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! 

Rejuvenate! 2013

Every year, I have a Spa Day with my girlfriends. We have been doing this for almost 10 years now.
Typically, we go to a local spa and then have lunch.

This year, I have decided to change it up a bit:

1.  It's going to happen at my home
2. It's going to focus around Health, Fitness and Relaxation
3. Changed the name to Rejuvenate! 2013

I'll have two rooms set aside for the spa rooms. We have an awesome massage therapist coming to do the massages. 

We have a yoga instructor and a Zumba instructor coming for 4 mini sessions! I am so excited to share these classes with my attendees. Some of whom have never tried either and some who are pros! 

We'll have my favorite frozen yogurt, Pinkberry catered - in addition to some awesome smoothies, salads and more healthy foods for the ladies to try. 

The swag bags are super cute (from lulu lemon) and will be filled with some great little goodies!

I was just selected to host a House Party Morning Star Farms party! The great news is that I can do the party on the same day as our Spa Day (now known as Rejuvenate! 2013). As a hostess, I will receive coupons to buy products to serve, coupons for my guests and guess what? They are also supplying my guests with a swag bag! Two swag bags at a party - I can't wait to share.

The craziness is that the following week, I am hosting my sisters baby shower at our home! Was I crazy to plan so close together? Nope! I LOVE THIS STUFF..........................

I'll be posting about both after they happen.

What do you do to rejuvenate? I would love to hear......

Almost every year,  I schedule a Spa Day for the ladies. I've done it a couple of times at our last home, never at our new home and mostly at various spas in the city.

This year, I have added a bit more to the mix. I am including healthy eating items - including salads, smoothies, Pinkberry frozen yogurt and more.

We'll have Zumba and yoga sample sessions. Enough for the ladies to get a small workout.

Of course, we'll have our spa treatments which will be set up in my guest rooms. Who doesn't love a great spa treatment?

Our local lululemon athletica has donated their super awesome bags which I will fill with spa/fitness goodies for the attendees. I love their shopping bags!

One really cool part is that teen girls are invited this year. Many of my friends have daughters and I think this will be a great bonding time for them.

I'll do a post after the event full of photos and all.
