Boasting Basement

 

As we wander the streets peddling our wares, we may stumble across a fantastic Spa or Salon with great ambience and energy, a great receptionist who does cartwheels to impress or a massage therapist who irons out the cricks in the neck.

You may even be a mentor or Spa business coach who might have caught our fancy on Twitter,  so ‘yes’ this little English bird’s team will be tweeting  good vibes from the rooftops.

For this reason alone we think you deserve a “shout out”.  We all love recognition from time to time and we are saving the boasting basement for those we feel deserve it. …

silence your cell in the spa

 

How do you deal with the annoying cell phone user in your spa?

 

1. Do you have a basket at the door for all visitors to your spa allowing them to dump their cell in there waiting for their exit before they can get their sticky paws on them again?

2. Or, do you have nicely plastered images all over your spa warning people to silence their cell when entering the spa?

3. Do you have an invisible beam across the door way that zaps their shins when they pass the area with a cell phone that is not silenced?…

can you blow that bubble just a bit bigger?

I feel bad for the young people of today who might have never recieved any mentoring about how to behave socially.  You know the how to live ‘life in general’ how to behave ‘publicly’ or how to read ‘body language’…it seems that more and more young people are fending for themselves and only communicating through texts, Facebook etc.   All of these tools are great to use and I for one use them.  But, I am proud to say that I had a foundation built on how to treat people, what not to say and to treat people like I would like to be treated before being plunged into the technology world.…

Hummus for the skin!

 

Hummus is not just good with chips, but great for the skin too!

Some of us are cursed with those speckled brown spots on our hands and face due to ageing or from too much UVA exposure causing hyper-pigmentation. There are lots of amazing products out there on our shelves to help diminish the appearance of age spots. But due to the wonderful flavour of Hummus, its creamy consistency and wonderful lightening properties that it has on the skin – I would like to share with you two recipes where Hummus can help brighten up your skin and won’t give you a double chin!…

Would I hire you in my spa?

In today’s economy, most employers are bombarded with resumes from keen and eager job seekers.  The average employer spends around ten seconds looking at your resume.  As negative as this may sound, most employers due to work overload, interviewing and sifting through the mass pile of resumes are actually looking for a reason to ‘not’ interview you.

In this increasingly competitive job market you must have a professional resume in order to stand out from your competition.  The sole purpose of your resume is to make a good impression, with the hopes of obtaining an interview.

Scratch n sniff at the spa

I wish this blog would come with a “scratch n sniff” link, but unless Microsoft get their heads together and create such a feature, you will have to use your imagination instead!

For over 10 years I have been working in the Spa or Salon industry in some capacity. During this time I have also on many occasions tried to frequent as many Spa’s on my days off for some ‘me’ time. You know that time when you want to be made to feel ooooh so special and loved as your worries and concerns with the world are drifted away into oblivion by the sounds of the dolphins or the waves lashing against the rocks?
