Air Drop Friday Fun: Self-Care!

“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.”

— Goethe

It’s Friday, and it’s been 8 weeks of SIP for some of us and even more for others. The challenges of our SIP are many, but one of them is that your hair has grown and perhaps you’re contemplating taking scissors to your bangs or sideburns. Or ordering Clairol hair color via Amazon, even though you haven’t colored your hair since high school. Hold back!! There ARE other options: hats, scarves, headbands. Those 70’s headbands were cool, and if we all wear them, maybe they could make a comeback?!? Or consider a Daniel-san option as a unisex headband?

Restrictions are slowly being lifted and when they are, let your stylist, barber, manicurist, massage therapist, etc., know that you appreciate them more than ever!

Inhale and Exhale! Stretch and Be Strong!

Huge Hugs! ~CR

Self-Care at Home!

Delicious Non-Alcoholic Beverages

Delish has released a delightful collection of non-alcoholic drink recipes. We’ve all got a lot of time on our hands, the days are longer, and the weather is warmer, so it’s a great time to unwind and refresh with a nice cold beverage. A beverage which everyone can enjoy!

At-Home Aromatherapy: How To Use Essential Oils at Home

The good folks at Canyon Ranch have compiled an excellent how-to resource for concocting, placing and best practice uses for essential oils in your home. And post-SIP, make sure to check out their Woodside Wellness Retreat to unwind IRL!

Sound Bath

Grace Cathedral’s Sound Bath Series is what we all need to provide a calming and soothing environment as we Shelter-in-Place. You may view at their website or on their YouTube channel. The most recent one was in February 2020 (before SIP). Look for their continuing in-person performances post-SIP!

Spa-Day Post-SIP!

NOTE: All the amazing locations discussed below are temporarily closed for the Shelter-in-Place, but make a note and put them on your list to visit post-SIP!

Pearl Spa | San Francisco

This Korean-style spa is women-only and one of my favorite spas to chill – no phones allowed and whispering only in shared areas. In addition to a range of luxurious services (great scrubs) Pearl also has a jacuzzi, cold plunge tub, sauna, steam room, and a Himalayan salt room, which I like. Reservations available for birthdays, bridal parties and more!

Healing Arts Center and Spa at Cavallo Point | Sausalito

The Healing Arts Center is full-fledged wellness getaway with an array of traditional offerings—think massages, body treatments, water therapies, and facials—as well as such healing services as acupuncture, energy work, meditation, hypnotherapy, and more. Go there for a weekend when it is time to treat yourself!

Claremont Club & Spa | Berkeley

Offers relaxation areas for men and women, as well as

eucalyptus steam rooms, saline whirlpools, deluge

showers and multihead bathing showers. The last time I went, they put rose petals in my tub! They

emphasize natural healing therapies designed

to restore your balance and melt away your stress.

Bonus: almost every area at the hotel and spa has views of the city skyline and beyond, so linger if you can!

LaBelle Day Spas & Salons | Palo Alto

A European spa providing a full menu of unique and pampering treatments, and this is one of my favorites on the Peninsula. There are also special grooming services for men (including a back facial!), as well as an array of standard offerings like nail care, hair removal, massages, wraps, and scrubs. A la carte options make it easy to plan a custom day of pampering with a special friend or group!
