Elements Massage Costa Mesa turns One!

The other day my friends over at LatinaGeeks invited me to attend a birthday celebration. Elements Massage in Costa Mesa was turning one and they were celebrating. I was excited to finally get a chance to learn first hand about their services. Several of my friends had already recommended their services to me. I was now going to find out first hand how wonderful their services are for relieving stress.

My car-pooler for the evening was fellow blogger Wendy from Over the Top Mommy. We both were super excited to have an evening of friendly conversation and a massage. When we arrived we were greeted with friendly faces and a gift bag. The bag was from My Fit Foods and is made to store both hot or cold foods. Inside were several goodies from AlernaVites, Lebrisa Designs and SkinAgain. The staff handed us a ticket for a raffle along with a time for a mini massage! The best part, the local community was also invited to attend this birthday celebration, which made for a fun evening of meeting new people.

Walking into their space, we found yummy food from My Fit Foods and drinks from Clean Cocktails as well as fun jewelry by Lebrisa Designs. The place was full of energy with happy people. People would go in carrying stress to meet their masseuse and come out standing taller and much happier. It was very apparent that a good massage will change a person. You could see stress just melt away after their mini massages. I could see it in their appearance and their speech.

Relaxed

The combination of food, jewelry and a massage is something that is very relaxing. This is where there was trouble for me. It was so relaxing that all of my pictures taken are blurry. I apparently was a little too relaxed and comfortable.

After my experience at Elements Massage, I know first hand that a massage is necessary for the body to feel rested and stress free. Next time you feel like you need to feel stress free, I suggest that you get a massage. They do walk-ins and there are coupon offers online. I wish you a happy stress free year. May all your dreams come true. Namaste.

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area. This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement. She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me. Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test." Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this: Dea

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer. The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard. I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".
