Spa Review: Santa Monica Willow Spa

I took this photo at the Botanical Gardens in Denver CO. 
Today I am really excited to be attending a once a year event at my favorite spa in Santa Monica Willow Spa!
 I used to live right across the street from this place for years and only discovered it once I was moving. This spa offers an exclusive treatment that no one else offers in LA called a  Japaneses Enzyme Bath. 

When you arrive to Willow  it is as though you have entered a portal that leads you to a tropical garden in Hawaii or Thailand. There is a waterfall and plumeria trees and the house looks like a Hawaiian Tree House:). Converting this house into a spa has given it a sense of  warmth. I had to book this treatment because I was so intrigued. When I  arrived  I was shown to the back where they have you change into your robe and give you a enzyme drink ( that tastes like honey and I think it is a Japanese brand that is supposed to add with digestion) and some ginger tea served on a tray with a Hawaiian  Orchid.  You relax in their garden patio before your expert comes and briefs you on the treatment. Then you are shown into the baths. Normally when I think of a bath it has water.... but these had what looked like wood chips.
I hope this is description gives you a better idea of what it is like..................................................
 Japanese Enzyme Bath is a deep heating treatment that was developed for Olympian athletes in Japan . It is a dry bath consisting of finely cut wood shavings made from a combination of rice bran and fruit and  vegetable enzymes. It has the potential to assist your body in its natural detoxifying process up to five times more effective.

I LOVED IT!!!!

I it a must try sometime. To finish the treatment I received  a Thai massage:) This is when I fell in love with willow spa:) I wanted to share one of LA's best kept secrets with you all:) 
  
The event tonight will offer complimentary spa services, raffle prizes and vendors. I will be getting the facial:) 
 Last year I was so suprised that I won the big raffle and took home a  bag full of goodies with a value of $175. I will post pictures later tonight from the event and the latest products that I find tonight:) Stay tuned!!!!

Day 2 : Want to start a blog !!!!!! Read this post for helpful tips

Day 2: Reaching out to people in the field that you want to be in and asking for their valuable experience and advise......... I recently reached out to my favorite blogger and asked her what she thinks was the reasons for her success and what advice could she offer me starting out. Her response was so warm, clear and to the point. This really has helped me in creating a vision and action plan for my blogging. Wanted to share this to anyone who maybe stuck with the idea and dream in their head to actually taking some sort of action because you are overwhelmed where to start. That's where I was !!!! Hope this helps shed some light:) This was her response: Hi Callie!   My advice is to not worry about the end result and just do/make/post/share what is most interesting to you. When I started the blog, I had no idea it would lead to a book- I was just having fun with it, and I think that sort of came across to people and made it more fun an approachable to follow. Focus...

As a working mother from home it can be hard to accomplish tasks. Does anyone else have this problem? It is so easy to just want to snack, make coffee, search the internet and so on. The hardest thing I am challenging is launching a business and then doing all the other house chores and running around I need to. One thing I am determined to do is be more efficient with my time and also write down all my activities so I don't loose track of time. But the funniest thing is, since I am The Green Beauty Mom  you would think the first I do is get up and wash my face and do a skin care ritual and then put on some organic green makeup:) Well because of breast feeding 6 times a night and waking up half awake the first thing I reach for now is COFFEE!!!!! Sound familiar to any mom's out there? Just keeping it real today-The Green Beauty Mom
