Thinking Pink

Think Pink Bahrain has a simple objective: increasing awareness and educating the public on the importance of early detection and saving more lives. Education, as we all know, is the first line of breast cancer prevention.

This year, the Think Pink campaign began on 1 October 2010 and continues to run until the end of the month. The campaign aligns with 'World Wide Breast Cancer Awareness Month' and its message to the masses is 'i check'.

Why i check? 
Well, realistically, women can often shy away from the idea of breast cancer. Even if they are aware of it, they can often be nervous, or scared, to take any positive steps in prevention of the disease.

The 'i check' movement encourages women to stand side by side and raise their hands in acknowledgement of breast cancer, boldly stating that ''i check''. The campaign more than anything highlights solidarity, strength and unity amongst women, as well as creating a better understanding.

How is The Mobile Spa ''thinking pink''? 
The Mobile Spa was founded by two entrepreneurial Bahraini women, Deena Al Ansari and Souha Sawan. Breast cancer awareness then becomes an issue of immediate importance and The Mobile Spa has dedicated its services to an upcoming fund raiser, taking place on Thursday 28th October at Tilly's Cafe.

The Mobile Spa will also be giving away prizes at the Think Pink Gala Dinner on Friday 29th October.

We encourage you all to come along! Click here for more details on Thursday's event and always remember to ''think pink''!

Your manicure & pedicure's best friend.

Feel like the ultimate boost in your mani/pedi experience? Well, meet paraffin, a natural mix of extracts fused together to offer powerful cellular protection and fight the signs of ageing.

Made up of green and white tea, grape seed extract, cranberry, lingonberry, goji berry and blueberry, The Mobile Spa's paraffin is particularly special for the following reasons:

- Protects hands and feet against ageing and sun damage, while softening, soothing and nourishing the skin.
- The first and only disposable paraffin solution which guarantees 100% hygiene.
- Diffuses lavender aromatherapy as an ideal treatment for relaxing and calming the mind and body.

Just incase you were wondering...
All elements used to heat the paraffin are non-toxic materials, a continuation of The Mobile Spa's dedication to using the best in available beauty products, naturally, hygienically, and in terms of overall safety and quality.

Leave the stone age behind...onto the shell.

The Mobile Spa's signature treatment is the Lava Shells massage, a revolutionary form of massage moving away from the stone and onto the shell. Here's a brief explanation on this new and groundbreaking product, available only at The Mobile Spa:

The Shell
For hundreds of years, South Pacific islanders have been harvesting beautiful tiger striped clams for food purposes, while throwing the shells away.  

Now, these shells have been turned into the world’s most powerful (and natural) heated massage tool. When filled with LavaGel, the shell heats itself for over an hour, giving you the same relaxingly warm effect as that of a full hot stone massage using only two shells - no electricity or additional equipment is needed.

And what's LavaGel?
The ''LavaCharge'' consists of a LavaGel sachet and a Lava Activator. The sachet is placed inside the shell, and the activator is poured in. In five minutes, the shell is ready to use. The charge is made of natural minerals and absorptive powders including dried kelp and sea algae. So, away you go, enjoy the heat - the natural way.

Salon wars, no more!

24 hours away from Eid and as standard, the salons are rife with competing women, desperate to finalise their beautifying touch-ups in the run up to the celebrations. How. Annoying.

Wouldn't it be ideal if the treatments were timely? Personal, more comfortable, less people. Wouldn't it just be a dream if the salon came to you, in your own home, without need for fighting your way through the heat and scores of other people?

Dream, no more. The Mobile Spa can and will deliver all the services you need directly to you. We're even open on the first day of Eid (Friday 10 September 2010), so book your morning appointments now and kick off your holidays fresh and gorgeous!

Make it an even happier Eid :-)

Citibank & The Mobile Spa announce special offers on beauty packages

Back in July, The Mobile Spa founders, Deena Al Ansari and Souha Sawan were invited to speak at a special Citibank function for a select number of the bank's clientele.

As leaders in the field of hygiene, Deena and Souha enlightened guests on the current state of Bahrain's beauty industry, sanitation in salons and the utmost importance in good sterilisation.

With The Mobile Spa's exclusive use of the autoclave (a sterilisation device used by hospitals and dental clinics) Deena and Souha's own business is testament to their belief in first class hygiene. 

July's event was such a success that Deena & Souha were soon invited to participate at a second seminar in August. 

''Insurance in first class hygiene is not a privilege, but a right'' said Deena, ''our clients have the absolute right to the best in hygiene standards and we guarantee that this is delivered in every area of our servicing''. ''Many women aren't aware of the differences between sanitising and sterilising'' continued Souha. ''We want The Mobile Spa's use of the autoclave, disposable and single use equipment to not only ensure optimum hygiene standards, but to educate our clients and women across Bahrain on its importance''.

A full article on salon safety, as written by The Mobile Spa founders, can be found here.

For those unable to attend the July and August events, The Mobile Spa has also issued a number of special offers to all Citibank credit card holders across the Kingdom.

What are the benefits behind a good massage?

Plenty...

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
• Relieve migraine pain.

A Powerful Ally
Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your overall healthcare regime.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance provided my massage can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massages frequently can do even more. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled ''self-care'' can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massages feel like a pampering treat, doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic.
