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

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.


As a thank you for taking the time to read this, please go to www.puravidadayspa.com to find out what gifts we have waiting for you, oh and here is a little hint....stop by the Spa because we have a surprise gift we can't wait to give you!

We look forward to seeing you,
Pura Vida Day Spa...pure life

We would love to hear your comments on this information, and if you have any questions about your skin and/or the products you use, we would be happy to share the latest skin care information that will keep you silky smooth, creamy, fresh and tight!! 949-240-2772

GLO MINERALS IS THE BEST!!!

We wanted to share with you the education we've received about what a great product mineral makeup is. Be prepared, because when you finish reading this you may not want to put anything else on your face--seriously!

Before we get started, there are many different mineral makeup companies out there, but we selected the line Glo Minerals simply because they're the best in the industry (read below and you understand why I say that). I would only bring you the cream of the crop, as well as making sure you understand the benefits to you for using the very best skin care products, bath and body products as well as the finishing touch, MakeUp! Considering this, the information you are about to read is specifically about Glo Minerals.
The TOP 10 Benefits of Glo Minerals Makeup

1) Unsurpassed Coverage--lasts without fading, we kid you not.

2) Broad Spectrum UV protection--in makeup? It's true! Micronized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are in there--you would never know if we didn't tell you.

3) Antioxidants like Vitamins C, A, K, E (hey, that spells CAKE!) and Green Tea Extract to protect the skin from potentially harsh environmental elements (pollution anyone?) that can cause free radical damage and ADVANCED AGING (uh, hello, we're trying to reverse or at least slow down the aging process, not help it along!).

4) Beautiful colors (we are talking gorgeous)!

5) Anti-inflammatory ingredients: great for improving the appearance of acne and rosacea-prone skin.

6) No perfumes!

7) No chemical dyes!

8) Safe for even the most sensitive skin types.

9) Non-comedogenic (so bacteria doesn't get trapped in the pores).

10) Ok, we only officially had 9, but 10 is such a nice round number, don't you think? Oh wait, there is one more reason--it is the same price you would pay at the mall for regular old makeup!

You must have the Basics, at least, so...........our top three recommendations are:
1) Pressed Foundation ($35)
2) Hydration Mist ($15.5)
3) Ultra Brush ($37) or Kabuki Brush ($29)


Now that you and I both know what the incredible benefits are of this fabulous product, I cannot stand the thought of using any other kind of Makeup on my face or yours. When you think about it, this is something we use on our faces every day!

Can you handle using an inferior product one minute longer?

I can't, and have switched to Glo Minerals myself as well as my entire staff. Therefore, I want to make you a special offer, so hurry and get in here to pick your favorite colors and start using the very best make up on your face, everyday!




With every purchase of $50+ of Glo Mineral Makeup (includes brushes)
you receive a FREE lipgloss all month long!


What are you waiting for? Get out of that chair and get down here! We are going to have so much fun picking your colors and showing you how to apply it, I can't wait!!

IT'S EASIER TO PREVENT THAN TREAT

Lately, so much attention is on how to look younger--even men are getting on the bandwagon! As I begin to see the lines slowly (but surely) appear on my face I began to see why the attention is there.

I thought about the mantra, it's easier to prevent than to treat, and began taking my "wrinkle prevention" a little more seriously.

Read on to start fighting those wrinkles!


3 Quick Tips to Wrinkle Prevention

1) Use Sunscreen--on the face and the body! Especially here in California where our skin is exposed on a daily basis.

2) Use eyecream--the skin around the eyes is very thin, which is why it is so prone to wrinkling and needs special attention.

3) Make antioxidants your best friends--here's some to choose from: vitamin C, Vitamin E, lycopene, and Green Tea Extract. These can be found in foods and in skin care products. They are the good guys.


A Special Promotion to Come!

In the next promotion, I will tell you about an amazing new serum that we have launched at Pura Vida Day Spa. Wow--you'll be so impressed--I know that I am.

I'll give you a hint--it's an alternative to Botox and it's 10 times stronger than Strivectin!

FOUTAIN OF YOUTH??

Can we really stop the aging process, slow it down, or even reverse the effects of aging on our skin and body? It is an enigma for which so many have searched the answers to for years. Now, with advanced modern science making breakthroughs and discoveries every day, the answers have become apparent to the age-old quest for the proverbial fountain of youth.
In large part, your everyday lifestyle choices contribute to the way you age, and at what rate your body ages. Diet, environmental factors, exercise and the topical skincare products and skin care regimen you choose, all affect the way you are going to appear now and ten, twenty, and thirty years down the road. It's no surprise your lifestyle plays a pivotal role in how your body and skin age over the years, since we've always known diet and exercise affect our energy levels, appearance, moods, and fitness level. However, several key foods have been found to be very effective weapons not only against aging in general, but also against skin disorders ranging from acne, rosacea, thin skin, and photo aging (sun damage). These foods can even help reverse and repair sun and other environmental damage done to the skin. This powerful weapon is a group of chemical compounds called antioxidants, and what they accomplish in high doses, along with adequate exercise, can mimic a surgical facelift over a relatively short period of time! Think about all of the damage your skin is exposed to on a daily basis. It is your largest and most vulnerable organ, exposed to toxins and other damaging elements, like the sun, every day. These elements will actually accelerate the aging process by producing harmful compounds called free radicals, which can damage cells and in turn damage the skin. Antioxidants actually fight free radicals, and reverse some of the damage already done by them in the body. Precautions to be taken to prevent these nasty little free radicals from wreaking havoc on your skin include wearing sunscreen every day, getting regular moderate exercise, using preventive skin care (cleansers, lotions, gels, creams, etc.) formulated with powerful antioxidants like Vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic Acid, and making sure your get an abundance of antioxidants in your every day diet. Some examples of foods high in antioxidants include berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.), citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, etc.), and vegetables rich in color, such as broccoli, zucchini, spinach, and summer squash. Green tea is also a great source of antioxidants, not to mention a better choice than coffee for a pick-me-up. While there are many foods to be enjoyed while living by the "anti-aging" diet, there are also foods that need to be either avoided all together, or strictly minimized. These are refined sugar, caffeine, and all starchy and white flour products. The resulting surge of insulin created by these foods produces more free radicals and breaks down the cell's defenses against damaging elements, leaving you wide open to more skin damage (i.e. wrinkles, skin disorders, and other premature aging effects). These foods are highly inflammatory by nature, and while they may taste good going down, know that they are destroying good cells and allowing for future damage by weakening the cell's defenses further. Eating these foods results in less tone and definition. The skin "droops," hence the creation of fine lines, wrinkles, and dull color. You will know a person that has a high sugar and high carb diet by looking at their face. They may have almost a "doughy" appearance to their skin, lacking the sharp definition and tone enjoyed by those who follow a healthy diet based on the anti-aging principles.
We look forward to seeing you,
