You've published a book. What's next... ?
|
How do we do this? We've been in this business for 22 years. We've watched it evolve from a print-and-paper world to a digital world - so fast that many authors are left hanging with no support. How do you navigate all the rules and forms? Why is an ISBN essential for selling your book? Once you've got your book listed on Amazon, how do you get the word out so people can buy it?

Reiki Raindrop – An Alternative to Popping Pills
Do you or someone you know have to count out all your medications each week and put them in those little plastic pill cases so you don’t lose track? Do you take so many pills you have to have a case for morning, noon and night? Do you or someone you know struggle with your health so much that you have a pill to go to sleep, a pill to wake up, a pill to go to the bathroom, a pill to stop going to the bathroom too much, a pill to be happy, a pill to get “in the mood” or a pill for one of the many other functions of life that used to just come naturally?
Are you tired or frustrated having to “pop” all these pills yet never feeling any better?
When you have nothing more to lose, then you have everything left to gain.
Reiki Raindrop is a complimentary therapy that combines ancient techniques from Egypt, Japan, Tibet and the Lakota Indian Nation. This hands-on technique uses a minimum of nine uniquely chosen therapeutic grade essential oils along with gentle Reiki energy to bring your body into balance physically, mentally and spiritually.
Marcy's story of leaving her pills behind:
"After 12 years of being on Zoloft pills I am finally off them. It's been 4 weeks since I've taken any. It happened by accident. I was using Frankincence on my moles, Lemon in my water and Hope on a cold sore root on my lower lip. I wasn't even trying to get off my antidepressants because I didn't think it was possible (yeah, oh ye of little faith). Anyway after doing this routine for 1 week, I noticed that I had forgotten to take 3 days of zoloft. This never happens as I would immediately crave chocolate and then remember I hadn't taken my pill. So, I then continued this routine for another 3 weeks, then went down to one pill a week for 3 more weeks, then quit completely.”
If you want to “STOP pill-popping and START healing” call Pura Vida Day Spa TODAY to set up your customized 90 minute Reiki Raindrop session with the one and only, KimBerly Keyton.

Ix-Nay on the Ac-Nay
Hi Spa Lovers,
The other day I was talking to a woman who has been using a mask as a cleanser every day! It made me think that maybe I should focus my blog more on educating about the different skin care products available. When I see all of the products on the shelves, even I find it confusing!
So below is one of my faves--a little cleanser that I LOVE because of my oily skin. I use it at night when my skin is the dirtiest, and it not only cleans my skin, but it makes me look younger too!
Free of artificial colors, fragrance, preservatives and always cruelty free.

Serum: The Missing Link
One of the biggest missing ingredients in most people's skincare regimine (if you don't have one, get one) is that they are NOT using a serum. Yes, absolutely everyone should be using a cleanser and a moisturizer (with SPF during the day). But if keeping your youth is important to you, a serum is your big missing link. You can get serums for practically any type of concern--reduce wrinkles, help with rosacea, decrease sunspots, reduce scarring, oily skin, dry skin, the list goes on and on.
The biggest problem clients have is knowing which serum to get and why. There is an abundance of quality skincare products on the market and they are just downright confused! If you have been wanting to try a serum for a while and don't know what to get, give us a call. Once you start filling the "missing link" you will begin to see dramatic results on your skin.

The Secret to the Eye Patch
Eye Patches aren't just for pirates anymore!
MD Skincare has invented an eye patch that actually "pushes" eye cream into your skin through an amazing technology! When it pushes the product in deeply, the eye cream does it's job VERY WELL and drastically reduces any wrinkles!!! (same for the lip patch too). We have tried and tested this treatment, and the results are very visible! If you are looking to look refreshed and alive around the eyes (maybe a wedding, a reunion, a hot date), you can get this treatment with your facial at Pura Vida Day Spa in Laguna Niguel and we'll make those crows feet disappear!
In case you were wondering, you only wear the patch for 20 minutes during your treatment. You don't wear it on your hot date! Remember, what happens at the spa, stays at the spa.
Call Pura Vida Day Spa today to find out more: 949-582-3551

Are People Telling You Your Skin is Beautiful?
I'm not one to brag, but I have to admit that lately I've been getting more compliments than usual about my skin. That is always a tough compliment for me to take, because I have very sensitive skin and the slightest thing can give me a reaction. BUT, I started using one of my old-time faves a couple of weeks ago. You guessed it...my Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel by MD Skincare!
I first heard about this take home peel system about 4 years ago. I still feel that it is one of the best (if not THE best) exfoliation treatment on the market. Most consumers think of apricot scrubs when they hear the word exfoliation. Well, my friends, we have come a long way! The Daily Face Peel by MD Skincare is a precise blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids that deliver results and they deliver them quickly! Besides the results, the two other factors I love about this product are: ease of use and their ability to improve nearly EVERY skin complaint (acne, wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, bumps, etc.). You can easily insert the treatment into your daily routine.
So, if you live near our spa, come and check it out. I'll do the pads on your arm and you will literally fall over when you see the difference.
I'm happy with my beautiful skin today!

Towelling Off Has Never Been Such a Luxury!
The Softest Towels EVER!Brian Good from Green Core share with us about the 80% Bamboo towels (the highest % on the market) he was selling.
AND, they are just $45.99 a set!
(set includes bath towel, hand towel and washcloth)
The colors are: chocolate brown, natural (ivory), wheat, basil green and blue.
Popular Questions:
Q: Why should I buy your bamboo towels?
A: Bamboo yarn absorbs faster than cotton, is softer than cotton, also bamboo is far less likely to cause skin allergies. Its natural anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties means your environment is better protected against potentially harmful germs for hygienic daily use. Not to mention bamboo is grown in a pesticide-free environment
Q: What makes them “green”?
A: Cotton fields use the largest amount of pesticides; these pesticides are very harmful to our environment. Bamboo is grown in a pesticide-free environment. Bamboo is a cellulose fiber which is converted into yarns without the addition of toxic chemicals, and is 100% biodegradable in soil by micro-organism and sunshine, causing no pollution to the environment...
Q: What makes the Bamboo’s environment pesticide-free?
A: Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants and unlike cotton it thrives without the use of pesticides and insecticides.
When it comes to elegance, silky softness and absorbency, nothing can beat bamboo towels – not even Egyptian cotton. So, if you’re ready to immerse yourself in the eco-friendly quality and comfort you want, without sacrificing the luxury you deserve, choose bamboo linens...the right choice for you and the environment.

Hints for Men Buying Gifts
Hi Spa Lovers,
Get your spa gift certificatee on-line
I have yet to see a woman disappointed about getting a spa gift certificate. ESPECIALLY, when the husband says, "Don't worry about the kids, honey. I've got everything handled. Just take your time." Online gift certificates are a win-win. The man doesn't have to go anywhere to purchase it (no dreaded trips to the mall) and the woman appreciates a gift that gives her a memory.
Visit our website, http://www.puravidadayspa.com/ or there are other alternatives for day spas out of the Laguna Niguel, California area. The most popular is http://www.spafinder.com/. Another good one where you can have your own spa concierge is http://www.wayspa.com/.
Happy Shopping for the holidays!

What's the Deal with Peels?
Hi Spa Lovers,
As a spa owner, I go through a lot of skincare products (you should look under my bed!). I have to say that my absolute favorite take home peel product is this baby right here, the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel by MD Skincare.
It is the "star" of their line and as a spa owner I really love it because we have a professional grade level of the peel we can give to our clients. It is also the one I use at home! Let me tell you, I have tried MANY peels, and the reason I like this one is because it's quick, easy and very effective. My skin has no reaction, except that it looks better! So, if you're confused about what peels are and what road to take, feel free to email me and I'll share with you my experiences (info@puravidadayspa.com). If you're interested can read more about this product at http://www.puravidadayspa.com/.

Here's to invisible fine lines and wrinkles,

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, onion, paprika, white wine vinegar, cider vinegar, and vegetable oil. Toss with spinach just before serving.
Enjoy!

Lovey Dovey
It's the lover's time of year with Valentine's Day quickly approaching. At Pura Vida Day Spa in Laguna Niguel, we love this holiday! We see many couples celebrate with Couples Massages and Facials, since we are one of the very few spas that accommodates couples.
Sally, one of our Spa Coordinators, is the decorating queen, so you simply must visit to see how "hearty" the spa looks with rose petals, hearts, red and pink all over! We bow down to Sally!
Make life easy this year and log on to our site: www.PuraVidaDaySpa.com to purchase an online gift certificate! Your shopping will be over before you know it! Or you can call: 949-582-3551
Happy Spa-ing and Loving,

That's What Friends Are For!
Over the years, we often select a "Bring A Buddy" treatment as a special because we have found that people love to spa together. This December we have our "Bring A Buddy" special for $99 and it includes a massage AND a sugar scrub (90 minutes total). We have lots of buddies calling us, especially starting Dec. 26th after all of the craziness of the holidays has subsided.
So if you have a "buddy" who needs some R & R, have them come in for a massage and body scrub!
Happy Holidays!

Our Troops Love Pura Vida Day Spa!
Did you know that each holiday season we get loads of Gift Certificate orders from troops in Iraq and Afganistan? Many wives and loved ones who live locally in Southern Orange County get their Pura Vida Day Spa Gift Certificates emailed to them by miliary personnel. This makes it an easy gift for the troops to give because they just go to www.PuraVidaDaySpa.com and can email the certificate from any computer with internet access. It makes shopping for them stress free and gives loved ones at home precious relaxation time.

I am getting used to an up-and-coming trend--the personal concierge! Chrissy at Carefree Concierge (www.CarefreeConcierge.net) can make your life a breeze.

So if you need help with your holiday shopping, cards, wrapping, or just your regular errands, give Chrissy a call at: 949-510-5325 and tell her Pura Vida Day Spa sent you.

Bringing Relaxation to Your Holidays
Before you get too stressed out about the holidays, consider how you can make this season really enjoyable and relaxing. One to-do I always stressed about in the past was getting out my holiday cards. This year, I will have mine done in about 2 minutes. They will have a family photo and personalized message as well as be printed, addressed, stamped and mailed for me--all for about $1 a card. If you think that will help you relax too, just give me a call at: 949-632-4988 or visit www.WOWfactorCards.com to try sending a card for yourself.
Happy relaxing,

Holiday Cards: The EASIEST task this year!
I am off to Cancun for a week--glorious!! One of my tasks is to take a family photo so I can use it for my holiday card this year. You are probably planning a photo as well. The difference is that I will be getting the photo printed directly onto the cards, and then they will be stuffed, addressed, stamped and mailed for me--ALL for under $1 a card (+stamp). They will all be personalized AND I will be able to send them in about 10 seconds. So if you think that sounds like it'll take some stress off of your plate and give you more SPA time (or relaxing time), check out www.WOWfactorCards.com and you can send a card for free to try it out.
Happy Spa-ing and I'll be thinking about you when I'm on the beach,
Leisa
P.S. I will do some "rigorous" research at the spa and bring back any tips I learn so stay posted!

Pura Vida Day Spa: The Big News! Secrets, Mystery, & More!
THE BIG NEWS…!
We are moving our San Juan Capistrano spa to our new Laguna Niguel location!!
Beginning Tuesday, December 26th, Pura Vida Day Spa, Laguna Niguel will be buzzing and bursting with our guests from both locations, some visiting our new location for the first time and others coming back to be treated and get in on the “moving” Bonus Gifts put together for our loyal guests (YOU!).
We are very excited about Pura Vida Day Spa Laguna Niguel and the changes we have made for you. If you haven’t had an opportunity to see the new spa, you’re missing out! It has beautiful stone floors, fireplace, gorgeous décor and the boutique area is packed with your old favorites, plus, great new items that are sure to become part of your favorites also……….
THE SECRETS…
We have added a new treatment “SPRAY TANNING” that will knock your socks off - great before any special occasion or tropical vacation (tan fat is always better than pale fat, right?), really just all the time to look sunkissed and keep your skin healthy, creamy and glowing from head to toe!!
We have also added MEDICAL SPA TREATMENTS! We heard your requests loud and clear for these treatments, so the quest began to find the experts to provide you with the same level of quality and care that you are accustomed to getting from Pura Vida Day Spa. My mom always told me when I was growing up that I “live under a star.” When I met Caron Kuhl (PA) and Gigi Goddard (RN) from Giovinezza I knew that the Universe had worked its magic in my favor once again. These two women are strong, intelligent, caring, experts and will treat you with the excellent medical care.
What Medical Spa Treatments exactly, you ask?
VELLASMOOTH - The first and only effective medical solution for cellulite
TITAN - Tone, lift and tighten the skin of the face, abdomen, thighs & arms- non surgically
BOTOX - muscle relaxant to prevent formation of lines
COLLAGEN & RESTYLANE - Natural cosmetic dermal fillers to restore volume to smooth facial lines and folds, and fullness to the lips
IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT) - No down time treatment for several skin conditions such as sun damage, pigmentation, cuperose, rosacea, fine lines and acne scars
LASER GENESIS - Collagen rejuvenation therapy
LASER VEIN REMOVAL - Most advanced technology! No injections!
LASER HAIR REMOVAL - Need we say more??
MICROLASERPEEL - “weekend facelift”
We are all very excited to offer all of our guests everything under one roof. Come in and meet Caron and Gigi with your private consultation, get your questions answered and find out what treatment will best suit your needs.

September 2006 Events
Dear beloved Pura Vida Day Spa Guests,
This month we are planning something a little different than our usual monthly specials and events. We have two events happening that are really exciting!!
FIRST, you heard it here first—we have the honor of participating in SPA WEEK LA!!! We have not ONE, but THREE incredible treatments we are offering for only $50 each!!! (see www.PuraVidaDaySpa.com for more details)
ALL $50 each, ALL 60 min. each!
Rock the Back (Massage w/ Hot Stone on back)
Vitamin C Age Defying Facial
So Long Cellulite Treatment
But don’t worry, you don’t have to go to LA to reap the benefits—just book your treatments right here at Pura Vida Day Spa between Tuesday, September 19th through Sunday, September 24th.
There is going to be a lot of national, statewide, and local press regarding this event, so trust me on this insider tip—get in now before all of the treatments are gone, gone, gone. These prices are 50% off or more, so this is truly a unique event—you won’t see these treatments at these prices again. The coolest part is that there are no limits to how many SPA WEEK treatments you book. If you want ALL THREE, no problem!!
We expect to give over 200 treatments for SPA WEEK, so if you have been telling yourself to get in to see us, I would take this as a SIGN and call today— 949-240-2SPA!
SECOND, we are launching an AMAZING new skincare line, Sircuit Cosmeceuticals.
I started researching this line over a YEAR ago and have been consistently impressed with its effectiveness and their forward thinking. You have to come in and play with our testers—you will just be in awe of how different this line is from anything you’ve ever seen or heard about.
For those of you who are as fascinated by skincare as I am, I’ll give you a little bit of insight on what made me commit to this line, even when I have two other lines that I adore (and am still keeping, don’t worry). This line has the best of ALL worlds (not just both)— it is all natural, highly effective, technologically advanced (trust me, not a lot of “all natural” lines can say that), and the cherry on the cake is that it smells incredible and is FUN to use!
Come down and see what I’m so excited about! I get a lot of skincare samples from a LOT of companies, so see why this skeptic was so impressed.
As we say at Pura Vida Day Spa….Relax & Have Fun,

SOAP FACTS...YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS
Did you know that several of the cleansing bars that you buy at the store, are actually detergents and not soaps at all?
They are called syndet bars, or synthetic detergent bars. They are made from synthesized chemicals and are usually much harsher than soap. Detergents contain petroleum distillates rather than oil.
On the other hand, true soap is made from natural oils (such as olive, coconut and palm) and is a gentle cleansing product more appropriate for use on skin than is detergent.
Soaps, unlike detergents, are made by combining sodium hydroxide or lye, oils and water in a process known as "Saponification." Some people may question the use of lye in handcrafted soap. The fact is that all soap is made with lye.
What needs to be made clear is that once the process of saponification is complete, the lye and oil molecules have combined and chemically changed into soap and glycerin. There is no lye present in the finished bars of soap.
The oils in our soaps are put there for a specific purpose. The coconut oil creates a wonderful lather. The olive oil is used for a high quality, long lasting bar. Canola and Palm oil carry nutrients to the skin, and the safflower oil makes a creamy bar.
Glycerin is a skin soothing emollient that adds to the goodness of handmade soap. In commercial soaps the glycerin is removed for the cosmetic industry to sell separately, sometimes at a higher price than the soap itself! Glycerin is important to skin care because it is a humectant. Humectants draw moisture from the air, which in turn moisturize your skin. A whole 1/5 of a bar of our soap is glycerin.
Most soaps have artificial ingredients to scent or color. Some handcrafted soap is scented with fragrance oils. These are synthetic chemicals that are mixed together to imitate a particular scent. They have contributed in many cases to chemical sensitivity in some people.
They also have no aromatherapy benefits. The scents in our soaps should come only from essential oils, which are steamed or pressed from plants. Essential oils are the fragrance emitting components of plants and are at the heart of aromatherapy. Not only do they smell good; they have many beneficial effects on the body, mind and spirit.
The coloring in our soap should come from nature as well. The petals of Lavender and Rose can be used. Earth Pigments can also be used, which are simply finely ground rocks. This makes the colors rich and earthy, rather than artificial looking.
