Rejuvenate! 2013

Lori Bisser, Sydney Blackburn Stephenson and Barb Clouse

Words can not completely describe what a wonderful time was had at Rejuvenate! 2013. No, you would have to been here and seen the looks on the faces of my guests.

In fact, the best look came from my aunt's sister. When she completed her massage, she came into the kitchen where some of us were and the look on her face said it all. She was extremely relaxed. 

So, let's start from the beginning...... Rejuvenate! was originally called  Spa Day. A group of us would get together and go to one of the local spas for treatments.

Having a stressful year (new work), I decided that I really needed something a little more. That just started me thinking that I needed to rejuvenate. I knew that a few of my other family members and friends needed the same. 

My dear friend, Sydney, connected me with a Zumba instructor, Barb Clouse,  who connected me to a  yoga instructor, Lori Bisser of Sanctuary Yoga. My sister, Nicki, connected me with a massage therapist, Jennifer Garcia with Desert Sky Therapy. Everyone was so happy to assist and to make this event a success. I can not thank them enough!

We also had Stella and Dot stylist, Melissa K. Jones on hand with a trunk show. The guests were able to browse and purchase at their leisure. Shameless plug - my party is still open if you need some goodies - here.

I served this wonderful Strawberry Mint infused water which was extremely refreshing and a HUGE hit with the ladies. I should have made more! We had fruit salad, Low Fat Buffalo Chicken Salad, Strawberry Almond Baby Spinach Salad and meatless patties (more on those in another post). Oh, and did I mention that we had Pinkberry frozen yogurt. Well, we did! It was awesome.  It came already packed in this adorable containers. The toppings were in a tray and guests could select what they wanted. I must have eaten 10 of those things yesterday!

Pinkberry Toppings - YUM

The yoga and Zumba sessions were a way for the ladies to try them out if they hadn't already. They loved it. I was super excited about the fact that many of them had yoga or exercise mats. My friends work out! I can not say enough good things about Barb and Lori. They were just the most energetic ladies I have met in a while. They are both passionate about what they do and so willing to share with others. They very quickly became part of the group!

I wasn't able to do a massage because I wanted to enjoy my guests. The great thing about Jennifer Garcia is that she is coming back to my house and I will have a massage this week! How awesome is that! What I love the most about having an in-home massage is that I can go and truly relax once she finishes. And by relax, I mean NAP!

Everyone was able to truly rejuvenate on this day. I was truly blessed  to have been able to share this day with these extraordinary women. Being around positive people is such a blessing!
