Shannen Doherty is back! With her own reality television show and Spa-Go's team will perform manicures and pedicures the eve of her and pro celebrity photographer, Kurt Iswarienko's, wedding. I can't tell you what happens, but you'll definitely be on the edge of your seat!

Spa-Go's served up organic manicures and pedicures to the group, setting the backyard up in spa style with our luxury wheat colord fabrics and organza bows. Only the best in products were used, such as our favorite lotion and sanitizer line by EO and all polishes were by OPI.

Our star therapists began each treatment with a lovely French lavender salt soak with lots of bubbles, each by EO... and finished with a rejuvenating massage using EO's lavender lotion. Shannen and her guests enjoyed Spa-Go's OPI polish caddy, with over 30 polishes, glitters and designer colors.

The mother of the bride chose OPI's "Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ" and Shannen, the bride, chose a soft pink shade, also by OPI, called "Be Mine".

The party was held in Malibu, backyard poolside and appetizers were served by a private chef. Tune in to see the show... Coming soon on WE TV. Don't miss us... The Shannen Doherty Project.

END OF LIFE CALLS

2011-07-30T20:10:00.000-07:00

I know it seems strange to most, but End of Life is part of life and Spa-Go's has studied for two years ways in which we can make it better. There are many ways to spend end of life. You may say, I think I'm covered. But you are probably talking about your "death", what your plans are after you die... End of life is before you die, but generally a time when you are sedentary and life is less than optimal. End of life can occur at all ages, unfortunately. End of life is as important as your baby years and important decisions need to be thought, recorded and put in place. We never really know when we will be at the mercy of others to fulfill our needs and lifestyle, when we cannot. Here are a few helpful points:

What type of music, food, flowers, scents, personal care products and various fabrics should be recorded. Not everyone is the same and if you don't choose some type of routine for yourself. What type of bed do you want to relax in, quality of sheets, pillows, even if you are moved from your home. If you don't specify, you will undoubtedly get nursing home bleached sheets, a white blanket or whatever someone has around, no seasonal fresh flowers, a varied diet that is more for the masses or easy for the caretaker and music? it will be what the household enjoys, not what you enjoy.

List each point of what is your most basic lifestyle and make a plan.

1) One hour of musical therapy a day would be nice. Go for two hours. Vary it and make sure you make a recording or have the music in question. The memory recall at times of stress, age or disease is tremendous in lifting the spirit.

2) Tea Therapy.. during times of stress, teas can bring a new amount of healing and health. What are your favorites? Have you ever had real tea? My favorite is Lavender Earl Grey.. We sell it, just ask me. I like Monkey Paw too and Apricot for cold teas. I think there is nothing more healing than a gorgeous vintage cup of hot tea. It just feels right.

3) A varied schedule of fresh flowers bedside is recommended and I recommend finding a florist that will bring you fragrant flowers, the sense of smell can be limited, but our sense of smell is very deep. We don't know if we can still benefit from the aromatherapy even if we cannot smell the essence. I believe we will still benefit at a deeper level due to the strength of the natural inhalation elements.

4) I have recorded a various amount of textile therapies to be draped in. I want to feel silk until the day I die, flannel on a rainy day and my satin pillow case. Please consider fabric as therapy when you can't have this.

5) I recommend an aromatherapy machine which you can get for $50 and under. You can then have real aromatic essences full of life dispersed throughout your room or house. Once you smell a room of lavender or roses from essential oils, your can of scent freshener will be tossed, guaranteed.

6) Pet therapy. I love pets, I can't imagine never being offered a chance to have the energy of a pet in my life, if I am bed ridden. I am sure I am the type, since growing up with animals, that would be lifted with the presence of an animal.

7) I don't like Mexican chicken and take out. I have to have lots of my favorites. Does someone know your favorites? Do they know what juice you like? Do you enjoy a certain alcohol? No you may not have alcohol in your diet, but it's sometimes nice to have a sip for celebration or a rub on your lips. I had a client who enjoyed whiskey and we would brush it on his pancakes, so little, but he loved it and the doctor allowed. His grandma's whiskey pancake recipe lived on until he left us. Make sure you have various elements of food listed so you can be served your favorites. Of course the doctor will let you know in the end, if you are sick, but if you are not sick, just ill, you may be allowed anything you like. Yogurt for me, fresh juice, preferable vegetarian diet. Can't live without my breads and sweets. Indian pastries. Redi Whip. Champagne.. Horehound candy, Lavender candies. Fudge from Mackinaw Island. Fresh Fruit.. Tacos soft fried with ground meat, cilantro and green onions. Or take out from my fav. bakery and restaurants. I need I need, as Bob Wiley would say. It's the little things...

8) Perfumes, colognes, fragrances... I don't know how many seniors who have bland no fragrance brands. I realize that some hospitals require no scent, but in home is ok. You can blend your own and enjoy natural essential oil fragrances without alchol or spritzs. Enjoy moisturizers as the skin during stress becomes dehydrated and needs moisture. Lips need moisture. You may need to direct those to apply these things to you because they are not "medically necessary", it is more of a higher quality of lifestyle. Bath with shea butter soap, moisturizer added after bath, dusting with powder and his favorite cologne applied. It's also an element of routine that many feel they have started their day and it uplifted the spirit.

9) Books, Movies, Pictures on video, Books on tape. Companions, game players, walking attendants... Entertainment! One of our clients hired a burlesque dancing monthly. Each month I think it is the only time I saw him smile. Women tend to like more of a tea and sweets presentation. But we are lifting the spirit and bringing the pleasure of life to the front. Circulation of the mind. It's necessary.

10) Personal services: massage schedule, manicure/pedicure schedule, hair cuts, facials, a barber or salon feel. You may wish to consider what services you want to have if you are not able to schedule. I have a lifestyle of weekly massage and monthly mani/pedis, quarterly facials and quarterly hair services. Minimum. I think the visits are as healing and uplifting as the service itself and when left without... well. Let's just say I would suggest having someone sent to pluck those whiskers ladies. :) No seriously... Medical care is not the same as personal care givers. There has always been a staffing issue at nursing homes and at hospice times or with old age. Not any more. Spa-GO's has the staff and we want to cater to all of life.

11) Spa-GO's recommends taking a spare room and making it your zen room for personal services. We can help you and make sure you get the best out of placing the elements you desire within. We also recommend if you are a senior you consider making sure that room is wheel chair accessible for down the road. This way, less change and more enjoyment. Having a salon and spa room increases property value too! Win-win.

12) Sunshine. Make sure you have a window and you put that you wish to have some sunshine upon you if you can't direct. Sunshine has vitamins and unknown benefits of power. It's one of those natural wonders and you will want some sunshine therapy.

13) A gourmet chef that specializes in food therapies and juicing. This is a bonus if you have the money, but diet is crucial in recovery or in life sustaining. Your health is connected to your intake, mental and diet intakes.

14) Fresh air: you will want to make sure you have access to fresh airstream. Sometimes the air is so saturated with chemicals from treatment, cleaning, disinfecting... A clean air supply is the ultimate in a higher level of care and wellness.

15) Prayer and Blessings: You will want to consider meditation, inspirations or a prayer guide. You can have a private guide to help you with your spiritual needs and add and increase the love you have and what to do with your feelings during this time. Having someone to connect to is crucial in releasing and empowering the mind.

16) Musical Harp Therapies: Vibrational therapies such as harp therapies are an amazing gift to those struggling with depression, end of life, recovery. When having the energy of the harpist or musician focused on the ill or specific person it's an amazing reiki experience. That's the best way I can describe it, a rush! When we are passing on or just struggling with an issue vibrational energy can radiate through us, heal from within. A new yet powerful discoverly, actually..not new, but just now gaining recognition. I would recommend this as needed. It is a bit expensive but not only heals the person in need, heals the household.

IS YOUR NAIL POLISH FREE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS?

2011-07-25T15:12:00.000-07:00

The picture on the top are my nails after 1 week of using a product that is new on the market and guarantees itself to be free of all toxic chemicals. The nails on the bottom are an image I found where the nails had been long time damaged by formaldehyde product, nail polish.

I purchased last year 535.00 of this "new" nail polish line. After removing my polish a week and a half later, my entire nail beds were so yellow. I buffed and bleached and tried all the remedies. I called the "nail polish company" and they assured me their polishes were safe. They then said they would refund me. REFUND NEVER CAME! In fact, not only did the refund never come, the owner of this line said eventually that the boxes I returned went to the wrong address and all but a few bottles were broken (96 bottles). She refused to let UPS inspect and left me hanging out to dry! Her associate told me they had located the agent and the color I had used had "yellowing" within it and would I please reconsider returning their products.

LONG STORY... I didn't get my money back, didn't get the few unbroken bottles back and have sent the paperwork off to my lawyer. What can I tell you.. 1) buy a known product, when you are applying any type of product, your health may be at risk. 2) small companies that are up and coming mean well, but are they really doing the necessary testing and can they afford to make the claims the larger companies make? 3) get refund or return policies in writing and make sure you are dealing with local vendors because dealing with companies across state lines can be tricky. 4) Call the FDA to report a company you feel is a threat or danger to the public's consumption.

I can tell you OPI, Essie, China Glaze, Zoya and others sold in your beauty and supply store are safe and I have never had any reaction to me or any of my customers. I can't tell you who the "bad polish" came from until my lawyer handles this case. I consider it a rip off and karma does prevail. If you wait long enough.

Please make sure you use a base coat to protect your nails from any harm and also make sure you use a reputable line. If they can't guarantee their product, offer you a refund if you purchase and won't give this to you in writing or offer it on their online website, PROCEED WITH CAUTION, regardless of how nice they are, how nice their site looks, or whether they are a solid "family" promoting themselves as honorable. Long term formaldehyde ingestion can be very damaging not to just your nails, but your organs. THANK GOD I took the polish off and even though I have, at this time, lost $535 to this company, I didn't lose my health and I didn't end up using or selling it to my valuable customer base. BEWARE.... crappy products are out there and some owners do not stand by their products and think they can swallow your money.

Stay tuned, after we go through the courts, I will be telling you what line was used so you can either avoid them or you can make sure you get a guarantee from them if your nails turn yellow for a full refund.

TURN UP THE MUSIC

2011-02-05T09:51:00.000-08:00

Just a few words to write to you about MUSIC THERAPY... Music is therapy. You don't have to play an instrument to enjoy music. From pre-born infants to the end of our lives, music is a wonderful resource to have in life. When I created the Spa-Go's menu of services I realized adding interesting healing music was key to an extra wonderful service. To hear the native American Indians chant and express their culture and dance, to have a meditative service, quiet but for a cultural infusion into my own body. A wave of energy from the music and the hands.

Taking it one step further. Putting various world themes into Spa-Go's menu, ancient and modern. Have you ever had a manicure/pedicure to Sade? Have Cocktail Jazz play on for a party with mini polish changes... Japanese quiet inspired flutes and chimes infused with a shiatsu service. Incredible.

I believe music in our lives need to be fed to us like nutrition for our bodies to run. What type of music should be heard and how often. To formulate a schedule for your own self, your mind, to relax to, to be inspired by, to pump up your day to.... is key to a really great life. Music makes you healthier, music is therapy, music helps the life force.

Some recommendations from our services are as follows:

Van Morrison's Poetic Champions Compose (great for all services)

Tao Of Healing by Dean Evenson & Li Xiangting

Disney Instruments

Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits

Elton John, The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd

Cirque Du Soleil's Tapas Rouge

Loreena McKennitt's Book of Secrets

Gabriel Roth & The Mirrors (african tribal drumming)

R. Carlos Nakai & William Eaton with theBlack Lodge Singers, THE BEST!

and others... So get tuned in today, and TURN UP THE MUSIC!

CEDAR SINAI MEDICAL CENTER REPORTS MASSAGE IS GOOD FOR YOU!!

2010-10-10T21:07:00.000-07:00

Devotees of massage therapy know it's relaxing and feels good. But massage may also be an effective tool for maintaining good health. Researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center reported this week that a single massage produced measurable changes in the immune system and endocrine system of healthy adults.

The researchers, led by Dr. Mark Rapaport, studied 29 healthy adults who received a 45-minute Swedish massage and 24 healthy adults who had a 45-minute session of light touch massage, a much milder exercise that served as a comparison to the more vigorous Swedish massage. Blood samples were taken before the massage began and at regular intervals up to one hour after the massage was completed.

The study found several changes in the blood tests of the Swedish massage group that indicated a benefit to the immune system. For example, Swedish massage caused sizeable decreases in arginine vasopressin, a hormone that contributes to aggressive behavior, and small decreases in the stress hormone cortisol. The Swedish massage participants also had an increase in lymphocytes, cells that help the immune system defend the body from harmful substances.

"This research indicates that massage doesn't only feel good, it also may be good for you," Rapaport said in a news release. "People often seek out massage as part of a healthy lifestyle but there hasn't been much physiological proof of the body's heightened immune response following massage until now."

The study appears in the October issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

ORGANIC M OF THE FACE MUD MASK FACIALS WITH SPA-GO'S

2010-09-18T12:42:00.000-07:00

THIS LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO GROW UP TO BE A MUD THERAPY LOVER FOR SURE!!!

M OF THE FACE – The Mud Mask For Men & Women – is made of pure, natural mineral saline mud which is obtained during the extraction process from the salt and clay rock at Berchtesgaden salt mine with the addition of the natural salt water only. M OF THE FACE contains no other additives or preservatives.

The source of this mineral salt water is several hundred meters below ground level and is thus absolutely safe from adverse environmental effects.

The mask obtained from the mineral water and the mineral clay rock is a homogeneous material with a soft, pliable paste like consistency, similar to marine mud or fango.

The product is used as a face mask for thorough cleansing and cosmetic care. The salt concentration is 6 to 8 times higher than that of marine salt water and thus promotes osmotic stimulation of the skin metabolism, boosting the natural regulatory function of the epidermis.

PRICING: $225 per hour and $350 for 90 minutes with added massage time
HOME LINE: $225 for 5 piece collection (cleanse, peel, mask, moisturizer, day cream and sponges)

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PERSONAL ASSISTANTS AND ORGANIZERS

2010-06-29T15:53:00.000-07:00

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT! But it's true. Spa-Go's provides healthy lifestyle personal assistants, the extra two hands you have always wanted... Our personal assistants are screened to meet your needs and qualifications and are practicing a healthy lifestyle. This way, if you are striving to live a healthier lifestyle, having someone beside you that has the same goal creates a better chance for success. Our assistants come with minimal skills and can perform private errand and shopping duties to advanced skills in the banking and business sectors. We have multi-lingual and some have healing arts training.

Spa-Go's provides training to your already beloved staff, so that they can take care of you better! You pay the training costs and they come and learn and are given a certificate and... you now have a housekeeper that can give an amazing 25 point foot reflexology massage. Give her an additional $10 for her hour's time and I bet she will love the break in her day to play with the products and oils and helping you relax. It's a whole new world!

(write me for my class list, I teach over 80 healing arts and instructional classes.. I think everyone should know a few to impress their friends and family with, not to forget that special someone. Learn simple massages to shiatsu, thai stretching, easy cleansing facials and how to do a top notch mani/pedi, plus more!).

Spa-Go's also can provide someone to organize your garage, make sure no unsafe material is within it, and organize your closets.

While running the business, Shaina and myself have discovered the most amazingly skilled professionals. To be a licensed healing arts therapist, you have to be background checked thoroughly by the police departments and the State. If they aren't and you wish a background check to be performed, we'll handle the details.

We only charge $10/hour on the head of their salary. If you wish to hire them from us, for your full time staffer, we only take $350 if they been with us less than a month and 20% of their yearly salary if they have been with us over 30 days. We know the BEST people in LA and if we don't have the right person, WE'LL FIND THEM!

This program is perfect for someone struggling with addictions and a support person that can help out as well, is the best for getting back on track.

We love matching up super cool people that can enhance your life and lifestyle. That's what life is about, LIVING! Living the best life possible.

Next week, I'll tell you about our scrap booking stylists... If you are like me and have your pictures and memories in a box some where, and all your to-do lists say that you want to put them in beautiful memory books and display your loved ones... you won't want to miss my next blog. I also have a new mud to talk about (i just had a Moor spa Austrian facial... OMG!), that's to come too...

PERSONAL TRAINING IS NECESSARY FOR THE BEST HEALTH

2010-06-26T21:26:00.000-07:00

Everyone should have a personal trainer, someone who monitors the strength, flexibility and percentage of fat. It is so hard in LA to not over do it... From the fantastic food and drinks, the cupcake shops alone will kill any diet. Did you know Spa-Go's has personal trainers? Yes! Spa-Go's has personal trainers, yoga instructors, yoga and healing harp sessions and pilates experts. Your group can even customize a day of health related mini spa services and a day of introductory yoga, pilates and boot camp experiences to ease your workers into a healthier lifestyle.

Families, offices, parties and events can now have parties and include wellness services that make attending fun and pampering. Not everyone takes the time to get their services in today's hustle and bustle. A little spa treat is the best treat a host can give their guests. An office survey says a little massage is better than a Turkey at thanksgiving time. One of our customers who added a relaxation retreat suite at their location says increased mood, spirit and positive attendance spiked and felt that their employee actually cared about their well being and their stress levels, not just about their health. They felt their employee understood they were motivated by their spirit. Without much time to decompress at home with their family and then after work with their children's programs, dinner and then an hour of television and to bed. Adding a wellness program is known for making better relationships at the office.

Have Spa-Go's at your next event. Rates are $125/hour plus a 20% gratuity.

Charity parties are priced at $100-125/hour. Remember, your per guest pricing is dependent upon how long each of your guests stays in the station or you determine how long you wish your guest to be treated.

For example, if you have 6 guests and you want them to pick two 15 minute spa treats off the menu you have selected, that would be 30 minutes per guest or 3 hours of service time. $125x3=$375.00 for a party of 6 to have a half hour each, two minis. GREAT SPA DEAL! That is just $62.50 per guest. (plus gratuity).

Employers...turn your corporate meeting room into a spa lounge for the day and reward your employees with corporate massages and spa services.

SHIATSU, REIKI & YOGA IMPROVE YOUR ENERGY

2010-06-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

Today I am going to blog about inner peace and wellness. So many of our services are based on skin, hair, make-up, teeth color; your public and personal image. But to be truly healthy you must take the time to adjust your inner health and wellness. Proper thinking, proper nutrition, proper rest and peace of mind. All of these things factor into how you feel and how you react and thus how you look. We'll be addressing three services that help with energy, balancing energy and receiving a boost of energy...

Life can become so busy that we are only reacting to all the decisions that are listed on our to do list. No where on that list is a plan of success and action for our own mental health and wellness. Seeking therapeutic psychotherapy, our angel reader, palm readers, mediums or energy balancing are for those to use... as a tool...to gain insight and help reflect your own ideals and your own determinations. Working with someone to help you get there, safely, and with the least amount of scrapes, bruises, and stitches is better. I tend to recognize my own ill mood like others recognize a cold coming on. I say, I feel off and I dial 911 to my own rescue therapists. I use various healers for various symptoms of my self. Having a sense of others involved when I need a boost has been key to keeping everyone and everything going. Most don't know I parented my children alone, traveled across the world alone and began this company, alone... It's taken immense commitment, incredible forgiveness and heightened insight of who I am and where I am going. Most of us are alone in life.

Life is hard! Relationships are hard! Taking time for yourself is hard! It can be scheduled and Spa-Go's can help you do that with our lifestyle program. Scheduling in your life so that you don't go 10 years and say, "I miss having a yoga session in my day", or "I miss having regular feel good detoxification massages", "I've gained 10# this year", "I'm now smoking a pack a day and drinking a bottle of wine a night, not good..." SCHEDULE YOUR LIFE! We offer 10% off all services when booking for your year. For example: 12 massages a year; 12 manicures/pedicures; 12 energy balances and boosts; 52 fitness and 52 yoga sessions; 6 hair care sessions and 12 facials. That's cool, you are set. You will now have invested in something that gives you greater pleasure than a material object.

When we are not feeling well about ourselves, internally, it begins to shift our energy downward. You need energy to travel up and travel down throughout your body. Your need to have peace in your life to rejuvenate. Shiatsu, Yoga and Reiki are the best energy treatments and wellness forms to use in maintaining and living "in touch" with yourself internally. More than massage even. A combination of all is optimal wellness. Your "self" is your greatest asset in life and good health is the key to a very long life.

Energy services such as Reiki, Shiatsu and Yoga have been practiced and used for millions of years. Documented in almost all cultures, some earlier than others. It is documented that your ENERGY is the true key to your health, your luck, your success and your relationship with yourself and others. The Chinese call it chi, Japanese call it ki, Americans and Western Europe call it energy. Shiatsu is a system of pressing and rubbing, rolling, rocking and stimulating the body from inside out. The vibrations and pressing helps to stimulate the energy, right through the center of the body,into the organs, the joints.

I created a Shiatsu service, called East-West that incorporates gentle overall body pressure point work, rolling the limbs through my hands, tapping and rocking the body back and forth and up and down. I use aromatherapy to stimulate the room and the mental energy through inhalation. I use gentle stretching to simulate yogic postures that are gentle and to the limits of the joints. It is accompanied with Japanese music by Kitaro. It's a fantastic treatment.

HAVE AN ENERGY PARTY. SHIATSU, YOGA OR REIKI PARTY... Sushi, Sake and Shiatsu, where each guest receives a mini shiatsu service. This service is equal to our office mini choice where each worker gets an opportunity to choose a variety of treatments. The shiatsu one, remarkably, is the favorite, over chair massage or back massages. Why? Because it stimulates and relaxes the entire body, head to toe. I end the service with a steamed towel to the feet or the face. Absolutely our healthiest service.

Book a shiatsu now and SAVE $40! June special, on sale for the same price as a Swedish. $125/hour; $187.50/90 minutes. Corporate and families may share the hour into 4 ways, no additional cost. Call our office 818/249-7724.

MOROCCAN JOURNEY STAYCATION ANYONE?

2010-05-21T14:09:00.000-07:00

We just received a call for our amazing Moroccan Journey specialty massage. I thought it a great time to remind everyone that spring is a great time to have a combined body scrub and massage service. Summer is here and with ladies jumping into their bikinis buffing off the winter dull dry skin... is a must!

Our Moroccan Journey experience is a specialty massage created by master healing artist and lifestyle expert Anne Fisher. In ancient times water was scarce due to the desert land and travelers would be bathed and rubbed with oils for cleaning. Oils were used prior to soaps in and are still recommended today for cleaning those with very dry and delicate skin conditions or the elderly where showering is difficult if not impossible.

The Moroccan Journey begins with a wonderful salt water bath and relaxing herbal scrub, head to toe. After you are scrubbed you will receive a special massage using exotic oils. Far away sounds play and your journey ends with a blessing of peace and health. A tranquil, calm, spiritual experience.

Enjoy Spa-Go's "Moroccan Journey" today. Call 818/249-7724 for bookings.

DEPRESSION KILLS THE SPIRIT AND THE BODY

2010-05-08T18:22:00.000-07:00

Boy, today was a hard day. Without going into my problems with my children too much, I'll tell you that every mother has her day, or a few, or more than a few... Today was mine. A hard lesson was learned. I saw it coming. We, as parents, often do see it coming, like a slow train wreck. What can we do? For years I feel as if I have been the family crier or the parking attendant for fender benders. I am still, also, making my own mistakes in life, do we ever stop? Life can be hard and the blame of your children upon the top of your own blame, ugh! Brutal!!!

It's hard not to let it get you down. You feel yourself sinking, questioning yourself, why weren't you smart enough, good enough, rich enough, fit enough and talented enough to not get the other end of someone elses bad mood and projected anger.

How could you let someone like this stand beside you and if it is family... well, we'll be seeing each other again. Hold you tongue. It is so hard not to want to SCREAM, YELL YOUR FEELINGS BACK, BE HEARD! But that will get you no where.

What can you do to stop yourself from spiraling downward and into those places of unhealthiness? Sometimes, others are seeking to attack and destroy you during their own crisis, they have very limited coping skills. Sometimes we try and bring ourselves down with our internal negative voice. A holiday, bad dream, memory, loss... it just adds up.

I'm always wearing other people's badges of blame. I must play the blame game so well. Maybe I project the attitude, "Hey, I'm an easy target, blame it on me!" Now deep down I know that is not true. And today, I got so blasted by a loved one that I thought here I go, I'm so sad I want to just die!

But that's not the answer. So I take focus, take control of my emotions and my center. I go back to my training at the famed Kripalu Institute in Lenox, Massachusetts. Instead of drinking my way to the next day like my father did or popping pills waiting for the r-e-l-a-x to take place like my mother did or singing a creepy song under my breath like my sister did. My out, before I learned to deep breath through my feelings was yelling and arguing and reasoning and ultimately running away! I still go through the thoughts of those instant early childhood learned escapes first, I have to reprogram myself and reel myself back in, self control...It has taken alot of awareness and practice and mind control to learn this healthier method of dealing with my emotions. We don't know until we are taught. Well, I learned long ago by my mentors and instructors at Kripalu to stop all of that and just TAKE A DEEP BREATH. And you know what??? It works and it's FREE!

Take a deep breath and talk to myself. Talk to myself like I do in meditation. Reaffirming that I am great, I am loved, I have worth and value, I know the truth and I am human. I have feelings and I will be my own best friend right now. I have done nothing wrong, or admitting to what I have done and asking for forgiveness and self acceptance to move forward. Breathe.......... In and Out........ Life force is breath, taking it in and releasing with it the negative words, angry spirit and respecting yourself. Honoring yourself. Shut down and take in your own nourishment. You don't have to visit a doctor to do this, or stop driving if you are on the freeway and feeling that rage. No need to yell or scream, hit or attack back. Don't throw things or fire back with a sharp tongue. Just stay quiet, breath and relax.

When you know yourself and have a relationship with yourself, take care of yourself, guide yourself, you are a powerful friend. You are the most powerful, important friend you have.

Massage is also good for changing your mood during a bout of depression, self attack or friendly fire by others.... A facial, manicure, pedicure, all gives you the brief moment of someone else's energy, their spirit is infused in you. A human service, chat, touch and moment of companionship is one of the best things to do for yourself when you feel a bit sad, off, or blue.

You can order services in, so you don't even have to drive.. Spa-Go's serves those needing a compassionate hand with our angel care service. We have assistants, platonic lifestyle companions and organizers that can come out and spend time with you while they work or go to a movie. Get a fresh outlook, don't stay and be alone if you don't want to be. Doctors recommend fitness, walking and stimulation of circulation when you are depressed to release feel good endorphins.

Spa-Go's does recommend seeking medical attention if you feel you are going to hurt yourself or others or are in an emergency state and feel you should see your own physician. But for the normal bad days and blue or sad moments, call Spa-Go's Mobile Day Spa.. We'll make you feel better!

We never smudge afterwards because we are already home!

THE VALUE OF TIME...PRICELESS

2009-09-10T16:00:00.000-07:00

THE VALUE OF THREE HOURS…. PRICELESS!

My hair is good and plenty! It takes my entire day to go off to the hairdressers, park and sit there. Bored. Not today though. The 3 to 5 hours I spend on my hair, I’m getting back. I’m having my hair appointment in my own home. Can't you just see me with my feet up, drinking my coffee? Getting cut, colored and styled in front of my own television while I work?? Heaven! I hate going anywhere anymore... I hate the traffic, I hate the crazy LA drivers, I hate parking, I hate the dirty streets, and most of all... I hate having to sit next to others and chat about nothing when I could be doing other things. A true LA execu-diva!

I don’t want to sit in a beauty salon. Many do, and that’s great… But I don’t. I want to stay home and work. A bit of agoraphobia or just plain convenience or maybe I'm a workaholic? Who knows, and who really cares. Mobile services are taking over for just the reasons I listed above. More people than myself feel the very same way. Why should they remove themselves from their safe and gorgeous surroundings to drive into the city, park and be hustled through a shop. I have a hot tub, I have a steam shower, I have a spa room, I have a lovely area, much better than any spa where I share my experience with others. I don’t want that experience. I want an experience of safety, privacy, easy convenience, and best yet... hygienically all mine.. I want everything in life, or as much as possible, to come to me. Delivered everything. I don’t have time to shop, don’t have time to run errands, don’t want to use what time I have left doing mundane things.

So, here I am, waiting for lovely Angelique to burst into my space with her professional supplies and lovely grace and energy. What a special treat to have such qualified professionals that are willing to step into my or your life. I love that about LA. If you go out and about, you meet people who you would never see in your shop. In home, in office services are great for corporate make-overs, well treats for the ill, handi-capped, celebrity, high end sophisticate or the bedridden. Hair appointments can be shared so that entire families can be served in one day at one appointment and make an evening of it.

Just call Spa-Go's for a complimentary quote and consultation. If you need braiding or extensions we can do that too!

I'M IN LOVE WITH A MARRIED MAN!

2009-09-05T08:31:00.000-07:00

This week with our romance menu on special, I came across so many men still in love with their wives, I was completely taken aback. Surprised, me as a single girl in LA generally sees the opposite. There are plenty of couples still in love, pampering their ladies and treating them special. Because of that, we created the best spa romance menu ever! With special music, treats, sweets and the right recipe for lasting memories on special occasions or just because.

One of my favorite services on our romance menu is our Champagne and Roses Manicure-Pedicure... Your love will think she is receiving a wonderful pedicure, surprised by a perfectly chilled bottle of champagne, only to be further surprised with a piece of jewelry presented to her at the end of the service. It's the best way to give jewelry and we work out the details to make it extra special. Presentation is everything in creating life's lasting memories.

Another of my favorite services is our $500.00 manicure. It is our standard luxury manicure/pedicure that comes with a "Vegas style" fan of 5 $100 crisp bills. Just what your loved one would enjoy for a shopping spree after. You should see the ladies eyes light up when they see the cash! Cool..... I'm always envious of the lovely ladies who are spoiled so grandly.

You can write for our special romance menu in full (it's not yet up online) and we'll give you the best ideas that are happening. If you have a romantic idea to spoil your special one, let us help! We love thinking outside of our box and inside of yours.

THE IN'S AND THE OUT'S OF THE SPA WORLD

2009-08-05T21:06:00.000-07:00

I should have written about this first, because it is so very very important. With the increase in awareness in spa relief, rejuvenation and wellness there are more people and pets enjoying healthy services than ever before. Here is a list of safety first when having a spa service out in the world and in having a spa service in your own home, office or location.

FREQUENT AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1) Do they have a licensed staff, are their staff well trained and have certificates posted?

2) Look at the housekeeping and cleanliness of the spa and the therapists. Are their nails clean? Are the blankets clean, the sheets??? Many spas cut corners in housekeeping and laundry services not washing the blanket or just turning the sheets over. Always look around and ask for a tour to the room if you can before having a service. Ask for the lights to be turned on if you can't see. Many spa rooms are dimly lit. If the spa is not clean, you should not have a service or you should bring your own linen set-up. We'll talk about that a bit later...

3) You can ask what type of product will be used on you, and most places allow you to bring you own product. I recommend this at discount spas or with private therapists. Luxury nutritious organic product makes all the difference. I always like to bring my own so there is no cross-contamination of skin cells or hairs, dirt, etc., that can occur when using a lotion or body butter and not using a spatula to remove the product. Some therapists use their hands and dip. I can't recommend enough investing in a line for your spa services unless you know for sure the products used on you will be beneficial to you and your skin condition and goals.

4) Male or Female? You can choose. You don't have to have a male masseuse or a male manicurist. You can request a female. You can even request a female with specific qualifications. You can also request a male. Couple's frequently have a male and a female team, and that's completely allowed. Sometimes, if you have a condition, the spa needs to consult which therapist is trained or comfortable working with you. Not every therapist does pregnancy services or end of life. Stones are specific to higher trainings. Your spa concierge will tell you your options and you can specify when booking what you expect in goals. This helps the concierge choose just the right staff for you. If you have a preference, you should schedule in advance 3-7 days.

5) Are you comfortable? Are you cold? Too warm? Your therapist wants you to be happy and comfortable. Let your staff take care of you to the best of their abilities. If it is a regular request, ask them to note it in your file.

6) Medical concerns should always be discussed with your doctor. Manicurists, estheticians, massage therapists... no matter how great and experienced and nice... do not replace medical care, medical treatment or medical consultation. If you have a medical concern, call your private doctor or your doctor's nurse and review your condition.

7) Obese? Muscular? Thin? Anorexic??? Your types and condition is very much a important in services, especially massage. Having a special body type or body issue is a really great time to focus on your health. Taking care of your health will take care of your skin and appearance. Having a great body treatment will also help treat and nutrify your skin that may have sufferred due to your health. that involves nutrition to the skin It's wonderful, regardless of your body type, having regular services begins a relationship with your health that promotes positive. If you are too shy to go to the spa, have the spa come to you! Spa-Go's was developed for those who couldn't or wouldn't go to a spa, it's perfectly fine to have services in home.

8) Detox/Cleansing?? If you have a drug condition, illegal or prescriptive, circulation treatments like massage will stimulate the drug within you to come out, so you need to be very careful and aware. Massage and circulation techniques as well as heat creates the body to metabolize the drug out of the fat cells and into the blood stream. Detoxing to prescriptive drugs and illegal drugs should be done medically supervised. Spa services offering cleansing and detox are geared towards average conditions such as too much junk food, soda and possibly smoking and alcohol. I caution anyone using spa services to medically detox. The spa is a great place to get in touch with yourself through healthy treatments and make changes in your lifestyle so you can live longer and feel better. I enjoy a nice detox mud wrap about every other month.

9) Children and the spa should always be acquainted prior or the parent/caretaker should ask if the spa accomodates children. Many therapists do not work with children and many spas have rules allowing children in until a certain age. There are many great spa locations, however, just for kids and/or mommy-me spas. Teaching children how to care for their health and enjoy healthy relaxing and rejuvenating treatments is a positive tool in educating your children early on regarding their self and their feelings.

10) Tipping/gratuities at the spa are tricky. Many spas add on a gratuity already, so always ask. The treatments are done on the most of personal levels. Ask if the staff receive 100% of their tips, some don't. Ask if the staff have to share tips with others, sometimes they share with concierge and booking staff or management. It is common to see 15-20% tacked on to your services, you always can leave extra, some places still let you hand tip, some make tipping mandatory. Specialized services, mobile service and late nights or holidays are generally an additional 10%.

11) Underwear or Not? I say take it all off! But, you don't have to. If you don't feel comfortable leave it on. Spa-Go's has a full menu of clothes stay on treatments. We understand those wishing their privacy and the modest client. It is all about you! Reflexology, manicures/pedicures, facials, shiatsu, hair and make-up can all be done with your clothes on... If you leave on your underclothes the therapist knows how to work around it, it is no big deal. . If you leave your underwear on, however, it is harder for the therapist and sometimes uncomfortable to the guest to manipulate the hip muscles and hip joint. Therapeutically, you should be stimulated and circulated, rubbed and massaged, squeezed and kneaded from head to toe. Private body parts and areas are never part of a therapeutic massage, facial or mani/pedi. A trained therapist is an expert at draping sheets and linens so that your private areas are never exposed and you always feel safe and comfortable. So, underwear? or not?? Your choice!

12) Eeek, That technician, or therapist that they have paired me with is so unacceptable. What do you do? You say no thank you. You don't let the service go further. You have the right to having your personal treatment with a therapist that you enjoy and although your decision shouldn't be based on appearance, if you are paired with someone that is not clean or is not in clean clothing you can most certainly say no thank you! If you ordered a female and they send a man, that is unacceptable. Some companies don't know their staff, they don't know their habits, they don't even know if they are licensed and they don't care! If you have expectations or prefer a select type of staff, please let your concierge know. Just understand that licensed trained staff are not always "10" looking models. Many are highly trained, hours of schooling and committed to their field within the healing arts. You don't want a staff person that is just doing it for the money, you want a therapist that is a knowlegable healing arts professional. Spa-Go's has newly licensed to experts in their fields. Just ask and we'll take care of you to the best of our ability.

13) Linens, are they white? Have they been bleached? Have they been professionally laundered? Has the blanket been changed at every client or is the blanket shared by everyone and just the sheets changed? Who really knows unless you can see that they are "hotel" looking. Many spas do not use a linen service and that's ok. But feel free to inspect their linens. Ask how they launder their linens, towels and robes. It matters! When in doubt or when traveling to the discount spa, we recommend a spa bag of 2 flat sheets, a blanket and pillow case for the safest in spa experiences. A wrap if you are having facials and a robe if you are having body services. I enjoy my own sandals as well and take my own hairbrushes and combs. Most people don't look at the sheets. Unfortunately, some people don't change the sheets each time, they just flip the sheets over. Look... Look at the product. Look at the room. If it isn't clean, don't go through with your service and let the manager know they need to reset the room to your satisfaction. If they won't acommodate you, shop around.

14) Spas where girls wear little skirts and low v-neck shirts, where they don't tell you the price over the phone and work 24 hours a day, when they don't have a menu and tell you to come to an apartment, house or condo... These are good signs that this service provider may be catering towards another market. When in doubt, ask questions. Massage establishments must be licensed and in areas where massage can take place. The rooms and door should not be able to lock out customers or the police. When they lock the door it is illegal. You should be able to get out of the spa at all times. Look for spas where trained health professionals work to give you the very best value for your money and your health. You wouldn't want to try a new place in town and realize that other things were going on exactly where you are now naked and your therapist is wearing jewelry, chewing bubblegum and is hardly dressed. I shouldn't make a joke, because some of the nicest upscale luxury spa locations have been busted for doing therapeutic and sexual services. It's good to know who the owner is. We don't recommend anyone gets mixed up with the underground spa locations in and around Los Angeles.

15) Water. Even after a manicure, you should drink 2 full glasses or bottles of water to detox and flush out your system. Even a manicure is a circulation treatment and your body will go... "oh great, let's get rid of this waste", and with the added water, the lymph just sends that waste right on out! Plenty of water after a spa service is necessary. Without water after a service you may experience a head-ache due to the waste not being able to exit. Water plumps up your skin too! A natural boost.

16) Keep jewelry on you or leave it at home. If having services in your home, put all valuables away and out of sight. Take therapist or professional to a general area of your home for control purposes and your own safety. Make sure when having in home services the staff that are brought in or referred are background checked and tested or pass a thorough employment interview. So many agencies now are just sending anyone. It's dangerous out in the world. You should always have your belongs away from you and you should have your purse put away as well. (I put tin foil in my purse so if someone tries to open it i hear it crinkle... I thought of this when I raised teens and I still use it when I close my eyes and my purse is in the room, I get nervous i may fall asleep and be robbed)... Easy.

It's buyer beware in the spa world, so look and listen and ask...
Make your spa day or service the very best.

HUMAN BODY MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND DETAILING

2009-08-02T16:57:00.000-07:00

Human Body Maintenance, Repair and Detailing? You may wonder why I would post such a crazy subject. I've never seen human body maintenance, repair or detailing. Well, possibly at the hospital or beauty salon, but... body maintenance you say?

Body maintenance. Americans more than ever need further information and training on how to care for their operating systems. We as Americans don't count calories, we don't moderate high fat and sugar intake, we throw in the towel and frequently order Supersize or XL meal deals. When customers engage in a casual massage I think...that's just great. But when we ask the client "what are your goals for this session?", they go blank and have no idea how to respond. I get it, they just need a little more information. Read below for a quick body maintenance manual, for optimal health and wellness.

Massages: Circulation treatments recommended weekly to every 6 weeks. Your body has memory and will release waste easier and relax quicker when building a routine of massage treatments. There are several styles to choose from. Swedish is your very long gliding, not much pressure basic massage. Deep Tissue is very strong handed. Most everyone is really interested in a combination style service with deep strong kneading in the neck and shoulder region, strong pressure in the hips, back and buttocks and Swedish or effleurage on the legs and arms.

If you enjoy your feet, ears, face and scalp included in the service, make sure you ask for it in advance. Some providers don't include those areas in a basic service. Spa-Go's has over 15 specialty massages and provides sanitized linens, one time use, for your hygienic safety. (if having services elsewhere or from another company...always provide your own sheets if they can't guarantee professional laundering and sanitation. We recommend you also investing in a high end product. Spa-Go's always uses a luxury fine line, but many places don't. Especially your discount businesses.

If packing your own spa bag, include 2 flat sheets, pillow case, blanket and nutritious body oil, organic vitamin enriched sugar scrub and high moisturizing shea added body butter. Spa-Go's sells organic Angel Care (Neroli Fragrance), and Coconut Dreams in a 5 piece set for just $115.00 and you can ship it worldwide.

Facials: Recommended weekly to every 6 weeks as well to condition, clean and improve appearance. Depending on the condition of your skin and goals will determine your schedule. Regular and frequent facials improve skin condition as well as muscle tone and natural lift. I recommend our custom blended Rescue Detox 5+1 as a daily and anytime spritz. I can't live without it and if you notice upon meeting me... 45 years young and no wrinkles!

Manicures/Pedicures: Recommended twice monthly to every 6 weeks. It is a circulation treatment and stimulates the very end of your nerve endings. One of your most sensitive areas on your body are the tips of your fingers and the tips of your toes. Your hands are one of the most noticed parts of your body. Everyone notices a great manicure/pedicure and sometimes it makes the deal, gets you the job, emphasizes that you are clean and organized. Have manicures together to seal the deal. Better than the bar or even better with the bar, Martini Manicures are the rage!

Body Scrubs: Recommended monthly. Performed to remove dead skins and adds softness and conditioning. A true cleaning to all the places you can't reach and done by hand. I love my entire back scrubbed... it feels so good. All sugar scrubs organic and fresh. Over 15 natural essences to choose from.

Body Wraps: Recommended every 6 weeks, unless goal oriented other than deep moisturizing. I enjoy a body wrap to really sweat, open my pores and take in a full consumption of softening and skin nutrition. It's amazing! For the desert rats, ask for some hot stones too! If I have to choose my favorite it would be the cellulite detox wrap for weight reduction. Although I'm pretty thin, I love the spicy essence and the rigorous massage to my fatty buttock area, i really think the more circulation into the fat mixed with lymphatic techniques aids slightly in assisting weight loss, if nutrition and water hydration is kept up and maintained.

Mud Treatments: I like to detox at least monthly. Over 40 and enjoying the California lifestyle... detoxification is necessary. From the smog, to the salt air, to the 3rd glass of wine... It all adds up. I enjoy a mud treatment the best because of the joint relief it gives me. It also tingles and I feel the product activating. I love a rich mineral all natural application. It just connects me to Mother Earth. A mud bath is just as soothing and less mess. Just a quick shower off will do it and the mud Spa-Go's uses is very safe for drains.

Organic Spray Tanning: Tan at your convenience and without the UV damage tanning beds and the beaches provide. Spray tanning helps you get that professional defined look as well and a perfect tan color, never orange! You can go about 2 weeks in between tans. I go about a month, but fade out pretty much by the 30th day. I've tried the self tanners and I've tried the toxic spray on's at the tanning centers and the only one's I recommend are Spa-Go's all natural custom airbrushed. They are a bit more expensive, but they are an even tan, no nasty streaking. Sexy. I want to also note that spray tanning is not just to look hot in a string bikini. Spray tanning gives you a healthy glow. Many of us cannot be in the sun or catch a ray and skin becomes transparent at times. Sometimes when you have tan marks you would like to even them out for a night out. Sometimes you are having a family picture and someone in your family is very ill, just a touch. It's easy, it's fun and it's organic. It's better than going to the beach. Spray tanning doesn't thicken your skin and create "chicken neck". It's the safest way to look tan.

Teeth Whitening: An hour's time and voila! Up to 10 shades whiter and brighter. Easy and convenient for the consumer. We recommend every 2 - 3 months to keep you pearly white. I personally hate this treatment due to my ADD and it's so boring... So, instead of just sitting there Spa-Go's will offer you a mini foot and hand massages and let you enjoy some retro music to make this experience fun. Best before bed so you don't eat and drink for a few hours.

Hair & Make-Up: Every year I like to just be updated by my hairdresser and have new make-up that goes with my new do and new year's flash! Looking good is fantastic, but looking the same year after year is boring. I recommend regular care, but expert consultation yearly. Haircuts should be monthly to every 6-8 weeks. Your hair will actually grow faster with regular mini cuts and styling.. If you haven't changed over to all natural mineral make-up yet, let us help. Animal fats and mineral oil based products are the thing of the past and horrible for your skin!

Fitness: 3x a week is recommended regardless of condition or age. We have a free do it your self program and we also have private therapists that work with you to get you started or work with you regularly forever! Fitness takes care of the strength of your operating system. Very important. I'd be happy to come and work with you on a self plan. I generally work with the over 35 group... But am open to everyone. We have wonderful fitness caretakers that work with professionals, children, animals and groups. Just about every professional you could imagine. Yoga, pilates, electro-stimulation and more!

Nutrition: A nutritionist is a wonderful addition to your lifestyle. I recommend at least a yearly consult on where you are and what your goals are for your future. Having a professional on your team gives a more serious approach to you life and operating system. You can develop a program for your cook to adopt, ask us to assist with your shopping or have a private chef come on your scene once or twice weekly to fill your frig with nothing but great natural snacks and meals. I must note that I save money in the long run and get the nutritionist free. When I take away all the things on my list and eat off of her list I save so much money. I also have the energy to work in so many capacities which proves that nutrition is a major component in health and happiness.

So, Human Body Maintenance. Absolutely! After all... would you buy an expensive car and not change the oil? not put air in the tires? check the brakes and change the belts? Exactly!!!! Your body is your #1 vehicle of transportation. Take care of it!

LIKE A PIG LOVES MUD, SO SHOULD WE!

2009-07-31T16:46:00.000-07:00

Spa-Go's loves muds and wouldn't think of having a menu without them. Spa-Go's muds are green, organic and nutritious detoxification aids. We use M, Mud for the Face and Moor mud applications for body, baths and compresses. I love a nutritious mud wrap. A mud wrap detoxes and pulls the waste and toxins from the body and skin. Its rich in nutrients and is both giving and taking, so I consider it very zen and healing. Mud has been used since ancient times. Mud treatments have many benefits read below for more information.

Moor Mud Bath and Body Wrap:

Professional athletes use moor mud for sore muscle relief, post-workout muscle tightness, increase flexibility, spasms, sprains and fatigue.
Increases body temperature which increases circulation and mobilization of wastes for excretion.
Used to relieve pain and increase mobility in joints and muscles.
May increase rate of healing in post-operative patients.
Weak immune system patients use it routinely to increase their white blood count - AIDS/HIV, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to name a couple.
Used for detoxifying patients due to its ability to increase circulation, sweating and nutrient load.
Excellent for insomniacs, Type A personalities and others who are under tremendous stress.

When something works as deeply as moor mud, numerous conditions get treated at the core. (List of conditions below) There are no chemicals or additives in Torf Krasno's Moor Mud. Moor Mud is also the common name for our Balneo Peat. It is a 100% natural product imported from the famous spa country of Czech Republic.

Peat baths, also known as moor mud baths, are used daily by European medical doctors to restore people's health. This moor mud spa therapy works from the inside while most therapies only alleviate surface symptoms. Tight sore muscles, joint stiffness and eczema are not surface problems. In order to effectively treat these conditions, the therapy must be penetrating, consistent and full body. A moor mud bath does this. The benefits from one moor mud bath last for days and may resolve the condition. An increase in flexibility is typically seen after the first treatment.

The natural acids and nutrients in peat are the driving force behind its healing abilities. As one aspect of peat opens the skin pores allowing nutrients in and acids out, another aspect actively draws out lactic acid and metabolic wastes from tissues. After just one treatment, your muscle aches, joint stiffness and skin health may be markedly improved. No drugs. No ointments. A natural, effective therapy.

LEARN THE VALUES AND BENEFITS OF A SPA-GO'S BODY WRAP

2009-07-31T16:27:00.000-07:00

Body Wraps are offered with Spa-Go's. You can have a wrap to give you a intense relaxation experience. Your goals can be hydration based or nutrient based. A wrap is also performed on a massage table. You sit on a plastic sheet while your therapist applies product to your back area. You then lie down and the therapist continues to apply product to as much skin as possible. Next they wrap the plastic sheet around you, a solar blanket and duvet is customary. You are generally given a scalp/temple massage, offered water through a straw and soothed while you process. You should be wrapped at least 20 minutes. Wraps are heat treatments so anyone with heart conditions should mention that a looser wrap and no solar blanket, please...

Many enjoy the heat and the cocoon wrap. I have clients that say they feel like a baby, very safe and warm and enjoy this as an emotional relaxation service. I also have those that feel trapped and claustrophobic. I personally like my feet left out and can only have a wrap for 10 minutes without going stir crazy. I am ADD and although I enjoy a small enclosed areas for meditation and quiet purposes, the bondage of wrap makes me feel out of control, nervous, anxious and unenjoyable. So, it's not for everyone.

I have many clients with joint problems enjoy a wrap with a medicated gel and the warmth seems to aleviate their arthritic conditions. Some wraps are recommended to leave on for greater absorption throughout the day.

BODY SCRUBS EXFOLIATE, REJUVENATE AND RENEW THE SKIN

2009-07-31T16:01:00.000-07:00

Body Scrubs are offered with Spa-Go's in delicious delightful blends. Spa-Go's has two luxury brand sugar scrubs from their Hawaiian Islands and their Heaven on Earth Collections retailing at just $28.00 for 16 ounces. Having an organic sugar scrub is absolutely healthy, pampering and nutritiously healing for the skin. You can use a scrub to your feet, hands and body.

Many of our clientele have never had a body scrub and don't really know the benefits and values of having one. You will generally see sugar scrubs or salt scrubs for sale. Let's go over the differences in your choice.

We recommend sugar scrubs for exfoliation and most all body experiences. Salt is abrasive only beneficial when used as a soak or with compresses, letting the salt bring out the toxins and help drain fluids from the skin (as with epson salts and a sprained swollen ankle). As a body treatment, we recommend sugars.

Note: If your only use of a scrub is for your feet I would recommend salt. Using a salt mixture all over your feet and then soak in the salt scrub creates a salty mixture of water to help drain and relieve water retention, swelling and arthritic conditions in the ankle and joints.

A scrub is performed on a massage table with the client on a plastic sheet. Your technician begins by applying a nutrient rich sugar scrub all over your body. You may wish to wear disposable underwear, an old tube top style bikini or your staff person will wrap you in loose towels. After the application of product you are then either wrapped in an ultra moisture hydration wrap or wiped down with hot towels, a sponge bath or sent to the shower. You generally then return to the massage or treatment table for a application of moisturizer or body butter for the ultimate nutritious body cocktail.

A scrub usually lasts 20-30 minutes, it's necessary to remove dead skin, it cleans all of you, scents your skin, stimulates circulation and improves skin condition. Best of all it feels heavenly!

Choose between our many delicious custom blends by calling our mixing specialist or send a basket or body scrub to a friend today.

SPA-GO'S FACIALS AND YOU

2009-07-31T15:47:00.000-07:00

Spa-Go's facials are great for skin cleanliness, skin conditions, signs of aging, fine lines and wrinkles, acne and/or rosacea conditions. Facials are generally performed on a massage or facial table where you relax, music is played to soothe you emotionally and remove your mind from day to day clutter. Oxygen, steamed heat or hot towels are offered and begin your session. Facials are necessary to keep you looking and feeling your best, your facial skin will be maintained to the absolute best condition possible and the results will be noticeable.

Some tips to remember when having a facial is to have all your make-up removed and be dressed in a spa wrap so that your specialist has access to your neck, bust area (decollate) and shoulder regions. A good facialist/esthetician will clean your skin, exfoliate and remove the dry and dead layers of skin, mask you in a rich vitamin rich goal oriented mask and then moisturize, massage and apply a toner, a serum and a sunscreen. A great facialist/esthetician asks if you would like extractions before your service. A great facialist/esthetician remains with you at all times and while you are processing your mask cares for your hands and feet and never leaves your side. With Spa-Go's, we only hire the very best! Our trained professionals are specifically selected for the needs of the client. Health, wellness and pampering are in each treatment.

Spa-Go's offer basic facials on Monday's, in home or at a location of your choice, for just $80.00. Weekly rates and specialty facials are priced at $125 and up. You can upgrade to a fruit or chemical peel, add extraction and waxing services or choose an upgraded healing experience such as our "Native American Spirit Experience" where you begin with a smudge, special native American Indian flute music and actual drumming over you for a clearing and cleanse of your energy and a calling of your guardians.

I love being at home when I get facial because I never want to put make-up over a new facial, my hair is never right after being wrapped and I don't want to be seen. I am also very relaxed, whip up a yogurt smoothie and enjoy putting my feet up.

OUR BODY'S SKIN AND IT'S ROLE TO GOOD HEALTH

2009-07-31T09:34:00.000-07:00

August is definitely a month where skin is in need of a little tender loving care. The sun's damage, dry weather, smog and air pollution, and dehydration from not drinking enough water are all part of the culprits. Also, the culprits are soaps, moisturizes, perfumes and oils full of cheap, toxic, low quality ingredients and synthetic smelling crap!

You can see that I understand and treat the skin as something worthy of care, nutritional feeding, exfoliation and watering. Our skin is the largest organ of our body's system. The importance of our skin is not just to look good and to feel soft, it's that our skin is healthy so it can do what it's job in our body's operating system is designed to do... Breathe and protect our internal operating system. Skin is porous so it holds dirt and oils as well as nutrients and fragrance. If your skin is full of clogged pores it can't breathe 100% and your entire system suffers. You can treat the outer area of your skin, but good skin condition comes from how you treat the insides of your body. Your skin is a reflection of your entire operating system. There is an old saying that you can't fool the skin. Meaning, the skin shows the signs of life's abuses.

Your skin's condition is one of the first things people notice, behind the designer labels and tags is the real age of the skin, looking good or looking "not so good". Face first, hands and neck second and third. You can't hide the abuse of poor nutrition, prescriptive medicines, lack of hydration and the horrible effects that smoking has on the face and lip tissue. You can easily guess someone's age range through the condition of their skin. It's not just about having a great facial, but a great body care facial as well.

Don't be doom and gloom reading this post. I have over 15 years experience treating the mind, body and skin. Spa-Go's has a new luxury product line that is 100% organic designed for feeding the skin, protecting the skin and nourishing the skin.

Regular facials and body treatments of course make you glow, sparkle and feel good, but regular services to your skin are also health treatments to your main component. Did you also know that regular facials because there is massage and healing movements performed on the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakra encourage health and healing as well as cleaning the skin. Regular facials improve skin tone and lift naturally through the circulation and massage movements in the muscles of the face, neck and chest area.

You can also ask for hand and feet treatments. Spa-Go's has wonderful facial add-ons that include a glycolic hand mask and a reflexology foot massage. Musical therapist accompanies all of our services. We like to recommend Loreena McKennitt's CD, Book of Secrets. It is a celtic style healing journey with moroccan tones and drumming. Music is therapy and we honor your own selections, however, have paired specific music to services for a truly unique experience.

Let us examine the function of the skin: appearance/beauty, protection of internal organs, helps with temperature changes, infection and manufactures vitamin D. How does Spa-Go's help you with your skin? Let me tell the ways, in the next week I will post about the ins and outs of facials, body wraps, body scrubs and mud treatments.
