Have you ever debated which hair removal method is the best option - waxing or shaving?
Hair removal techniques have been around for centuries, yet it is still difficult to choose which one is the most beneficial. With similar results, the question remains: Which one is better for your skin? Look no further - we will explore the two methods and their benefits.
Shaving
Shaving is a hair removal technique that involves the use of a blade, usually a razor. It cuts the hair shaft to where it exits the skin, very close to the skin’s surface. Shaving is a fast, affordable way to remove hair.
The one major difference between waxing and shaving is how long the results last. If you want your skin to stay smooth and hair-free, you will need to shave anywhere from every day to every three days. Because of the frequency, this method can cause inflammation and irritation due to ingrown hairs, razor burn, and even cuts or nicks. Failing to properly sanitize your razor or using a blunt razor can even lead to infections! Moreover, because shaving only removes hair on the surface level, it also appears thicker and more stubbly as it grows in.
Tips
Since shaving requires a razor, choosing the best one is of the utmost importance. There are several types of razors available, depending on the type of hair, body part, and of course, budget.
Never, ever shave dry as this can cause more complications. Use shaving cream beforehand and apply moisturizing products afterward. Products designed for sensitive skincare, which are often made with shea butter, sunflower seed oil, and oatmeal, are best for relieving irritation caused by shaving. Lastly, make sure to shave in the direction of the hair growth to avoid ingrown hairs.
Achieve a clean, effortless look with Spavia waxing
Waxing is a method of removing body hair using warm wax to quickly remove the entire hair from the root. Because waxing removes hair from the root, the hair does not grow back quickly. A session can leave one area hair-free for three to four weeks saving you time, unlike shaving. Over time, the hair also grows back thinner and lighter making ingrown hairs less likely. In addition, since the wax also removes the topmost layers of the skin, it doubles as an exfoliation process, leaving skin smoother, bump-free, and itch-free even as hair grows back.
At Spavia, our certified estheticians use the highest quality wax which saves you time and provides smooth, long-lasting results.
Before your wax treatment we recommend:
● Ensure the hair is ¼ – ½ inch long to be effective
● Lightly exfoliate the skin 24 to 48 hours prior
● Please refrain from tanning, and limit your intake of caffeine and nicotine prior to treatment.
● To help reduce pain, pain reducers such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol can be taken 30-45 minutes prior to treatment.
So what are you waiting for? Say goodbye to that unwanted hair without the effort and schedule your waxing appointment today at Spavia Day Spa!

Mike Mallory, the founder of RAD Roller, is here to chat with Allison Langenderfer, Co-Founder and President of Spavia Day Spa, about his line of innovative recovery tools and education programs. We will get a deeper look into Mike’s inspiration, the use of massage tools, and a few tips and tricks when our minds and bodies are under a little stress.
Allison: Hi Mike - I’m so excited to talk with you today! Tell us more about your inspiration in starting RAD Roller?
Mike: Hi Allison, great to talk! Having been a competitive mogul skier and mountain biker all my life, I’ve racked up a lot of injuries. I wanted tools for myself and tools for my clients who were working through their own issues. Foam rollers were on the market, but we wanted to take an innovative spin on a product that wasn’t quite getting the job done.
Allison: What is the story behind the name RAD Roller?
Mike: I wanted a product that was accessible to everyone… and using some kind of medical name wasn’t in the cards. We wanted something fun and approachable, it was an easy choice.
Allison: Education is a key value at RAD Roller. Tell us more about this.
Mike: Throughout school as kids, we learn various ways to get our heart rate up, but that’s about it. Mobility and posture aren’t really touched upon, and mobility is one of the most important things we can learn in terms of keeping our bodies at their most optimal. It’s usually a simple process of taking the tension off your joints, which helps them to stay balanced, and injury-free. Self-myofascial release is the technical term for what our tools do. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds all our muscle tissues, and when you’re stretching, generally it’s the fascia that you’re feeling. At RAD, we have professional education that teaches the deeper science of self-myofascial release, and an amazing app for consumers to learn the myriad of techniques available to us all.
Allison: What health benefits does mobility training provide?
Mike: Honestly there are a million reasons, but what comes to mind when I think of mobility, I think of a kind of lightness in my own body. When you sit in a chair all day, you start to feel pulled down from your neck and back. When you feel aligned and mobile, you feel open, light, and full of possibility. Tight muscles are physical stressors; they contort your body, waste energy, and increase your chance of injuries. It feels great to live in a body that’s open, aligned, and full of possibility… It lightens the mental load as well!
Allison: How do your products enhance massage?
Mike: Think of an NBA player. They have massage therapists on staff, and they get treatment after every game, every week. For them, it’s convenient, quick, and helps them to recover for the next round. We’re not that different. In a perfect world, we’d all be getting massages a few times a week to correct all that time in chairs, driving, etc… But that’s not reasonable for a variety of reasons. Having tools at hand allows everyone to ‘put out the fires on a daily basis, allowing the therapists to take their expert training even deeper when we can deal with the daily stresses in our bodies.
Allison: I know you are an avid skier, what is your warm-up and cool-down routine?
Mike: My routine’s a little different than most, just because I’m a pretty aggressive skier. In fact, I’m in a wheelchair right now because of it ;)... Long story… So my current routine is dealing with a lot of scar tissue and using the Rod to pump out swelling that walking would usually take care of. Normally, it’s making sure my knees and back are open and mobile, ready to move through big ranges of motion. For normal folks who don’t ski every week, using the rod on their legs can help reduce all that soreness from the first day… It’s a game-changer!
Allison: When under a lot of stress, what is your go-to RAD remedy?
Mike: Definitely my upper back and neck. Stress tends to live there in a lot of people. Open up your upper back with the RAD Roller, and use the Rod on your upper neck. Stress manifests in the body as well as your mind, and helping to open up your back can be a backdoor to reducing mental stress. Five minutes can change your whole day!
Allison: What is your motivation to keep doing what you are doing each day?
Mike: I’ve gone through a lot of injuries and pains through crashes and whatnot and having the ability to help ‘fix’ my own problems has been super empowering. Helping people feel better is really what it’s all about, and we’ve got plenty of resources to do that.
Allison: What is something that may surprise us about you?
Mike: When I was very young I wanted to be a Garbage Man when I grew up because you got to ride on the back of the truck all day… That dream hasn’t come to fruition yet, but you never know ;)... Oh, and I can speak Mandarin, albeit a little rusty.
Allison: I love hearing people’s favorite positive quotes...what is your favorite?
Mike: Well it’s a bit of a cliche, but quite literal now given my rehab situation: ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” Lao Tzu.
Allison: Thank you so much for your time, Mike. I loved learning about how RAD Roller started and your passions.
Mike: Thanks so much, Allison! Love what Spavia is doing to help people all over the US.

Allison Langenderfer, Co-Founder and President of Spavia Day Spa, is excited to interview Shannon McLinden, the founder of FarmHouse Fresh, an all-natural and organic skincare brand. They will chat about Shannon’s inspiration, the importance of ingredients, and let’s not forget the animals and giving back - two key pillars of FarmHouse Fresh.
Allison: Take us back - what was your inspiration in starting FarmHouse Fresh?
Shannon: I was an avid jogger, and so many of us who run have cracked heels due to the heat and moisture of closed running shoes. So I began tinkering to create a foot polish that I could use in the shower to keep my heels from cracking. Rice bran oil made a big difference, and sea salt too. That combination became the base of a trio of foot polishes that I packaged and sent to Oprah Magazine. I had no idea that they would be selected for her O List! Once the magazine landed, I kept following customer requests for products which included Honey Heel Glaze (it also made the O List), our Whoopie Shea Butter cream which won a Redbook Magazine award… Wine Down facial serum which was picked as a favorite by InStyle Magazine… I just kept creating products that were highly natural, infused with U.S. grown ingredients, and that could transform a spa experience for guests. It’s been 17 years in the making!
Allison: Your headquarters in McKinney, Texas, is also home to an animal sanctuary. Tell us more about how this was created!
Shannon: We built our headquarters with both a hydroponic farming operation and a non-profit animal sanctuary. It includes a medical/quarantine area, several barns, and acres of land where our employees take care of the farm animals – horses, donkeys, goats, sheep. Animals come into the sanctuary in conditions that take your breath away -- they have been abused, neglected, or brought to sale barns without hope of adoption due to injury, age, and would otherwise be euthanized. The experience of caring for them is transforming! Watching them walk again, gain weight, become vibrant, happy, and healthy – is a soul-touching experience that is made possible through the purchase of our products. Not everyone has personal time to volunteer in their local communities, but through FarmHouse Fresh you can make an immediate impact by simply purchasing products you love.
Allison: Something I love about your products is ‘Track Your Batch.’
Shannon: Yes! If you turn your jar upside down or look at the crimped edge of a tube, you can type the batch code you see into our search function at FarmHouseFreshGoods.com. It will pull up all the rescue initiatives made possible by you in the very month your jar came off the line. Sometimes your purchases have funded a large animal rescue in another state, helped feed animals at our sanctuary, provided vet care to injured animals, or transported dogs from a kill shelter to adoptive families. We really send product funds far and wide, so that together we can do the most good for animals everywhere.
Allison: What we put on our skin is so important and we know ingredients are so important to your products, tell us more about this selection process.
Shannon: We like to say, ‘We Grow, so Your Skin Glows.’ We focus on growing high nutrition extracts that get crafted into our skincare. Fresh microgreens are grown fresh daily in our hydroponic greenhouse, and we grow cucumbers seasonally. The extracts are potent and fresh and used in our over 200 products. We carefully consider each microgreen for its phytochemical content – honing in on the best plant varieties for the product we’re developing. This week you’ll find parsley, kale, red garnet micro amaranth, and more growing or drying on our property.
A fun fact about our cucumbers is that within 24 hours of their harvest, they become an extract and we feed the leftover pulp and rinds to our farmer’s egg-laying chickens. It’s a zero-waste process that we’re very proud of.
Allison: What are a few of your favorite ingredient (and/or) skincare trends?
Shannon: Fermentation is fantastic! This is a process where good bacteria, yeast, or microorganisms are placed with fruits, vegetables, or other plants and within a short period of time, the enzyme process can actually increase the concentration of phytochemicals in the plant. It makes them more potent. We use fermented lemon peel as one of many fruit acids in our Illumination Fruit Acid Peel Mask. In general, we love that so many brands are incorporating more natural and sustainable ingredients into their formulas. The more we all move toward this initiative, it’s progress for the planet, progress for people, and healthier skin & wellness.
Allison: How do you think COVID has changed our industry?
Shannon: It has impacted our industry so much. There’s renewed interest in relaxation and general wellbeing, which includes loving the skin you’re in. We’ve found piqued interest in specific ingredients and their functions, as well as an openness to trying new routines and regimens that maybe in the past might have seemed cumbersome but today are something to look forward to!
Allison: What FarmHouse Fresh product (or products) can you not live without?
Shannon: That’s like asking a bear what its favorite flavor of honey is ????… Our significant others complain that they can’t see our sinks – there are so many FarmHouse Fresh products in our bathrooms! I use our bar soaps in the shower to shave, Moon Dip on my body, and I never start the day without Illumination Juice Facial Tonic – I spray so much of this peptide/superfruit brightener on, that it takes 5 minutes to dry! I actually get dressed while it dries. I consider myself a dry skin type, so I layer Supremely Lit Hi-Bio Hemp Serum under almost any moisturizer. Right now, it’s Full Moon Illuminating Facial Mousse. Glowing. When people come in to interview, they always say we all look so fresh and glowy. That’s the greatest compliment!
Allison: When did you first fall in love with animals/skincare?
Shannon: I fell in love with animals so, so young as probably all kids do? Bringing birds and bunnies in the house. In high school when I started driving, my dad lectured me about not stopping on the side of the road for a wounded animal, or I could end up running over myself. That was me. And fast forward to my foot care creation and Oprah feature – I was excited to help others solve their skincare needs. In my teen years, I had great challenges with low self-esteem. Not feeling pretty enough or smart enough, and wondering how I would ever have value for this world. I solved that by putting my passion and talents to use by crafting really effective skincare products that help so many people. And I wanted to do more with these loves — to continue to find people passionate about both wellness and animal rescue (which isn’t hard! Many of our employee's volunteer, foster animals, run nonprofits, sit on boards – all related to animals). We get to lift people up every day for a living, by helping them look and feel their best. And we also help animals overcome, survive, and live a life full of hugs and love. I have a huge love for what I do. HUGE. I don’t know how I got so lucky, and I try to cram everything I can into every day to ensure this model thrives and expands.
Allison: Like you, I have a huge passion for what I do... What has been the most rewarding part of your journey to start FarmHouse Fresh?
Shannon: Finding my passion and purpose, and realizing how much power we all have to change lives, animals, the planet – everything we can put our talents to – simply by buying products from companies that give to a greater good. That quote – “Your future's so bright, I can hardly see…” I feel that way every day about myself, my team, really everyone who aligns their passion and purpose to incorporate a greater good.
Allison: What is your motivation to keep doing what you are doing each day?
Shannon: I’m surrounded by it. Many of the books that I read when I was young to overcome my teen depression reiterated how important it is to create a space to live in that lifts you up, to surround yourself with people you admire, and to volunteer and find purpose. These are pillars of our surroundings here at FarmHouse Fresh. We have bunny-themed bathrooms and trees and plants everywhere indoors. Our team is full of warm, conscientious people who are so talented and who all rally around this bigger dream and don’t run for the hills when they find out they might have to help bottle feed a lamb some morning.
Allison: What is something we may not know about you?
Shannon: I’m a creative introvert – designing, dreaming, inventing. My team will tell you that they have created email folders “to read later” because I share designs, dreams, and inventions nearly daily – ideas meant to be squinted at and improved upon, added to, and expanded. It’s endless and I have to actively take measures to shut the process off to get sleep. Maybe it’s an entrepreneurial curse? I don’t know. 2 out of 10 ideas are good, but I enjoy the process. It does not, however, make me a spectacular manager or trainer! I rely heavily on the fabulous people within our company to put their skill sets to their passions here, so that the farm is bustling in the right direction as I dream and design away.
Allison: What do you like to do outside of work?
Shannon: Cleaning barn stalls, brushing our many sanctuary animals, and hugging every. Single. One. I can spend a whole afternoon filling muck carts on the hill because they all wander over eventually and scratch against me and say hello.
Allison: Oh my, I love to muck too...we will have to have a mucking session together...lol!
Allison: I love hearing people’s favorite positive quotes...what is your favorite?
Shannon: “Only good things.” This is how my husband responds any time I am worrying about something which is often. It’s a good reminder that what you put your energy into expands. So I try to reframe my brain with this quite often.
Allison: Thank you so much for your time, Shannon. I loved learning about how FarmHouse Fresh started and your passions. I am so grateful to have a strong partnership with an amazing company that is so focused on such an important cause.
Shannon: It was great to talk with you, Allison! We are so happy to be partnering with Spavia to bring a Farm to Treatment experience to your guests -- something new every season. I can't wait to go and experience the Summertime Smoothie Firming Facial at my local Spavia soon!
At Spavia Day Spa, we use FarmHouse Fresh products in our Seasonal Facials, and the products are available in our spa boutiques. Find a spa near you today to schedule your next treatment and ask about the Seasonal Facials. Learn more about FarmHouse Fresh products here: www.farmhousefreshgoods.com.
Men recognition in our spas is important to the Spavia Day Spa community and we are happy to offer result-driven treatments for men that will keep them coming back for more! We want to celebrate Father’s Day month by digging into a few tips and tricks for men that will leave their skin looking fresh, muscles relaxed, and mind stress-free.
Men Skin Care:
Spavia knows that an effective skin care regimen for men is a powerful tool to combat the after-effects of shaving, exercising, work stress, and more. So, we offer a facial designed specifically for men that will work for all skin types: our Skin Fix Facial. The Men’s Skin Fix Facial targets dry skin from shaving and will cleanse and exfoliate the skin to give it a burst of rehydration.
Here are a few of the products used in the Men’s Skin Fix Facial:
What are your favorite treatments at Spavia and why?
I've got to go with the 80-minute Deep Tissue Massage. Regularly receiving a massage keeps my body happy. I'll admit that the 20 additional minutes makes a significant difference in the therapeutic benefits.
How do Spavia treatments play a role in your life?
Since I opened Spavia Thornwood, I have been regularly getting massages. I have found that I emerge from a massage feeling great and ready to tackle the day. In addition, my sleep quality and ability to concentrate have improved over time.
If you have tried the CAUSE+MEDIC CBD products, when do you find them best to use?
I have benefitted from the CAUSE+MEDIC CBD pain cream before and after workouts. It does a good job of reducing the pain in my lower back.
Meet West, owner of Spavia Elmhurst!
If you have tried the CAUSE+MEDIC CBD products, when do you find them best to use?
CAUSE+MEDIC CBD products are great for those days after overdoing it in the yard or playing football with my son. I typically use the pain cream and follow it up with a warm neck pillow to help it penetrate the muscle.
Do you have any tips for other men who have never received a spa treatment before?
Specialists are great at reading a guest's body language during the treatment, but they aren't mind readers. Make sure to give feedback throughout the treatment so they are able to adjust the treatment to give you the best results. Spas aren't just for women anymore! More and more men are coming in because they see both the physical and mental health benefits.
Meet Chris, a massage therapist at Spavia Park Meadows!
What are your favorite treatments at Spavia and why?
My favorite treatments are the Salt Stone and Sports Massage Treatment. I work with many athletic individuals and both treatments help me and my guests. The heat from the stones in both treatments is best for guests who ache after a long run or a great workout.
What are some of your favorite products from Spavia?
I like to use the CAUSE+MEDIC CBD muscle balm most because it really helps sore muscles. My guests love the tingling sensation the balm gives, and I like it because it relieves the tension to loosen up sore and aching muscles.
If you have tried the CAUSE+MEDIC CBD and/or the Hypervolt products, when do you find them best to use?
I have used both and I let many of my guests know about how they can use the CAUSE+MEDIC CBD oil, butter, or balm at home in between their monthly treatments. The Hypervolt treatment I find is best used when a guest schedules a last-minute appointment. I know that a last-minute appointment usually means they are hurting. When they arrive, I find out where they hurt and recommend the Hypervolt to help me warm up the tissue before I begin the massage.

Mother’s Day is a day to sit back and acknowledge all of the incredible efforts that come with being a mom. They take on the endless job to provide healthy and happy lives for their kids. A day to honor such strong and dedicated women is not enough to appreciate all that they do, but instead is a day to reflect on all of the good that they bring into our lives.
Spavia Day Spa is proud to have a strong community of women who take on different roles as mothers and loved ones, and we want to recognize a few of those amazing women with a fun Q&A!
Meet Jessica, Director of Spa Services on the National Team!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
Invest in equipment to have at home! I typically watch my favorite show and work out at the same time. Even if it is only 20-30 minutes and I don't lose time commuting to a gym! My kids know it is my time to unwind and burn off energy and I am still home to be with them.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
My kids are constantly telling me to stop worrying, everything will be fine. There is a saying - there are 99 things to worry about that will never happen. It is so true and they are great about enjoying the present and staying in the moment. I don't think mothers can ever stop worrying about our kids but Covid really has allowed more family time and I love that.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
What don't I love about Spavia! I think my favorite thing about Spavia is the affordability it provides our guests which allows our specialists to work through a treatment plan for best results. My favorite treatments at Spavia are the Hydraderm and Salt Stone Massage.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
This is a hard one as I have many favorites. I think it is almost impossible to choose! If I had to choose one for each category.
Skincare: Image Ageless Total Retinol A Cream
Massage/Body: Rad Helix
Beauty: Chella Brow Cream
Meet Kari, the owner of Spavia Park Meadows!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
For almost 15 years now, Spavia has been a core part of my self-care routine. Having that designated time to myself to relax and come away feeling and looking better has been incredibly important.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
It has been difficult at times watching my kids go through the experience of losing so much of their normal routines, yet at the same time learning how to embrace this new way of life has been inspiring to me. I learn just as much from them about how to be resilient, adaptable, and to never stop asking questions!
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
Right now, I am obsessed with the Comfort Zone Tranquility Oil! The aroma is so pleasant and calming, a wonderful addition to any long soak in the tub!
Meet Sandra, a Spavia Member!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
When you take care of yourself, you feel better and have more energy. Exercising is a great way to do so, and my favorites are yoga, pilates, and walking the treadmill! I also go in for my massage and facial once a month to treat myself to more me-time.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
Most of my kids stayed with me during quarantine and I got to see how close all of them are when we played games over the weekend and just watched tv together. I learned from them during that time that it's best to laugh and be around family during difficult times.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
I love the team members at Spavia because they are easy to talk to and I feel so welcomed every time I go there. My favorite treatments are the Hydraderm and the Signature Massage.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
So many to choose from! But I would have to go with the Image Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque and the Image Iluma Intense Brightening Serum!
Meet Jennifer, the owner of Spavia Lafayette!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
I try to schedule some me-time at the spa at least once a month. Keeping water and on-the-go snacks helps between running the spa and being a realtor!
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
Covid really made us slow down and be present. We enjoyed so many family game nights and family dinners without having to rush to do homework.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
I love the retreat room! Our guests come early to relax and stay a little after. It’s such a relaxing and serene space that really allows the mind to absorb the peacefulness that we deserve. My favorite treatments have to be the 100-minute couple’s massage and all the special facials.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
Oh, man! That’s a toss-up! I wear Scout bracelets, use Comfort Zone in between treatments, use my Sonoma Lavender neck pillow almost daily, and fill my house with Sweet Grace!
Meet Stephanie, the owner of Spavia West Plano!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
For me, I find that eating fruits and vegetables gives me tons of energy. (I switched to eating vegan a little over a year now and have been loving the energy I've gained!). I bring apples, bananas, and oranges with me everywhere I go so I always have healthy snacks with me. It's hard for me to find time to exercise, so I run around with the kids and chase them on the playgrounds whenever we can. They love it and I get some good exercise.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
I've learned so much about their learning styles and individual personalities. We've spent so much more time together this year. We work on school together and have done a better job of playing games and getting outside together. While this past year has been very stressful, I'm so fortunate to have them with me so much more and deepen our relationships.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
I love how Spavia allows me to spend more time with my family. I have a fantastic leadership team that provides amazing customer service, a world-class manager, and a spa that our guests absolutely love. I can't pick just one favorite treatment - I love the Deep Tissue Massage (it's always my favorite!) and the new Signature Classic Refresh Facial is divine.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
Just one?! I love the Comfort Zone Essential Facial Wash and I use it with my SpaCell every day. My skin always feels so smooth and smells so clean! And I wear the Image Tinted Moisturizer every day to protect my skin and give it a slight tint. I don't leave the house without it!
Meet Jamie, an esthetician at Spavia Park Meadows!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
It is a constant challenge to set time away for myself, but I am truly blessed that my family is close to help me when I need a little break. It is true when they say, it takes a village to raise these little people.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
Luckily, my kids are still little, so COVID has not affected them too much nor do we try to
draw too much attention to it but we have learned that kids are a lot more able to adapt to new circumstances than adults, that is for sure!
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
Being that I came from the “corporate world,” I love that Spavia is a much slower-paced environment, and my work does not come home with me. It is less stressful which is helpful when coming home to kids at the end of the day. I love that I get to go to work every day enjoying what I do.
I enjoy our eyelash extensions and Hydraderm treatment as they give you that little pick me up, which every mom loves!
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
I enjoy all the seasonal boutique products that Spavia offers as I can always find something cute to add to my home for each holiday.
Mother’s Day is a beautiful reminder to spend some extra time appreciating all that they do. One simple way to do so is to give her time to herself with a gift card from Spavia so she can take some much-deserved time to Relax, Recenter and Renew. Find a Spavia near you!
Meet Jessica, Director of Spa Services on the National Team!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
Invest in equipment to have at home! I typically watch my favorite show and work out at the same time. Even if it is only 20-30 minutes and I don't lose time commuting to a gym! My kids know it is my time to unwind and burn off energy and I am still home to be with them.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
My kids are constantly telling me to stop worrying, everything will be fine. There is a saying - there are 99 things to worry about that will never happen. It is so true and they are great about enjoying the present and staying in the moment. I don't think mothers can ever stop worrying about our kids but Covid really has allowed more family time and I love that.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
What don't I love about Spavia! I think my favorite thing about Spavia is the affordability it provides our guests which allows our specialists to work through a treatment plan for best results. My favorite treatments at Spavia are the Hydraderm and Salt Stone Massage.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
This is a hard one as I have many favorites. I think it is almost impossible to choose! If I had to choose one for each category.
Skincare: Image Ageless Total Retinol A Cream
Massage/Body: Rad Helix
Beauty: Chella Brow Cream
Meet Kari, the owner of Spavia Park Meadows!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
For almost 15 years now, Spavia has been a core part of my self-care routine. Having that designated time to myself to relax and come away feeling and looking better has been incredibly important.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
It has been difficult at times watching my kids go through the experience of losing so much of their normal routines, yet at the same time learning how to embrace this new way of life has been inspiring to me. I learn just as much from them about how to be resilient, adaptable, and to never stop asking questions!
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
Right now, I am obsessed with the Comfort Zone Tranquility Oil! The aroma is so pleasant and calming, a wonderful addition to any long soak in the tub!
Meet Sandra, a Spavia Member!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
When you take care of yourself, you feel better and have more energy. Exercising is a great way to do so, and my favorites are yoga, pilates, and walking the treadmill! I also go in for my massage and facial once a month to treat myself to more me-time.
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
Most of my kids stayed with me during quarantine and I got to see how close all of them are when we played games over the weekend and just watched tv together. I learned from them during that time that it's best to laugh and be around family during difficult times.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
I love the team members at Spavia because they are easy to talk to and I feel so welcomed every time I go there. My favorite treatments are the Hydraderm and the Signature Massage.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
So many to choose from! But I would have to go with the Image Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque and the Image Iluma Intense Brightening Serum!
Meet Jennifer, the owner of Spavia Lafayette!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
I try to schedule some me-time at the spa at least once a month. Keeping water and on-the-go snacks helps between running the spa and being a realtor!
What lessons have you learned from your kids during COVID?
Covid really made us slow down and be present. We enjoyed so many family game nights and family dinners without having to rush to do homework.
What do you like most about Spavia? What are your favorite Spavia treatments?
I love the retreat room! Our guests come early to relax and stay a little after. It’s such a relaxing and serene space that really allows the mind to absorb the peacefulness that we deserve. My favorite treatments have to be the 100-minute couple’s massage and all the special facials.
What is your favorite Spavia Spa Boutique product?
Oh, man! That’s a toss-up! I wear Scout bracelets, use Comfort Zone in between treatments, use my Sonoma Lavender neck pillow almost daily, and fill my house with Sweet Grace!
Meet Stephanie, the owner of Spavia West Plano!
Moms are always on the go. What are your tips for staying healthy and taking time for yourself?
For me, I find that eating fruits and vegetables gives me tons of energy. (I switched to eating vegan a little over a year now and have been loving the energy I've gained!). I bring apples, bananas, and oranges with me everywhere I go so I always have healthy snacks with me. It's hard for me to find time to exercise, so I run around with the kids and chase them on the playgrounds whenever we can. They love it and I get some good exercise.

Allison Langenderfer, Co-Founder and President of Spavia Day Spa is thrilled to interview the creator behind the award-winning, all-natural CBD skincare line, CAUSE+MEDIC. Hugh Huffaker, CEO and Co-Founder is here to share personal insights on what drove him to start CAUSE+MEDIC, what differentiates his products and company in the CBD industry, and a few fun facts about what makes him who he is today!
Allison: Let’s start from the beginning, why did you start CAUSE+MEDIC?
Hugh: I decided to go into the health and wellness industry after my mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a decade ago. She suffered from terrible leg spasms nightly and none of the muscle relaxers seemed to help at all. Upon reading about the strong connection between the endocannabinoid system and the central nervous system, I began researching how CBD could be used to help treat multiple sclerosis and started a CBD company called CAUSE+MEDIC which now holds patents on its micro-encapsulation process for increasing the solubility of CBD through the skin. CAUSE+MEDIC is not a traditional CBD company and partners only in the spa, club, and fitness industries. CAUSE+MEDIC also owns a spa in the beautiful mountain town of Buena Vista, Colorado where all new cutting-edge CBD treatments are being trialed. CAUSE+MEDIC has been featured in Forbes, Modern Luxury and has recently won Organic Spa Magazine's "Top CBD skincare Brand of 2020".
Allison: What are the key benefits of CBD?
Hugh: My favorite benefits of CBD for the spa industry involve its interaction with the central nervous system and immune system. The endocannabinoid system will communicate with the immune system and central nervous system to help with pain and injuries when CBD is introduced and binds to its receptors. Your immune system will produce more biochemicals associated with anti-inflammation while your central nervous system will help with pain by numbing some of the pain signals being sent to the brain.
Allison: CBD is everywhere, what sets your CBD products apart?
Hugh: There are a few things that set us apart from the rest of the CBD industry. The first is that we are a farm-to-bottle company. We don’t white label a random massage oil and buy CBD from other CBD companies. We own a farm where we can actually grow hemp properly and make sure that no nasty herbicides and pesticides are being used. This additionally gives us a key advantage of being able to control our pricing and supply chain.
Additionally, there are so many CBD companies that sell CBD joints, dog treats, skincare products, etc. Would you ever buy a skincare product from a company that also made dog treats? Absolutely not! CAUSE+MEDIC is not only a spa vendor but a spa operator. All of our products are put to the test in our spa before we launch them. We are a true spa company and you will not find our products being sold in random convenience stores or dispensaries. We create avante garde spa treatments that no one else is doing and are loyal to the spa industry.
Finally, it is very important that CBD topicals absorb properly. We have a patented microencapsulation process that avoids the use of toxic chemicals, but also greatly increases the absorption of the CBD. This is extremely important for topicals.
Allison: What has been the most rewarding part of starting this company?
Hugh: The most rewarding part of starting this company is having so many people go out of their way to let me know how our products have impacted their lives or their loved one’s lives for the better. Every day we get a review from someone explaining how their quality of life has improved. Seeing those reviews come in really makes me feel like we are doing something good for the world.
Allison: What is the most important thing you learned from starting CAUSE+MEDIC?
Hugh: Stay humble and don’t forget the days of manufacturing, shipping, and receiving out of my garage. I have seen CEOs of various brands get very arrogant and lose spa customers because of that. I stay true to my roots and I’m not afraid to be the hippie jazz guitar-playing rock climber.
Allison: CAUSE+MEDIC is very involved with the community. What are a few key causes that are important to you?
Hugh: When someone checks out on our website, we make a donation and they get to choose where the donation goes. We have handpicked a few causes that are meaningful to us such as keeping girls in school in Africa, supporting Syrian Refugees, and restoring forests around the world that have been cleared. For more information see how our company gives back!
Allison: You say you don’t believe in anti-aging. Tell us more about that philosophy.
Hugh: We believe aging is a good thing. It means we are growing and evolving and, ahem… living. What we do believe in is aging well and aging healthy. We have spent many years working with various skincare lines and isolating ingredients to find out what works and what doesn’t, and thanks to the new, progressive hemp laws we have been able to incorporate CBD extractions into that hands-on study. Unlike a lot of other products, our line is free of parabens, synthetic dyes, and fragrances. We think we’ve come up with some pretty awesome alternatives to mainstream skincare and are stoked to share our formulas with you.
Allison: How do you think COVID has changed the industry?
Hugh: It has obviously hurt the industry in the short term, but I think in the long run it has been a warning shot to the US on healthy living. Death rates from COVID are 10 times higher in countries where most of the population is overweight. Almost half of the US is diabetic or pre-diabetic right now. I truly believe COVID is going to push us into healthier lifestyles much quicker than anticipated. When people exercise more, there will be more injuries that need massage therapy. Also, when you start to concentrate on healthy living, part of that is relaxation and spas will be there to provide when people need it. I think the spa industry will see very good times once the blowback from COVID-19 has settled.
Allison: What is your favorite CAUSE+MEDIC product? Why and how often do you use it?
Hugh: I probably use the pain cream the most because I always have lingering sports injuries. However, I really love mixing our body butter with coffee body scrub 1:1 to form an exfoliating cream. The combination of the coffee, lavender, and sage smells is amazing!
Allison: You go a million miles a minute...What keeps you going? What motivates you every day?
Hugh: I am extremely fortunate to work in industries that I truly love. I think that something like 70% of the US population is unhappy with their job and I absolutely love what I do every day.
Allison: What is something that may surprise us about you?
Hugh: I love playing gypsy jazz guitar and I hosted (pre-COVID) two large gypsy jazz jams monthly before everything shut down. I think it’s the most fun music in the world to play and listen to!
Allison: What is your favorite spa treatment?
Hugh: Gua sha and cupping with our CBD massage oil and pain cream.
Allison: What do you like to do outside of work?
Hugh: I love playing guitar and rock climbing, both of which I have done since I was around 11 years old. Other than that, I love being outside!
Allison: I’m all about positive quotes...do you have a favorite quote?
Hugh: Some people are content in the midst of deprivation and danger, while others are miserable despite having all the luck in the world. This is not to say that external circumstances do not matter. But it is your mind, rather than circumstances themselves, that determines the quality of your life. Your mind is the basis of everything you experience and of every contribution you make to the lives of others. Given this fact, it makes sense to train it.”
-Sam Harris, Waking Up
Allison: Thank you so much for your time, Hugh. I loved learning about the start of CAUSE+MEDIC and I'm now even more of a supporter of such great products! It is so important to educate and support our Spavia community and so grateful to have an amazing partner like CAUSE+MEDIC.
Hugh: Absolutely Allison! This was so fun and I greatly appreciate your time. I know how busy you are! We absolutely love working with the Spavia family and are so appreciative of all the important wellness work your team provides in so many communities.

April has been recognized as Stress Awareness Month since 1992, but it feels especially important to acknowledge this year. Spavia Day Spa encourages you to take this month to check-in with yourself, take note of how you experience stress and recognize where you carry it. Our specialists at Spavia Day Spa help you to identify your problem areas and target them during your treatment. The most common areas that we carry stress in are the back, neck, shoulders, hips, hands, and feet. Luckily, we have massage and body treatments for them all!
How Do Massages Relieve Stress?
Before we dive into our incredible treatments, it’s important to know why massages help to manage stress. Regular massages can help to rebalance hormones and release muscle tension. When we are stressed, our muscles tend to tighten in response. Our treatments help to release that tension to soothe your body and melt your stress away. Stress is both physical and mental. That is why we’ve created a relaxing and peaceful environment that allows you to rest your mind and reconnect with yourself.
