		<description><![CDATA[Whether you have a mom to thank, or you're a mom in need of a break, we've got the answer for you this Mother's Day!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a mother can be a tough job, so we want to make this coming Mother’s Day extra special. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve come up with a few different ways for you to celebrate the mothers you know.</p>
<h3>Special packages</h3>
<p>Whether your&#8217;re an expecting mother, in the middle of learning the ropes with a wee one, a veteran at raising children, or simply someone who wants to show their thanks to a mother in their life, there are a number of options to choose from. Visit our <a href="http://www.monasteryspa.ca/spa/spa-packages/" title="Spa Packages">Spa Packages</a> section for more details.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> we recommend reserving your package as soon as possible to ensure everything is in order for Sunday, May 12th.</p>
<h3>Escape the stress contest</h3>
<p>Of course, we realize that raising kids takes more than just time and love, it takes money. So, not only are we offering special packages for Mother&#8217;s Day, we are also running a campaign to find the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/monastery.spa" title="Monastery on Facebook" target="_blank">Facebook fan</a> who truly needs some stress relief!</p>
<p>Leading up to Mother&#8217;s Day, we&#8217;re looking for people to post a picture or tell us about one of the reasons they’re stressed as a mom. Did your toddler spill their juice and cereal on the dog who then proceeded to roll around on the living room rug? Or maybe your son figured out the volume on the remote control right before losing it and now his favourite show is keeping the newborn from falling asleep? Whatever the reason, if you <a href="https://www.facebook.com/monastery.spa" title="Monastery on Facebook" target="_blank">share it with us</a> on Facebook, you could win a great Mother’s Day package!</p>
<p>We’ll be reviewing all the entries and announcing the winner before the big day, so <a href="https://www.facebook.com/monastery.spa" title="Monastery on Facebook" target="_blank">enter now</a>!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Together with Aveda, we're raising money for clean water, and attempting a Guinness World Record at the same time.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Social responsibility has been a pillar of the Aveda ethos since the brand’s founding in 1978,” says Sara Allen, Aveda Regional SDP. “Aveda professionals are living proof that beauty and environment are inextricably connected – their Earth Month achievements are truly remarkable.”</p>
<p>We&#8217;re celebrating Earth Month with Aveda. Since 1999, they have raised over $26 million in partnership with their salons, spas, stores, institutes, and guests for environmental causes. This year, the botanical beauty brand is committed to raising $5 million for clean water, and we are happy to be involved.</p>
<h3>The reason</h3>
<p>Since 2007, Aveda has donated Earth Month proceeds to organizations working to combat the clean water crisis – to date more than $20 million has been directed to support hundreds of clean water projects on six continents. These donations have improved the lives of countless people around the world, including <a title="Clean Water Saves Lives" href="http://youtu.be/m3t_0wkOh3w" rel="external">villages in Madagascar</a>.</p>
<h3>The cut-a-thon</h3>
<p>Throughout April, we will be fundraising in a variety of ways with a goal of raising $2,000. Most notably, we will be participating in a global 24-hour cut-a-thon on Earth Day, April 22nd from 10am to 8pm. On that day, Aveda stylists in salons worldwide – from Tokyo, to Sydney, Moscow, London, New York, and right here – will volunteer their time to offer haircuts in return for a donation to Earth Month (minimum $10 for a haircut), a simple and beautiful way for our guests to actively care for the environment.</p>
<p>In addition to raising money for clean water, Aveda salons will jointly attempt a Guinness World Record for the most money raised for charity by haircuts in a 24-hour period.</p>
<h3>How to help the cause</h3>
<p>You can help us raise funds for clean water projects worldwide by donating <a title="Crowdrise Fundraising Page" href="http://crowdrise.com/monasteryspaearthmonth2013" rel="external">here</a> or through our <a href="https://www.monasteryspa.ca/purchase/gift-certificates/" title="Gift Certificates">online store</a>, taking part in our cut-a-thon on Earth Day, April 22nd, purchasing a bottle of clean water or a Light the Way candle at Monastery Spa &amp; Suites, or simply leaving money in one of the donation jars during a visit with us. Remember, every little bit helps, and together we can make a big difference!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With so many great clients, how could we not find another way to thank you?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had so much fun, and such a great response, with our <a href="http://www.monasteryspa.ca/article/a-great-week/" title="A great week" rel="external">week of celebrations</a> last month that we&#8217;ve decided to do something else as a thank you to our great clients. With March break coming up, and folks looking south to get away, we want to know what your plan is for a fresh escape?</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;ve got a week of beaches and warm sun ahead of you, but it could also be something as simple as a few days of movies and popcorn on the couch. As long as you&#8217;re planning on getting away from it all in some way, we want to hear about it! We&#8217;ll be randomly selecting one entry on Friday, March. 22nd to win a <a href="http://www.monasteryspa.ca/spa/service-menu/" title="Spa service menu" rel="external">Caribbean Therapy Pedicure</a>.</p>
<p>All you have to do is check out our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=427057444043515&#038;set=a.417048268377766.93904.322598077822786&#038;type=1&#038;theater" title="What's your fresh escape?" rel="external">Facebook page</a> for the details and leave a comment to enter.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many people to thank for the success of this past week, and our clients are on the top of the list.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Between our <a href="http://www.monasteryspa.ca/article/guest-appreciation-event/" title="Guest Appreciation Event" rel="external">Guest Appreciation event</a>, <a href="http://www.monasteryspa.ca/article/open-house/" title="Open House" rel="external">Open House</a>, and Valentine&#8217;s Day last night, we had an amazing week here at Monastery Spa and Suites.</p>
<h3>Thank you</h3>
<p>We couldn&#8217;t have done it without our incredible staff and all the hard work they&#8217;ve done lately. Along with them, our visiting Aveda experts, Janessa Pare, Ann Sharpe, and Sarah Allen, made sure our transition to an Aveda Concept Spa went well. They also hosted our info sessions, which were a big hit with everyone in attendance.</p>
<p>Of course, having such great clients come out to each and every event was the best part. We&#8217;ve been receiving great feedback on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/monastery.spa" title="Monastery Spa &#038; Suites Facebook Page" rel="external">Facebook page</a>, and we look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations. If it wasn&#8217;t for you choosing us for a fresh escape, this week would have been a whole different experience. So, thank you.</p>
<p>Stay tuned to our <a href="http://www.monasteryspa.ca/connections/" title="Connections" rel="external">Connections page</a> for the announcement of our grand prize winner and more very soon!</p>
