ometimes life throws us for a loop, we stress about finances, children, illnesses, our significant other, pets, etc. You name it and I probably worry about it; I can't help it; it stems from my mother's side of the family. Being in the skin care industry I've realized how important self-care is. Working out, yoga, meditation are all great paths to self-care but I wanted something different, something unique and I found it twice!

The first location I came across was Piva Beer Spa. It was the uniqueness that I longed for, and yes, you read that correctly, beer spa. When I first arrived, I was given a tour and a little history on Halotherapy and Beer Soaks. Before I go any further, I must take this moment to apologize to my mother. When I was a child, my mom would always DIY hair masks, exfoliants etc. and I remember she would add beer to the hair mask. It smelled bad, I was embarrassed, I absolutely hated when she would do this to me once a month, but after knowing the benefits as an adult, I thank you mom and sorry for all the fuss.
