Where can one go when they want to relax and have fun? The Spa! Almost everyone visits a spa once when on vacation or when they need to relax. Spas have a lot of benefits that are great for the mind, body, and well-being of people.

Spas are establishments that offer a variety of services aimed at promoting health, relaxation, and well-being. They typically provide treatments such as massages, facials, body scrubs, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, manicures, pedicures, and other beauty and wellness services. Spas can range from small, local day spas to large, luxurious resort spas. Choose whichever makes you feel more comfortable!

People go to spas for various reasons, including:

Relaxation: Spa treatments are designed to help individuals relax and de-stress. Massages, in particular, can help release tension in muscles and promote a sense of calm, especially on vacations where people finally get off of school and work.

Physical Health Benefits: Many spa treatments offer physical health benefits. For example, massages can improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce pain. Hydrotherapy treatments, such as hot tubs or saunas, can soothe sore muscles and joints. Trust me, if you ever want to relax, and good soak is the way to go!

Mental and Emotional Well-being: Spa visits can have positive effects on mental and emotional well-being. The relaxing atmosphere, soothing music, and aromatherapy scents can help individuals unwind and improve their mood.

Pampering and Self-Indulgence: Spa treatments provide an opportunity for individuals to pamper themselves and indulge in self-care. Whether it’s a luxurious massage, a rejuvenating facial, or a relaxing soak in a hot tub, spa visits allow people to treat themselves.

Beauty and Skin Care: Many spas offer beauty treatments such as facials, manicures, and pedicures. These services can help improve the appearance of the skin, nails, and hair, boosting confidence and self-esteem. It’s a win-win! Getting beauty treatment and coming out looking good while you laze around in freedom.

Socialization: Spas can also be social spaces where people gather to relax and unwind together. Some spas offer group packages or facilities such as relaxation lounges or saunas where friends or couples can enjoy treatments together. If you ever wonder where to go with friends for plans, a spa is a good option, especially for girls.

Overall, people go to spas to take a break from their busy lives, relax their bodies and minds, and rejuvenate their overall well-being. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a regular self-care routine, or simply to treat oneself, spa visits offer a range of benefits for physical, mental, and emotional health.

Simone Ispahani

Founder of Social Brew

Simone Ispahani became acquainted with the world at an early age having grown up in Colorado, the Netherlands, Australia and Hawaii. Simone eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she attended Biola University, graduating with a degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminal Justice and a minor in Biblical Studies. Being biracial and growing up around a diverse array of cultures, Simone was gifted with a unique understanding of the world and a deep seeded desire to help humanity. In college, she first learned about the issue of human trafficking when an expert speaker on modern day slavery challenged her to join the fight. With a newfound perspective, she started to learn as much as she could about the issue eventually leading her to launch Social Brew in October of 2021. Social Brew is an e-commerce coffee company which donates 50% of profits between two non-profit partners to aid in the fight against human trafficking. Simone’s greatest hope for Social Brew is to cultivate a community that creates a place where trafficking victims are seen, known, loved, and given practical tools that help them take back their lives. In her free time, Simone enjoys sipping coffee at one of her favorite local spots in Santa Monica. She also likes hanging out with her senior dog, Max, painting, baking to feed her sweet tooth, listening to vintage vinyl recordings, and spending time with family and friends.

Austen Brantley

Self-Taught Sculptor

Austen Brantley is a self-taught sculptor from Detroit, Michigan. He discovered his affinity for sculpting during his junior year at Berkley High School. There, Brantley was inspired and encouraged by his ceramics teacher, who saw Austen’s talent for molding beauty from the clay. After only two years, Brantley began receiving local and statewide recognition. Seeking to hone his craft, Austen has proudly worked as a full-time professional artist since 2014. His work has been presented across the country in numerous solo and group exhibitions including two upcoming 2024 shows: Wounds, solo show at M Contemporary, Detroit, MI (August/September); and TBD two-person exhibition at Indy Art Center, Indianapolis, IN (September/December). As Brantley continues to live and work in Detroit, he has dedicated his career to creating a legacy for future generations. An essential step toward this goal has been his public commissions, including his most recent bronze unveiling: a memorial commemorating the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II for the Office of the City of Detroit. At the same time, Austen completed a larger-than-life design for the new Freedom Monument Sculpture Park at the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. He is the recipient of multiple awards, including the prestigious Kresge Arts Fellowship in Detroit last year. Austen aims to provide young people with the opportunity to see themselves reflected in art while also subverting the stereotype of toxic Blackness. A powerful representation of the resilience and strength, each artwork and exhibition hopes to reflect shared experience and challenges his onlookers to seek peace, honor, and excellence.
