Mika Does Relaxation and Swedish Massages…

The main purpose of a relaxation massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood & release toxins from the muscles. This in turn stimulates the skin and nervous system while soothing the nerves. It also reduces emotional and physical stress and is suggested regularly for managing stress. Massage is beneficial to soothing your aches and pains in your back, neck, shoulders, calves, glutes, arms and hands and will leave you feel invigorated!  

I use various scented and non-scented oils and/or creams that suit your specific needs for an all over relaxing experience to leave your mind at ease and improve your well being. Scented candles or incense can be lit for added comfort for those hectic days.

Prices:

$35 – 30 min Back and Shoulders Massage

$50 – 45 min Full Body Massage

$60 – 60 min Full Body Massage

The setting was a busy West End sidewalk on a sunny summer day in Vancouver…. The stunning model was Kortney Krystik… The photographer, talented David Dolsen… Who else?
This was a whole day of makeup, modelling and shooting… With 3 different looks.

The first makeup look that I applied on Kortney started off light and natural, with a focus on her beautiful brown eyes. I applied long cluster false eyelashes on top of her natural lashes, and topped it off with a couple coats of Benefit’s BADGal Lash mascara to help blend them in. This created the “Girl the Next Door” look and was shot by David at a well know art piece at English Bay…

The second makeup look that I applied was a very dark smoky eye; the crease consisting mainly of MAC’s Print eyeshadow, then MAC’s Goldmine eyeshadow on the inner corners and brow bone. This created the “Mysterious Beauty” look and was shot by David in a West End apartment…

And finally the last makeup look consisted of MAC’s Ruby Woo Lipstick to add some fiery red hot lips to create Kortney’s “Bad Girl” feel. This look was shot by David on the busy sidewalks of Denman Street in Vancouver’s West End.

It was a long and fantastic day. Thanks to Kortney and David!

Recently Jay and I went to rent double bicycles at Spokes located on the corner of Denman and Georgia which is at the entrance of Vancouver’s Stanley Park, and the Seawall. Spokes is the biggest and longest running (since 1938) bike rental that Vancouver has… Check out their website http://www.vancouverbikerental.com, or give them a call 604.688.5141 if you want to enjoy your day with the best selection of bikes Vancouver has to offer!

We had so much fun riding the double bikes along the seawall, although it wasn’t the most beautiful of days, weather wise…
