No April Fool here!

No fooling at Spa 131 . . . We have your Facial Sampler Package 3 for $180 ($60 each). Includes your April Cleansing Facial with appropriate peel. Then your May Enzyme Facial to hydrate and shine. Finally, your June Facial with, well, whatever you need in June. Sounds SO delightful, doesn't it? But why not add a (spray) tanning package for another $100 and you'll be Springing toward Summer ahead of everyone else.

Have you ever wondered what the real benefit of receiving a facial is? Take a look at this cool chart to open up your eyes!

If you're REALLY interested in Fooling Mother Nature, let me tell you about Circadia's SWiCH system - It's known as the "Anti-Peel." It works from the inside-out, rather than the outside-in, and causes your skin to actually switch on an internal growth stimulation and, in effect, turn back Mother Nature - and she is absolutely fine with that! We are so excited about this treatment regimen that we are inviting you to come and bring a friend to our Thursday Night Transformation Party. This event is for 4 and their besties - Food, Wine & Turn Back Time! Regular cost for a singular SWiCH treatment is $155. You may attend ONE Food, Wine & Turn Back Time Party for just $125 per person. You'll be able to eat, drink and be merry. You'll receive a SWiCH treatment and even leave with a little take home kit. The first event is Thursday, April 9 for the first 4 that respond - along with their guest. You'll need to call to reserve your spots. 803-251-9400 Remember this: You should really take care of your face NOW, because in 10 years it's going to be the face you wish you had!

Our Massage Sampler Package (3 monthly for $165) has been such a hit that we are going to continue to offer ONE MORE MONTH. You may choose a 60 minute Relaxing Swedish Massage, a 60 minute Tension Tamer Deep Tissue Massage or a 60 minute Himalayan Salt Stone Massage. Mix it up with all, or stick to just your favorite. These will be good for April, May and June of 2015.

Packages have been such a hit that we are also offering a PEDI PACKAGE. That would be 3 months (April, May & June) for only $125. That's a $25 savings. Our new NAIL SANCTUARY is different than any where in the Midlands. No sitting up at an uncomfortable table. At Spa 131 you recline in a comfortable, enveloping leather chair, with pillows and a blanket while Amy works on your fingers and toes. You'll have a relaxing and warm neck wrap along with an eye pillow available to melt your stresses away. Hot or cold beverages are available for this and ALL services at Spa 131.


Now I'm going to bring up something rather gross, but it needs to be addressed. Close your eyes and picture this . . . that guy that always, always, always has hairs sticking out of his nose. Sorry to do that to you, but you know who I'm talking about. If you don't know if this could be you, may I suggest that you run take a look in the closest mirror. Spa 131 can help! No! Don't be embarrassed, just let us help.

We can wax that so quickly and (really!) painlessly that you'll be actually amazed. This quick service for men and (sadly) women is just $20. We will rid the hair on your ears, Guys, at the same time, if you would like. It's just $20 for the nose and doing both nose and ears is only $30. You'll be so glad you did this. You'll be a hero to all those that need it, too, if you just let them know. I promise you that it isn't awful! Remember that we wax whatever you need waxed!!!

Now, I am going to go make some Spring Time Deliciousness that I want to share with you. It's HEALTHY ICE CREAM! Really - and with just 4 ingredients:
* 2 Bananas, cut into 1-inch slices and frozen
*1/2 cup of frozen Strawberries (or other berries), sliced
*2 Tbsp Almond Milk
*1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
1) Place banana slices on a plate, separating each slice. Place slices in freezer for a least 2 hours but overnight is best.
2. Remove strawberries and bananas from freezer and place in food processor, blend until they are the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
3. Add almond milk (more or less for desired texture) and vanilla. Blend until smooth and well-mixed.
4. Transfer mixture into a freezer container and freeze until solid OR if fruit is frozen enough you can eat right away just like soft serve. Mmmm. My fruit is frozen now and calling my name!

That's it for this month except for this skin care tip: Look for Hyaluronic Acid as an important ingredient in your skin care products. Hyaluronic Acid is something that our bodies produce - most prevalent in your eyes and as part of the fluid that lubricates your joints. In skin care products it acts as a humectant - that is like a sponge to attract and trap moisture. We are not talking about any additional oils, so this ingredient is good for ALL skin types. It is even called the, "Fountain of Youth." Some research suggests that injecting a specific hyaluronic acid product (Juvederm, Juvederm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus by Allergan) into smile lines reduces the lines for up to one year. We have Hyaluronic Acid available to purchase in a gel form and in many Circadia products that we carry.

Come see us very soon - Call, Write, or Send Flowers - we just want to hear from you. While we do post specific hours of service on our website, remember that we work by appointment and are willing to see you at other times, if that is what you specifically need. Just let us know. Thank you for your continued support and for the trust you put in us. We strive to never let you down.

Cheers and Happy Spring!
