Published: Nov. 13, 2019, 11:36 p.m.
Duration: 30 minutes 36 seconds

Spa Resorts - Luxury Spa Resort Getaways, Hotel Retreat Vacations - Golden Door

Thanksgiving is like 10 days away! Yikes. Let\'s whip up a turkey free Thanksgiving spa fish recipe with the Golden Door\\u2019s Head Chef Curtis Cooke*: \\xa0Pan Seared Kala Snapper with Thai Vegetable\\xa0and Red Curry Chowder. \\xa0And it serves 12 - 14 folks if you\'ve got company coming! Yum!

*chef at the time of this taping

Cook along with us! \\xa0Recorded live in the kitchen of the world famous Golden Door Spa. He\\u2019ll even show klutzy me how to rock a knife!

In fact, he shared so many great tips that we will be cooking dessert as part two of this series in a few weeks.

Candy

Chills. \\xa0That\\u2019s the only way to describe walking through the Golden Doors (yes they actually exist), across the bridge and onto the grounds of the\\xa0Golden Door Spa\\xa0in Escondido, California. \\xa0A place where Hollywood goes to unwind and a place I have fantasized about since I was a child. \\xa0Yes here I was where stars like Barbara Streisand have been!

And the food! You\'d never guess it\'s healthy it\'s so delish. They even have a cookbook, click the image below and check it on Amazon:

Grab these ingredients, turn on the audio and let\'s get cooking: \\xa0(note the recipe Serves 12-14 and is perfect for a crowd but cut ingredients in half if you\\u2019re cooking for a smaller crew!)

3 Large filets of Kala Snapper, (Escolar, Butter Fish or Tuna work well, whatever is freshest)
2 inch knob of ginger, peeled and sliced into 4 pieces
1 TB minced garlic
1 TB minced lemongrass (use coffee grinder to mince)
2 Kaffir lime leaves
1 TB chili garlic sauce
2 TB plain tomato sauce
3 TB fish sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
2 ea 13 oz cans unsweetened light coconut milk
2 C chicken stock
1 large potato, peeled and medium diced
1 yam, peeled, cut in half and sliced into \\xbd moons
1 zucchini, quartered and sliced
2 C green beans, cut in half
2 ea carrots, peel and sliced into rounds
1 red bell pepper, medium diced
3 TB fresh Basil, chopped

Lightly mist a large sauce pot and heat over a medium-high flame. Add the ginger, lemon grass and garlic and saut\\xe9 until they begin to release their scents, 3-4 minutes.
Add in the chili sauce, fish sauce, cumin, tomato sauce, lime leaves, coconut milk, stock, potato and yam. Stir to incorporate. Cover with a lid and simmer for 35 minutes.
Remove the slices of ginger and lime leaves from the pan. Add in all the remaining vegetables. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes or until the curry has thickened and all the vegetables are cooked. Throw in basil at the last minute.

Note:\\xa0Garnish with lime wedge.

I Need a Nap: How to Kip for Health & Beauty (No Nap or Sleep Pod Spa Needed)

Published: Nov. 7, 2019, 1:29 a.m.
Duration: 12 minutes 27 seconds

Just in time for the clocks to fall back, when our sleep is interrupted - we\'ve got a virtual spa nap for you. Yes, napping spas are a thing (aka nap bars, nap lounges, nap cafes) and more companies are offering sleep or nap pods and cabins for employees) but since we all don\'t have one - let\'s create a virtual nap spa at your office.

Listen on the bar at the bottom of the post.

We\'ve got some tips to help you nap like a pro - excerpted from our interview with visionary & spa founder Nicolas Ronco. Who rejuvenated himself following sleep deprivation on a trip abroad, using naps and reflexology. Including:

why we are prehistorically programmed to nap for 20 to 40 mins between noon and 3pm daily
achieving the ideal position "zero gravity" when you\'re in the office
how to create your napping nest with\\xa0Aromatherapy, music and textiles
how a nap can help you be more rested and productive. \\xa0

Yelo NYC

Did y\'all know Salvador Dali practiced micro naps? He would fall asleep with a key in his hand above a plate, when he reached max slumber and dropped the key, the sound of it hitting the plate would awaken him!

Candy Holladay

How artist and jewelry designer Salvador Dali napped.

Pull up a pillow and blanket, this episode is definitely not driving listening! But hey why not take it along on a plane. Meanwhile, a few spas where you can take a nap to inspire you:

Faire la Sieste nap spa in Paris

Pop & Rest London

Spa Le La Los Angeles, California

mahikamano Tokyo

Fashion for Freezing: What to Wear to Spa Cryotherapy Treatments

Published: Oct. 29, 2019, 1:20 a.m.
Duration: 5 minutes 54 seconds

Candy, what do you wear when you do Cryotherapy?

Tia K., Listener

Hey Tia and y\'all! Today\'s episode is our first Style Byte on Life\'s a Holladay. These are bite sized episodes where I put my fashion stylist spin on spa treatments, healthy living ideas and workout wear.

As promised, here\'s a Style Byte with outfit and accessory ideas for cryotherapy.

Get the skinny on these fun vintage and modern cryotherapy outfit pieces below (we appreciate clicks on the affiliate links below it helps us bring you MORE episodes no cost to you)

Spa Along! Electric Cryotherapy at 111Cryo Spa in London: Rejuvenate like Derek Hough & Mandy Moore

Duration: 13 minutes 42 seconds

Try Electric Cryotherapy with me at 111Cryo Spa in Harvey Nichols London as I overcome claustrophobia to rejuvenate like an athlete. \\xa0Plus, the benefits of cryotherapy, the differences between American and British cryotherapy and the skincare spa twist at 111Cryo. \\xa0 \\xa0

Founder 111Cryo and 111Skin

Cryotherapy at a spa in one of my fave stores in the world - followed by a good deal of gawking at the gorgeous fashion in Harvey Nichols! Made even better by the fact that 111Cryo is the ideal spot for cryo newbies like me.

The fab Nick helping me with my headband.

The entire experience feels luxurious, with special touches like your therapist leading you in exercise whilst in the chamber (perf for scaredy cat me) and 111Skin face & body serum for after. Also, the electric chamber which is like a foggy shower (how London right?) is my preferred cryo chamber.

111Skin - Developed to address the rapid aging of astronauts

To emulate the cryotherapy effect when you can\'t get to the spa
Try 111Skin Body Serum all over your body for a cooling restorative skin treat

Spa with Me: Move a Mountain Massage at Body Wisdom & Discover a Secret Spot to Relax TMJ & Neck Knots Every Day

Published: July 22, 2019, 5:11 a.m.
Duration: 11 minutes 41 seconds

This week we\'re having massage therapy that energizes and relaxes, while helping TMJ toothaches. Plus a self massage technique for headaches, computer neck stiffness and more. And a spa daycation in Chattanooga!

Body Wisdom is nestled at the foot of Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, TN. Buddha\'s words below greet you on Body Wisdom\'s website, but they truly capture the essence of Body Wisdom\'s location & offerings which are therapeutic.

Even their building, in the St. Elmo Historic District, has a cool urban, natural, calm, befitting its mountain view, it\'s 110 years old and has a history of health, having once been the St. Elmo Drug Store.

TO KEEP THE BODY IN GOOD HEALTH IS A DUTY, OTHERWISE WE SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR MIND STRONG AND CLEAR.\\xa0~BUDDHA

I opted for an hour therapeutic massage with Wynne D. the owner and it was one of the best massages I\'ve ever had! She is certified in neuromuscular therapy, which I sought as I was having pain in my jaw from stress.

She even showed me a self-massage technique for helping ease TMJ symptoms - which she explains how to find and work in this episode. Just make the money sign to loosen the spot! It would make a great stress reliever for any of us who sit at a desk many hours a day at the office.

As you listen to the episode, you\'ll note I had trouble finding the sternocleidomastoid so here\'s a tip: tilt your head to the right, then place your left hand on the right side of your neck behind your ear, and you\'ll feel a muscle that runs diagonal to the front of the neck, you\'ve found it!

The Body Wisdom Mascot!

But one treatment I can\'t wait to go back and try is the Sinus Ayruvedic Massage which helps clear sinus passages - if you\'re looking for a way to soothe your allergies this is it!

Why not make it a day? Body Wisdom is next to the Incline, so you can take a ride up the mountain, take a gorgeous hike at Point Park and then come back for a relaxing massage and dinner, 1885 is a yummy restaurant I highly recommend it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=96&v=hCLKvMDuuCQ

PS This week is Everybody Deserves a Massage Week (but shouldn\'t every week be?) so get out there and take care of you! If you\'d like to relax with another of our virtual massages, check out our apres trade show decompression one at Four Seasons Vegas episode here. xo Candy
