Experiences that bring Cal-a-Vie Health Spa alive
Faces of We celebrated our 8th annual Mom & Teen Week with celebrity teen host Ryan Newman, the current star of Nickelodeon’s “See Dad Run.” Moms and teens enjoyed fireside chats with Ryan, a scavenger hunt, fashion show, and even performed in a friendly lip sync competition. Cal-a-Vie’s Mom & Teen Week allows mothers and daughters to bond, pamper and mingle with up-and-coming young celebrities while enjoying the spa’s health and wellness program. 2016 will feature two mom/daughter events geared to teens and college daughters. Our Antique Boutique hosted the "Million Dollar Decorator" star Kathryn M. Ireland for Designer Day for designers and their clients. The event included property tours, shopping, and a presentation by Kathryn over a delectable lunch in L’Orangerie. The ongoing program was created in response to popular requests from guests looking to bring a piece of Cal-a-Vie’s original French Provencal décor home with them through exclusive access to our spectacular array of 18th and 19th century pieces imported direct from France. During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Cal-a-Vie Health Spa donned a new hue – pink! Guests were invited to write the name of loved ones affected by breast cancer on pink ribbons to be tied around the Cal-a-Vie gates and painted rocks pink to add to the calming Labyrinth. Across the property, touches of pink embellished the spa. Cal-a-Vie vans were outfitted with the signature pink ribbon, pink roses graced dining room tables and pink fruit water was served in the lobby. A pink ribbon pin adorned all guests’ arrival gift bags and pink turndown cards appeared nightly on pillows. As part of Cal-a-Vie’s commitment to lifelong wellness, the campaign focused on healing, education, and honoring those impacted by the disease. Phyllis T ayl
In recognition of their loyal support, the several special guests (pictured right) were honored as new members of La Société de L’Orangerie during their recent visit. Each honoree was toasted by our staff at an orange tree dedication ceremony with a permanent personalized plaque placed on "their" tree in our Orange Grove. Additionally, each will receive a complimentary spa treatment during a future visit. M a r t y S pr i nz

NUTRITION & CUISINE
Health and Wellness News and Recipe
Spaghetti Squash Kimchi by May Tom - MPH, RD Kimchi is a classic Korean dish made from fermenting vegetables with an array of pungent spices and seasonings. When we eat fermented foods, probiotics or "good bacteria" travel into our lower intestines and thrive there. These good bacteria keep our immune system healthy, facilitate detoxification and make essential nutrients such as Vitamin K2, a vitamin essential for bone health, and B vitamins, which are crucial for metabolism. Studies have found that the health of our microbiome, i.e. the bacterial colony in the gut, may impact behavior, gene expression, blood sugar and even body weight. This variation of kimchi is inspired by the spaghetti squash that is grown in our garden. One cup of spaghetti squash has 40 calories that are packed with nutrition. Spaghetti squash contains powerful antioxidants including beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamins A and C, which help fight free radical damage in the body. Like other starchy vegetables, spaghetti squash is a great source of fiber, which keeps us full and helps us eliminate waste, including excess cholesterol and estrogen from the body. Have fun making our seasonal, "Cal-a-Vie style" kimchi and enjoy all the health benefits, too!
INGREDIENTS KIMCHI SQUASH • 3 lbs Spaghetti squash • 1 tbsp sea salt
KIMCHI SPICE • 2 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced • 1 tbsp ginger, grated • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp garlic, finely minced • 1 tsp Serrano pepper, thinly sliced • 1 tbsp Togarashi seasoning • 1 tbsp water • 1 tbsp +1 tsp unrefined cane sugar
RICE PANCAKE • 2 tsp olive oil • 2 eggs • ½ cup rice flour • 1 tsp salt • ½ cup ice water • ½ cup green beans, sliced
DIRECTIONS Peel, seed and chop each squash into ½” pieces and coat with salt in mixing bowl. Massage until squash is shrunken to half its size. Press and let sit for 1-2 hours. Add water if liquid does not cover when pressed. Mix all together in a bowl to make a paste. Drain the squash in a strainer and let sit to allow excess water to drain. Add squash back to the bowl and mixed thoroughly with the kimchi spice. Press kimchi with a water weight so that there is an inch of liquid rising over it and let ferment for a week in a dry place.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Add the flour and salt and whisk to combine. Add the vegetables and ice water. Mix to combine. Spray a small pan with olive oil spray. Place the pan over medium heat. Add ¼ cup of the batter and cook until it’s lightly crispy. Flip the pancake over and continue to cook for another minute. Remove from the pan. Repeat this process until all of the batter is gone.

HEALTH & FITNESS
Make your workout more effective by following some of the latest tips for burning calories!
Cal-a-Vie Health Spa is now offering all aspects of The MELT Method® (MELT®), a groundbreaking neurofascial treatment program designed to reduce chronic pain. Our expansive Fitness Program continues to set the standard in destination spas, offering the most leading-edge fitness programs with the recent certification of our own Lola Cervantes as a Level 1 MELT instructor. “With 7 to 9 fitness offerings an hour, our guests work out hard, and MELT allows for recovery so they can fully benefit from the comprehensive program. In addition to the spa offerings, MELT allows us to alleviate issues that may hinder guests from working out to the fullest,” commented Leslie White, Cal-a-Vie's Fitness Director for 17 years. Created by New York City manual therapist and connective tissue specialist Sue Hitzman, MELT is a self-treatment technique aimed at reducing chronic pain. Studies show 10 minutes of MELT three times per week can help drastically reduce years of accumulated tension and stress caused by daily living. MELT teaches the body to heal itself, creating remarkable lifelong benefits, including greater energy throughout the day, a better range of motion, improved sleep, posture and body awareness, and reductions in stress and tension. Continuing its commitment to lifelong whole-body wellness, Cal-a-Vie Health Spa is pleased to offer the complete MELT program. Guests will learn how to use body weight, a soft body roller and four small balls to help rehydrate connective tissue, restore space to compressed joints and balance the nervous system. After one session, guests will feel a difference in their body and, over time, MELT can also help alleviate issues such as headaches, hand, foot, back and neck pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and insomnia. You can purchase a MELT Hand and Foot Kit from the Boutique website to reap the treatment’s benefits long after you depart the spa’s gates.
"Cal-a-Vie is a perfect opportunity to hold a mirror up and evaluate life - style habits one may want to change while surrounded by a beautiful, nurturing environment filled with knowledge to take home to implement those changes." - Loren Hill
