Contest: Lady Orchid Spa Facial and WAVE Session

Royal Treatment at Lady Orchids Rejuvenating Day Spa

Lady Orchids Spa recently opened in September and is located on West Broadway at Manitoba Street. There is free street parking on West 8th Avenue behind the spa. The Spa has 4 rooms for skin care and body treatments, where they pay special attention to client service needs. Your skin will be carefully analyzed and the esthetician will discuss and recommend key ingredients in products that you should use. The spa also carries exclusive products, including Orogold, which contains 24K gold.

I was pleased to experience their POSH Signature Facial ($60), which is a one hour treatment consisting of regular cleansing and exfoliating with European France Laure products. The special facial mask is mixed prior to application and peels off, leaving your skin soft and firm. You will also receive a relaxing Euro massage during your facial, which allows for complete rejuvenation in an hour.

Lady Orchids Spa also uses state of the art technology for treatments, including Up5 and WAVE. The Up5 machine from Korea utilizes massage to relax facial muscles by simulating blood circulation and removes toxic substances from the skin. The WAVE Whole-body Advanced Vibration Exercise is used with conventional exercises to involuntarily contract and relax muscles 20-50 times per second, multiplying the effect of every move. WAVE was developed and designed by a group of doctors, therapists, and health professionals, where 15 minutes of vibration exercise is similar to 1 hour of normal exercise.

Burgoo is a word used to describe different types of stew – from several meats and veggies cooked for hours. Burgoo is where you can’t go wrong, because the food is simply comforting. From a light lunch or dinner with combinations of soup, salads,and sandwiches, to classic stews with biscuits and macaroni and cheese. They have a single menu that offers half portions for lunch or early dinners. They currently have three locations (Mount Pleasant, Point Grey and North Vancouver) and they offer take-out.
