Franchisees Double Down on Investment to Bring Massage, Skincare & Wellness Franchise to the Entertainment Capital of the World

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Heights Wellness Retreat, formerly Massage Heights, a leading massage and wellness franchise that provides high-quality massage, skincare and wellness services in more than 115 Retreats throughout North America, announces a new signed agreement in Las Vegas. Amid the brand’s recent evolution, this milestone marks the first official Heights Wellness Retreat to open in the Las Vegas market.

Behind the Signed Agreement – The Manions:

  • Husband-wife duo, Eshelle and James Manion, were awarded their first license in February 2024 and have now signed on for a second location in the Las Vegas market. Their first Heights Wellness Retreat is slated to open in Spring 2026 at 6887 Helen Toland Street, Suite 120, within UnCommons, a first-of-its-kind development across from the new Durango Casino & Resort that blends state-of-the-art office space, upscale residential living, trendsetting restaurants and lifestyle brands across a walkable 40-acre campus. The second Retreat is planned for 2028.

  • Eshelle comes from a marketing and sales background specifically in health care and senior living. She has years of management experience in these industries, whereas James’ background is in the casino industry as a regional director of revenue and finance. Together, their complementary expertise will be instrumental in driving business success.

  • After learning about the brand’s plans to shift toward a wellness retreat concept, the Manions knew they wanted to be a part of this new era. They decided to invest in the brand, becoming one of the first to sign a franchise agreement with Heights Wellness Retreat and bring the concept to Las Vegas.

  • Prior to the opening, the Manions are looking forward to building relationships with other local groups and organizations to further cement themselves and the new location in the community.

“We’re thrilled to be at the forefront of the brand’s evolution and introduce the first Heights Wellness Retreat to Las Vegas,” said Eshelle. “With an optimistic economic outlook and the introduction of industry innovations like red light therapy, cryotherapy, halo salt saunas, and more, now is the ideal time to bring these transformative wellness experiences to the community.”

Massage therapy has been the core offering of Massage Heights and will remain the foundation of Heights Wellness Retreat. Building on this foundation, the brand continues to prioritize innovation by enhancing its service offerings with the introduction of touchless therapies such as lymphatic drainage suits, meditation, red light therapy, and salt therapy. These offerings provide consumers with a new level of convenience to achieve holistic wellness, creating personalized experiences that nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

“We are excited to celebrate this milestone with the Manions as they open the first location in Las Vegas since our brand’s evolution,” said Shane Evans, Founder and CEO of Heights Wellness Retreat. “Their passion for our brand and commitment to delivering impactful wellness experiences embody our vision of transformation and growth. With the wellness industry rapidly growing, this agreement marks an exciting step in expanding our footprint and introducing the Heights Wellness Retreat concept to even more communities.”

With the global wellness industry projected to reach $9 trillion by 2028, the brand is primed for continued success. The Heights leadership team has prime territories available nationwide so that more communities across the U.S. have access to holistic wellness services.

Kourtney Kardashian breaks silence on wellness routine amid raising newborn son

Kourtney Kardashian breaks silence on wellness routine amid raising newborn son

Kardashian shares Rocky born in November 2023 with her husband, rocker Travis Barker

Kourtney Kardashian opened up about still breastfeeding her two-year-old son, Rocky Thirteen, during the Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) Beauty Inc Awards in New York on Tuesday. 

The 46-year-old reality participated in a panel titled ‘Lemme Lead: Redefining Wellness & Access’ at WWD’s The Catalysts, where she showcased her wellness brand, Lemme, alongside co-founder Simom Huck. 

Kardashian, who shares Rocky born in November 2023 with her husband, rocker Travis Barker, 50, spoke candidly about breastfeeding while discussing how she sustains her energy as a busy mother of four. 

When WWD moderator Jenny B. Fine asked her about the source of her vitality, Kardashian who recently sparked pregnancy rumours explained her wellness regimen and shared insights on balancing motherhood with her professional commitments.

‘How do I get my energy? Honestly, I have no idea. I wonder that. I do no alcohol. I am breastfeeding.’ 

Huck, 42, added, ‘You were a matcha girl before.’ 

The Kardashians star, who looked stunning in a whit suit at the event, then replied,’ I cannot wait to have matcha again.’ 

‘It’s a choice. I technically could have it, I think while breastfeeding, but it’s just become a choice.’

The mom-of-four, who was joined by Lemme co-founder Simon Huck on the panel, also shared that she’s avoiding coffee. Kardashian, also has three children-Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and Reign,10, with ex partner Scott Disick.

The beauty of confidence is more than skin deep

The beauty of confidence is more than skin deep

From sports to screen, So-Yeon Kang opens up about embracing both athleticism and self-care, and how confidence is the best look of all.

When Kang So-Yeon first appeared on Single’s Inferno, the hosts quickly picked up on her confidence—a quiet strength she still radiates as she reflects on her journey. With her athletic build, the singer, influencer, and actress recalls how her tall frame was often considered less than ideal for roles shaped by traditional Korean beauty standards.

Now, she sees South Korea shifting away from rigid ideals, and her casting on the Netflix reality show became a turning point as she embraced the beauty of diversity with the support of fans, saying, “The balance of mind and body—inner peace and a healthy body—is essential for confidence.”

Kang grew up in a sporty family and remains active today with tennis, boxing, scuba diving, and more. “Exercise as the greatest form of self-respect and physical strength is the power that allows you to not give up and to resolve things more positively,” says Kang, adding that to her, beauty is the embodiment of health, courage and confidence. She believes that medical aesthetic treatments can create synergy with this mindset, providing her with confidence—especially important in her work in front of the camera.

“Confidence begins from within, but subtle enhancements through medical aesthetics can complement a holistic self-care routine,” she continues, noting that she has undergone Ultherapy Prime by Merz Aesthetics, a family-owned business with more than 115 years of German heritage.

Non-invasive medical aesthetic treatments such as Ultherapy Prime have been gaining popularity due to technological advances, minimal downtime, and increased acceptance. In the Asia-Pacific region, the medical aesthetic devices market is projected to surpass $5.4 billion in 2025, rising to $8.9 billion by 2030, with minimally invasive options accounting for more than 55% of the market.

In recent years, the conversation around medical aesthetic procedures has become more open. This shift in narrative contributes to framing beauty treatments as another form of long-term self-care, much like exercise and nutrition.

Choosing medical aesthetics treatment is a deeply personal choice, rooted in a journey of self-care and empowerment.

Lawrence Siow, president, Merz Aesthetics APAC

“What truly matters is that these choices, especially when thoughtfully guided using scientifically supported products and performed by skilled medical practitioners, reflect one’s values, individuality, and personal sense of confidence,” says Lawrence Siow, president at Merz Aesthetics APAC.

Even as beauty ideals across the Asia-Pacific region become more diverse and inclusive, cultural pressures continue to play a defining role in how people navigate their aesthetic journeys. The Pillars of Confidence, a global study of 15,000 adults across 15 countries, conducted by Merz Aesthetics with research partner Ipsos, found that 40% of respondents feel discouraged from discussing treatments due to fear of judgment. Social media adds an extra layer of pressure, fueling unrealistic standards through filters and photo editing tools.

Despite these external influences, a growing trend is emerging toward authenticity and natural-looking results. In the Pillars of Confidence study, 62% of respondents surveyed in the Asia-Pacific region reported pursuing aesthetic treatments as part of regular beauty maintenance, and 79% said they did so to reflect how they feel inside, highlighting how treatments can empower individuals to feel more aligned with their personal identity and confident in their own skin.

Research published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal shows a positive correlation between nonsurgical medical aesthetic treatments and self-perception. In a survey of East Asian participants who had undergone aesthetic procedures, 64.5% of respondents were motivated by internal factors such as self-investment and self-confidence, rather than external societal pressure. This is echoed in the Pillars of Confidence study, which found 72% of respondents said aesthetic treatments impact how they view themselves, and 74% considered self-confidence key to well-being.

Medical aesthetics today is less about conforming to societal ideals and more about enhancing one’s unique features. In Singapore, medical doctors like Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, who has over 15 years of experience performing non-invasive treatments, believe that every treatment should be personalized to the individual to achieve a natural result. “Many Asian patients are choosing to optimize their traits for natural-looking results through non-surgical methods,” says Dr. Siew.

While unnatural results remain the single biggest concern among Pillars of Confidence survey respondents, safety is also a major consideration. “Patient safety is our highest priority,” says Dr. Samantha Kerr, chief scientific officer at Merz Aesthetics. “All Merz Aesthetics products undergo rigorous clinical evaluation, are backed by scientific evidence, and meet strict regulatory standards for medical aesthetic treatments, including approvals from relevant global regulatory agencies.” As awareness of safety and natural results continues to grow, the conversation around medical aesthetics is evolving toward a more informed and balanced understanding of confidence and self-care.

By embracing their own beauty, as Kang has done, the personal decision to receive medical aesthetic treatments can celebrate diversity and strengthen confidence. “That kind of continual self-appreciation—I think the self-appreciation mindset is what authentic beauty truly is,” says Kang, emphasizing that in today’s evolving landscape, confidence and individuality are redefining beauty as a genuine expression of self.

Expond Launches “Wellness Walks” to Bring Connection and Movement Back to Santa Barbara

Expond Launches “Wellness Walks” to Bring Connection and Movement Back to Santa Barbara

Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.

Santa Barbara, Calif. (11/18/2025) – Wellness doesn’t always start with a gym or a goal. Sometimes, it starts with someone showing up at your door. Expond has launched Wellness Walks, an on-demand service that pairs Santa Barbara locals with trusted wellness providers for safe, guided walks focused on movement, conversation, and human connection.

Even in a city known for sunshine and beauty, many residents spend most of their time indoors, working, recovering, or simply feeling stuck. That feeling can become even harder during the holiday season, when routines slow down and social connections fade. Wellness Walks is designed to help ease those holiday blues by giving people a simple way to get outside, move, and reconnect.

“We built Wellness Walks to make it easy for people to move again and feel connected,” said Jason Baker, founder of Expond. “It’s simple, but a friendly face at your door and a safe walk outside changes everything.”

Each Wellness Walk begins at the client’s home or a nearby location and lasts up to 45 minutes. All Expond providers are vetted professionals such as yoga instructors, massage therapists, personal trainers, and sound healers who share one thing in common: they love people.

Wellness Walks offers a welcoming, community-based way for people to move more and feel more connected. The California Department of Aging reports that nearly 40 percent of older adults experience loneliness or isolation, and walking with someone you trust can be one of the simplest ways to lift mood and improve well-being.

Expond hopes the program will inspire small yet meaningful changes in people’s routines, one step, one walk, and one conversation at a time.

Wellness Walks is now available across Santa Barbara. To learn more or to schedule a walk, visit goexpond.com/walk.

About Expond

Expond connects communities with vetted wellness professionals through services such as personal training, in-home massage, and now Wellness Walks. The company’s mission is simple: make wellness easier to access, one genuine connection at a time.

Bianca de Vera talks skincare inside Bahay ni Kuya, confidence, and the surprising body part she says people often neglect, as she launches her Silka Green Papaya campaign.

How Bianca de Vera solved beauty concerns inside Bahay ni Kuya

Confidence and care are up and center for actress and Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition alum Bianca de Vera.

She is officially introduced as the newest face of Silka Green Papaya Soap on November 5, 2025, at Novotel Manila Araneta City.

Bianca’s fresh chapter with Silka

For Bianca, the partnership marks a meaningful first in her career.

“It’s my first big commercial and print shoot,” she says.

“Every moment was memorable because it was a two-day shoot and I learned so much—with the guidance of Direk and my whole Silka family.

“I’m really, really proud to represent something I personally use.”

The campaign celebrates confidence that comes from self-care, a message Bianca naturally embodies.

“Well of course, natural is always best,” she begin.

“But for me, talagang naniniwala ako na do whatever makes you feel confident.

“For me, there’s no judgment naman kung ano man ang gusto mong gawin because it’s your choice, it’s your body, so ayun.

“So if it’s between balancing the both of them, I guess just do whatever makes you confident.”

Beauty as self-expression

When asked whether she’s magastos with skinncare, Bianca laughed before admitting it’s one of her happy indulgences.

“Guilty pleasure ko talaga siya,” she reveals.

“I like feeling confident. Hindi lang dahil GGSS [Gandang-ganda Sa Sarili] ako or because of…parang hindi naman siguro mali sa isang babaeng na gusto nila maging maganda all the time.

“Kasi ano yun, e, parte yun ng pagiging isang babae and we don’t do it for other people. We do it for ourselves. So yeah, I would say yes and I’m proud of it.”

That balance between natural beauty and experimentation, she adds, is all about intention.

“Siyempre, ang goal naman natin is maging, uh, paganda nang paganda like, di ba? To age like fine wine.

“As for beauty goals, siguro gusto ko lang talagang mag-age gracefully, and of course I do that by using Silka Green Papaya so yeah.

“Do whatever makes you feel beautiful. Confidence looks different for everyone.”

Inside the PBB house

Before, her perspective on beauty and confidence wasn’t always this polished.

Before entering Pinoy Big Brother, Bianca admits she was at one of the lowest points of her life.

“I could not find myself. I found myself really broken,” she tells PEP during the Q&A session.

“And, I found a lot of people really took my time and took me for granted.

“I gave a lot of myself to other people who maybe didn’t deserve, or maybe I was just at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

“I would say nasira yung confidence ko.

“How did I overcome it? Honestly, it was hard. Sometimes, you would just wish na gigising ka nalang and you gusto mo nalang na bumalik talaga yung confidence mo.

“How did I do it? I took care of myself.”

Inside the house, she had no choice but to confront herself without distractions.

ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓

“I made sure na I made time with myself, and a big part of it was really my PBB journey because in PBB, we really didn’t have any outlets.

“We only had to face ourselves.

“So, I always say naman na malaki din talaga yung utang na loob ko sa PBB and kay Kuya for bringing back my confiddence, too.”

When it comes to self-care, limited resources inside Bahay ni Kuya also meant simplifying her beauty routine to the basics.

“I used to wash my face a lot and, other than that, SPF.

“SPF is your hero forever really kasi, not a lot of people know this, but mainit kasi sa loob lalo doon sa, sa garden area.”

Building confidence from care

Those early experiences shaped her current mindset toward skin care—especially when it comes to parts of the body that don’t always get attention.

When asked which body part tends to be the most neglected, Bianca pauses before confessing with a laugh.

ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓

“The back! It’s so hard to reach, but it’s still important,” she says with a giggle.

“It’s hygiene, and you never know when someone might see it, so take care of every part of your body.”

She reveals that she used to struggle with back-ne during her PBB days.

“Inside the house, we didn’t have much. So when I got out, one of the first things I reached for was Silka. Now my back is smooth again!”

The surprising wellness and beauty tip from a 50+ influencer everyone should know

Aging can feel like uncharted territory, but for many women over 50, it’s also a new beginning—one filled with wisdom, confidence, and a deeper understanding of what makes them feel beautiful. Today, more mature influencers are redefining what beauty looks like at this stage of life, moving away from trends and toward authenticity, self-care, and grace.

Among them is Gillianne Fuller, a lifestyle influencer who’s built her message around embracing age rather than fighting it. Her words capture a mindset that resonates with thousands of women: aging “gracefully, intentionally, and on my own terms.” But behind her philosophy lies a simple, powerful beauty tip that challenges long-held expectations—and it’s one everyone should hear.

What is the beauty tip this 50+ influencer swears by?

Gillianne Fuller’s standout advice is refreshingly straightforward: don’t feel pressure to wear makeup. While that may surprise some, it reflects her belief that confidence and beauty come from comfort in one’s own skin. “I rarely wear makeup unless I’m going to an event or something special,” Fuller admits. “I love letting my skin breathe and hydrate. That’s what makes me feel beautiful—being at peace with my face as it is, knowing I’m taking care of it in a way that feels natural and sustainable.”

Her message encourages women to move away from the idea that beauty requires a full face of cosmetics every day. Instead, she promotes a minimalist, intentional approach to self-care—one that celebrates authenticity and respects the body’s natural rhythm.

This perspective aligns with the broader sentiment shared by other over-50 influencers, who emphasize self-awareness and individuality as key pillars of wellness and beauty. It’s not about covering up or conforming; it’s about celebrating the skin you’re in.

The new rules of beauty after 50

For mature beauty influencer Kat James, the journey starts with mindfulness. She urges women to pay attention to what they’re applying to their skin and putting into their bodies. “Once I detoxed my routine—skin care, makeup, and food—I noticed a huge shift,” she says. “My skin looked better, I had more energy, and I actually started aging in reverse.”

Meanwhile, Lisa Butler Grain focuses on intention over imitation. “Choose quality over trends,” she advises. “Care deeply for your skin and invest in rituals that make you feel uniquely you.” For her, sophistication lies in quiet confidence—the kind that shines through authenticity and self-assurance.

Then there’s Lori Altermann, who never skips sunscreen. “If plants can get sun inside of a house, so can your skin,” she says, underscoring the importance of daily protection. Fuller agrees, calling SPF her non-negotiable beauty essential.

Aging on your own terms

Ultimately, these women share a philosophy that goes beyond surface-level beauty. Whether it’s staying hydrated, maintaining balance, or embracing authenticity, their collective message is clear: aging beautifully means living honestly.

As Fuller reminds her followers, there’s no single way to age well. The secret is in doing it your way—without apology, without pressure, and without the need to hide behind makeup or trends. Confidence, after all, is the most timeless look of all. And perhaps that’s the real beauty tip worth remembering.
