Nothing sounds more appealing than getting muddy with your mom and winning prizes, right? Well, each Wednesday in May at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa you can do just that!

Bring your mom each Wednesday in May (5/6, 5/13, 5/20, 5/27) and she’ll receive 1/2 price admission to Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa. Then, muddy up and meet us in Club Mud from 2-3 p.m. for your chance to win free grotto treatments & a chance at the grand prize $100 Glen Ivy gift card!

All you need is a swimsuit, a smile and a muddy mom (or any admirable female figure in your life)! Photographs will be sent to you via e-mail and also posted here on the Glen Ivy Blog. We will choose a weekly winner and they will be awarded with complimentary Grotto passes. Once we have four winners, the grand prize winner will be chosen by YOU by voting on the Blog. Voting will start Thursday, May 28th and ends Monday, June 1st, 2009.

So get your MUDDERS ready and remember, “The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.” –E.E. Cummings

Congratulations to Kierre for winning the Grotto Contest! She has won a gift basket as well as complimentary Grotto and Spa Admission passes!

Not only did Kierre and her guest go green, but they also taught me about arid gardens!

Thanks to everyone who shared their green tips with me! I had so much fun going green with you all!

As Kierre would say, “to being green!”

Please feel free to share your green tips here.

It has been so great learning how our guests stay green! I have thrown a few of the guest tips into my back pocket and will be using them in my life! Did you learn anything new?

Thank you to everyone who helped honor Earth Day!

I leave you with this: Take care of the earth and she will take care of you. ~Author Unknown

In honor of Earth Day, Glen Ivy gave every guest a Green Glen Ivy Recyclable Bag; along with the bag was a card letting everyone know about the wonderful green changes that S.E.E.D. has made here at the spa.

S.E.E.D. also put together some plants for Glen Ivy employees to take home and plant in their garden. Can you guess what the plant is? Neither can we!– It’s a S.E.E.D. surprise!

We also had another day of Grotto Go-ers at the spa today! Aly, one of the Grotto girls, got grotto-ed and made her way outside to take photos with our guests. From recycling to banning styrofoam products, Glen Ivy guests know how to GO GREEN!

“I have a recycle bin bigger than ever! I recycle big time!”Flouran and her guest

“I don’t use styrofoam anymore, only vegetable-made

paper products!”

Cammie and her guest

“Ask our sister-in-law!”

We are one day away from Earth Day! Are you ready? We are– Glen Ivy will be giving each guest a Glen Ivy recyclable bag tomorrow (while supplies last)! It can be used for groceries, traveling trips, a fashion statement or, my favorite, SHOPPING!

See you in the GROTTO tomorrow!

“I ALWAYS recycle!”

I will see you all tomorrow– same time, same place. And remember, sometimes you just GOTTA GROTTO! (try saying that 10 times fast!)

We hope everyone is having a stress-free April! Here are a few more stress-reducing tips for you to use in your daily life:

Take a mental break. Sometimes a minute of peace and quiet will do the trick. If you are getting stressed and overwhelmed, stop what you are doing and go outside. Often times a change of scenery will calm you down.

Turn on some tunes. It is said that the right music can lower blood pressure, relax your body and calm your mind. So if your stress level is reaching its high point, find some music that will put you at ease.

Laugh with a friend. Smiling can sometimes make us feel happy and relaxed. So call that friend that you know can put a smile across your face!

Create a mantra. Coming up with a short, positive statement can help you to center yourself. For example, when your life seems to be a catastrophe, saying “I am strong,” ten times might put you at ease.

Read a good book. Putting your mind into an activity as peaceful as reading a good book can help you to reduce your stress level. Grab that book and a nice blanket, and give yourself that much needed 20 minute break!

Hope you all enjoyed these stress-reducing tips! Please share your tips with us– we want to know how you reduce stress in your every day life!

Always remember, take time out of your day … FOR YOU! You deserve it!
