Vida Spa –My Rejuvenator by Jane Cassie Over the years, while partaking in my favourite pastime of spa-ing I’ve had the pleasure of being pampered and massaged with lots of wonderful products. But never have I walked away feeling so rejuvenated as I have from Vida Spa. Even the name of this blissful sanctuary implies health and wellness. Stemming from the root word, Ayurvedic, it carries the belief that we’re all composed of the earth’s five natural elements; space, air, fire, water and earth. Although our constitutions vary, by uncovering our true ‘Dosha’ these sensational treatments can be tailor-made to suit our individual needs. Are you Vata, Pitta, Kapha or Tri-Dosha? During your visit to any of one of the Vida spas you’ll discover which one. Everything from preferences and personality to hair coloring and food cravings are assessed to determine your type.  During my recent visit to the Vida Spa at Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle I discover that I’m a true Kapha, the earthy type. And after I was slathered in lathered with these fabulous treatments, I just had take a couple home.
K-balance Ayurvedic Facial Blend Oil – Just a little bit of this magical serum goes a long way. We have a summer place in BC’s arid Cariboo country and when the weather goes dries, so does my aging skin. Two drops of this elixir certainly resolved the problem. It stands to reason. With ingredients like rosehip seed, carrot tissue, evening primrose, calendula & vitamin and essential oils, how can you go wrong? $26.00 (30ml) Kapha Ayurvedic Body Cream –And why should pampering be confined to the most obvious place; my face? With this amazing emollient I can get the all-over treatment. Basil, eucalyptus, ginger, juniper berry & rosemary are the essential oils found in this precious product and its application has become one of my favourite daily routines. $24.00 (100ml) or go for the savings: 250 ml only $42.00  A wide selection of massage oil, body cream, face & body mist, facial blend oil, travel roll-on and body & bath oil are also sold on a retail basis and all are available in each Dosha.
