Every spa nowadays offers many kinds of massages – everything from Swedish massage to Lymphatic massage, all tailored to yield very specific results. Deep tissue massage becomes increasingly popular due to its ability to release an enormous amount of tension.Deep tissue massage is effective because of its technique – consisting of slower, stronger massage that stimulates deep into muscles. In many cases, a deep tissue massage has replaced the classic Swedish massage because it relaxes like Swedish and it also stimulates, conditions, and heals.

Those suffering from particular conditions may also find deep tissue massage to be rather therapeutic. Sufferers of chronic pain, fibromyalgia, edema, muscle cramping, and even carpal tunnel syndrome may receive significant relief from deep tissue massage. The pressure exerted on different groups of muscle tissue stimulates circulation in areas of pain. Primary benefits of deep tissue massage as reported by most people include reduction of stress and pain. Improvement of circulation and the purging of toxins aid the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Deep tissue massage, however, is something you need to become used to. There can be mild to moderate discomfort during the massage as tight muscles are worked. And there can be a day or two of soreness following the deep tissue massage. In a sense, this kind of massage is like a workout for your body.

Tip: Before and after deep tissue massage, drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins that can be released from your muscles and lymphatic system during the massage.

I love all-natural hair colors because there are no smell, no ammonia, no alcohol, less peroxide, and 100% grey cover.

Herbatint is a natural permanent hair coloring gel. It is formulated from herb extracts and proteins. Due to its unique composition without ammonia, Herbatint permanently colors hair without damage. Herbatint has natural translucent property to enhance hair’s healthy shine. And the best thing: Herbatint is available is 30 rich shades!

Here are some tips about how to…

… lighten your hair. You can lighten natural hair by one or two shades on brown or chestnut hair and two to three shades on light chestnut or blond hair. If your hair was previously tinted, you can lighten them by two tones.

… color bleached hair. Use reddish colors, otherwise you might get green shine in your hair. Bleached hair is always more porous, so the color need less time to process.

… color permed hair. Do not color your hair after a perm – wait 2 weeks. Shorten color development time by 10 minutes.

… color henna treated hair. Wait not less than one one month after henna application to use hair color.

… color grey hair. Herbatint website suggests that if you want to use their ash, golden, copper, or mahogany mix your color of choice with a color from the natural range in equal parts. Do not mix together two shades of the golden range.

As always,

Mary

I am back from my short 6 day-vacation in Germany. I have been to Germany many times. This time I have managed to stay 2 days in Celle – the town situated in the Lower Saxony, which is in the northern part of Germany. Celle is very charming. The buildings in the old town center date back to the 16th century.

While being in Celle I was told that the Castle Celle is the most impressive building in the town. As for me, I thought that the most impressive building  was the Fürstenhof Hotel.  The hotel truly impressed me. Everything was great: the building, the service, and the room.

The area surrounding Celle is called the Lueneburg Heath. It is one of Germany’s most unique landscapes and is Europe’s largest expanse of heather covered moorland. After a long walk there, relaxing massage at the hotel’s spa or a hot shower with German
Nivea Massage Beauty Cream Oil Shower Gel 250 ml is what would make anyone blissfully happy.

Celle is one of the most beautiful places that are also great for a wedding celebration. Celle has everything: the castle with the park, the beautiful old town and the Fürstenhof Hotel. Another major attraction is the Town Church (1308). All of these buildings are in the very close proximity to one another. I have also seen a shop with the traditional German and modern 3-tire wedding cakes in the window.

All in all, Celle is a great destination for either a beautiful wedding or a relaxing weekend.
