Nail Tech Heaven or You Guys Rock the Spa

We have probably the best nail department in the world and of course, I do not have statistics, but our nail department rocks. They are professional, they are happy, fun people and they simply take a simple manicure or pedicure and turn it into an art form. Like all of our departments, they are outstanding. Today we took a little field trip...part field, part training (we trained on Jane Iredale makeup, lips, cheeks, blush, and makeup to match the nail color of hands and feet), then we saw the movie Hairspray. It was really over the top to see smiles and laughs. In the spa biz, people really don't realize the hours and the professionalism it takes to make you beautiful, beautimous, and over the top gorgeous. While we were there we saw our ad on the MUVICO screen. AMAZING! And Hairspray was over the top wonderful..if only people were like this everyday, understanding our differences, seeing life without color of skin and just having fun. I love diversity, different cultures, different points of views...that is our whole spa. What a great day at Muvico www.muvico.com and I almost forgot...Bogart's http://www.bogartsofboca.com/ how could I forget. The food was fabulous...and the service was over the top. Just an incredible day.

Atlantic Avenue Beauty Challenge

4 Clients, 4 Teams, 4 Weeks to complete the Atlantic Avenue Beauty Challenge. On Tuesday, August 14th, the challenge started with the four teams meeting to decide on their Beauty Program for their client. The 4 teams are Team Tina, Team Alison, Team Erin and Team Diana. The clients and teams will appear in the November issue of Atlantic Avenue magazine, and you will be able to vote for the best makeover.

Each team consists of cast members from each department, hair, skin and makeup, nails, fitness, and massage. The clients have been scheduled for their appointments for the next four weeks. The team leaders are taking notes on the treatments, the results, and the recommendations. On September 18th, the clients will come in for hair and professional makeup and their portraits with the professional photographer.

This is so much fun....

July 4th Fireworks on the Terrace

Fireworks, N. Spa tattoos, red, white and blue bead braids, red white and blue nails, red and blue hair extensions...it was a complete day of fun, laughter and family. Of course, our fabulous N. Spa team took to the streets to provide the crowd with plenty of N. Spa beauty 2-go. Kids, adults, adults pretending to be kids...we all had a July 4th over the top celebration. The tattoos were a hit (idea provided by our very own Palm Beach Media) and appeared on ankles, legs, arms, heads, hands...they were everywhere. If you missed getting your own tattoo, don't despair, we will be back in production for the next beach holiday.

The rains came, but it didn't dampen our enthusiasm, as the celebration moved inside the hotel. The candid photos were provided by our Nicole (hair stylist) famous Delray dad, who is a fixture at Delray Photo and was kind enough to shoot pictures all day....http://rufusimages.net/. Thanks to James M. Ward.

The fireworks capped off a soon to be annual event. The people who had the most fun were the ones who came to the spa all day for massages, facials, pedicures...sat on the terrace, ate lunch...took a nap...and then watched the fireworks. What a perfect spa day!

Spa La La, Spa Treatment Rooms & the Lounge

This will be the last in the series of all about the new spa, because we have literally thousands of things to talk about, none the least....our contest the Atlantic Avenue Beauty Makeover Challenge. So, now for the WOW of the spa...you walk past the fitness area. We have fabulous trainers that really put you in shape plus coming September 1st, we will have an over the top much needed Yoga Studio in Delray Beach, with hot Yoga, cold Yoga & room temperature Yoga.

We have a room totally devoted to abs...core, middle, you know the part of the body that we seem to hate. Tight abs, 6-pack abs, belly buttons, anyway, you will get results...it's how we eat too. More on nutrition in Women's Health Month in October.

On to the 2nd floor of the spa....where all of the spa treatments take place. You walk upstairs (or if you are disabled you fly upstairs on the magic red carpet), when you get to the top of the stairs, your first view is magical and you will say WOW, this is beautiful or WOW, this is gorgeous, or WOW, what a view. I love taking people upstairs for the first time, just for the WOW factor. You've never heard so many WOW's. There is a small SUN ROOM (Lisa Jacobs termed it the SUN ROOM and it stuck). The Ocean TERRACE is where you want to be with lounges, sofas, umbrellas...even when it is dog day August hot, there is the ocean breeze on the terrace.

The first time I saw 4 girlfriends eating lunch on the terrace and having a grand time, it was magical...this is what the spa is for...the experience of it all. A spa is fun by yourself, but sometimes you have to share your spa. And it is not just the treatment, it is the whole sha-bang....soup to nuts...it's about feeling wonderful, warm, fuzzy, magical, & special. Okay, I just got lost...now to the treatment rooms...see for yourself, but the ceilings are painted with clouds.

See what I mean....this is Cloud #5...Don't you want to be on a cloud some days...In fact, I've pretty much determined that most days could be best spent on a cloud, or riding the red carpet, or just dreaming away staring at the waves. You know, life is so spectacular, you just have to live it, even if it is on Cloud 9. Aren't we the lucky ones?
