There are some places that have a strong and positive pull for me, and the primary sense they romance is my sense of smell. Ananas Spa is one of those places. When I walk through the door and breathe in the subtle and delicious aromas that blend to embrace me, I can feel my shoulders drop, my brow unfurrow, and a smile spread across my face.

This month we want to offer you a collection of aromatic services that will soothe, calm and restore you. Ananas Spa's SIGNATURE AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE is one in which the hands of your talented therapist stroke away the body's tension with smooth, warm river stones. The added benefit of essential oils gives you an even more complete sensory experience. We have four essential oils on this month's Menu:

Talk with your massage therapist about the one that is perfect for you on the day you visit us and let us share our wellbeing.

You can develop this aromatic pleasure by having your manicure, pedicure and facial enhanced with essential oils, too. And don't forget that our wonderful Yonka facials from Paris are redolent with herbal and floral notes and benefits.

Cocoon is not a word that one hears that often but at our spa in January it is one of our favorite words. Especially after the blast from the North we had ten days ago!

We have put together some specials this month that warm you, wrap you, hydrate you and smooth you and which we think you will really enjoy.

We have a luxurious facial for you called Yonka Eclat Cocoon Hydrating and Relaxing Facial which not only leaves your skin looking radiant but has two fruity masks, not just one, and two methods of treatment: hot stone massage of the face, neck, and also skilled hands performing facial rituals to relax and restore you.

I don't know about you, but in this weather my thumbs and forefinger cuticles get so dry they start to crack. To help those feet and especially your hands in this chapping, drying weather we have paraffin treatments, which warm and smooth your needy skin. The treatment is performed with gloves slipped on to your hands and feet, which are filled with an amazingly, warm, deeply hydrating clay. It feels like heaven, your hands feel smooth and soft and combined with the facial is almost as good as it gets.

But we have one more treatment for you that warms your whole body and softens and conditions your skin. Our Lush Hydrating Body Wrap is a full body treatment. To begin you lie on a bed with a heated blanket under your back. Then follows a massage with an emollient moisturizing cream to help smooth and rebalance your skin. By this time you may be asleep, but you will be wrapped in a cocoon while the cream does its work and you slowly develop a warm glow. Your beauty expert will care for your feet, perhaps with a paraffin treatment if you like, or with a gentle massage and you will finally rouse yourself feeling as relaxed as you can ever remember.

At Ananas Spa we know how to handle Winter, and being pampered and cocooned in wonderful creams and clays with soothing, restoring ministrations is one way you will want to treat yourself through the cold season outside. There is no better place to spend the chilly months than at Ananas Spa.

Instead of a seminar in December we would like to offer you these 10 tips as a way to help you get through the Holiday season.

We'll see you in January for a damage repair seminar: Post-Holiday Weight Loss!

1. Plan ahead - never go to a party hungry! There is nothing worse than arriving at a restaurant so hungry that all vestiges of self-control are a distant memory. Before you go to a holiday party, eat a small but filling meal such as a serving of your favorite fruit, small vegetable salad, smoothie or vegetable soup along with plenty of water. When you arrive at the party, you won't be starving and can take your time making plans for what you will eat.

2. Fight holiday food with healthy choices! - check the restaurant menu ahead of time in the calm and quiet of your home or office. While you are clearheaded and not famished, you can make better menu selections. Seize the opportunity all restaurants offer to eat foods beautifully prepared, that will make you feel and look fantastic. Don't fling yourself into the arms of fried calamari and pasta, pick one or even two other options: salad starter, soup (broth, not cream-based) or a double portion of a grilled veggie entree.

3. Avoid dressings - did you know that a double order of dressing can turn a healthy salad in to a dangerous oil spill? Avoid dressings made from cream, half-and-half or meat drippings. For salads, use fruit-based or vegetable-based dressings. Some lite and low fat dressings can have as much as 400 or more calories per serving. So pay attention to the dressings, limit the amount you use, and always look for the light dressings. If you are at the restaurant and no light dressing is available, choose olive oil and vinegar and add them yourself - and go lightly on the oil.

4. Small plate please! - they think you want it! Large portion sizes in restaurants have been ballooning for the past few decades; this means that even a healthy meal can contain far too many calories. Be wise when choosing appetizers - a small portion of some appetizers may keep you from overeating at dinner. Pick up a small plate, and stick with vegetables. Restrict your intake of butter crackers, bread, chips, cheese and meats.

5. How about the dessert? - is your fruit intake, an excellent source of fiber, lower then it should be? A bowl of fresh berries is a delicious and healthy dessert. Berries not in season or unavailable? Any fresh fruit is an excellent, healthy ending to your meal.

6. Watch the drinks - limit cocktails to two, with sparkling water and lime (which looks like a cocktail) enjoyed between drinks. Alcohol is high in nutritionally empty calories and it can stimulate your appetite and cloud your judgment on how much food you're consuming.

7. Say no politely - many times you feel forced to eat foods because people keep putting them in front of you. Learn to say no politely, such as "No, thank you. I've had enough. Everything was delicious" or "I couldn't eat another bite. Everything tasted wonderful". You'll find saying "no" isn't so hard to do after all.

8. Focus on fun, family and friends - no lingering around the buffet table, bar, appetizer or dessert areas! Socialize with your friends away from the food and drinks. Don't let food have the spotlight. Scale back your social calendar to allow some down time with family to enjoy the spirit of the season.

9. Get moving - take the focus off food by getting family and friends involved in some fun activities during holiday season. Go outside for a walk, sledding, ice skating, or building snowmen. Indoors, rent an instructional dance video followed by a dance-off. Dancing goes hand in hand with the holidays so why not make dancing after eating a

10. Take your time - put the breaks on speed eating! If you are the first one to finish your meal, you are probably eating more then everyone else. If your plate is empty quickly, you'll be more tempted to reach for the bread basket or order dessert.

Let me tell you more about our new BODY LUSH HYDRATING WRAP. I just had it last week and my skin felt like a baby's for days. I had it in conjunction with a cleansing facial and they almost had to roll me off the table I was so relaxed.

I started out face down and naked. Don't worry, if you are modest we provide disposable panties. The aesthetician began the treatment by rubbing me down with exfoliating mittens that felt exhilarating and gave me a warm glow. Then a hot towel compress was gently pressed down the length of my back. I flipped over and this was repeated. Next the Body Lush Hydrating Wrap was applied all over in long smooth strokes and I was wrapped up like a gift package in a sheet, and then snuggled into a downy duvet which was tucked under my feet. So while I was cocooned like this for 20 to 30 minutes the facial was begun, and I was in heaven. This product has the most intriguing aroma: part vanilla, part fruit - I really felt delicious!

Upon being unwrapped the masque was smoothed into my skin with a full body light massage. I was helped up into a sitting position (at this point I was like a wet noodle and needed the assistance!) and my back was gently rubbed down with a warm dry towel. I have to say, my skin was radiant. I took a few minutes to gather my wits and left knowing my skin had been treated to a superb hydrating process.

I had the Body Lush Hydrating Wrap with a facial as an add-on, but it can be enjoyed on its own as an escape from the doldrums with gorgeous results.

See you at Ananas; we'll get you ready for Spring!

L'EVASION SENSORIELLE - SENSORY ESCAPE

When a facial has a name like this you HAVE to wonder -what on earth is it? Well, I just had it and it is the most relaxing facial I have ever experienced. And on top of that, it hydrates and lifts!

It is a YONKA Paris facial for

Women who want an original and sensorial facial,

For women with dull, dreary complexions that need reviving before an event,

For stressed, tense, women who need a relaxing treatment of well-being.

The special feature of l'evasion sensorel is the fan brushes made of fine goat hair. They are stroked over you face, arms and decollete three times during the expenience, and if that doesn't relax you then nothing will.

The facial features warmth as its other special factor. Warm towels, wet and dry, warm creams, warm lotions. The only part that is cool is the masque which has the most delicious aroma and is designed for this facial exclusively to lift and hydrate.

So it starts with a warm towel on the hands and arms, you are actually wrapped in it and it is pressed close to you for a comforting feeling that immediately signals you are safe, you are in good hands, you can relax.

After cleansing with warmed creme nettoyant, the brushes begin. Two fan brushes of the softest goat hair are stroked slowly and rythmically along your face, arms and upper decollete. The aesthetician's hands move in a ballet over your skin. You start to doze off - and wake yourself up so you won't miss the rest of the experience! The signature Yonka lucas spray comes BEFORE the warm gommage in this facial and it feels quite different. Also the gommage is stroked over the neck which I had never experienced before. Then those wonderful brushes again. I almost succumbed, but I had to write about this for you so I forced my self to stay awake!

The brush massage is heaven and it is followed by warm hands that stroke the face, neck, decollete, and eyes. This is preparation for the masque which is applied thickly and smells divine...and before the masque goes on a warm towel is placed under each shoulder blade to help in the relaxation process (as if I needed any!). During the masque my feet were tenderly wiped with another warm towel and gently massaged. This was approaching bliss.

The masque is lifted off, and those magic brushes start again...then a base cream of fruitelia which is so satisfying to the senses, and a long arm stretch over the head, and believe it or not, those brushes again, stroking down my back after yet another warm compress.

I won't go into all the creams and lotions that are used in the facial, they are wonderful, but the focus here is on relaxation and it is just that - an experience of new sensations, radiant stress-free skin, and restored harmony.

Do try this, it will change your life and give you such a sense of joy to know that you can come and treat yourself to this little bit of relaxation heaven when you need

PLAISIR DES SENS FACIAL WITH A DEEP PORE CLEANSING ELEMENT

This facial has long been our most luxurious, but for February we decided to add a deep cleansing element, so you really can have your cake and eat it too! And leave with a brightened complexion; one more youthful, fresh and dewy.

Plaisir Des Sens is a term referring to pleasure of the senses, and the combined elements of this facial are exactly that: massage, essential oils, and the principles of aromatherapy.

So, lets get specific -this is the protocol and it is AMAZING

Plaisir des Sens facials begin with a HALF-HOUR BACK MASSAGE utilizing hot chakra-balancing stones.

Clients then receive a complete cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing facial a la Yonka le Grand Classique, a deep pore facial (WITH EXTRACTION CLEANSING).

This is followed by WARM STONES chosen to improve the skin's condition. Volcanic stone is used to oxygenate the skin, while cool aqua jade pebbles are rubbed over puffy eyes to reduce swelling.

SEVEN different semiprecious gems are placed on facial tender points, which help to rebalance the energies of the body and leave a complexion that is fresh, dewy and radiant.

This facial was inspired by Yoga tradition, and as a fitness facial it works to re-balance the 7 core points of the body for enhanced energy flow.

*Captivating aromas through Sensory Therapy

*Superb energy through Chakra Therapy

*Healing colors through Color Gem Therapy

*Yang massage through Volcanic Stone Therapy

*Contour firming through Aqua Pebble Therapy.

PLAISIR DES SENS is a 90 MINUTE facial, a total body experience complete with the sensation of inner beauty, the essence of skin illumination. It is hard to say which is more amazing in Plaisir des Sens, the way it sounds or the way it feels. Come in and treate yourself.

Don't forget to ask for a paraffin treatment for your feet while you luxuriate.

FACIAL MASSAGE

I know, you are thinking, that facials come with massage, and it is true, our aestheticians are trained and skilled at those wonderful moves that make a facial such a pleasure- the flicks, the thrumming, the circling and the light pressure at just the right moment and in just the right place.

But we are talking about a more focused and intense facial massage here and you can have it as an added service when you come in for your Grand Classique or any other facial on our menu.

One of the great benefits of facial massage is that it helps to increase the flow of blood, pumping through the areas of your face and whisking away impurities, thereby improving circulation and detoxification.

The creams a lotions we use at Ananas Spa are based on essential oils to help you to relax and to aid in decongestion. This is a perfect treatment for Winter cold weather. A gentle effleurage (gliding) movement is most often used to perform facial massage and you will find it stimulating as well as gentle. The pressure strokes move upwards to give your facial muscles a lift; your mind quiets; your relaxation is assured.

Our faces help us communicate in showing emotions, help us to eat, and help us to talk. Facial massage will refresh, calm, ease and make more supple those muscles that do so much work for us all day long. They deserve it!

Don't forget to book the additional half hour Facial Massage when you book your regular skin care service.

NEW! GLYCOLIC PEEL

VITAMIN A BOOSTER FACIAL TREATMENT

This is the time of year! Summer is behind us (they haven't resort into the stores yet), so we have a few months ahead when we can really get serious about our skin. Micro dermabrasion is one of the treatments we offer for the off-season when there is not much sun, but we have a new addition to this type of skincare and it is a real boost a Glycolic PEEL vitamin A boost. Here's what it does: it tightens, making the skin look younger and more glowing and distinctly clearer.

We suggest that you alternate weeks with the three possibilities although your aesthetician will confer with you: One week micro, one week Glycolic PEEL vitamin A booster, and one week with both tell you how they are combined below). It will make a lovely difference to the clarity of your skin.

Once you are tucked up on your treatment bed (with a warm pad underneath to fight the chill of these wet cold days and a feather duvet on top to make you snug) your skin will be cleansed with a light lathering product, rinsed and patted dry.

The peel solution is applied in a light buffing motion avoiding the sensitive eye area. It stays on for a few minutes and is removed with a more vigorous buffing motion.

A glycolic acid is applied carefully to the skin avoiding the eyes. FOR SENSITIVE SKIN we substitute a lactic acid. Whichever you need it stays on for a couple of minutes.

Neutralizer is generously applied next to make sure the acids are no longer active. We rinse and pat dry.

IF YOU ARE DOING THE COMBINATION this is when the MICRODERMABRASION is performed. To briefly recap how microdermabrasion works:

First it Corrects: the speed of the crystal flow causes an abrasive action that gently removes the surface layers of the skin allowing smoother, fresher skin to emerge.
At the same time the treatment Stimulates: The vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation increasing the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration. It also stimulates formation of new collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and elasticity.

Returning to the Glycolic PEELVitamin A Booster Treatment a thin layer of Retinyl treatment is applied all over the face, avoiding the eyes. This stays on for 5 minutes and is then removed and your skin rinsed until it is clear of product. Sensitive skins will receive a hydra repair mask instead of the Retinyl.

A few drops of VitA clear serum are gently patted on the skin and allowed to dry. If your skin is sensitive you will receive as a substitute the green tea moisturizer, which has the most delicious fragrance.

Finally, AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANTLY you will be using sun block and we will apply it for you, but earnestly request that you use it every day under your moisturizer.

There are some people who should NOT consider this treatment and I will tell you who (although a lot of the reasons are self evident) and these exceptions are in the protocol that comes with the treatment. Believe me, I could never have thought up some of them!

Not if you have used Accutane within one or two years unless your doctor thinks it is OK.
Not on skins that are sensitive to hyper-pigmentation.
Not if you have a cold sore.
Not if you have moderate to severe rosacea.
Not if you are pregnant or lactating.
Not if you are a Nervous Nellie! and are acting strange. (my term, theirs was mildly insulting).
Not if you have an infectious disease.
Not if there are any open sores on your skin.
Not if you are wearing semi-permanent make-up.

NOW, THE PEOPLE WHO DO WANT TO DO THIS are those who have some moderate wrinkles, any scarring, sun damaged skin, enlarged pores, and those of you who want to correct age spots. And for you, this is a MUST. You will love it, it feels tingly during the process and refreshing after, and your skin will really glow, looking tighter and newer. You will be peeling lightly for a few days and when your face is wet it will tingle again. This is all part of the PEEL process. And remember, it is a series of treatments, and you can only really do it during the months when you are not in the sun, so NOW is the perfect time for THE GLYCOLIC PEEL VITAMIN A BOOSTER TREATMENT at ANANAS SPA.

FACE and FEET

Somehow the summer sun seems to make our complexions look coarser, so this is the perfect time for our Yonka Alpha-Vital Resurfacing AHA-BHA Facial.

Alpha-Vital not only smoothes your skin, but it is one of our anti-aging facials. It stands to reason that dead skin cells that hang on too long to the skins surface contribute to the signs of premature aging. Alpha-Vital's purpose is to get rid of tired, dull skin and show off your skin

The exquisite ingredients responsible for Alpha-Vitalefficacy are all organically sourced AHAs and BHAs from fresh fruits, plants and trees.

The exquisite key steps to this facial are:

A warm aromatic compress

Soothing 5 essential oils pulverization

Plant-based hydro-peel

Acidifying oil-free essences compress

Rapid exfoliation fruit acid gel

Relaxing massage with serum ampule and AHA lotion

The exquisite key products that are part of Alpha-Vital, and which you will want to have at home are:

Daytime new skin phyto fruit moisturizer ALPHA CONTOUR An eye anti-wrinkle gel

ALPHA EXFOLIATEUR - A night-time intensive skin-renewal preparation.

THE ANANAS OXYGEN/SERUM ANTI-AGING, ENERGIZING FACIAL

If you want to try something really super come in and have the Ananas Oxygen/Serum Anti-aging, Energizing Facial to really jump-start your complexion after all the dehydration the sun may have caused.

I agreed to be the model (it's tough, but someone has to do it!) for the photos you see here (Renata was the photographer and Marina the aesthetician) which will just give you a clue as to how the oxygen is applied...and it was SO good. I had access to a mirror so I could see the lines diminishing as the serum and oxygen were delivered with the airbrush gun. This is called the nebulization mode. It feels super, and it really makes your skin look phenomenal. When oxygen is delivered to your skin this way it works to restabilize and invigorate your skin; can reduce acne and eczema; and has a calming, healing, antiseptic effect. It also gives you high-level protection against free radicals.

The facial starts with cleansing, then a gommage (a soft peel), followed by a micro peel ampule to really refresh your skin before the oxygen and serum are laid on. The gommage is removed with a pair of small brushes that are stroked upwards. Your aesthetician will give you a facial muscle stimulation (a cream application) with light massage.This is a very specific massage using only upward strokes, to help lift in the anti-aging process. Then came the nebulization oxygen-serum application I mentioned above.

After the serum application one of our lifting and anti-aging masks will be painted onto your face with a lovely soft brush. Our aestetician will select the right mask for your slin from our mask I had the cucumber, which you can see is really green! It feels so cooling and soothing. The mask sets (you can actually see your features in the inside after it is lifted off) and during the setting the oxygen is applied again, this time in the facial mode which is through the use of a clear plastic mask with the oxygen lead. Oxygen delivered this way helps stimulate the metabolic functions and improves blood circulation and the radiance of your skin.

There are more light upward strokes while your face is treated with Optimizer serum and moisturizer. My skin felt plumped up, moist, fresh and it LOOKED it, too.

Do give this wonderful facial a try while is it our monthly special. Just so you know, there are no extractions in this treatment - just pure luxury.

Need a quick plump? The Oxygen Treatment is a half an hour and consists of the cleansing, serum with oxygen, mask with oxygen, serum and moisturizer as described above - it's the short version.

Hydralessence

HYDRALESSENCE it's a new facial from Yon ka Paris, and we want to tell you about it. This indulgent, deeply penetrating moisture surge facial will revive the most dehydrated of complexions. A palette of vitaminized creams applied with warm healing massaging hands gently cleanses, firms, and smoothes. Luxuriate in a duette of superb Yon ka masks. The first, a refreshing thirst quenching gel mask reduces signs of wrinkles and fatigue. The second, a rich hydrating fruit mask is redolent with the fragrance of nectars from the gardens of Provence.

The HYDRALESSENCE FACIAL results in a soft, polished, supple finish. Just superb!

Sothys Beauty Garden Organic Treatment

There is an important ethos behind the development of the new SOTHYS BEAUTY GARDEN ORGANIC PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT...a 4 step procedure to help you create your own link with nature.

Perhaps it is best to know what the founder, Bernard Mas, feels about the extraordinary beauty of his region in France on the edge of the Gorges de Dordogne, which inspires him to create Organic beauty products.

"Let me make a confession: for many years I devoted all my energy to the development of Sothys 'the signature of excellence in professional skin care' in Tokyo, New York or Singapore. However, my thoughts were never far from Auriac, with it's rich, green garden deep in the heart of the Correze. It is a magical place, away from the madness of this century and always gives me a sense of peace.

It is not easy to reach this place, far from everything. Up in the incredible plateau of Waintrie one can feel the power of nature wholly preserved. This isolation has created a wilderness of outstanding biodiversity and by a lake I created a Botanic arboretum "Les Jardins de Sothys" which is an exceptional site full of discoveries and reveries open to all.

But to go furher, for those who want to feel the incredible benefits of nature at home, I wanted to launch a new line of natural cosmetics: BEAUTY GARDEN BY SOTHYS."

BEAUTY GARDEN BY SOTHYS is a 4 step professional facial that ANANAS SPA is proud to present to our clients this summer. We have wanted to add an organic line to our excellence skin care program and feel that BEAUTY GARDEN is perfect for us and our discerning and "green" thinking client. The products are also available in our boutique for home care to support the professional facial.

M. Mas has harvested wonderful ingredients for these four steps:

Make-up removing fluid with cherry bud: a fluid and light emulsion to cleanse the skin and leave it supple and clean with an exquisite feeling of freshness. The aesthetician then applies floral water with angelica and hawthorn to finalize make-up removal.

Helianthus and walnut shells exfoliant: this exfoliant gently eliminates dead cells to reveal a radiant complexion. The fresh scent combines notes of green leaf, peach, rose, geranium, cedar and sage. A relaxing modelling massage of the face and neck follows with the organic helianthus oil.

Comfort mask with helianthus and rosemary: a mask suitable for all skin types it provides instant softness and a radiant complexion. An even layer is applied to the face, eye zone and neck and remains on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes when it is removed and followed with floral water with angelica and hawthorn.

Face care with helianthus and rosemary: the final step in the BEAUTY GARDEN by SOTHYS facial, this gentle cream provides softness and radiance, protects the skin and helps to delay the onset of the fist signs of ageing and leaves the skin glowing with vitality. It is stroked lightly on the face and neck and should be applied morning and evening.

When scientific knowledge and true passion meet, a product results which is intrinsically honest. Siimplicity and love for the real is BEAUTY GARDEN BY SOTHYS at ANANAS SPA.

ENDERMOLOGIE AND LIPOMASSAGE

Ananas Spa would like to remind you that bathing suit weather is just weeks away... Are you ready? We can help you prepare with a scientifically proven system of endermologie and lipomassage. Both were created by the French who know a thing or two about bodies, and are not only efficacious but beneficial.

What you are required to do is hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. You should increase the number of glasses of water you drink to at least 8, 10 is even better. AND come to Ananas Spa and sign up for a series of 12 sessions (some peope require more, some less) with our expert aestheticians who will help minimize the appearance of those orange-peelly bumps on your tummy, hips and thighs.

Endermologie is the overall treatment for your body, lipomassage targets problem areas that you want to tackle. Both will make you look and feel your best.

These forms of massage are performed while you wear a specially designed opaque white bodysuit for ease of movement with our state of the art machine. The massage does so much to improve circulation that professional athletes frequently use it to speed healing after an injury. You will find that the relaxing rhythm of the rollers invigorates you as no traditional massage can.

OPTIMIZE what you have

Ananas Spas Yonka Paris Optimizer Facial answers the three essential needs of our winter weary skin:

It is anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and lift-effective.

The treatment is specific; the process is indulgent: First relax with the aromatic steam compress; next a plant base soft gel peel is applied with brushes. The ingredients provide aromatic stimulation and a micro peeling exfoliation. An anti-wrinkle firming treatment is applied exactly where needed, followed by a relaxing and healing massage of face, neck and decollete.
