Green Tip of the Month

Sustainable Investments

Looking to green your spa, but worried about the expenses?

Our upcoming Green Scene ("Mayan Marvel," August 2010) contains lots of information about cost-efficient ways to incorporate eco-friendly supplies into your spa.

Heres a taste to get you started:

Make investments that have a proven return.
John Vater, co-owner of Spa Adriana in Huntington, New York, says, "solar panels pay off, as long as you continue using them to save on energy costs."

Shop locally.
When Vater and his wife Adriana recently remodeled their spa, they wanted to enrich their Mayan theme by building a faade with limestone from the Yuctan Peninsula in Mexico. Instead, they found a local company that manufactures precut concrete. "That way our renovation doesn't have the environmental impact that would result from shipping and trucking materials all that distance," John says. "It saves a lot of money too."

What supplies, products and materials do you employ to increase your spa's sustainability? Send your ideas to Katie O'Reilly, associate editor, at koreilly@creativeage.com.

Hello, Dolly

babydollOver the recent holiday season, Sanítas Skincare and a number of spas near its Denver headquarters collected dolls for children in need. The beneficiary was Dolls for Daughters, a charity founded by Jennifer Bachus in 2007 after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn. In tribute, Bachus collects dolls each holiday season for area shelters such as Samaritan House, Denver Children’s Home, The Gathering Place and SafeHouse Denver.

“It’s important during the holidays to remember the less fortunate, especially children. Seeing their little faces light up and helping to bring some happiness to their lives is so rewarding,” says Lisa M. Crary, CEO of Sanítas. “We were delighted to support Dolls for Daughters and provide 150 dolls to Denver-area children in need. We look forward to being able to donate even more dolls next holiday season.”

Sanítas accepted doll donations at its Training Institute, as well as through Simply Moore, Urban Escape Day Spa, The Retreat Specialty Skincare, Beau Visage Skin Care & Spa and Accent Beauty Unisex Skincare Salon. Each donor received a Sanítas skincare product as a thank-you.
