detox BATH treatment is yet another beauty gem by Elemis that I so enjoyed another trip in my own private room and bath with candles and rose petals.

After my spa day, I went to the Le Madeleine Patisserie and bought a creamy and dreamy hot chocolate and a French decadent tomato and cheese tart. It was to die for!

Las Vegas is an awesome place. You do not need a lot of money to enjoy all it has to offer. Just like the famous and fun master, Walt Disney has created Disney world and had a vision for children and adults alike. So did all the masterminds who created Las Vegas.

Next time you are in L.V. don’t just drink, party and gamble…enjoy pampering and renewing wonderful you.

Explore beyond your hotel room door.

There is a sweet retreat waiting for you! Make it a Girlfriends Weekend or DAY Getaway and enjoy the fabulous escape that is Paris! Las Vegas that is!

“The art of doing nothing”…I want to major in it at least once a month in a spa somewhere.” How about you?
