Choose Enzymes over Harsh Chemicals for Your Spa

Do you have spa or whirlpool at home that you are treating with toxins and chemicals? You need to constantly treat the water so it is kept free of dangerous contaminants. If you don?t you could be harboring a breeding ground for things that can make you and your family very sick. Until recently, using harsh chemicals was the only way to do this. Most of the chemicals used in this treatment are toxic and when used in conjunction with higher water temperatures from your bath, they can react even more dangerously to your skin. The higher temperatures open the pores of the skin so you are even more vulnerable to the dangers.
The chemicals are absorbed directly into the blood when you breathe the vapors of these chemicals. Some of the conditions that can arise from the use of these harsh chemicals are red eyes, flaky skin and rashes. Chemicals are corrosive to your pipes and plumbing as well as to your body. This means more maintenance and money out the door. You will always check the PH, and when things are out of balance, what do you do? Add more chemicals of course. It is truly a vicious cycle. When you get this much added to the water, it is time to drain things totally and start over. This chemically treated water is then going into the water system and polluting the environment. This is a potentially serious situation, but there are healthier, safer things you can do to enjoy your whirlpool bath and not expose yourself to these dangerous chemicals.
A healthy answer for this problem is the use of enzymes to treat the water. This is cutting edge technology that has been used to battle the war against diseases. Enzymes can be deadly to some forms of bacteria and germs, yet safe to be around for you and your family. Our bodies work in the same way. We produce enzymes that protect us from viruses and germs and yet we are healthy around them. Specially developed enzymes are powerful and unique in cleaning the water. They are designed to keep your spa healthy and clean. They attract the contaminants and then dissolve them so they will effectively disappear and you don?t have to use toxic chemicals.
Your whirlpool will remain fresh, odorless, clean, and safe for you and your family. Your water will be soft and harmful minerals won?t build up along the tub. You will eliminate the bath tub ring. Some of the direct benefits of using these enzymes are your water will be clean for up to three months of each application, your skin will feel silky and smooth, no need to shower after you get out of the tub to remove the chemicals, you don?t need to use test kits or chemicals to balance the water, no more chlorine or bromine fumes, and you will never again have burning eyes, itchy or flaking skin rashes. Doesn?t it make sense to use natural things whenever we can instead of chemicals? The enzymes are safe, effective and won?t have living things. It?s common sense thinking for the health of your family. Now you can use your spa and really relax without any cares at all.

Hot Tub Heaven

What will your next home improvement project be? Will it be an inground pool or how about a new deck? Why not consider a hot tub for the new deck? A hot tub is great for relaxing year round. There are lots of things to consider when shopping for your first hot tub. The first thing to look at is the shell. Traditional hot tubs were made of wood but most now are acrylic or vinyl. You can find smooth or glassy surfaces, or some that resemble a stone finish. If you have a specific outdoor d?r in mind it won?t be hard for you to find a hot tub that matches beautifully. What size do you want? Models traditionally seat five to six adults, but you can find some that are just for two or as many as ten. You?d definitely be ready for a party with that size of hot tub. If party time is important, you might want the seating to be more of a bench style than a bucket. You?ll be able to accommodate more people that way. The skirt or cabinet is also a big part of the picture. This encloses all of the ugly plumbing and equipment. Look for a simulated wood grain so you have little maintenance and they will look good for years. Order your hot tub with matching cabinet so it is a nice blended look.
The biggest reason you get a hot tub in the first place comes from the jets. That bubbling foamy water is so relaxing after a tough day. Hydrotherapy is a great way to rejuvenate the old bones of the baby boomer too. Today the jets are made for therapy and relaxation together. Know how you want to use the tub and that will tell you where you want the jets placed. If you don?t want the action at the lower back you want to know that up front before you buy. There are special jets such as neck jets, stationary jets, cluster jets, rotating jets and hand held jets. You can get a combination of the above and have a water experience like none other. Work closely with the dealer to get the proper size of pump. Bigger is not better. Make sure it is sized correctly for the size of hot tub and it won?t cause strain on your plumbing. One of the most important pieces of equipment is the heater. Sitting in cold water isn?t fun. If you have the water properly balanced to the correct ph, it will be less corrosive to the parts and pump. You also need filters to screen out particles and keep the water crystal clear. Here again, size is important that the filters are sized for the size of tub you own. Ask the dealer if you are unsure what to buy. Testing the water need to be done on a regular basis to ensure a clean bacteria free hot tub.
I can feel really lazy when lying in the hot tub so I want a remote control for my systems. You can set up computer systems that monitor the tub from the living room, or turn them on and off from there. You can even install programs that will allow you to turn on the hot tub from a cell phone. You could be miles away and a phone call starts the water warming. Your utility bill will reflect how much you use the tub and how hot you keep the water and what size you own. If your hot tub is well insulated, you will save as much money as you can on utilities. Use a hot tub cover with a tight seal to keep out debris and also for insulation. Don?t let your imagination stop when you are buying a hot tub. What about purchasing some of the many options such as LED underwater lights that change colors? Talk about a mood enhancer! Build in CD/stereo speakers that are waterproof. Add cup holders, aromatherapy jets, fiber optic landscape lighting, and a water fall or mister and you will never get rid of the neighbors. Did I forget to mention the built in television screen? Super Bowl here we come! You might decide you want the hot tub to be enclosed in a gazebo. They offer a lot of privacy which is what you might want because of nosy neighbors. A hot tub is a big investment and you want to make sure your family will enjoy it. If you do a test run at the dealers, this will enable you to answer some of those questions in your mind. Do you feel comfortable sitting in a particular style of tub? Does a tub for five feel too small to you? You want to be able to enjoy the tub and not wish you had installed something different. Let your imagination run wild, but also keep in mind your monthly bills to maintain the tub when you are looking at the budget.

Spas - At Disney Land?

2005-06-01T21:18:00.000-07:00

Is it possible for sophisticated travelers to really enjoy themselves in the land of Mickey Mouse? Absolutely! Walt Disney World has undergone a transformation much like that of Las Vegas, with an abundance of fantastic themed resorts and sumptuous dining choices.
Maybe your image of Disney is of lackluster, motel-style accommodations. Not so! All deluxe property choices are unique and offer that special Disney touch. You?ll find them to be adorned with impressive lobbies, painstakingly landscaped grounds, first-rate restaurants, elaborately themed pools, and gracious accommodations. All offer top-notch recreational facilities and services. In fact, each resort is so marvelous it can be difficult to choose which fantasy you wish to indulge.
Let me tell you about my favorites:
? Disney?s flagship resort, The Grand Floridian, with its red-gabled roofs and Victorian elegance, draws inspiration from the grand Florida seaside ?palace hotels? of 19th-century America?s Gilded Age. Just a short monorail ride to the Magic Kingdom, it spreads along the shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon with spectacular views of Cinderella?s Castle and the Wishes fireworks display. Aquatic enticements include a crescent white sand beach dotted with brightly striped, canopied lounge chairs, a large sophisticated pool in the central courtyard, a new beachside Florida springs-style pool, and a classy marina sporting a wide assortment of watercraft. A full service health club and spa, tennis courts, five restaurants, two lounges, and sophisticated shopping round out the list of exceptional offerings.
? A navy blue blazer should be in order for a stay at Disney?s Yacht Club where guests find the sophisticated ambience of a posh Eastern seaboard hotel of the 1880s. Fronting Crescent Lake and a sliver of beach that stretches over to the adjoining Beach Club Resort, it?s just a short stroll to Epcot?s International Gateway entrance and only a boat ride away to Disney-MGM Studios. Best of all is the Yacht Club?s 3-acre mini-water park complex, Stormalong Bay, offering sandy bottom pools, a giant ?shipwreck? waterslide, a tidal whirlpool, bubbling hot tubs, a kiddie pool with its own slide next to the beach, and enough length to float lazily in inner tubes to your heart?s content.
? The Animal Kingdom Lodge is a stunning celebration of African wildlife, culture, cuisine, and art. Its authentic architecture and 33 acres of grasslands filled with hundreds of roaming, exotic animals is simply a stroke of genius. The six-story, horseshoe-shaped structure is surrounded by a landscape of golden boulders, tall bamboo, yellow flame trees, pampas grass, copperpod trees, and date palms. In it?s imposing, 5-story, thatched roof lobby are massive chandeliers formed by resplendent Masai shields, a large mud fireplace, and handsome safari-chic seating. From common lookouts as well as from 90% of the guestrooms are wonderful views of playful zebra, lanky giraffe, sprite gazelle, huge ankole cattle, herds of wildebeest, flocks of exotic birds, and more, with over 200 animals in all.
? Last but not least is The Wilderness Lodge, Disney?s dramatic depiction of an early 1900s national park resort. I challenge you to keep your jaw from dropping open on your first encounter with its awesome eight-story lobby of ponderosa pine logs, a massive 82-foot tall fireplace, and authentic 55-foot Pacific Northwest totem poles. Outside is a breathtaking scene of sparkling waterfalls, rushing creeks, and towering pines. The sound of crickets is heard beneath the bridges and along the meandering pathways lined with natural grasses, junipers, and wildflowers. And on the shores of Bay Lake is Wilderness Lodge?s very own erupting geyser surrounded by a steaming expanse of geothermal activity.
What about Disney?s dining choices? Once just a hot dog and hamburger haven, Disney?s reputation for dreadful theme park food is now a thing of the past. Think Pan Roasted Striped Bass with Aromatic Rock Shrimp Lemongrass Risotto, 6-Hour Braised Veal Shank with Orzo Pasta and Soy Glaze, or Cornbread Stuffed Quail with Foie Gras and Sauce Maltaise. Just a mere sampling of the incredible meals to be found at many of the over 270 dining spots on Disney property. In a radical culinary transformation Disney hired top-notch chefs to create exciting menus for some of the highest rated restaurants in the country and first-rate sommeliers to fashion outstanding wine lists.
Here are some of Disney?s best restaurants:
? The California Grill on the 15th floor of Disney?s Contemporary Resort offers an unbeatable panorama of the Magic Kingdom and the Seven Seas Lagoon along with picture-perfect views of the Wishes fireworks. From pristinely fresh sushi to exceptional New American Cuisine to sensational desserts and an outstanding California wine list, this place has it all. Don?t be discouraged if all the coveted window seats are taken; an adjoining observation platform offers a bird?s-eye view of the fireworks extravaganza.
? For top-notch and innovative seafood specialties, head to the Flying Fish at Disney?s Boardwalk where entrees such as Potato Wrapped Florida Red Snapper with a Creamy Leek Fondue are the norm. Contemporary and trendy, yet whimsical, this restaurant will absolutely delight the senses with its festive room of flying fish mobiles, sea blue sparkling mosaic floors, and golden fish scale pillars. Named a 2003 Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winner, it boasts an excellent international list. Don?t forget to save room for the unforgettable desserts, in particular the banana napoleon with warm caramel sauce.
? Fine dining in a sophisticated setting combined with virtually flawless service sets Victoria and Albert?s in Disney?s Grand Floridian Resort apart. Here in this AAA Five-Diamond awarded restaurant you?re served a sumptuous seven-course meal on white linen set with Royal Doulton china and sparkling crystal. Those seeking a special evening should book the newly-remodeled, 6-person chef?s table found in a candle-lit alcove in the kitchen, a spot perfect for an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at Disney?s top chef in action.
? Epcot?s Bistro de Paris is a charming Belle ?oque dining room with an air of exclusivity. Filled with gilded mirrors and crimson banquettes, its billowy white drapes frame windows that overlook the World Showcase Lagoon. Servers with delicious French accents roll out sensational dishes prepared with only the freshest ingredients. After dinner enjoy a dessert of crepes prepared and flamed tableside while lingering over cordials and coffee in anticipation of the Illuminations spectacle.
? Disney?s Animal Kingdom Lodge?s premier dining room is the seductive Jiko where floor to ceiling windows look out on a boulder-strewn creek. Twin clay ovens draw the eye to the open kitchen where an eclectic blend of creations prepared with African flair are turned out in exotic presentations. Accompany your meal with a selection from the all South African wine list, the largest in North America. And don?t leave without ordering the incredible dark chocolate filled beggar's purses served with a honey dipping sauce, one of Disney?s best desserts.
So, for those who think that Walt Disney World is just for kids, think again! It?s a world of fantastic resorts and innovative dining just waiting to be explored. You may never even make it to the parks.

Spas - Relax!

Hot Tubs without a shadow of a doubt guarantee..

A staple of healthy outdoor living, hot tubs equals to water therapy that pound our bodies with jaw dropping and heart stopping relaxation. Dating back to Roman times, baths served as a medical remedy in treating many maladies. Heated water provided a soothing oasis for the ancients. Whirlpools tubs, Jacuzzi tubs, portable hottubs, and spas provide innumerable benefits that will be further discussed.
A staple of healthy outdoor living, hot tubs provide soothing backyard enjoyment.
Whirlpools and hot tubs have been scientifically proven to induce a more calming and restful sleep. Joints and bones are pounded with the water heat to relieve tension and stress throughout the body and increase circulation to all parts. Hot tubs reduce blood pressure as well and eliminate useless toxins from the body through the release of sweat. Enzymes and cell production are quickly activated from the warm heat helping maintain homeostasis (holistic balance in the human body.) Overall, spas and whirlpools pump the body with new life and serve as fuel for the soul ? emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Although it hasn?t been scientifically proven that playing with waterproof cards in spas helps overall health, do it anyway! Spa accessories such as digital spa lighting and floating waterproof radios might not lessen blood pressure, but they sure lessen boredom! If you want to keep reaping the countless benefits of lounging in hot tubs and spas, keep all of your spa parts (i.e. spa rails) in working order and be sure to purchase durable hot tub covers with tie-down straps to protect against the elements. Relaxing in the outdoors having soothing, massaging, and caressing hot water lifting your spirits is hot tub heaven. Invest in a hot tub with accommodating spa parts and spa accessories if you haven?t already done so, and hear your heart beat purr.
To conclude, learning the ways of your hot tubs will make your outdoor living experience enjoyable! If you want additional information about hot tubs, Jacuzzi's, whirlpools or any other outdoor living accessory, please go to my hot tub page: http://a1-bbq-grills.com/hot-tubs.htm or try my home page: http://a1-bbq-grills.com

Heat Up the Tub From 20,000 Feet

Homeowners are getting high-tech when it comes to controlling the appliances in their homes, but they insist the control systems are reliable, convenient and easily understood. Technology isn?t fun to use if you feel like you need a master?s degree in engineering to make things work. This is true when it comes to controlling the thermostat on your spa, hot tub or swimming pool. Picture yourself arriving home from a long day at work or getting off the airplane from a grueling business trip. You open the door to the patio and the Jacuzzi is steaming with soft music playing so everything is ready for a relaxing soak; all you have to do is stir the martini. This isn?t possible if you only have a touch screen control in the living room. You must wait until you actually arrive home for this pampering luxury.

It is quite common for spas to be controlled with a hand held remote. You can sit in the hot tub and if it is starting to get dark outside, you can turn on the lights in the house directly from the tub. Many remotes control appliances from 150 feet away with no wires in sight. There is no extra wiring required because all of the signals are sent through existing AC power lines. Now technology is available for you to use a cell phone from anywhere in the world and turn on the hot tub, pool, indoor and outdoor lighting, sprinkler systems, fountains, or any other system that is computer controlled in your home. The systems have an all off button so you will have the confidence that you aren?t leaving home for a business trip with some appliance still running. Many devices can also read your e-mail to you when you are on the road so you never feel out of touch. All of these things can be voice activated and programmed for you. If you own a full size swimming pool, you definitely want to look into controlling the pool cleaner, filters, pool heaters and anything else with an automated computer system. This makes maintenance so much easier when the computer does the work for you.

If you have a vacation cottage, you can make a phone call a few hours before you arrive and the thermostat of your furnace will be set to the temperature you desire. You might also want to install cameras around the property so you can cue up the screen and view what is going on at the lake house while you are in the city. When you need to change a setting, the screens are very user friendly. You don?t have to depend on a computer dude to be on call just so you can control your computer systems. Anyone that wants a high-tech home should check out the systems that are on the market. When you can control the luxuries you have at home with a phone call, you will start feeling like you have a butler at home waiting for your next request.

Many people pass up going on a cruise for their vacation because of the myth that it is expensive. However, cruising has become a fun and economical way to vacation for young and old alike. It could be considered a downright bargain compared to staying at a resort, hotel, or private villa.
Cruising is not bound to any particular age group either. There are fun activities for all ages aboard a ship, catering to small children, their parents, singles, middle-aged groups to elderly grandparents. However, a cruise that is longer than a week or that has destination ports further north will typically have an older crowd.
The first thing people think of when cruising is mentioned is of course food. A person on a cruise is typically assigned a dining room, dinner time and specific table companions to sit....

Not too long ago, it used to be that when a woman brought home her facial scrub, cleanser and toner, she could be sure that the closest her man got to them was reaching over those fancy jars for his can of shaving cream.
Not any more. In recent years, men have been secretly dipping into their wives and girlfriends skin care products and liking the results that they see. So much so that many companies are developing skincare lines just for men.

Spas - Aromatherapy and Arthritis

2005-05-06T19:02:00.000-07:00

by: Mireille Gautschi
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints and is characterized by pain, stiffness, swelling, decreased range of movement and at a more serious stage deformity.
Aromatherapy is a holistic approach to health and wellness by means of aromatic, plant derived scents. It is very much a traditonal method as well as a science that encompasses the intuitive and creative aspects of preparing special purpose blends.
Aromatherapy blends for the treatment of arthritis are usually made from pure essential oils, but also from hydrosols and -- more recently -- phytols. For application to the skin they have to be mixed with vegetable oil, a cream base or a carrier lotion. Essential Oils must always be used diluted when applied to the skin. A dilution of 3% essential oils in 97% base is generally regarded as very effective and safe.

Your first spa massage

2005-05-06T18:55:00.000-07:00

Your First Time
It's your first time at a spa. You're nervous, shy and curious; a little embarrassed to be bare-assed. If this sounds like you, you're a spa virgin. But rest assured, your first time getting a massage will be handled by professionals who quite literally put you into their hands.
Unsure about massage-etiquette, your first step should be to arrive at the spa on-time or somewhat early. As you check-in for your massage you will most likely be issued a robe and directed to a changing area. Undress completely, or if modesty doesn't permit, leave your panties on. As you settle down on the massage table, your therapist will keep your body draped under a sheet.

Therapuetic Massage

2005-05-06T18:28:00.000-07:00

Research on massage therapy, and its benefits, continues to show that it reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases endorphins, and the circulation of blood and lymph fluids. Research has also shown that therapeutic massage relaxes muscles, and improves range of motion (ROI).
While massage does not increase muscle strength, massage can increase muscle tone. Therapeutic massage also helps the body's homostatic functions thereby decreasing the amount of time needed to recover after exercise or injury which is often caused by muscle stiffness (inflexibility). Massage helps in keeping the proper amount of fluid circulating between muscle fibers, and in rehydrating dehydrated fibers.

Ask someone their reason for getting a massage and you're likely to hear "because it feels good". We all know that a massage can relieve stress, help to make sore muscles feel better and even reduce anxiety, but can it help us achieve our fitness goals? Research shows that the massage you get to relieve stress can also have a positive effect on your muscle-building capabilities and fitness level.
1. Massage improves circulation and general nutrition of muscles. This appears to be the most valuable fitness-related benefit. Massage is accompanied or followed by an increase interchange of substances between the blood the tissue cells, which increases tissue metabolism. After a muscle is exercised, vital nutrients must be supplied in order for it to increase in size. Massage maximizes the supply of nutrients and oxygen though increased blood flow, which helps the body rebuild itself.
