Still looking for that special gift for Mother’s Day? No worries, we share in this blog post awesome—and clean—ideas to pamper mom, so she enjoys individualized and chemical-free experiences to keep her smiling for days to come.
SKIN TREATMENTS
The skin is the largest organ of the body, and among its primary functions is to protect the body from external agents, such as bacteria, chemicals and changes in temperature. It can also reflect body wellness, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, among others. This is why it is essential to go to specialized places that design appropriate treatments for each type of skin.
At EcoBlend Therapies, you will be able to find personalized treatments to stimulate the normal function of the skin and recover the ability to maintain balance and natural protection. Amy, as an award-winning licensed esthetician, curated a menu of treatments using high concentrations of antioxidants, lipids, and extracts of plants, marine vegetables, essential oils, and essential vitamins and minerals. They are free of fragrances, dyes, sodium lauryl sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, binders, fillers, chemical stabilizers, and other caustic and toxic ingredients. A perfect gift for mom, to recover fresh skin and have a healthy glow.
These are some of the treatments you will find at EcoBlend Therapies:
- Skin Consult: Full skin analysis to review the status of skin and appropriate treatment and product recommendations. Quick cleanse and hydration included!
- Deep Cleanse: This is a proven treatment utilizing gentle but effective all natural cranberry exfoliators to remove impurities and relieve pore congestion. Circulatory massage, masks, and Vitamin C-rich serums are combined to help neutralize free radical damage, clarify the pores, and brighten and tighten tone and texture. Extractions performed, if applicable. Great for all skin types.
- LED Light Therapy Facial: A light fruit enzyme exfoliation followed with a relaxing 30 minute LED Light Therapy session to treat specific concerns of the skin and optimize cellular function. Vitamins, antioxidants and plant extracts are incorporated to nourish and hydrate for maximum rejuvenation.

CLEAN HOME
Picture that invigorating moment when mom walks into her home, and it is immaculate. Top to bottom. Left to right. Smelling of fresh peppermint from recently mopped floors. That’s the experience mom gets with Gmaids! In particular, after she comes home from a long day at work, or from taking the kids to practice or recitals, or from one of the pampering rituals or events mentioned above.
Now, a clean home should never be a the expense of allergies or respiratory issues triggered by mainstream household chemicals. This is why Karen and Juan created Gmaids to offer green cleaning services to families in the Dallas metroplex who were environmentally conscious and lived with chemical sensitivities (talk about sneezing in the cleaning aisle at the grocery store!).
We also take care of 18 working mothers who are at the core of our company. We pledge to pay living wages and benefits to our employees so they can raise their families in a safe and comfortable environment.
Our most popular services (all available in gift certificate form) are:
- Recurring Maintenance: Talk about keeping harmony in our homes all year round! Recurring pre-assigned visits to your home with the same cleaning technician, every 1, 2 or 4 weeks. Essential for homes with light build-up across all rooms, that need maintenance cleaning and continuous professional upkeep of their property.
- General Clean: One time visit to do a general house cleaning. We focus on the essential areas with medium build-up of dust and grime on surfaces, showers, kitchen, and floors. Think of dust that lifts swiftly when dry-wiped or feather-dusted—considered as normal use in the average home. Perfect when on a budget, but still needing to catch up on past-due cleanings, professionally.
- Deep Clean (aka Spring Cleaning): One time visit to do a deep cleaning where hand washing is at its core. We focus on areas of heavy build-up—think about caked dust and grime that needs to be scrubbed off while tackling the surrounding details. Usually twice as long as the General Clean. Perfect for very detailed oriented homeowners that need every single area wet-cleaned versus dusted as needed. Favorited by move ins/move outs (hey Californians!), homes that need to catch up on consecutive months of missed cleanings, or when welcoming a sweet newborn at home (best gift ever!).
