LaLicious and Delicious Spa Treatments

When my kids were little, I used to splurge on Burt’s Bees Baby products from the Health Food Store.  Now you can find them all over in stores like Long’s Drugs or Target.  My favorite products were the Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil and a little Apricot solid scent that I don’t think that they carry anymore.

I got a big box of products to review for work and inside the box I found my old favorite, the Baby Bee Apricot oil.  Score!  I love to put it on my legs after shaving. It leaves them smooth and the subtle apricot scent enhances, instead of over-powering my new favorite perfume.

Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil
3oz for $8

Baby Bee is infused with the rich oil of apricot kernels, grape seeds, olives, and avocado. The “kernel” of the apricot is located within the pit of the apricot fruit.  It’s edibile and full of Vitamin A and E.  In addition Baby Bee Apricot Oil contains Lanolin which is good for baby’s skin. Even better, it’s free of Phthalate and Parabens.

I used to use this oil to give my little Sarah massages as a baby. I’m a Certified Massage Therapist and I’ve learned that there’s nothing like a good massage to prepare baby for bed time. If you’d like to give it a try, click here for some easy instructions.

The Fresh Scent of Apricot

The Abaton Halo Infrared Massage Beds may very well be the greatest thing to hit North American spa culture since the hot stone massage (are you sensing a theme here? I do love my heated massages).

The sauna massage bed features a new, one piece design which allows the jade massage rollers in the bed to roll the full length of your body without being seen or requiring any major adjustments before settling in for a massage.

Infrared Massage Bed by Abaton

These jade rollers combine with the heat to perform something called Moxibustion (acupressure with heat), and offers some incredible health benefits, including increased circulation which helps to detoxify muscles and cells, and the benefits of just good massage, which is one of the oldest and most effective forms of healing in the history of medicine. Plus, it reduces stress, provides a break from the work-a-day world and just feels good!

The moxibustion that the jade rollers contribute to can provide specific benefits as well – from relief from muscle pain, assist in the proper running of your metabolism and immune system, and to stimulate a rich flow of oxygen and nutrient supply to your body’s organs.

What is different about the Abaton Halo Infrared Massage Beds is the heating system on the top of the bed which is made from a top grade carbon fiber produces far infrared rays that penetrates up to 2” into the body. Known health benefits of far infrared include not only detoxification and weight loss but also relief from pain, Arthritis, sprains, muscular skeletal ailments, skin conditions, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and a host of other daily stresses linked to health issues.

And again, it just feels good. I tried the bed out at the Wellness Show in Vancouver and didn’t want to leave. It was delightful, and all I could do to stop myself from ordering one on the spot.

I have to admit, the approximate $3,000 price tag was a bit of an impulse buy stopper for me, as well as the fact that I do have a bit of a space crunch, but if I’d had the space (and this doesn’t take up a lot of room – it’s only 29″ wide x 81″ long x 33″ high) and the ability to plunk down the cash right then and there, I would have done it in a heart beat.

There’s nothing special required to run the bed, and in fact, it’s designed to plug into a standard household outlet.

This is a beautiful, beautiful experience, and one I would recommend that you try, the instant you get an opportunity! If they don’t have a dealer or tradeshow happening near you, call and have them ship you a bed today! Seriously, it’s gorgeous, and is hands down, one of the best massages I’ve ever had.
