Down for the count (again)

Just a short note to my readers that I should be back blogging soon.

I was rushed to the ER on Sunday evening due to a severe gall bladder attack that dropped my vitals to a dangerous level. It was pretty scary for several hours. I was admitted to the hospital and had surgery Wednesday morning and returned home late last night. I'm on a lot of pain meds right now, but I am so anxious to get back to writing reviews for you as I have received so many wonderful products in recent weeks to tell you about.

Thanks for your patience!

Fairmont Newport Beach Opens New Willow Stream Spa

The Fairmont Newport Beach put the finishing touch on its $32 million dollar renovation with the completion of its new Willow Stream Spa back in April. The 8,000-square foot boutique spa features seven treatment rooms, and is the ninth signature Willow Stream Spa to open within the company, but the first offer the "U Room™," a private do-it-yourself treatment room. Along with this new offering, the Spa will offer unique signature experiences such as the High Maintenance express treatment for those always on the move, the Generosity Treatment for anyone who cherishes California's tranquil beaches or the Eco-Chic body experience that embodies Fairmont's dedication to the environment.

The Spa also offers a private lounge, or a spa within a spa environment, that lends itself ideally for spa parties, intimate gatherings with friends or family, or just a personal escape. The male spa guest will revel in a separate, easy-to-understand menu of male-friendly services, as well as the "M Room™," a signature treatment room equipped with a plasma screen television, wireless headsets and the latest issues of sports and business magazines. To enhance the overall spa experience, guests can reserve one of the poolside cabanas at the adjacent Palms Sky Pool Deck and bask in their post-treatment glow.

A sampling of the spa's signature treatments include:


* The U Room™ –A new spa experience that's exclusive to Willow Stream and making its debut in Newport Beach. Escape from everything—including spa therapists—in one of the spa's two private sanctuaries. Treatments in these rooms, which feature their own steam shower and whirlpool, are DIY; you have time by yourself to create your own luxurious spa experience using aromatic exfoliating scrubs, moisturizing muds and detoxifying bath salts. You can play, relax, pamper – it's all up to you.

* The Generosity massage – Help Willow Stream contribute to a charitable cause by choosing this aromatherapy massage. Ten percent of the profits from each treatment are donated to the local "Adopt-a-Beach" program, an initiative sponsored by the California Coastal Commission that helps protect and restore the California coast. A customized blend of aromatherapy oils will be used in your rubdown, which also includes an extended foot and scalp massage.

* The High Maintenance experience – For the time-pressed spa-goer who still wants luxurious pampering, this express, multi-service treatment will have you de-stressed and looking glamorous in no time. The 90-minute treatment includes a personalized facial as well as a manicure and reflexology pedicure. Offered in one of the spa’s luxury suites, you'll have two therapists working on you at once to make sure you’re out the door in time for your next appointment.

* The High Heals pedicure – All of that shopping can sure take a toll on your feet! Kick of your new Jimmy Choos and soothe your soles with a reflexology foot massage. The relaxing rubdown is followed by a thorough foot and nail grooming.

* Eco-Chic body experience – Can you be earth-friendly and luxurious at the same time? Sometimes the best things in life are "green." Using products made from organic ingredients and pure plant essences demonstrates a reverence for the Earth and for us. Cherish an experience that provides you the ultimate luxury in pampering, using products that are biodegradable, non-polluting and chemical-free. A relaxing footbath is followed by mineral body scrub, a full body massage and a mini face treatment.

* Crystal Clear experience – This treatment embodies Orange County at its finest. Inhale the aroma of local botanicals like orange oil, lavender and sage during this full-body exfoliation, luxurious massage, and body wrap. You’ll feel crystal clear as warmed rose crystals are pressed against various pressure points to help draw out toxins and leave your body energized.

To book your spa experience at the Willow Stream Spa At Fairmont Newport Beach, you can call 1(949) 428-5799. The Fairmont Newport Beach is located at 4500 MacArthur Blvd in Newport Beach, CA.

Review: Supermoist Body Moisturizer by Skin Doctors

Sometimes there are beauty products that make claims that are too good to be true, making it difficult for anyone to discern which beauty products really live up to their claims. This is why I always want to try products for a good duration of time before I write my reviews. Supermoist Body Moisturizer, a new product from Skin Doctors, definitely lives up to its promises.

While the website says that Supermoist provides moisture levels up to 450% in 30 minutes, I wasn't exactly sure how to measure that. I can tell you that my skin felt so soft within minutes of applying this product. At first I wondered if it was a tinted moisturizer, as it has some beige tint to it. However, this "tint" is more of a skin illuminator and doesn't make you appear to be wearing any sort of bronzer or self tanner.

Supermoist contains sunscreen, which is always a bonus to protect your skin from the damage of the sun. It also contains antioxidants to combat free radicals. Supermoist contains two ingredients that are plant based from African origins. Resurrection Plant - found in the desert of South Africa, uses a miraculous system which allows it to avoid death in environments where prolonged periods of drought are followed by sudden and intense rain. This plant is extremely rich in antioxidants and is especially helpful in rectifying oxidative changes caused by UV. The second plant is Tamarind - is native to tropical Africa and is a popular addition to many foods and beverages. It contains oligosaccharides which are potent immune stimulators and effective moisturizers.

I've used Supermoist exclusively as my body moisturizer for several weeks and have noticed how absolutely soft and supple my skin has become. It is such a fabulous product, I've been recommending it to all of my friends and family.

Supermoist Body Moisturizer is available on the Skin Doctors website and at Ulta.

Review: Zerran All Natural Hair Care

My hair is really finicky. If I put too much moisture into it, it gets oily, if I use regular shampoo, it dries out. Many times I have to change up which styling products I use each day, otherwise my scalp dries out and flakes. Oh, and let's not forget that I color my hair to cover that hideous gray that reminds me I will be 33 this summer.

So when I was given the chance to try Zerran's Oily Hair Dandruff Shampoo and Sulfate-free Conditioner, I decided to give it a shot. I was assured that it wouldn't strip my hair of the color I had just put in using Robert Craig's hair color and that Zerran's products would resolve my hair care issues.

What they say about the Oily Hair Dandruff Shampoo:

Helps to reduce oiliness, flakiness and itching associated with oily hair dandruff. Coffee and tea tree extracts help fight free radicals and other natural essences sooth the scalp. The sulfate-free and paraben-free formula is scented by natural tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil (no artificial fragrances added).

What they say about the Sulfate-free Conditioner:

The new Oily Hair Dandruff Shampoo works beautifully with Zerran's Sulfate-Free Conditioner, which conditions the hair naturally (gentle 100% vegan formula), and does not include the harmful ammonium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate found in most hair care products. (Leave in or rinse; color & perm safe, antioxidant formula, fragrance free.) For normal hair, Zerran's Sulfate Free Shampoo cleans gently and thoroughly, with all natural ingredients. The natural oils of tangerine, rosemary, orange and ylang ylang provide a healthy, natural scent rather than artificial fragrances.

What I thought:

The Shampoo had a semi-thick green silt clay-like consistency to it and the Conditioner was a bit thinner, white and silky feeling. The Shampoo had a nice eucalyptus fragrance and the Conditioner had this fruity-herbal fragrance going on (even though the bottle says fragrance free). I loved both. Within a week I noticed that my dry scalp resolved itself and my hair had a fabulous shine to it. It seemed to balance it out perfectly; my hair wasn't too dry, but it also wasn't oily in the least. My hair color remained intact and didn't fade at all. I've been using both products consistently for several weeks now and I really love the change it has made in my hair.

Zerran has a variety of Shampoos, Conditioners, Styling Enhancers and Bath & Body products. You can visit their website www.zerran.com where you can learn more about how to order from them.

Spa Time For The Men

Many times when you think of going to the spa, its about a girl's day out for some serious pampering. However, more men are finding that going to the spa doesn't need to be reserved soley for the ladies. While the men are discovering just how fun it is to spa, the Spa's themselves are finding new ways to bring the guys in and keep them coming back.

From Flat Screen TVs to Pool Tables, here’s the latest in what spas are doing to cater to men:

Spa Toccare, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
www.theborgata.com
With men comprising 40 percent of its clientele, Spa Toccare at Borgata in Atlantic City, has created treatments such as the Yo’ Rock Facial and the Classic Man Body Treatment, which are specifically designed for men. In between treatments, guys can play pool, sip a cocktail, or smoke a cigar in the dark wood lounge; they can even watch a game or catch the latest sports scores on the flat screen TV.

JW Desert Ridge Resort
www.jwdesertridgeresort.com
Revive Spa (www.jwrevivespa.com) at JW Desert Ridge Resort, Phoenix’s largest and most luxe resort, continually creates new ways for guy to relax and rejuvenate. The new “Gentleman’s Escape” getaway includes a bath of his choice to relieve muscle aches, an 80-minute Therapeutic Massage and Guy’s Total Wellness Facial which specifically addresses razor burn.

Also new is a “Yoga Stretch for Golfers,” a 45-minute workout designed to improve his swing.

The Spa at Camelback Inn
www.camelbackinn.com
Camelback Inn Spa in Scottsdale offers treatments such as a Defense Zone Facial for Men, which clears the way for an effortless shave. The men's locker room features a shave bar inside the steam room, a lounge with a plasma TV, a cold plunge and a Swiss shower. And, to ease men into a spa, the men's locker room has a massage room, a "wet room," and a facial room so they don't have to leave the locker room to get their treatments.

Wilderness Adventure Spa, Spring Creek Ranch
www.springcreekranch.com
Wilderness, well-being, wildlife, and the Wild West are all on the menu for men at the Wilderness Adventure Spa at Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Set against the backdrop of the Grand Teton Mountain Range, which frames the resort’s backyard and creates a natural oasis for relaxation, the Wilderness Adventure Spa offers the perfect backdrop for a rugged spa experience.

Of particular interest is the Men’s Purifying facial designed to offer guys a deep clean and soothe aggressively exposed skin due to sports or shaving. Plant-based products featuring soothing Cypress and Tea Tree, vitamins and antioxidants ensure immediate results.

Hotel Gansevoort
www.hotelgansevoort.com
New York’s only “Urban Resort,” Hotel Gansevoort’s unisex spa, Gansevoort Spa & Lounge, has a full bar and lounge seating to make even the most “manly man” comfortable. Black robes enhance the spa’s masculinity, and a floor-to-ceiling waterfall urinal made of red glass is not to be missed. Many of the spa’s male clients are business men who go to the spa at lunch specifically to close business deals.
