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.

When I had a session with KimBerly I can say that I felt immediate results—no pain in my knee for starters!!

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!

Problem Skin Cleanser
4 oz. treatment pump
Bye bye acne !!!

SAVIOR
Price:
$42.00

Ix-nay on the ac-nay!

Non-Sulfate face wash with 2% Salicylic Acid and 5% Lactic Acid to clear pores, exfoliate, soften skin and help prevent blemishes. SaviorTM will thoroughly clean and help keep your skin clear without over-drying or stripping. Formulated with anti-mictobial and anti-bacterial Organic Olive Leaf, Organic Tea Tree Oil, TotarolTM and anti-septic Organic Peppermint.

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.

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/.
