This photo is from our 10th annual holiday preview with some great clients and friends... l-r alayne, linda, val, elaine and gina (the famous pedicure goddess)I can't believe that it has been 10 years since we opened the first alayne white spa in Bristol. We have been blessed with a growing business, great clients and the most divine team of women I am fortunate to have in my company, literally and figuratively. I have noticed lots of things in this wacky economy over the last few years, but most has been positive so these are the things I wish to share with you as we leap into 2012 for more adventures, more hopes, and a sense of newness that the blessings of a new year always brings. Read on for my thoughts on aging, life, spa, women and the joys of growth when we are conscious, truthful and coming from a place of clear intention.

As I often say, take what feels great and leave the rest for some other time when it may speak to you. First of all since Beauty is my business, I'll start here. What is beauty anyway?

Is life accelerating as I get older? It sure feels this way. Read on for my thoughts and I hope your holidays are calm and enjoyable. By the way, we now have our super cute holiday t shirts in and we have added umbrellas and really great travel mugs with some sassy quotes from none other than Mae west and Bette Davis. The mugs should be in next week, but the umbrellas and shirts are in. Enjoy life, and have a stunning and magical 2012.

Many times our illustrious team is asked if there is in fact an alayne white! My job over the past few years has changed from being an omnipresent force in the spa (which usually drives my team a little crazy) to being out and about through our little state at events promoting and driving business into my spas. In the midst of all of this outside work, I spent the first part of the year planning my son's Bar Mitzvah. Why am I telling you this? Why is this picture on the homepage of our website? To start with, these are my grandparents in the forefront, my son in the Bruins shirt is in the back so these are his great grandparents and that is me in the back. I thought that October would be a good time to catch you up on what I am thinking, what I have thought and just general brain energy from my non stop mind. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on beauty, life and the never ending world of transitions we seem to be an integral part of.

My friend, RO, hooked me up with a nice salon in Madrid and off i went. What was really funny is that the lady who took care of me didn't speak one work of english and i am weak in fast spanish, so the communication was hilarious. She used hard wax on me which i haven't had used since I wasn in esthetics school in 1987. Hard wax is the kind that gets put on thick and then peeled off rather than the strip wax that we use. She did a great job except that she recycled the leg wax she used in a strainer (no wonder the leg wax was cheap). Fortunately she did throw away the bikini wax strips. I was thinking to myself, american women would never allow this, i know it sounds disgusting, but oddly enough, it didn't really bother me. Please don't worry, we will never do this at alayne white spa, but if you ever are wondering why we need to charge what we do, think of this story and perhaps you will have a new appreciation for the sanitation that goes on behind the scenes at alayne white spa.   News + Promotions, Skin Care Tips, Spa Treatments 2011-08-03T01:58:50+00:00
