The Raven Spa Santa Monica Review

Beauty


Massage and Organic Facial Treatments 


As a busy lifestyle influencer, social media strategist and mom of four teenagers all born within a year including triplets plus one, stress is my all too frequent companion. Admittedly, I needed this pampering session badly and was really looking forward to it.

MBE partnered with Spa Week and The Raven for this post

I've had massages and facials before, however this was my first visit to The Raven Spa, a Traditional Thai Massage and Day Spa in Santa Monica, California. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised how fast thoughts of my every day chaotic life escaped my mind.

From the moment I walked in the door, smelled the incense burning, heard the water fountain bubbling and was warmly greeted by the owner Barry, I sensed this experience was going to be indulgent, like none other I had ever had before. I was about to find out how The Raven Spa lives up to their motto, "Let us take you far, far away."

A feeling of serenity and peace increased with each step as I quietly climbed the stairs to the spa's loft space. Here, the dimly lit treatment rooms aren't divided by walls but by hanging fabric walls and each individual space is furnished with distressed furniture creating a relaxing Bohemian Pirates of the Caribbean ambiance. 

 A burning candle beside the massage table completes the rustic, restful feeling.

The Raven Custom Massage

First I was treated to The Raven Custom Massage by massage therapist Jasmine. This is a full body massage so it requires you to remove all jewelry and clothing (except panties) and lie face down under a sheet for privacy on a very comfortable massage table. The treatment itself lasted an hour and involved lots of different techniques and styles to deeply relax virtually every part of my body from head to toe. 

Designed to work on your most troublesome aches and pains, this customized massage is truly made-to-order and thorough and includes a wonderful oil massage. It's also a great way to experiment with a variety of massage styles to discover what you enjoy most and of course includes some traditional Thai massaging, an ancient treatment more than 2,500 years old.

After this first-hand experience, I wasn't surprised to learn that this very individualized treatment is one of the seaside spa's most asked for services -- offered to clients for $100 for one hour or for $150 for one and a half hours.

The Radiant Raven Organic Facial

After having the most amazing body massage I think I've ever experienced, I felt euphoric. I couldn't imagine feeling any better than I already did. Then in walks Sidaphan, the facialist, to give an organic facial which was another first for me, and another high -- lacking for a better word to describe it. This, too, was unlike other facials I've had before. 

 From the start this highly customized treatment felt much more gentle to my skin and also to my sense of smell because there were no strong chemical or articial fumes to breathe in. Instead my first-ever pure organic facial intertwined a variety of mild Enessa brand organic skincare lotions and potions which are also available at the spa for purchase to take home.

These essential, all-natural essential oils and lotions are made with concentrated extracts of plants, flowers and herbs that contain nutrients, enzymes, minerals and antiseptic properties to revive and help repair the skin.

How serene it felt after this complete detoxification treatment of my face, neck and upper shoulder areas. The fabulous mini massage that completed this treatment was simply icing on the cake! This very memorable 60 minute facial is available for $95.

The Peaceful Finish

No matter what service(s) you enjoy at The Raven, besides feeling radiant, this is what you have to look foward to after your treatment session has ended. The pampering continues as you make your way toward the entrance with a stop in the luxurious post-spa room. 
MommyBlogExpert.com

As you linger, not wanting to leave, you'll have the chance to contemplate every moment you've enjoyed during your visit while sipping a hot cup of herbal tea and glass of water as well as a feasting on a beautifully presented carved apple, date and orange fruit snack plate waiting on a tray just for you. 

 If you're like me, at this point, you'll already be thinking about how soon you'll be able to come back for your next visit here, even before you are out the door.

The Great American #MilkDrive Collects 23K Milk Gallons in 2 Days Much More Still Needed


Community

This is a sponsored post
  • Hunger affects 1 in 6 Americans, including 12.5 million families who don't have access to adequate nourishment
  • 37 million Americans served annually by the Feeding America network receive less than one gallon of milk per person per year
  • Recent findings by Feeding America reveal 95% of food banks across the country do not receive enough milk to meet demand
LA Food Bank, MommyBlogExpert.com
With sobering statistics like those, where do I start to tell you about how gratifying it is to be a part of The Great American Milk Drive campaign that rolled out nationwide yesterday? To have been the chosen blogger to represent not only Los Angeles but the entire state of California to help introduce the first national program ever that makes it simple for U.S. residents to donate fresh milk, with all its essential vitamins and minerals, to hungry families close to where their neighbors live in all 50 states?
Alta Dena Dairy Non-fat Milk, MommyBlogExpert.com
Indeed, actively participating in delivering Wednesday's news to the public was uplifting not only to me personally, but for all the other Mom It Forward bloggers working on this campaign. Kicking off with the initial announcement in New York City featuring an comedic appearance by actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson of the hit TV series Modern Family, the news moved west as it broke across time zones.

At the LA Food Bank Press Conference, MommyBlogExpert.com
Individual press conferences followed in nine other cities including Boston, Miami, Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Seattle. At each venue a different celebrity stepped up to the podium to help spread the word about this worthy cause.

St. Louis Rams TJ McDonald Jr. presents 1st milk gallon, MommyBlogExpert.com
As luck would have it reporting live from L.A., I got to meet TJ McDonald Jr., football safety for the St. Louis Rams, who donated the first gallon of milk during the press conference at the LA Food Bank east of downtown.
TJ McDonald and me at the event, MommyBlogExpert.com
As this post is published 23,000 gallons of milk have already been donated to the national #MilkDrive in less than two days since the program was launched. Thanks to all who have given so generously already. While this does make a small dent in providing milk to those who need it, with 37 million hungry people in America, so much more is needed to make a real difference.

 The next time you pour your child

 a glass of milk, think about all the 

 other kids who don't have any ...
