Are You In Bikini Shape?
August is typically the month that most people head off for their big summer vacation. If you've spent the last few months indulging in backyard BBQs and poolside margaritas, there is still time to get into bikini shape by making a few easy changes to your diet and workout routine and by doing one of your favorite things... hitting the spa!
Burn More Calories!
In addition to your usual fitness activities and workout routines, consider making these small changes to your daily routine to burn off a few more calories each day:
- Walk around your house or office when you are chatting on the phone with your girlfriend or on a conference call for work instead of sitting in a chair. Every step counts.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator... always!
- Stop looking for that perfect parking space. Instead, purposely park farther away so you have more steps in your day. If that means, leaving earlier to do errands, then do it!
- Multi-Task: Watch your favorite TV show or movie while doing crunches, lunges, planks, or jumping jacks.
Replace the Basics!
Diets come and go, but making a few simple substitutions to your regular diet can really make a difference.
- Replace sugar with applesauce when you're baking.
- Go for nuts instead of croutons for that extra crunch you want in your salad.
- Opt for non-fat plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It tastes the same with much less guilt!
- Swap out rice for quinoa.
- Try chia seeds instead of breadcrumbs.
- Skip the whole milk and try almond or soymilk.
Hit the Spa!
Now for the fun part! Aside from being a great way to treat yourself, think of the spa as also the go-to place to get yourself in bikini shape and to care for your skin from summer fun in the sun! Consider these treatments...
- Slimming wraps can help you lose few inches and reduce the appearance of cellulite so you look your best in that bikini!
- Detox wraps also help to rid your body of toxins from your favorite summer cocktails, such as margaritas, daiquiris, and Mai Tai's!
- Did you get too much sun this summer? Try a hydrating or cooling facial for your over-exposed skin.
- Exfoliating body scrubs are a great way to either prep your skin for a spray tan or scrub off the dry skin after a summer of sun.
- Manicure - Of course a nice bright summer color on your fingertips is the accessory for your vacation, beach, or pool attire.

 Celebrate Friendship Day!
As if we need a special day to celebrate all of our gal pals, buddies, besties, and BFFs in our lives, August 3, 2014 is a date dedicated just to that. It's Friendship Day! This celebration actually dates back to 1919 thanks to Hallmark cards. But over the years the idea waned a bit and until 1998 when Winnie the Pooh, of all characters, was named the world's Ambassador of Friendship by the United Nations and they declared July 30 as International Friendship Day. So, while some countries celebrate it the last week of July, most other countries still deem the first Sunday of August as the original Friendship Day.
Whatever the day, it's a great time to think cherish your friends, think about just what makes a great friend, and, of course, plan some spa time with your BFF!
So what makes a great friend? A truly fantastic friend does seven these fabulous things...
Forgives: No one's perfect. We all mess up once in a while. What's important is how you handle the mistakes. The two most important sentences to get through life's little mishaps are: "I'm sorry" and "I forgive you." Almost any friendship can be mended with those little words. It's just as important to forgive as it is to be forgiven.
Respects: R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Our friends might not always agree with our choices, but they should at least respect that they are our choices for our reasons - and vice versa. Without respect, there can't be a true foundation for friendship. The same goes for how we treat others. As Albert Einstein said, "I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university."
Inspires: Be inspiring and surround yourself with people who inspire you. Oprah Winfrey once said, "Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher." Wise words from a wise woman.
Enjoys: Good friends need to enjoy each other's company. Have fun, laugh, get silly, be goofy, and let your hair down! A good belly laugh goes a long way. Having a friend who makes you laugh and shares your sense of humor - and laughs at your jokes even if they're not so funny- is a good friend indeed!
Never judges: As the late Maya Angelou, who passed away this May, famously once said, "The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear." Sometimes we just need someone to sit and listen to us vent, cry, rant and rave without chiming in with judgment, opinions, or advice. Never judge; just listen with love, compassion, and empathy.
Drives you: No, we're not talking about being your personal chauffeur (though that would be nice). We mean a true friend drives you to be the best you can be, drives you to pick yourself up when you are down, and drives you to follow your dreams. And, well, on second thought, maybe she also does drive you home if you had one too many glasses of wine on a girls' night out!
Spas! Above all, a good friend knows that the word "spa" is indeed a verb (even if Webster's Dictionary doesn't quite know it as one yet!) and she knows that "spa-ing" together is something that great friendships are made of!
Celebrate your friendship with your BFF, your sister, or your mom! Call us today to reserve your spa appointments!

Fruit Kabobs
What a fun addition to your backyard BBQ!
Ingredients
- Select your favorite summertime fruits such as Strawberries, Pineapples, Grapes, Kiwi, and Bananas.
- Bamboo or other disposable skewers (such as plastic).
Directions
1. If using wooden or bamboo skewers, make sure all the splinters are removed by
rolling two together in your hands and removing excess splinters.
2. Cut the fruit that is not already small into bite-sized chunks.
3. Simply skewer the fruit pieces, rotating each type to make your kabobs look bright and inviting.
4. Make sure to push them up fairly high so they don't slip off.
5. Arrange kabobs on serving platter and refrigerate until you serve.
Easy and Delicious!

Ask a Therapist
Q: I have noticed dark spots and patches on my face. What can I do to lighten them up?
A: Age spots are usually brown or black, and they pop up on areas of the skin that are constantly exposed to the sun, like your hands and face. If you're good about protecting your skin from ultraviolet rays, you might be able to prevent them. But if you go out regularly without any sunscreen , you'll probably develop them early on in life. The first thing to do is start wearing SPF daily! Next, choose a product with bleaching ingredients such as hydroquinone, or kojic acid. To treat the spots at home, I recommend getting a Microdermabrasion treatments with Chemical Peel every 3-4 weeks for a series of 6.

Amazing Wellness Fact
 Did you know that skipping breakfast could be deadly? In one study, skipping breakfast was linked to an increased risk of premature death. By far, the best meal to skip or, at least minimize, is dinner. Another study reported better weight loss, improvement in diabetic conditions, and increased thyroid efficiency among a group of 595 people who consumed their last meal of the day by 3:00pm.
