WEEK AT THE SANDY SPA

Monday

On Monday, we started our day with a little yoga and got to know one another. We launched into our topic of the day which was skin health and healthy cosmetic products. The girls made foot scrubs and lip scrubs, before we made our way to the beach. 

Tuesday 

On Tuesday we warmed up our bodies with a little Tai Chi. Our lesson of the day was nutrition. We made guacamole and infused cucumber and lemon water. We also made our own hand sanitizer and played a mystery essential oil game. And of course we made our way down to the beach!

Wednesday 

Wednesday was friendship day!!! This day was all about focusing on healthy relationships. Our exercise of the day was creating a dance routine with friends (which was the birth of the Firecracker Dance Group). The girls did hair, face masks, friendship bracelets, and nails. 

Thursday

Thursday focused completely on the 7 Chakras. The girls learned the different chakras and had a chakra candle ceremony where they reflected on what chakras they felt successful in and what chakras they would like to work on. They got to pass around crystals, stones, and essential oils that corresponded with their chakras. As an exercise, we did a guided meditation to exercise the mind. At the beach, the girls got a Taro Card reading. 

Friday

After opening our day with a boot camp to get the body moving, the girls reviewed all they had learned this week. For our final crafts, the girls made bath bombs and soaps before partaking in water balloon wars!!!! After lunch, we headed out for the beach one last time.
