Organic Pharmacy – Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills

June 24, 2017

Stepping into this clean, minimal space brings me great joy. However, it’s smelling and feeling every single on of their products that sends me into bliss.

To put it simply – everything is a pure as it gets. And all I can say is you have to experience it all for yourself.

I recently popped over for their classic Rose Quartz Lymphatic Facial. 

I hadn’t had a treatment there in years and could not wait for a re-fresher. I left glowing and radiant and smelling like the cleanest and purest essential oils. I was reeling!

The Velvet Rabbit – By Bronzed Bunny

June 15, 2017

 

What is the vajacial? Just what you’re thinking – a facial for your lady parts weather it’s a weekend getaway, surprise tinder date or a mellow night with bae, let Bronzed Bunny rejuvenate and brighten your bunny with their signature vajacial treatment called, The Velvet Rabbit.

Shaving is bad.

Ingrown hairs can be caused by a buildup of dead and dry skin. The vajacial is a revitalizing treatment done post Brazilian, sugaring (7 -10 days after for optimal results) where they use luxury product line {Epicuren} to cleanse the skin, exfoliate and a apply our hydrating mineral collagen mask under steam. The results brighten and rejuvenate the bikini area while treating and preventing future ingrown hairs, hyper-pigmentation and dryness.

Prepare for your vajacial with Bronzed Bunny’s other signature treatment, Sugaring is the safest and most gentle form of hair removal; that is even safe for certain skin conditions. They use organic sugar paste made of just water, sugar and lemon. The sugar ball is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth, while the sugar seeps into the hair follicle and wraps around the root, the paste is flicked off in the natural hair growth direction eliminating hair breakage and irritation. The sugar itself is a natural humectant which draws moisture into the skin, while naturally exfoliating dead and dry skin.

Over time, sugaring does lead to faster permeant hair reduction and noticeable growth depletion can be seen after just your first two sugaring services.

KNEIPP SPRING LAUNCH SCENTS DELIGHT

June 13, 2017

I’ve been a Kneipp fan since childhood. The little aromatic oils were my favorite Christmas stocking stuffer to both give and receive. Their vibrant healing and medicinal oils, soaps, creams and foams ( and more!) reflect their color therapy take on wellness:

Also known as “Chromotherapy”
  • Colors have a special impact on the body’s energy, balance and strengthen it’s self-healing forces
  • Colors influence our physical, emotional, spiritual and mental states.
  • Internal studies at Kneipp® show a significant effect on the body when Kneipp ® Bath Oils contain color.
No doubt, these brightly colored packages and their contents will give you a major mood boost and the scents are equally bright and fresh.
Slip in a tub with Kneipp and slip into summer!

 

Back in the 19th century, nestled deep in the heart of Germany, Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897), a naturopath and priest, cured himself of a severe case of tuberculosis using the very nature around him, combined with cold and hot water therapies (hydrotherapy). At that time, the disease was usually fatal, but Kneipp came across an eighteenth-century book about hydrotherapy that inspired him to immerse himself several times a week in the icy Danube River. These brief exposures to cold water seemed to bolster his immune system, sending his disease into remission.

Miraculously cured, he began his quest to provide all people a simple plan to improve and maintain good health with the healing powers of water combined with plants and herbs. Sebastian was famously known as a healer. Thousands of people visited him in the foot hills of the German Alps to learn his naturopathic methods and to be “cured”.

Sebastian Kneipp became friends and close partners with a Würzburg pharmacist who shared his conviction using naturopathic medicine and healing remedies. Using only natural plant essences and pure ingredients as a base, they created the formulas that still live on today in an extensive range of bath and body treatments, now with an international cult following.

ORIGINS OF THE “CARIÑO” MASSAGE

Meet the creator of the “Cariño” technique ~ Johnny Ray Nelson, CMT of 20 years

In the two decades since Johnny Ray first obtained his massage certification, he has studied a wide range of therapeutic techniques that serve as the foundation for his signature style called the “Cariño Massage.” These techniques include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Sports, Reflexology, Thai, Pre/Post-Natal, Lomi Lomi, Reflexology and Integrated Breathing. He mastered these techniques through the many hours he has spent working with chiropractors, physical therapists, geriatric therapists, and at exclusive spas in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.

The birth of the “Cariño Massage” stems from a terrifying incident in 2003 when an airplane crashed into Johnny Ray’s apartment building in Hollywood. A three-story fall from his apartment left Johnny with life-threatening injuries, among them a broken back that required immediate surgery.

Professionally, physically, and financially devastated by the accident, and told by physicians in Los Angeles that he would never be able to practice massage again, Johnny Ray sought low-cost rehabilitation in his family’s home country of El Salvador.

In El Salvador Johnny Ray’s path to recovery was facilitated by a blind healer who used Ancient Mayan and Papil Indian traditions and beliefs for healing, centering, and realigning the body. These Ancient principles forever altered Johnny Ray’s approach and attitude towards healing and would ultimately form the foundation for the “Cariño Massage” technique.

Cariño is a Spanish word used to express deep caring for someone or something, and it was the “Cariño” that was gifted to Johnny Ray in Central America that restored his body, mind and spirit. This new understanding of healing gave him the faith in himself to start massaging again.

After four challenging years rebuilding his business and fully developing the “Cariño Massage,” Johnny Ray has expanded his private practice into a high-end massage boutique in the heart of West Hollywood. It is here that he keeps the Ancient traditions passed down to him by the blind healer alive by sharing the gift of Cariño with his exclusive client base, and training other licensed, certified massage therapists in his trademark “Cariño” style.
