$50 at Spa Week … Go Here!

It’s the week to RELAX your body with a hot stone massage – and your hair with a Keratin treatment.

It’s the week to CLEANSE your face with diamond microdermabrasion, your body with a sugar scrub – and your colon with a colonic.

It’s the week to BANISH dead skin, unwanted hair, inches from your midsection – and old ways of thinking about spa & wellness.

Going to the spa is no longer just about preening and pampering – it’s about discovering new treatments to alleviate chronic pain, reducing stress for your heart’s sake and embracing the wellness lifestyle for better long-term health.

Spa Week is Baaaack!!

Spa Week is back!

Spa Week Spring 2012 takes place April 16th – 22nd with its signature $50 treatments all across North America. Booking begins on Monday, March 12th, when the listing of participating spas and their treatments goes live on SpaWeek.com. Continue reading

Are You Really Really Nice?

Did Florida Evans need a spa day?

Are you really really nice to yourself?

Make a promise to do something for YOU today — it doesn’t matter if it’s for ONLY 5 minutes — just indulge in your bliss, beauty, life, passion and tell everyone they simply have to WAIT.

Let’s not be the martyr like Florida Evans from Good Times (what was so good, anyway?); Beulah (the favorite maid on the sitcom circuit); or, your momma?.

We know so many amazing women who have sacrificed their health/well being/and passion for their family and for what cost — the gift of diabetes, hypertension, stress, depression and arthritis?

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Sisters, it’s time for an intervention for self-preservation — be really really really nice to self-everyday.

I am here to say that nurturing our thoughts is imperative, get selfish, pamper body, love up on self with healthy thoughts and tell the job, man, and kids to take a time out (today).

Recently read and purchased a great prayer book by Rosemarie Baker, ‘Real Life Prayers for Real People, In Life’s Real Situations. The book talks about everyday situations – from family driving you crazy to being bold on your thoughts, being broke and the power of meditation. The book retails for $10 and you can purchase it @minarose@aol.com.

Great book by Rosemarie Baker

What will you do to be really nice to yourself today?
