Burke Williams Introduces New Ayurvedic Treatments!

By Erin

Burke Williams has a new experience to enjoy at their spas, Ayurvedic Treatments. Ayurvedic services are based on a technique that was developed thousands of years ago in India, and focuses on the subtle balance of the mind/body/spirit to achieve healing. The new body treatments are unlike anything else on the service menu, otherworldly and very unique in the market. I was invited to come in and experience this for myself and as I love Burke Williams and trying the latest and newest unique experiences out there, I was super curious to see what it would be like.

The Orange spa is conveniently located just off the 5 and 22 Freeways in The Outlets at Orange. It is a luxurious location that reflects the opulent beauty of a fine Italian Villa. After getting checked in and settled down it was nice to relax by the fireplace in the main lounge and I enjoyed the amenities in the spa while waiting for services.

Over 25 treatment rooms are in this beautiful facility, making it the perfect location for entertaining and offers a second, private lounge for groups. The therapeutic aroma of their signature essential oils wafts through the air. You can help yourself to pitchers of fruit-infused iced water or tea throughout the spa. I love the fruit-infused water they have. Get ready to relax and enjoy! 🙂

As I was waiting for my appointment time, I enjoyed the relaxing and welcoming atmosphere of the spa until my therapist came to get me for my treatment I had come here for. My therapist, Inga came to greet me and take me back to the private treatment room to experience the Ananda service.

Inga told me a little bit more about the practice of Ayurvedic and what the Ananda treatment consists of. Here’s a little bit more information on that if you are just as curious as I am to learn more about it.

Naturally Lindy & Facial Giveaway!

Naturally Lindy & Facial Giveaway!

By Erin

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and do I have a luxurious treat in store for a lucky reader from our friends at Naturally Lindy & Lindy’s Healing Facials. Wether you want to pamper yourself, or another amazing woman in your life, getting a facial is so refreshing and always makes for a perfect gift. I went to see Lindy the other month right before leaving for a press trip and it was just what I needed to relax and rejuvenate.

Lindy’s Healing Facials brings you a deep cleansing and relaxing facial treatment. I went in for the Healing Facial (1 hour/$85) with Lindy. This facial will have any impurities removed from the skin while listening to soothing music in the background.  A careful analysis will be given where lifestyle issues can be addressed, such as diet, allergies, hormones and stress. Pores are gently opened with aromatherapy and warm towels. Dead skin is removed with a light scrub or botanical glycolic peel. Next, impurities, such as blackheads and whiteheads are carefully removed (a bit painful for sure, but well worth the results!)and fresh aloe is immediately applied to assist in healing. A facial mask is applied and energy blocks are removed with hands-on, body balancing, reflexology, cranial work and a chakra balancing and sage blessing to complete the healing experience. After the facial I had, my skin was so soft, smooth and glowing. Not red or irritated at all.

Naturally Lindy

So if you’re still looking for a perfect gift for mom, grandma, or another special woman, consider the gift of a facial or some of the awesome items from Naturally Lindy Skin CareAll products are Paraben-free and never tested on animals. They are also 100% Natural and are made with pure whole leaf aloe vera that they have grown themselves. 

There are very few pampering experiences I enjoy more than a good facial, and this Mother’s Day, that’s exactly what I’m  highlighting at Naturally Lindy. Owned by Lindy Batis-Walsh, a licensed aesthetician and owner of Lindy’s Healing Facials since 1982, facials are just one of the skin care services you’ll find here. She has been featured in several magazines and TV shows and has been chosen “Best Facials in LA” by LA Weekly.

ZOOTOPIA – OFFICER HOPPS -- Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) believes anyone can be anything. Being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn't easy, but Hopps is determined to prove herself. Featuring score by Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino, and an all-new original song, "Try Everything," performed by Grammy® winner Shakira, Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Zootopia" opens in U.S. theaters on March 4, 2016. ©2015 Disney.

Zootopia is running wild across theaters nationwide now, but to truly experience this film in all its glory and and in true animal fashion, you must see (hear and feel) the movie at a Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime!  Movie goers both young and old will love Zootopia as Walt Disney Animation’s 55th animated film takes us back to Disney Animations renaissance of great talking animal films and into an all new animal centered world. I cannot think of a better way to experience this than by visiting a state-of-the-art Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime!

Yesterday I was able to experience this for myself with family and friends, and now we all cannot imagine seeing a movie any other way. Once you go Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime, you won’t want to go back to seeing movies any other way! Seeing Disney’s new movie Zootopia at Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime at the AMC Century City 15 Theater provided the ultimate movie going experience!

Check out the Video Wall!

As we went to enter the theater that Zootopia was showing in, we got to enjoy a very special interactive Zootopia video wall! Here are some of the fun scenes you can find on this video wall!

Next Level Recliner Technology!

They really do take comfort to the next level with these spacious, high-power, reserved recliners that pulsate with the action! I absolutely love that you can reserve your seats! No more worrying about it you’ll be able to all sit together, or if you will be closer to the movie screen than you like as you can reserve your seats as it is assigned seating!

Dolby Cinema AMC Prime CC

The plush, reclining seats are huge and very comfortable! I have never been so comfortable at a theater! Each seat can be controlled easily to the position that makes you most comfortable and the armrests can also fold all the way up if you wish. With just a push of a button the foot rest and recline adjusts to your desired position. You can have your feet up comfortably for the entire movie and lean back without bothering anyone in front of or behind you. The amount of space in each row is amazing, there is even a glass partition in between rows, leaving plenty of room to move around, relax and enjoy the show!
