The Westin Jackson Announces its Luxury, Resort-Style Soul Spa

Wischermann Partners, Inc. is thrilled to announce today the spa concept for The Westin Jackson, opening early August 2017 in the heart of downtown Jackson. Soul Spa, The Westin Jackson’s newest luxurious spa and the only spa ESPA provider in the state of Mississippi, will offer guests and locals an extensive array of services and amenities including massages, facials, body treatments and nail services upon opening.

“Soul Spa is the perfect combination of a thoughtful, resort-concept design in an ultra-urban setting,” says Mike Burton, general manager of The Westin Jackson. “This new element of The Westin Jackson will be another highly sought-after destination in Jackson for relaxation and wellness, and we are excited to share Soul Spa with the community and our guests.”

An oasis of beauty and tranquility, Soul Spa will offer guests the highest quality services within a modern and sophisticated urban setting.  Soul Spa will consist of seven treatment rooms, manicure and pedicure stations adjacent to the reception area, sauna, experience showers and an outdoor courtyard with a whirlpool.  The spa is partnered with United Kingdom-based ESPA to carry their premier product line, and is the only ESPA provider in Mississippi. ESPA has pioneered the science of natural beauty in a potent collection of radically effective formulations featuring products derived from essential oils, plant extracts and marine actives at the hands of highly trained professionals.

“We are delighted to be opening Jackson’s newest downtown oasis, Soul Spa,” said Paul Wischermann, President and CEO of Wischermann Partners, Inc. “Whether you are looking to indulge in a full spa day experience, or are in need of a quick service in between meetings, Soul Spa’s world-class service caters to the needs of Jackson visitors and locals.”

Guests and locals can deeply unwind with the ultimate 110-minute stress-relieving Signature Body treatment, featuring a full body exfoliation, facial cleanse and individually tailored massage with warm aromatherapy oils. The EPIC Life-Stage Facial allows guests to turn back years in just 80 minutes as the results-driven facial instantly works to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, restores elasticity and returns skin to a more youthful appearance. This ESPA signature facial includes the exclusive SkinVision™ UV lamp analysis, deep-brush cleanse, Skin Radiance Mask, contouring facial massage techniques, Lifting & Smoothing Mask, scalp massage, and Life-Stage intensive serums and moisturizers. Couples can find the perfect way to escape in Soul Spa’s exclusive couple’s room for the Signature Couples treatment. After enjoying the sauna or outdoor whirlpool, couples can melt away tension with body brushing and exfoliation to first smooth and soften skin, followed by an indulgent massage using nourishing essential oils and warmed volcanic stones, and finished with a comforting scalp massage and gentle stretching.

Light food and beverage fare will be available in the relaxation room and outdoor courtyard during spa operating hours and will focus on fresh, healthy and revitalizing foods along with a daily selection of fruit smoothies. A selection of champagne and wine will also be available for those guests looking to relax with an alcoholic beverage including bachelorette parties, couple’s treatments and festive weekend getaways.

Memorial Day Beauty Must-Haves

Any patriotic holiday is a free pass for wearing red lipstick by the pool. Take full advantage of the occasion with Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipstick in Gladiola ($29, Arbonne.com). This lipstick is infused with watermelon fruit extract which helps provide immediate, long-term moisture while imparting a plumping effect to give the appearance of full, lush lips.

  • When the forecast calls for major humidity, you need a power product such as The Mane Choice Pink Lemonade & Coconut Super Anti-Oxidant & Texture Beautifier Curl Boosting Sherbet($14.99, TheManeChoice.com and Walmart). Formulated to boost curls and fight frizz, the cream defines and shapes your tresses leaving long-lasting shine.

Spring Travel Tips for Home and Abroad

Whether people have been cooped up indoors while it snowed all winter or they were able to take the chilly temperatures with just a sweater, spring is a time of renewal. It’s a time of the year when people want to break out of the routine they have been stuck in for months and get away. This spring, millions of people will be traveling domestically, as well as abroad. The difference in surviving and thriving on that trip has a lot to do with the planning and preparing before ever heading out the door.

“Once you plan wisely for a trip you know all the difference that it makes and you will forever want to continue with it,” explains expert traveler Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of travel wellness company Savvy Travelers. “Planning ahead means that you are more prepared to help keep yourself healthy and comfortable, no matter where you may be traveling to. That’s always a good thing.”

Here are spring travel tips that people can use when traveling domestically and abroad:

  • When traveling internationally, inquire about vaccinations, and contact the local health department about a month before the trip. This way, they can determine if any special health measures should be taken or cautionary advice is needed.
  • Inquire with your insurance company about traveling to get the details you may need on using insurance during a vacation, especially if you will be traveling outside the country.
  • Take standard necessities with you, rather than trying to find them when you arrive. Items such as sunscreen, bug spray, toiletries and cleansing wipes are easy to pack and carry, and will bring comfort during travel and once reaching the destination.
  • Aim to pack light, rather than over pack. When you over pack it will become a burden to carry luggage around. Also, packing light gives you a little wiggle room for purchasing things on the trip to take home.
  • Travel prepared with cleansing wipes. You can go poolside with your designer wipes by your side or stash them in your beach bag. They will easily allow you to refresh a sweaty body with No Sweat wipes, get the chlorine or salty sea off with Take Offz, and remove the sand that got on your phone or on your sunglasses with In the Klear wipes.
  • Looking great is easier when you are prepared, even down to your fingernails. Chipped a nail on day three? Lift Offz to the rescue. They can be carried in your purse or bag and within seconds will remove the polish.
  • Sometimes we need a vacation from our vacation because we packed so much in on our trip. But the worst thing is to have to use all your sick days after your fabulous vacation, so stay healthy this spring break with Klean Upz and Offz by your side.
  • Stay fresh and healthy when traveling by keeping individually wrapped wipes on hand. They can be used for sweat, killing germs, freshening breath, or cleaning off things that seem a tad too dirty to touch. From wiping down airplane tray tables to hotel room remote controls, spending seconds to do that and removing germs can save days worth of being ill.

“We know what it’s like to travel and need ways to help keep us comfortable and healthy,” added Aldatz. “That’s why we created our line of designer wipes. They are easy to carry, individually wrapped, and help make you ready for anything and everything that comes your way.”

Savvy Travelers offers a Beauty Bundle Kit, which offers individually wrapped makeup removing wipes, mouth cleaning wipes, and antiperspirant wipes. Users can sign up for a bundle subscription kit that offers a three-month supply of wipes. All Savvy Traveler wipes are convenient, individually wrapped, biodegradable, compostable, and cruelty free.

Those who sign up for the Savvy Travelers’ subscription service, called “Wipeaholics,” receive a personal stash of their designer beauty wipes each and every month, delivered right to their mailbox. This includes 30 must-have wipes, including five of each of their core products: Klean Upz moisturizing hand and body wipes, Klean Offz sanitizing surface wipes, Take Offz facial wipes, No Sweat antiperspirant wipes, In the Klear lens and screen cleaner wipes, and the Speak Eazy mouth and teeth wipes. Wipes users, or “wipeaholics,” never have to worry about running out of wipes and trying to get to the right store to get more. They will be delivered each month, helping people to simply replenish their stock.

Savvy Travelers offers a no-rinse line of products that help to keep travelers healthy and lend a convenient collection of problem solvers for beauty and wellness needs. They are all TSA friendly, so they can easily go on airplanes. Savvy Travelers designer beauty wipes are curated for the “on-the-go” sophisticated savvy travelista! No water?
