Go ahead...drink it in!

Life Aquatic...



Not only does water cover about 70% of the earth, it is also natures best hydrater. That is why health care professionals recommend drinking 8 glasses of water per day, to maintain complete body hydration and health. In addition to being soothing and refreshing, water can create a more harmonious environment, encourage prosperity, strengthen bonds and relationships, and provide a number of other positive benefits.



Here are my favorite water-drenched products that improve your skin, hair, body and mind!

Vichy Shower

I am in love with this procedure! It feels amazing and the experience is similar to standing under a gentle warm waterfall. I prefer this as an additive to exfoliating salt scrubs or mud wraps at resort spas. It Originated in Vichy, France, and is one of the most popular forms of hydrotherapy. Vichy means "health and vitality through water." During this horizontal "rain bath", you relax on a shallow cushioned table while a 5-7-headed shower bar rains low and high-pressured water streams to massage away tension in targeted areas of the body. The massage of a Vichy shower can also stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic flows, which helps detoxify and cleanse the body.
