EXPERIENCE "THE WINE" AT KELOWNA'S VIBRANT VINE !!


Just last weekend - on Easter Sunday - we've had a chance to visit one of Kelowna's wineries - The Vibrant Vine.
Although I am wine lover and visited few wineries there already - for some reason I haven't had a chance to hear about that place-well, until last week (thanks to the power of social media!)
And as to be honest - it was one wonderful experience and learn more about The Vibrant Vine.

Entrance to The Vibrant Vine


The Vibrant Vine is BC's Most Artfully Entertaining Winery & home to "The Best White Wine in the World" awarded at the 2013 World Wine Competition in Geneva, Switzerland. If you want to discover ART | WINE | MUSIC at one place - this is THE place for sure!
The Vibrant Vine is home to the world's only 3D-art tasting room and our winery experience is truly like no other. 

Amazing art wall...



Tasting time:-)



“Experience it LIVE at The Vibrant Vine!” -it's the motto of the winery as

GETTING READY FOR SPRING WITH SKIN THERAPY AT BABOR BEAUTY SPA IN CALGARY!!!



With the Spring season approaching - I am always trying to get ready when it comes to my skin.
I noticed, that many women - especially in dry Calgary - forget that it is that time of a year (we have March now) to pay more attention to the proper skincare. After each Winter it is recommended to get rid of that thick layer of dry skin - and prepare it for beautiful Spring and Summer season!


Just this past week - I had a pleasure to try one from the list of face treatments at one of my favourite SPA's in Alberta - Babor Beauty Spa located in beautiful Mission area, in Calgary.
After consultation with one of the aestheticians who works there - we've decided that the best facial for me would be Vital Detox Therapy from Doctor Babor treatments.

Babor Beauty Spa waiting (and relaxing) area

As many of you know, skin detoxification is essential for cellular regeneration. This blend of potent vitamins and minerals treats the skin and neutralize harmful substances that induce aging from the inside out. The resulting detoxification allows nutrient revitalization which is vital for maintaining youthful skin.
Because my skin really needed deep cleansing as well - we've started the procedure with 30% peel that helped get rid of the dead skin cells and also helped deeper penetration of the ingredients from the products applied into the skin followed by the regular steps of Vital Detox Therapy treatment!
This facial takes about 50 min - but if you add peel and manual cleansing - you should reserve about 1.5 hour of your time - to make sure you will relax and won't be rushed (like I was a little bit because of my baby!).
My skin felt amazing right after the treatment - it was definitely more brighter and had beautiful glow - which I really need - especially now when I wake up few times at night to feed my baby:-)
If you would like to maintaing the results at home - you can think of getting certain skincare products from recommended Babor line!!
Special Thank You to Helene and her team for making my time at Babor Beauty Spa always a remarkable experience!!
Stay tuned - as I will be featuring different skincare treatment each season!!

Special Gift I've received from Babor Beauty Spa!
Cant wait to test them!

MY POSTNATAL JUICE THERAPY WITH THE JUICE SHOP/CALGARY !!!



Those of you, who were following my prenatal journey know, that I've tried to stay healthy during my whole pregnancy. I've learned that education is a key and information can change our perspective on different things.

After having my first beautiful baby boy Olivier (that was just 7 weeks ago) I knew I would really like to get back in shape as soon as I can. For me though it is a bigger picture - it is about inside and out!
Beside started going to the gym and hot yoga again - I also wanted to make sure that I nourish my body properly.And here comes The Juice Shop !

Few weeks ago, I've had a chance to connect with the store owner - Paola Correa - and together we've brainstorm an idea of featuring my juicing journey!
So, last week I've received my first set of juices that I have been drinking every day and...good surprise for those of you who think you wouldn't like them - they taste amazing. Of course, depending on what kind of juice you choose - you will get different flavours - but they are fresh, energizing and definitely - boosting your mood ( and this is exactly what I need right now with my hormonal changes:-)

I was truly inspired after meeting with the store owner - Paola - who shared with me her story with juices and how they saved life of her loved ones ( her uncle had fight with prostate cancer, metastasis in the bones and he won the battle!).

"At The Juice Shop, we believe strongly in the age-old adage of: “WE ARE WHAT WE EAT”. I began making cold-press juice for myself and my family as a positive lifestyle change, and I started seeing the benefits on all those around me. I then wanted to share these great benefits, which inspired me to create The Juice Shop, a place to provide people a delicious, organic, raw, cold-pressed juice, and contribute to helping one live a "green" and health-conscious lifestyle", says Paola.



The Juice Shop offers selection of cold-pressed, organic juices. Depending on your preferences & purpose of your juicing - in the menu you would find 13 different juices, 2 Warrior Milks, The Waters (Master Cleanse & Chlorophyll H2O) and Shots Elixir! 
Each juice provides different vitamins and plays unique role! One of my favourite is definitely "Unbeetable" - made from beets, carrots, apple, celery, cilantro, parsley and lemon. It is store's signature cocktail that promotes detoxification, beets and carrots are great for liver detoxification, parsley purifies the blood, aids with digestion and helps you detoxify.



Many of us ask question "Why juicing?" -well, it is a part of a lifestyle, it is a healthy way to get all your vitamins and minerals that your body needs for the day, the benefits of juicing are the keys to giving you a radiant, energetic life, and truly optimal health. Juice provides an excellent way for us to absorb vitamins and minerals, which is even superior to eating whole vegetables, because juicing releases theses nutrients in a highly absordable form and these nutrients both protect us from disease and boost our health and vitality.
At the end - you will experience increased energy, stamina, and mental clarity!!



 What is great about the store - juices are freshly made every day from Monday through Thursday - and you can get your juice either at the store or you can order online!!!
(for more information about delivery&shipping - you can check here).


Follow me on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook)-as I am sharing my juicing experience every day, featuring different juices!!
Stay tuned to see the results of my therapy!!
