Top 5: Creative Manicures

Posted in Zorgvliet Spa, tagged , , , , , , , , on February 18, 2013 | Leave a Comment »


It seems like creativity has taken over in terms of manicures the past few months. From nails painted to look like watermelons to manicures that resemble Movember – we’ve seen it all!

Here are, according to the RiverBlogger, the top 5 creative manicures:

1. Short square nails with rounded corners painted with a dark colour like rich burgundy or midnight blue. Play around with some texture like in the picture below:

2. For something refreshing, try colours like white and other bright colours or even a soft gold.

3. The classic French manicure has undergone major modifications and the current trend is much more dramatic than the previously subtle manicure. To create this new trend, keep the base of your nails a neutral, muted colour and edge them off with any colour like dark red or even silver. Why not try the below manicure for Valentine’s Day?

4. Bold nails are very popular these days, meaning that colours like metallic or a mixture of blue and red are some of the top sellers. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colour, texture and prints.

5. Polka dots are currently also very popular for manicures. Usually painted in black and white, other colours make just as good a statement.

Top 3: Detox Options

Posted in Zorgvliet Spa, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on January 3, 2013 | Leave a Comment »


Detox options might come in handy after Christmas and New Year have passed and therefore RiverBlogger has come up with the top 3 detox options for this year. Brace yourselves!

Sweat therapy

Sweat therapy

Detox 1:

Sweat therapy – With the skin being the body’s largest organ, we not only cool down when we sweat, but we also get rid of excess toxins in our bodies. Therefore a sauna is one of the top detox options to choose. Exercising is an alternative to a sauna, which make this the next best option.

Visit Zorgvliet Spa for more information on their sauna options here: Zorgvliet Spa 

Lymphatic massage

Lymphatic massage

Detox 2:

Lymphatic massage – This promotes lymph flow and helps move stagnant energy which stimulates the immune and nervous systems. Note that this type of massage should be avoided when you have a heart condition or if you are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.

Detox 3:

Mud Therapy – Yes, I suppose playing in the mud will also do, but not many of us have that privilege. Therefore, you could always go for a full-body mud or clay-wrap. During this treatment negatively charged molecules draw the positively charged toxins out through the skin pores. This treatment is not recommended for pregnant women or claustrophobics. Visit Zorgvliet Spa for their popular Theravine Purifying Clay Wrap or the Theravine Recharging Clay Wrap.

  • Try out the Six Hands Lava Stone Massage at the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa in Maui, Hawaii. This massage will cost you $450 – the equivalent of R3910.00.

Do you know the average spend on spa treatments in South Africa?

According to statistics the average spend on spa treatments, including Swedish massages, head rubs, reflexology and body wraps, can reach up to R620.00 per service.

It is interesting to see how a healthier lifestyle has become an increased priority in many South Africans’ lives. The current buzz words in South Africa’s spa industry are “hands and feet” and “hot and cold”. Current buzz treatments:

Teen and family spa environments are an increasing trend in the spa industry, as well as culinary spa experiences like Zorgvliet Spa’s offerings of two course meals together with a spa treatment. Clearly people still spend on luxuries.

Other interesting facts on the average spend on spa treatments:

  • The average spa spenders are over 45 years of age, married, with children.
  • Even though more women than men spend money on spa treatments and products, the men who were surveyed by the International Spa Association did so more often.
  • The major reason for spa visits is to redeem gift certificates and this spend goes towards treatments like massage therapies, facial treatments, manicures, pedicures and hydrotherapy.
