Oleksandra Spa Las Vegas


I know it has been a long time since my last review. I got a new job and have been busy adjusting to a new rhythm. However this past weekend with time off for the holidays  I was able to catch up on my passion of spa going. My mother in law was here visiting for Christmas and so we  decided to take a family trip to Vegas. We stayed at a hotel on the strip which later we discovered  changes a resort fee . That fee includes a $17 pass to the spa and fitness center. On day one we walked  from one end of the Strip  to the other, needless to say we were in  need of some R & R. We threw on our sweats and jeans and headed down stairs to the spa. As soon as we entered we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us around the facility. 
It smelled like a Eucalyptus from the steam room and it was so nicely decorated. We were given plush terry robes and a pair of flip flops that we were allowed to take with us. First stop was steam room, then jacuzzi and lastly sauna. It is amazing the benefits from steam and saunas. You can detox and sweat out any pollutants through your sweat glands. It also can help with water retention and chest congestion if you are sick. Sauna and steam rooms are ancient rooms that were considered places for people to talk and even were considered a sacred activity in some cultures.  
I felt so relaxed and happy after our visit to the spa. We drank alot of water and tea and also snacked on some fruit while we were there. I rate this spa in the top 10 that I have experienced so far. More spa reviews to come with spa adventures from around the globe:) Happy Holiday's and take some time for you to unwind after the stress of the holiday season and slip into a spa for some rejuvenation.

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...

Welcome to Beauty 4 Peace

Today is the beginning of a path toward beauty with passion, integrity and a sense of mission .  My mission statement: "I will bridge the gap between peace, elegance, beauty,nature and science. Leading the industry with integrity and a passion for beauty." My name is Callie and I live in LA with my husband. My passion for beauty began when I used to watch my mother pile on Chanel in her bathroom  (which looked more like a cosmetic counter in Nordstrom:)) when I was about 5 years old. This inspired me to unlock my inner artist and try playing with makeup. When I was only 10 years old and my grandmother took me to the Lancome counter and bought me my first full regime of skincare. Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing has been ingrained in me similarly to the way the brushing your teeth and doing your homework was to most of my friends. My first job in the industry was at Lancome in Macy's when I was 15 years old. ( I don't think that it was ...

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 t...
