Attention Gentlemen

Attention Gentlemen...that's right, gentlemen. Spa WingHaven wants YOU! We've been working on something special, just for men. We've brainstormed, we even put together a focus group-and after countless hours watching baseball and spending time in the basement playing pool and shooting darts, we think we've finally figured it out: you want somewhere to have your haircut, relax, and possibly have a cold...ahem, beverage, all in one place. A place where when you walk in the door, we know what you're drinking (and have it waiting for you, on ice), if you wear it high and tight or finger-length,  and whether you prefer your wash before or after your cut. You want a place with appointments available morning, noon, and night. Spa WingHaven is not your generic, strip mall, men's barber shop. When you come into Spa WingHaven for a haircut, your experience will be unique, unlike any experience you will have anywhere else. Our men's haircut includes a consultation, Aveda oil scalp massage, hot towel, wash, cut and style-all starting at just $25! We are even able to set up standing appointments for you, guaranteeing you get the stylist, time, and day YOU want; we work off YOUR schedule. Give us a try next time you notice it's time for a trim, I have a feeling you won't regret it.

Mid-Day Getaway

On a rainy day like today, our steam room and hot stone massage calls my name…I think my boss would notice if I snuck off, though. I’m always envious of those clients who are able to come in their lunch breaks. How great is a nice little “getaway” in the middle of the day?! It boosts morale and it’s like re-starting your day, hopefully more rejuvenated than when you woke up. I recently read an article about little things you can do for yourself during the workday to help you get through the day without feeling stressed and drained, and visiting the salon or spa was on the list. Whether you have time for a 30-60 minute massage, a manicure, or a blow-out, treating yourself on your lunch break is definitely something you should try. Maybe make it a Friday tradition to treat yourself for making it through the work week.

Lipotropic Injections!

Feeling tired? Spa WingHaven has the cure!

Okay…not really. You knew that was too good to be true, didn’t you? However, Spa WingHaven is now offering Lipotropic injections in our medical department. I know you’re interested in what “Lipotropic” is, I know I was. After all, anything with ‘tropic’ in the name appeals to the senses. Lipotropic injections are loaded with vitamins and nutrients that can help aid in boosting your energy and metabolism. It’s what our nurse calls a “vitamin cocktail” that enhances the liver function and increases the metabolism of fat - Metabolism of fat? WHAT? You mean this injection will get rid of my fat?! – wouldn’t that be nice? The Lipotropic injection ENHANCES the metabolism of fat. Meaning, with a healthy diet and exercise, it will reward you for your effort by helping you metabolize fat, faster than you normally would. Furthermore, with the extra energy the Lipotropic gives you, who knows, you might just find yourself working out even longer!

The Summer Makeup Dilemma

Summer is here…time at the pool, baseball games, backyard barbeques, and the dreaded St. Louis heat and humidity. If you’re anything like me, with the heat and humidity comes the “shiny face.” I feel like I’m constantly pulling out my compact to check my T-zone to make sure it doesn’t look like someone just doused it with baby oil. It’s a chain reaction then, because as well all know, the more you pull out your compact, the more likely you are to have the “caked-on” look.

This summer, for the first time since I started wearing makeup, I will be breaking the chain. No, I haven’t decided to give up all together and go without makeup for the summer. I started using Glominerals makeup. Now I know you’re thinking “oh here we go, just another sales pitch”, but I’m not trying to sell it to you-I’m not even a makeup artist or esthetician. I’m simply sharing-what I think is a miracle product-with you.

I’ve tried other mineral makeup in the past, with no avail. I’ve been a department store makeup consumer since I was thirteen years old, but this past January, I started breaking out. I had recently started a rigorous workout routine, one that included hot yoga (a type of yoga in which you sweat constantly for over an hour). However, I was washing my face before and after my workouts, along with in the morning and before I went to bed. My esthetician suggested I start moisturizing more, since I was washing my face more, but even that didn’t do the trick. I even stopped using my Clarisonic (GASP!) for two weeks to see if that was causing my breakouts (it of course wasn’t). It took several months of experimenting before my esthetician convinced me it might be my makeup. I couldn’t imagine why, I had been using the same brand for over seven years, but I then realized upon changing my workout routine, I may have changed the kind of reaction my skin had to the foundation.

After a little research, I learned it was possible my makeup wasn’t coming all the way off before hot yoga, causing my foundation to absorb deeper into my pores. I wasn’t about to stop my yoga or stop wearing foundation. My esthetician suggested Glominerals, if it absorbed deeper into my pores, it would be okay since it was mineral-based. I was skeptical considering I had a bad experience with mineral makeup in the past and I preferred a liquid foundation. SURPRISE! Glominerals has a liquid foundation! I was still a little skeptical, but I decided to let her match my skin and go from there. She primed my skin with the Gloprimer, applied the foundation and finished with a little blush and bronzer. I was in love! It looked so natural and I didn’t feel like I was wearing makeup. In the past, my foundation felt slightly heavy, especially in hot weather, Glominerals didn’t. I have since received so many compliments on my skin. Just yesterday I came into work and my boss asked if I had a facial the day before because my skin looked so good and glowing, I told her I just switched to Glominerals.

If you dread the “shiny face” as much as I do, I highly recommend you give Glominerals a try…you might just be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
