Networking at ISpa

A buffet of delicious, scrumptious foods was presented to us when we entered the First Time Attendee Welcome Session; not only that, but another bag full of spa products and other goodies. Before the presenters began they pointed out the puzzle stress balls laid out on the tables. An awesome opportunity to network, the facilitator [...]

Silent Auction and Massage

When we had come back from breakfast we met Chef, Dana, Brooke, Lauren, Alissa, and Jounice and went into the networking and silent auction room. I began to list my name on several items throughout the exhibit. I put a bid on a basket of spa products for my mom, an IPod shuffle, a spa [...]

5am Wake Up for ISpa

Hattie and I woke up this morning at 5am to be in Orlando for the ISpa convention by 10am. I was already pretty much packed because I went to conference this weekend, but I needed to pack a little more because I was flying out of Orlando on Wednesday to fly home to Boston. We [...]

Its a Bad Week

This week couldn’t get any worst. I have come to the point where I have pushed my friends aside and have really needed time alone. It isn’t often that I get this stressed. I think some of my friends have gotten upset with me, but if they are my true friends they will understand.

Mid Term

So I have a mid term in 2 hours and I haven’t studied. I really never study for tests especially for the classes that are in my major. I am in my element. I have never really been as excited as this semester to go to class. My mid term is in purchasing. The math [...]

Spa Cuisine Class

I walk into Spa Cuisine class to the laughter of everyone looking at my hat. Chef requires everyone in cooking class to wear a Lynn University sponsored hat only. I was dressed in uniform, chef coat, pants, and a LU sponsored hat. Everyone else was wearing a baseball cap, but I was wearing a beanie [...]
