Happy Pamper Yourself Thanksgiving.

Is it Thanksgiving already? This month has just flown by and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you, my wonderful customers and friends, for being so supportive. And I truly appreciate my invaluable Serve the Goddess staff, I feel so fortunate to work with such an amazing group of talented individuals.

I recently read a quote by author Melodie Beattie that resonated so much: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life... it can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."

I am grateful every day and delightfully relish every opportunity to show it. I hope that during this season you are able to bask in the love of your family and friends. There is nothing better than that.

The holiday season is an opportunity for us to express our gratitude for our loved ones as well as practice being more loving to ourselves. It is a time to celebrate the heaven we have created right here on earth. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

Want a stress free holiday?

If your methods of coping with stress aren't contributing to your greater emotional and physical health, it's time to find healthier ones. There are many healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, but they all require change. You can either alter the situation or change your reaction. It's your choice, and we hope you choose the former.

Stress Management Strategy #2: Alter the situation.

If you can't avoid a stressful situation, try to alter it. Figure out what you can do to change things so the problem doesn't present itself in the future. Often, this involves changing the way you communicate and operate in your daily life.

It is important to express your feelings instead of bottling them up. If something or someone is bothering you, communicate your concerns in an open and respectful way. If you don't voice your feelings, resentment will build and the situation will likely remain the same.
So here's something to try the next time you find that you've gone mute in a stressful situation. Visualize yourself in the driver's seat of your car, and your problems are hurtling toward you. Rather than taking a backseat in your life, deal with those problems head on. And do your best to anticipate and prevent them.

After all, a wise individual once said, "Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to walk boldly through them."

Have you tried Hot seashell massage therapy?

I wanted to introduce our newest treatment: hot seashell massage therapy. See below for more info.
What is it?

Hot seashell massage is a modality alternately attributed to Hawaii and the South Pacific Islands, and it utilizes heated seashells to expedite muscle relaxation.

How does it work?

Seashell massage employs smoothed shells filled with cement or organic materials. The sealed and resin-coated shells vary in size and shape. Larger, fanned shells cover surfaces like the back; smaller, conical shells fit between the toes, or into small "knots" of tension.

During a seashell massage, the therapist may opt to use only shells or alternate shells with her hands. They are heated in a water bath first and once the temperature is comfortable for the client, they are quickly dried and applied to the body. Shells can create familiar, sweeping strokes, or simply rest on a tense area.

What are the benefits?

In addition to warming muscles, the seashells have mild, exfoliating capabilities, and often complement scrubs or mud wraps. The therapist might add aromatherapy oils, lotions, or creams to enhance the treatment.

Proponents of seashell massage attest to the shells' positive vibrations as an added healing component. Many seashell massage therapists consider seashells energetically uplifting.

Give a special gift of spa!

Give of yourself.

What you give truly comes back ten-fold. And happiness is a state of mind. Feeling happy makes you feel young, and it is the small acts of kindness and caring that you show to others that really makes the difference in your happiness levels.

The free and most simple way to do this is to show your smile! This is a special gift and not only will this cheer you up, but the most important thing is that you will have cheered others up!

Also, if you make every effort to have a positive attitude, this will rub off on those you meet. Once this happens, there is no stopping the spread of positive feelings to those they meet! And performing small acts of kindness is another way to make all the difference in someone's day.

We suggest giving a Serve the Goddess gift certificate https://servethegoddess.boomtime.com/lgift to someone who makes a difference in your life. Especially someone who wouldn't expect it, because it feels so good to put a smile on someone else's face. This will place you further along on the road to staying young and being happy. By giving of yourself, you will receive so much in return.

Reduce Stress With Massage And Stay Young.

Too much stress has an almost unbelievable way of quickly aging people. Completely ridding our lives of stress is impossible. But fortunately we can adopt simple techniques for better coping with life's problems.

The first step to reducing stress is to reduce the physical chaos around you. This can be clutter in many forms: your car, home, and office. This helps you get organized and clean up your surroundings.

Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid setting unachievable goals. Many people strive to be the best. However, we all have limitations. Accept limitations and avoid undue stress.

Also, you can learn relaxation techniques to turn to when you are at your wit's end. This can promote peace, rest, and sleep. Finding it difficult to relax? Check out our menu of massage services, you can select the one that's right for your needs, or customize a spa package based on your budget.

July 4th relax and spend time with your family.

Happy July 2nd to you! I am so relieved to say goodbye to June gloom and hello to July.
How are your plans shaping up for the long weekend? July 4th makes a great outdoor holiday ideal for barbecuing with family and friends and we get 3 whole days! As you will be outdoors this weekend make sure you protect your skin with the correct SPF. Our featured article below explains why.

I plan to stay home and spend some quality time with my finance this long weekend. Our August wedding is fast approaching and we still have some preparation to do, so doing nothing this holiday feel so good. We did do our cake tasting yesterday in Torrance so that's one more thing to cross off the list.
Want to know which cake we picked? We went for the chocolate with chocolate pudding filling. Yummy!

If you know a Bride to be let her know about our bridal spa packages!

With all the endless preparation that goes into a wedding it's rewarding to know there's a mobile spa service that delivers relaxation to your home or hotel location.


Wondering how to relax and spend time with friends and family this weekend?
A client asked me this question the other day. "How can I spend quality time with my family without giving up my spa day? I don't want to give up my special relaxation time but I want to see my family too". I asked her if she'd ever considered bringing in our chair massage service to her gathering.


Our chair massage works right in with your family gathering. You and your family members take turns to receive a 15- 30 minute neck and shoulder massage. This short massage will not interfere with the activities and it is extremely beneficial for relaxing tight shoulders, releasing tension in the lower back and neck.

Another reason chair massage works at gatherings is you and your family do not have to disrobe. We do the massage over your clothes. If you have any family members or friends embarrassed about removing their clothes, as in table massage, introduce them to our chair massage.

Check out our video.

Have a great weekend and squeeze some massage or spa time into your weekend -you can do it all.
