August is Admit You’re Happy Month.  That means you need to make an extra effort to enjoy the last month of summer! Part of what makes us happy is spending extra time with family and friends.

To kick off the month, we have National Girlfriends Day (Aug. 1st) and Friendship Day (Aug. 6th). There’s no better way to share happiness than to visit a spa with someone you love and care for. We have an exciting month planned for you!

We invite you to check out this E-zine! It’s filled with great treatment options and products to help you stay safe this summer and look your very best!

We wish you a happy and safe August from all of us here at Alta Spa!

As we get older, we obviously don’t literally live by, “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.”

So, it’s important to look happy and be happy. National Smile Week is in Week 2, after National Girlfriends Day (Aug. 1) and Friendship Day (Aug. 6) on the calendar. With it being back to school time, it’s extra important to share and create happy memories with family and friends before life gets a little busier.

You’ve heard the saying, “You use more muscles to frown than to smile.” Technically, that’s not true.

Scientific studies show a small smile uses about 10 muscles vs. a small frown requires roughly six muscles. The numbers are closer with normal smiles (12 muscles) vs. normal frowns (11 muscles). But frowns require more effort because we generally don’t (and should not try to) use those muscles frequently.

Thus, it’s easier to smile! We don’t look so miserable either. What can make us happier or get us smiling?

1. The Spa Experience. Whether it’s a massage or a pedicure, this month is a great time to reserve some special outings with those close to you. A massage is very relaxing. It will soothe your body, reduce joint pain and anxiety, minimize back pain and promote flexibility. A pedicure will help keep your toenails healthy and you can have fun playing footsies. Reserving an outing with family and friends promotes healthy conversations and extra laughs, which means more smiles!

2. Exercise Your Body. Try a 30-minute walk or anything that gets you moving. Make it something you enjoy.

3. Exercise Your Brain. Read a book, play chess or a board game, or solve crosswords.

4. Get Enough Sleep. Try to get 8 hours each night. Fit in a nap. Be smart.

5. Eat Right. A healthy and balanced diet is crucial. Focus on variety, portions and consumption to help maintain weight.

6. Drink Right. Scale back or eliminate caffeine to reduce weight. Limit alcohol. Drink water. Flavor it if necessary.

7. Laugh More. Listen to a comedy show, exchange jokes with your friends or act silly.

Make visiting the spa part of your lifestyle! Reduce your stress and be happy!!
