milk + honey Fan Favorite Employee

October 3, 2011

We know that we have some amazing employees. Our clients recognize them every day by making requests the next time they visit milk + honey.

Once again, it’s time for our quarterly Fan Favorite contest, when our clients nominate their favorite milk + honey employees. Click here to go to a form to nominate your favorite milk + honey staffer. Visit back to our blog on December 1 to view the winner.

Last quarter we had two massage therapists split the title of Fan Favorite: Matt and Randy.

One of Matt’s nominations reads:

“Matt has a calming presence, kind words, a sharp wit and I appreciate his endless quest to learn new massage and relaxation techniques. He is consistently honing his craft and his clients reap the benefits. Matt has saved me from the self mutilation of two MS150 bike rides and a 500 mile bike ride across the state of Iowa. He has unstressed me through the very uncomfortable pregnancy of my first kiddo and unwound me through multiple months of new baby sleep deprivation.”

One of Randy’s nominations reads:

“He is interested in my overall health and wellness. Remembers type of treatment and intuitively knows if something new is needed. His calm quiet manner and professionalism makes each experience better than the last! He is a jewel!”

We love our amazing stylists, massage therapists, nail technicians, estheticians, and concierge staff. Click here to go to a form to nominate you favorite milk + honey staffer. Visit back to our blog on December 1 to view the winner.

September 30, 2011

The weather is finally cooling down and Lady Bird Lake will be beautiful. Once the temperature drops we tend to forget the sunscreen. With the Hit the Trail Retreat you’ll leave with sunblock and be ready to … hit the trail. Before you get moving here’s a little trivia question about the lake.

Q: At its highest peak in the summer, how many bats live under the Congress Avenue Bridge on Lady Bird Lake?
(see the answer below)

Hit the Trail Retreat
Town Lake runners, walkers, and bikers: your day has come. After a hard workout on the Town Lake hike and bike trail, treat yourself to a spa retreat. After a shower in our locker room, enjoy an hour-long Sports Massage to help with sore joints and muscles. This is followed by a Buff + Go Combo plus 15 minutes of extra foot massage. To make sure that your skin stays safe in the hot sun, you’ll leave with CosMedix SPF 30 sunblock. Leave happy, refreshed, and ready to hit the trail again. 105 minutes for $199.

A: The answer is 1.5 million. It’s the largest urban bat colony in North America.
