Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and considering how awesome moms are it is no surprise we have already received a number of calls for Mother’s Day Spa Events. Spa events are a sure fire winner with moms. They love getting Primped! One event from last year in particular that stands out was a church that wanted to do something special for the moms in they congregation. We set up numerous stations for manicures, chair massages, hand massages, mini-facials, eyebrow shaping, make overs, and more! The mothers came out in droves to be pampered by our fabulous service providers. It was a really busy day but the energy and spirit was amazing and everyone really had a blast. So if you have some moms who you are looking to honor and thank this year, i can guarantee you they will love getting Primped.
BRAND ACTIVATION MOBILE MANICURE EVENTS
We recently partnered with Sally Hansen, a leading (and awesome!) nail care brand, to help them launch a new press on nail to the public. Our manicurists boarded a custom mobile spa truck and made stops around New York City introducing people to this new Sally Hansen product. It was a lot of fun! People loved getting on the bus, loved getting a complimentary service and really loved Sally Hansen’s new press on nail—which is quick to apply and looks fabulous on. There are over 20 new nail designs to select from and within minutes you can have a new set of nails.
Product demonstrations are one of the events that make me most proud. These are important moments for a brand and getting a new product out there in the right way is critical. It means a lot that a brand entrusts us to help them do it. And we really play an important role from providing the service, to creating a positive experience, to educating consumers on the product. Our ability to do that is all because of our amazing team that is experienced and talented, and also really nice. So all in all, it was great event with Sally Hansen, and we were honored as always to be part of it.
AFFORDABLE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS IDEAS
Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.
Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.
We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.
Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.
There is always something for everyone! Everyone can be pampered with different services, including Chair Massages, Mini-Facials, Manicures, Pedicures as well as Hair Styling and Make-Up demonstrations. Even a 5-minute hand massage works wonders.
Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.
NORTHWELL HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION SPA EVENT
Recently, we had an amazing opportunity to work alongside Northwell Hospital in showing their gratitude to thousands of their staff. We activated pop-ups across their network with on-site spa booths where everyone could enjoy services like manicures, haircuts and chair massages. Over three weeks, we traveled to 26 hospitals in 26 cities to primp thousands of hospital staff, and had the absolute honor to see thousands of smiles. It was truly special to be a part Northwell’s spectacular efforts to do something extraordinary for their staff who have been through so much.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MANPERING
We all had our fair share of myths and tales and one of them, we are all very well familiar with: women are the only one who loves to get pampered.
Why don't we step back into reality and discuss various reasons why men will indulge in some pampering as well?
After the hard work and the overtime, men crave for some relaxation time just as much as us women do.
Some men prefer to sit back and watch a football game or maybe some hardcore time in the gym but there are some who considers "me-time" to be a knot-free day through intensive massage to banish some aches and pains.
Men will enjoy a relaxing treatment even if it is something swift.
Simple methods such as releasing pressure through foot massages can be such a big help and a mood booster for our men and a spa treatment can definitely help them de-stress and refresh for the upcoming work week. Another quick and well-known treatment that they love is the chair massage. Chair massage can help reduce stress and muscle tension as well as rejuvenate the mind and body in just under 15 minutes!
For those who desire more of a luxurious treatment such as a Swedish massage, this is believed to help reduce depression and anxiety, increase blood circulation, and relieve pain. In addition, this type of activity can easily be turned into a QT (quality time) with their significant other!
WINTER SKIN CARE: LOVE THY FACE
“Love your face” is what my sisters and I would say to each other when buying skincare products, especially in the cold, dry, winter months. The cold-dry air takes away a thin layer of oil that traps moisture in the skin. So, here are some simple tips we put together to keep your skin healthy and happy during the frosty months.
1. Moisturize, moisturize…. and then MOISTURIZE. Up your daily routine for all over moisturizing.
2. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Without proper H20, skin turns dry, tight, and flakey, making it less resident and more prone to wrinkling. It is recommended that you consume 8 glasses of water a day. Remember, your skin is the largest organ of the human body.
3. Take lukewarm showers/baths and reduce your soaking time. Hot showers and baths will strip your skin’s moisture.
4. Use gentle skin cleansers and avoid harsh scrubs. Moisturizing post bath while the skin is still damp will maximize absorption into your skin.
5. Avoid harsh face peels, scrubs, masks, and astringents that are alcohol based. Gentler skin products do less damage and won’t dry out your skin the way harsh products do.
6. Remember your sun block! During cold months, people are more prone to windburn. Windburn is, ironically caused by the SUN. Apply sun block daily; this should be part of your skin care routine year-round.
7. Dress appropriately for the winter with thick scarves and hats. Wear comfortable, loose fitting garments made of breathable cotton fabric. Avoid harsh wools or polyesters directly on your skin that can cause chaffing of the skin.
8. Mind your hands. The skin on your hands is thinner than other parts of the body and has less oil glands, making your hands more susceptible to winter drying. So, not only should you wear gloves, but you should have hand lotion with you at all times.
9. Remember to exercise. Exercise has a lot of benefits including reducing stress, which causes eczema flare-ups. Exercise is not only good for stress relief, but is obviously good for the body. Working out comes in various forms including yoga, ice skating, or running. Everyone’s routine is different; it is important to keep strong and have fun at the same time.
10. Get spa treatments. Seriously—this may be a shameless plug but it is important to PRIMP! Getting a manicure, massage, or facial keeps the body vibrant and promotes wellness all year round, especially when we are trying to fight the winter blues.
