How to have a Relaxing Christmas…

December 15, 2020 by w b

At Woman Beauty in Nelson love to help you relax. In the run-up to Christmas, we’ll be helping many of you prepare for the season. Our space will help you find the space you need before the festivities begin. As most regulars will know, our team takes an annual break over Christmas. After working hard all year, we think everybody deserves to be able to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. But, even though we’ll be closed between Christmas Day and 5th January, we’re still dedicated to your relaxation. So, we thought we’d share three ways to help you have a relaxing Christmas. Read on for our top tips:

How to have a Relaxing Christmas…

Find some space:

This year, more than ever, we can feel truly thankful that in our little piece of paradise, we can spend time with friends and family. Especially when so many people around the world can’t. But, it’s still important to find time for yourself. So, don’t feel guilty about stepping away from the festivities, even if it’s just for half an hour. Take a stroll in the beautiful Nelson sunshine, find a quiet spot in the garden or enjoy the peace and quiet of your bedroom. Finding some calm amongst the Christmas cheer is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

Hold on to your rituals:

Whether you have a houseful of guests or you’re heading to a gracious host, the holidays generally mean that daily routines tend to change. But, it’s important to remember to hold on to some of your rituals. If your morning run sets you up for the day, then find the time to pull on your training shoes and do it. If your evening meditation helps you sleep better, then be sure not to sacrifice a peaceful night’s rest.

Take a break beforehand:

And that’s where we come in… If you don’t already have an appointment booked we still have a few spaces available. Even if you don’t have oodles of time, we can help you have a relaxing Christmas. You’d be amazed how good you’ll feel after a neck, back and shoulder massage or Heavenly Head Massage, and you simply need to set aside thirty-minutes.

Relaxing Spa Treatments – Nelson

August 12, 2020 by w b

This Saturday, 15th August is our day! Yes, it’s official ‘Relaxation Day‘… A day that, as you can imagine, we fully embrace at Woman in Nelson. Now, you may choose to mark the day by taking an extra hour in bed or enjoy time out curled up on the sofa. You might even enjoy a gentle walk or a solo trip to the movies. But, if you have no plans, we can help! Read on for inspiration, we’re sharing three of our favourite relaxing spa treatments and the reasons we ❤️ them!

Relaxing Spa Treatments at Woman in Nelson:

Ultimate Indulgence

Our Ultimate Indulgence relaxing spa treatment is all about… Well… Indulgence! You begin with a foot soak and sugar scrub exfoliation followed by a full body massage. This treatment wouldn’t be complete without our relaxing Spa Facial.

Why we ❤️ it: This treatment really allows you (and, if you like, a friend… Yes, you can buy this treatment for two) to relax and drift away with the special blends of the Pacific.

Buy yours HERE.

Head To Toe Reviver

With this relaxing spa treatment, you enjoy a neck back and shoulder massage. After your massage, it’s time for a Spa Facial before finishing off with a Tropical Spa Pedicure.

Why we ❤️ it: We love this treatment because it does exactly what it says on the packet. You receive head to toe attention from our highly-skilled therapists. After just over two-hours you’ll leave our Nelson Spa feeling totally revived.

A Fiji Holiday (Pure Fiji)

A half-day of relaxation. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual, enjoy a crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil then the application of luxurious body butter. While you are cocooned, you’ll enjoy a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil.

Why we ❤️ it: It’s literally a holiday that’s steps away from your Nelson home! There’s none of the stress associated with domestic airline travel or long road-trips.

View our full range of relaxing spa treatments here. And if you don’t have time for a full spa treatment there are so many other ways we can help you enjoy ‘Relaxation Day’. A massage or facial are great options for when you need to take time out but don’t have the luxury of actual time!

Warm up with a Nelson spa treatment

June 16, 2020 by w b

Well, winter has officially arrived. While it somehow doesn’t seem fair that we’ve emerged from lockdown and winter is here, it does give you the perfect excuse to warm up with a Nelson spa treatment. And at Woman, we can even help you escape to a tropical island!

In this week’s blog, we thought we’d share three of our popular treatments to help you relax and warm up!

Warm up with a Nelson spa treatment:

Island Wrap:

Perfect if your skin is feeling that transitional seasonal dryness. This treatment hydrates dry skin leaving the body with a beautiful “island glow”. We’ll gently dry brush your skin and apply warmed tropical oil. After this, we’ll wrap your body with hot stones while a warm oil scalp massage relieves tension hydrating the skin and detoxifying the system. You will leave with your mind renewed and your body restored. Buy yours HERE.

A Fiji Holiday (Pure Fiji):

Can’t fly away for your usual Island break? Let us transport you there. Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual, enjoy crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil then be painted with body butter, wrapped up while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure then enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. Buy yours HERE.

Honey Melt:

Our much-loved Honey Melt is the perfect winter warmer! You’ll enjoy a coconut and honey body treatment, including a full-body exfoliation and application of coconut milk and honey masque, then a neck back and shoulder massage and a heavenly head massage. Finish off with a power facial.

But it just gets better… This Woman Beauty Nelson spa treatment is currently available on GrabOne with a saving of $84! Grab yours HERE.

If none of these Woman Beauty Nelson spa treatments takes your fancy, give us a call. Let us find the perfect winter-warming treat for you or a special gift for a loved one.

Aromastone – Hot Stone Massage Benefits

August 22, 2019 by w b

One of our most popular massage treatments at Woman Beauty in Nelson is our Aromastone hot stone massage. It’s a blissful head to toe spa treatment incorporating hot stones and essential oils.

But there’s more to this massage than relaxation. In this week’s post we thought we’d share some of the benefits you can expect from hot stone massage.

Three Benefits of Aromastone Hot Stone Massage

You can wave bye-bye to muscular pain:

Whenever you have a nagging, aching muscular pain, we don’t doubt that you’re tempted to pull out a wheat bag or hot water bottle. That’s because heat can help increase blood flow to a specific area and help muscles to relax. If you are suffering from aches due to overexertion, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia or any other non-inflammatory muscle pain, then the Aromastone Massage might just be your new best friend!

You can say ‘Sayonara’ to stress:

While any massage should reduce anxiety and help you relax. The comforting warmth of an Aromastone hot stone massage is particularly beneficial if you’re feeling stressed. There is no doubt that your brain will interpret a safe source of heat as reassuring and pleasant. In turn, this psychological reaction will help to switch off your fight or flight response, lowering your stress levels.

You can welcome sleep:

Sleep plays a vital role in your overall good health. Adequate sleep is essential in maintaining your body’s ability to function; just like eating, drinking and breathing. So if you’re finding it difficult to come by, you need to take steps. Again, any massage therapy will help to promote relaxation and sleep, but an Aromastone hot stone massage could be particularly beneficial. There’s a strong psychological link between being warm and being cosy. When we say goodnight to our babies and children, we will often swaddle them and reassure them that they’ll feel as snug as a bug in a rug because there is a link between cosiness and settling for sleep. Combine the warmth of our Aromastone hot stone massage with the calming effect of the essential oils, and we believe you’re pretty much guaranteed a good night’s rest!

How to relax in Nelson

15th August marks a significant date on the International calendar… It’s Relaxation Day!

As you can imagine, at Woman Beauty in Nelson we’re delighted that there’s a day dedicated to relaxation, but we believe that you should be able to relax far more frequently than once every twelve months! To that end, we’ve decided to share five ways that you can relax in Nelson at any time of year!

How to relax in Nelson.

The fragrance of flowers – We’re blessed with our beautiful reserves and parks in Nelson, and you will always find something in bloom to satisfy the senses. When was the last time you took a wander through Queens Gardens or Miyazu Gardens? Pop it on your relaxation register!
Smell the coffee – If there’s one thing we’re not short of in Nelson, it’s delightful coffee shops. The simple smell of coffee can help reduce stress hormones, but we prefer to drink it! #loveyourlocalcoffeeshop
Head to the beach – Being close to the water has always been considered a perfect way to find calmness and clarity. You don’t need to venture too far from the city to find yourself a quiet spot at the beach.
Enjoy some exercise – Pick your pastime and get those endorphins pumping. From swimming to SUP, and biking to trail running, there’s a huge adventure playground on our doorstep.
Walk into Woman Beauty – Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquillity and calm. So book a massage or spa treatment and discover what it feels like to be truly relaxed!

Spa treatments to warm up your Nelson winter

July 3, 2018 by w b

At Woman Beauty we believe that nothing compares to a relaxing treatment to warm up your winter. Step through our doors on a dismal day in Nelson, and we’re certain you’ll feel immediately cocooned and quietly comforted. So, in this week’s blog article, we’re sharing some of our most popular spa treatments to add some warmth to your week!

Five spa treatments to give you the warm fuzzies…

Massage starts with Mmmmm:
A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment utilises hot stones. Buy yours here. Or relax and drift away with the special blends of the Pacific with the Full Body Island Massage. You can choose whether you drift off for sixty or ninety minutes. Buy yours here.
Wrap up warm:
The Pure Fiji Island Wrap hydrates your dry skin so you will benefit from a beautiful “island glow”. To begin with, your skin is gently dry brushed and warmed tropical oil is generously applied. Your body is wrapped with hot stones while a warm oil scalp massage releases tension hydrating the skin and detoxifying the system. You will leave with your mind renewed and your body restored. Buy yours here.
Indulge yourself:
At the end of a cold winter’s day, it’s tempting to relax in a warm bath. We don’t think you should have to wait until the end of the day! Instead, indulge in a hydrotherapy bath at Woman Beauty Nelson. After this, you’ll receive a full body massage, before finishing with a spa facial and taking time out in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.
Escape to the tropics:
Spa treatments can be like a mini break! Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual. After this enjoy a crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil. You will then be painted with body butter, and cocooned while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure. After this enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.
Do it with a friend 😉:
Enjoy our seasonal special this winter! This Couple Retreat is designed to be enjoyed with your partner or bestie. We’ll start you off with a warm foot soak using Pure Fiji bath soak. This is followed by a sugar scrub and a relaxing full body massage. Buy yours here; the special price is for two people.

Beauty treatments in Nelson – Winter’s most wanted!

May 30, 2018 by w b

Winter is here and with that comes the desire to rug up and enter hibernation mode. For some, that means an excuse to ease up on essential body maintenance, although that’s not a course we’d recommend… If you let that fuzz run free as temperatures freeze, you’ll find it harder to take back control in springtime. In honour of cooler temperatures, we thought we’d share some of winter’s most wanted beauty treatments.

Let’s get warmed up – A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment uses hot stones and essential oils. Buy yours here.
Saving face – Your skin receives no let-up from the harsh UV rays over winter, especially in beautiful Nelson where we still have bright sunny days during the cooler months. Add to this the drying effect of wind and the lack of humidity, and your skin can become dry, red, irritated, and lacklustre. Facials are popular beauty treatments all year round, but if you want to feel like you’ve managed a winter escape, try the Pure Fiji Island Facial. We’ll take you on a journey with an ancient blend of powerful plant actives and exotic drift nut oils combined with the latest in dermatological revelations, producing phenomenal targeted facial care solutions. Buy yours here.
Get your glow on – Heading to a special mid-winter event in your cocktail frock? Then make sure your skin shimmers with a Sunescape Spray Tan. This beautiful natural looking tan has no harmful chemicals and is available in light, medium and dark. Spray tans are great winter beauty treatments for a quick pick me up! Buy yours here.
Who’s looking at you baby – If you’re wrapped in merino from torso to toes… Make your peepers work for you! Our eyebrow and eyelash tinting and taming services are a great way to help frame your face. These beauty treatments are a must all year round! Buy yours here. Ask us to help you select your new Jane Iredale mineral makeup for eyes. The autumn and winter range is stunning, we can make your eyes pop with beautiful colours, or we can show you how to create sultry smoky eyes.
