Eat cake pops, drink W.I.G. (Women’s International Group) wine and be merry at Lakewood, Calif.’s Studio Cie Wellness Spa was the theme for the spa‘s first-ever “Happy Hour” event that took place on April 22. Attendees were treated with complimentary mini treatments such as hand facials to chair and scalp massages.

Since the spa is all about promoting health and well-being, Toni Carner, certified massage therapist, gave attendees a sample of her other specialty in“reiki.“ Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administer by “laying of the hands” and spiritually guided life force of energy. The word reiki is made of two Japanese works – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy.” Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. “I’ve never done this type of treatment before but I felt that a weight of my stress and worries were lifted off me. Somewhat like a spiritual cleanse,” said a spa attendee.

Other than the mini spa treatments, makeup touch ups and air brush tattoos were also part of the happy hour event. Ali Mendivil, support staffer was in charge of beautifully airbrushing various tattoos from flowers, hearts, stars, and for the few men in attendance, she had dragons, skulls, bulls, etc.

Alongside CakedLA, other special guests included Geschenk Gourmet Cookies, The W.I.G. Foundation who brought award-winning wines for guests to sample and Mercedes Benz of Long Beach who donated a Mercedes Benz Watch for one lucky attendee to win during the raffle. The spa had over 60 attendees and was a great success. The next event is scheduled for July 18. For more information about Studio Cie Wellness Spa , visit: www.studiociewellnessspa.com
