Hello, Halotherapy! What You Need to Know About Salt Spas

You may have seen some ads for salt spas popping up in your area recently. Today I’m sharing all you need to know before a visit and am giving you a sneak peak into my experience at Salty, a fantastic new spa in Northeast Ohio. Be sure to check out the special discount offer inside!

What’s Halotherapy

Halotherapy is an alternative treatment that involves breathing in salty air. It can assist in the treatment of respiratory and skin conditions (allergies, COPD, psoriasis, eczema). While using salt as a form of treatment has been around for millennia (think back to ancient Egyptians & Greeks), the first mention of salt spas appeared in the 12th century, referencing a site in Poland.

Unleash Your Inner Ninja at Play: CLE

Earlier this month I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a media night for Play: CLE in Avon, OH. As a devout American Ninja Warrior fan, there was no way I could pass up the opportunity for this unique workout. The management team was gracious enough to allow us to bring some friends/family with us so I rounded up two of my more adventurous friends and we got fully out of our comfort zones!

Suzanne Bowen BarreAmped DVD Series Review

You may recall this post from two years ago that shared my first experiences working out via DVD. At that time, I had just completed the P90X3 series with the goal of jump starting my strength training and was moving on to maintenance mode with my first Suzanne Bowen DVD, BarreAmped Boot Camp.

Just like that, my inner ballerina was unleashed and I’ve since added two additional Suzanne Bowen DVD’s to my lineup. As the BarreAmped series has proven to have some staying power, it seemed like a good time for an update review!
