My name is Michelle McKay and I am 24 years old from Sarnia, Ontario Canada. I have graduated with an Honours degree in Family and Social Relations with a minor in French and a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have always been motivated to work hard and follow my dreams. I am a firm believer in positive thinking and relish the opportunity to inspire others to achieve their potential. A positive attitude and determination is my strategy for success. I believe the secret to happiness is found in the acceptance of self. Life is about finding yourself and your passion. My true passion is modeling. I love how it enables me to express my individuality and personality.
Q: How did you hear about the Planet Beach Cover Model Competition? What inspired you to participate?
A: I heard about the Planet Beach Cover Model Competition in 2011 when I was asked to compete in a bikini contest. I was fortunate enough to win and then ultimately be chosen as the 2011 Cover Model. Since my previous experience as a Cover Model, I have been truly missing everything Planet Beach has to offer. Planet Beach changed my life for the better, which has inspired me to once again participate. It is an amazing feeling to represent a brand that truly inspires individuals to live a happier life style. The Planet Beach Cover Model Competition has forever changed my life and I am truly grateful.
Q: What is your favorite Planet Beach spa service and why?
A: Even though I absolutely love all the spa services Planet Beach has to offer, I would have to say my favorite is the HydroMassage. I have spent the last year teaching young students and by the end of the week, I was in desperate need of some relaxation. The HydroMassage not only relieved pain and stress, it reduced fatigue so I could start the next week of teaching on a positive note. There is nothing better than enjoying traditional massage therapy in a fraction of the time.
Q: What is your favorite Planet Beach product and why?
A: I would honestly have to say that my favourite Planet Beach product is the pbGLOW Instant Sunless Spray. I was using this product while competing for Miss Universe Canada and it worked wonders. I was competing for ten days and had no way to maintain my glow. The Instant Sunless Spray provided a rich bronze glow that enabled me to feel my most confident on stage. I will continue to use this sunless product to ensure I am feeling and looking my best.
Q: What are your goals as a Planet Beach Cover Model?
A: As a Planet Beach Cover Model, I have set many goals for myself. Firstly, my initial goal is to share my love for Planet Beach with the world. When you truly believe in a brand, it fosters an inner positivity that I would like the world to experience. I want people to grasp everything Planet Beach has to offer and love it as much as I do. Secondly, I would love the chance to own my own Planet Beach Contempo Spa. I definitely inherited my business aspirations from my mother and would love the opportunity to open my own spa as a mother daughter team. The Planet Beach Spa would convey family love that would ensure all customers are appreciated and welcomed.
Q: Describe the Planet Beach company in three words.
A: When I think of the Planet Beach company, these three words come to mind instantly: Inner Outer Beauty. The Planet Beach products and services make me feel beautiful inside and out. They truly capture the essence of my inner and outer beauty by providing different ways to feel and look your best.
Q: What is your most embarrassing moment? We all have one! (at least!)
A: It truly is hard picking my most embarrassing moment because I could make a long list of embarrassing situations that would make everyone giggle. However, I would have the say my most embarrassing moment was during high school and this hockey player that I had an enormous crush on FINALLY talked to me. I had always dreamed of the moment he say a few words to me. As my crush approached me, I was walking up the stairs and was so distracted by his smile; I fell completely on my face and rolled down a few stairs. I was mortified! However, in life when we fall down, we need to just pick ourselves up and move on, and that is what I did. Even though I was embarrassed, I will never forget that particular moment because I realized that not everything happens how I imagined it, but you make the best of it.
Q: What is your career aspiration?
A: My career aspiration includes taking modeling as far as I can go. I want to be a successful model and take each opportunity as an experience of a lifetime. I am truly honoured for all my past experiences and look forward to future endeavors. Additionally, I aspire to be the best educator I can be! Through education, I want to make a difference and provide a safe and positive environment for all.
Q: If you could have dinner with one figure in history and ask them any one question, who and what would it be?
A: If I could have dinner with one figure in history, I would most definitely choose Elizabeth Taylor. She exuded elegance and style. I would want to know what her inner thoughts were with respect to self-image. She always portrayed herself with self-confidence and class but knowing how she saw herself would be so enlightening.

It’s funny how I pull out of my driveway and, by the time I get to work, I have become so lost in thought that I don’t remember the drive. My thoughts bounce from work to family, back and forth, like a perpetual Ping-Pong ball. I know you know what I mean…did I turn off the flat iron? What time is that meeting today? Is soccer practice at 5:30 or 6? Did I respond to that email yesterday afternoon? I think I remember drafting the first half and then the phone rang and I can’t remember if I pressed send? I need to schedule a dentist appointment soon. It’s been way too long and it hurts every time I chew with that back tooth! Why God have I put that off for soooo long??? God, if you’re listening, please help me remember to send that email as soon as I get to the office! Oh, and if it’s not too much trouble, can you please help me maintain sanity today?!?! And it goes on and on.
It’s a wonder that I can have a conversation on any given day on a focused topic! My brain seems to redirect constantly. But, I’ll tell you this. I think being a mom has helped me to be a better employee. As the Director of eCommerce at Planet Beach, I love what I do, but like all jobs, it comes with certain pressures and great responsibility. Since being a mom for the past 7+ years, I will tell you that I have learned to handle stress better. I stay grounded and keep things in perspective, shifting priorities are understandable, and when an office debate becomes too heated, I just put my fellow co-workers in time-out (I wish)! Yes, I am constantly thinking about what I did yesterday, what I have to do today and what has to be done tomorrow. The to-do list of (insert slow-mo deep projecting voice) epic proportions grows and grows.
Honestly, I find that the busier I am, the more organized I am forced to be. The give and take battle of home and work life has somehow proven to be a symbiotic relationship. What I learn from home life impacts work life, and it is the other way around, too! I attended a Marketing and Sales training. Oh, how I love those (insert sarcasm). However, I will tell you that the tactical selling and marketing communication skills are applicable to everyday situations: navigating through a tough tension-filled conversation, negotiation strategies, managing information skillfully and strategic communication tactics. The list goes on. These ‘skills’ have been used and leveraged at home and in everyday life. I can say that, although my life is centered around my family and they mean the world to me; I think I am more well-rounded because of the experience and growth I have attained through my working years – thus far.
As such; henceforth, I will remind myself of this on those days when things are out of balance and I am struggling. I will remind myself that I do this for the good of my family and for the good of the world, or the little bubble I live in that is my reality. Yes, join me friends, and strive to find balance so both work and family get your BEST! I bet that if you really start thinking about this, you can account for the skills and talents (if you will) you have cultivated at each that you leverage in both. Give yourself a pat on the back! Raise your glasses whether they are filled with wine, cucumber-infused water or leftover apple juice from your kids’ cup! Bravo to you! We, the working moms of the world, need to remind ourselves that it is okay to be a mom and have a career and there is good that comes from both! Stick with me ladies and I leave you with this: “Do your best, give your best and know that in doing so you’ll enhance the quality of your life.” (verybestquotes.com). Until next time…
These Are A Few of My Favorite Things! (Cue the Sound of Music melody)
With the fall weather rolling in and a rainy day outside my window, it looks like a perfect day to just relax! This calls for my warm fuzzy socks, a hot cup of organic spearmint green tea and a Planet Beach Collagen Eye and Lip Mask!
Why not multi task, right? Relax and chase away my fine lines while achieving a youthful and firm look from my couch? Yes, please!
Planet Beach’s FACE line is part of my every day cleansing regiment but, every once in a while, I like to give my skin a little oomph. Since collagen is a type of protein naturally produced by the skin, I’m not afraid to put it on my skin. As we get older, our skin loses elasticity and thus comes the wrinkles! Dunt Dunt Dunnnnn!
As a thirty-year-old NBA dancer and entertainment personality, I have to keep up with the youngens and that means taking care of my skin! Sure, we all had those crazy adolescent years where we spent too much time in the sun, but I can tell you it is NEVER to late to turn your skin around!
Since I first started using the collagen mask, I have seen noticeable changes in the look and feel of my skin. My fine lines seem to soften and my skin feels firmer and hydrated. But, what I love most about it is that it is made with 24K gold extract to increase cellular regeneration for long lasting results. And lets be real…what girl doesn’t love gold!?!?
These masks are easy to use and only take about 20 minutes of your time. So kick back, relax and renew your skin with Planet Beach’s Collagen Eye and Lip Masks. You can thank me later. 😉

A true Californian native, born and raised in San Jose, California, fate took Isabelle Du back to her motherland as she modeled abroad in Asia for 4 years. She became an international model as she worked in countries such as Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. She fell in love with Vietnam though and ended up staying there the longest to get in touch with her roots.
Some of her past work has included the Tyra Banks Show, Tresemme, Wet Seal, Mossimo, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Urban Outfitters, Elle Magazine, FHM Magazine and Cosmopolitan. Like a Gemini that she is, Isabelle has always liked to keep busy with as many things as possible. She did scuba diving stunt work and later became a soap opera actress and FashionTV host.
And as of right now, you can find her working on her fashion blog MY BOYFRIEND’S CLOTHES with her boyfriend. The two are used to working together as a team as CBS has dubbed her and Dennis Hour as #TheDatingCouple. You can watch them race around the world for a million dollars on this 25th season of the Emmy award-winning show THE AMAZING RACE!
Q: How did you hear about the Planet Beach Cover Model Competition? What inspired you to participate?
I actually do go to Planet Beach and love it. It’s the ideal place where I can just relax and reset myself. I saw that they were looking for models to represent the brand and I wanted to be a part of that!
Q: What is your favorite Planet Beach spa service and why?
The red light therapy session. I’ve always been insecure with my scars and being consistent with the red light therapy helps with my acne scars, my eczema and lightens up my scar on the back of my thigh I got from a bad motorbiking accident.
Q: What is your favorite Planet Beach product and why?
Right now, I’m obsessed with the Repair from the FACE by Planet Beach line. I use a few drops to gently rub and pat onto my face right before I go to bed. And voila! The next morning my skin looks like it got a good amount of sleep (even if I haven’t!) And it feels super soft as if it’s been quenching water all night.
My tip is to rub the oil a bit in your hands for warmth because it absorbs better into your skin. And for extra credit, get a hot damp towel, place it on your face to open up your pores. Once the towel cools down, then rub the oil onto your face to really maximize absorption. I love oils — they’re as natural as they come and they have such an amazing restorative power about them.
Q: What are your goals as a Planet Beach Cover Model?
I want to be someone relatable for women. I want to help remind people that it’s okay to take time out to take care of yourself. When you look good, you feel good! Simple as that. PB helps me escape so that when I go back to my work and schedule, I’m healthy from inside out and ready to take on whatever’s next. When I take out the stress in my life, I get to be who I really am—motivated and excited to meet new people to make projects happen.
Q: Describe the Planet Beach company in three words.
Feel-good getaway!
Q: What is your most embarrassing moment? We all have one! (at least!)
When I was living in Vietnam, my main mode of transportation was riding around on my motorbike – I named the ol’ girl Goldie. Going for dinner one night, I parked Goldie outside the restaurant and placed my helmet on the bike. As I walked inside, I noticed people were looking at me, but I figured it’s because I didn’t look local and thought nothing of it When my friend Brittany arrived she asked me, “What’s that on your head?!” The inside of my helmet had somehow detached itself from the outer part so I had this ridiculous Styrofoam moulding on top of my head the whole time – from parking my bike to walking into the restaurant and then sitting down. When I took it off, the customers who had initially stared at me started laughing. I had no choice but to laugh it off.
Q: What is your career aspiration?
I’ve got so many and I want to continue to have many in life. I want to go on writer’s retreats all over the world, write a novel and then have it published. On a related note, I want to LIVE all over the world and completely immerse myself within that culture. As an entrepreneur, I want to set up different e-commerce businesses and recently just launched my first one called www.idealhomebars.com. My boyfriend and I have a fashion blog together called MY BOYFRIEND’S CLOTHES (www.myboyfriendsclothes.com) and we want to continue to grow it and take it to the next level. And of course, I want to continue to model, in every stage of being a woman.
Q: If you could have dinner with one figure in history and ask them any one question, who and what would it be?
Personal Finance Guru Suze Orman is my idol, she has changed my life for the better with all of her personal finance books and advice. In fact, I’m out of credit card debt because of her. If I could ask her anything, it would be 3 things: what’s the best investment you’ve made, the worst investment, and the best free thing in life. One day I’ll meet her so I can tell her how financially empowered I feel because of her.
Stay tuned to get a peek into the lives of our 2015 Cover Models!
When it comes to looking and feeling good, it’s easy to focus on the products – the makeup, the vitamins, and the moisturizers that allow us to look and feel our best. With so much focus placed on these beauty and health enhancers, we can forget that one of the key ingredients for a balanced lifestyle is right in front of our very eyes – sleep.
Your body needs time to go into repair mode.
Think you have a crazy schedule? Your skin is way busier than you’ll ever be. During the day, skin actively fights off invaders. At night, it goes from protection mode to repair mode. In other words, while you’re getting some shuteye, your body is hard at work. Sleep is the body’s time to send fresh cells to the epidermis, rejuvenating old and damaged cells.
Just one all-nighter can result in dark circles and acne.
Since your body needs a full night’s rest to properly do its job, one late night can have immediate effects. There’s the obvious issue of shallow, dull skin and dark circles, but not getting enough sleep can also mean having to deal with increased breakouts. Bottom line: When you are tired, you look tired! Combat both issues using…
The less you sleep, the more likely you are to experience premature aging.
We’ve all been guilty of staying up every now and then, but an accumulation of sleep debt can become a serious problem. The body and skin are slower to recover from environmental stressors, skin’s barrier function is seriously compromised, collagen production slows significantly, and intrinsic skin aging increases. You might not be able to see these things at first, but eventually you’ll notice, whether it’s a breakout that seems to last forever or a sudden case of psoriasis.
Can’t fall asleep? Try these tricks.
Just as lack of sleep results in dull skin, good sleep habits are the secret to a glowing, hydrated complexion—basically, what every beauty lover wants. If you’re having trouble drifting off, try a few of the expert-approved tips we picked up:
- Work out late in the day or try doing yoga! It helps switch off the brain from work and school commitments.
- Take a bath with calming essential oils. Think chamomile, sandalwood, and ylang ylang.
- Head to your local Planet Beach! We offer RELAX services to help you unwind and enjoy an amazing 8 hours of sleep!
Now, put your best face forward, and get your beauty sleep!

This year, she came back for round two and made to the Top 5 once again, for 2015!
Let’s take a closer look into the life of LauRen!
Q: How did you hear about the Planet Beach Cover Model Competition? What inspired you to participate?
A: While I was using one of the Planet Beach spas in Miami, someone asked me if I was interested in the model search and thought I would be a good fit to represent the company. I have modeled for years but have always wanted to do something bigger than just taking a photo. I wanted to be the FACE of a product I believed in!
Q: What is your favorite Planet Beach spa service and why?
A: The Saunatox! I am a TRUE believer in relieving your body of bad toxins. I eat pretty organic and use products enriched with natural and organic ingredients, but nobody’s perfect and I do cheat. So, the Saunatox is exactly what I need to get back on track and feel great!
Q: What is your favorite Planet Beach product and why?
A: I would have to say the Indulge Instant meal! I replaced my old protein shakes with them as the caloric value was pretty comparable, if not better. The Indulge tasted better and had a lower glycemic index so I stopped getting that sugar crash an hour after I drank it.
Q: What are your goals as a Planet Beach Cover Model?
A: I think it’s imperative to show the world how important it is to take care of your mind and body. I plan to do that by merging my business savvy personality with my love for Planet Beach’s spas and products. This is a booming industry and I daydream about having the opportunity to run a Planet Beach of my own one day!
Q: Describe the Planet Beach company in three words.
A: Who needs 3? HEAVEN. Okay, okay, how about ALL. YOU. NEED.
Q: What is your most embarrassing moment? We all have one! (at least!)
A: Well, I love to dance and I do it sometimes to shake off jitters. Well I guess I shook off more than that. I was competing in a pageant when I was younger and about to go on stage for the Evening Gown competition and a pad in my dress came loose and fell out of the bottom. I tried to kick it off the stage before anyone saw but it was too late. Needless to say, I’ve sewn those bad boys in since then!
Q: What is your career aspiration?
A: To “have it all.” I have had a great broadcasting and modeling career and I am married to the man of my dreams, but I hope to one day be a successful entrepreneur and a “super” Mom!
Q: If you could have dinner with one figure in history and ask them any one question, who and what would it be?
A: One person that I’ve always been inspired by is Giuliana Rancic. She is an Italian American Broadcaster like myself but she has been through so much and has had the strength to share it with the world…from her marriage and having breast cancer to infertility and having a baby through a surrogate. I would ask her how she did it, while never losing herself or her career.

Thermal jade massage beds use the unique combination of the ornamental stone jade and infrared rays to lend numerous health benefits to the user.
Chiropractic benefits
Chiropractic is the science of healing discomfort in the bone joints and neuro-musculoskeletal system. Thermal jade massage beds provide chiropractic benefits such as relief from problems of the backbone, spine, muscular spasms and correction of vertebr
a alignment. These benefits are possible because the massage restores optimum blood flow, flushes out toxins, and soothes joints from within
Relaxation and stress relief
Spending some time on the thermal jade massage bed restores blood circulation and lends detoxifying effects. So, spend some time on it to relax and experience all your stress flow away. Besides, the infusion of pure oxygen ions into your system promotes cell regeneration. The tissues in your body are strengthened. Aging process retards. The cumulative effect of all these benefits is highly relaxing for your mind and body.
Acupressure benefits
Acupressure works on the principle of blocking and restarting the flow of energy in your body. Several health problems are cured when blood and energy flow in the body are optimum. Thermal jade massage beds provide similar benefits. The combination of pure oxygen ions and infrared radiation clears energy blocks and promotes general well being.
Improvement of immune system
Thermal jade massage increases white blood cell production by promoting cell rejuvenation in the body. As a result, the immune system of the body is stronger and more active.
Massage benefits
Thermal jade massage beds provide all the benefits that you experience in a massage parlor. Jade stones massage your body and promote the health of your musculoskeletal system, metabolism, nervous system and all vital organs of your body.
Have you ever tried Jade Stone Therapy? What are your thoughts?
Did you know that you can get a 50 percent decrease in the risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, when sunscreen is applied daily? (Source: Journal of Clinical Oncology) We all know how important it is in preventing premature wrinkles but for the sake of your health, wearing sunscreen is a must.
Here’s four things you need to know about sunscreen to ensure you’re getting the best protection for your skin.
1. Apply your sunscreen generously. In order for SPF to truly protect the skin and prevent the harmful UV rays from damaging the skin, the formula has to be applied generously or it will not provide adequate protection.
2. High SPF does not mean high protection. With so many companies launching high SPF number sunscreens, it creates a lot of confusion as to which number is the best in protecting the skin. Did you know that an SPF 30 offers only 4% more protection than an SPF 15 and an SPF 45 offers just 2% more? High SPF number sunscreens like an SPF 50 or 100 can give people a false sense of protection and therefore may not be applied generously enough to do its job
3. Sunscreen built into your foundation makeup is not enough. If you apply a regular non-SPF moisturizer to the face and then apply a foundation with an SPF over it, the sunscreen in the makeup has a difficult time penetrating through the moisturizer to effectively coat and protect the skin cells. Try to use a sunscreen moisturizer directly on the skin first to adequately deliver the specified SPF and then apply foundation makeup with sunscreen.
4. Sunscreens degrade from sunlight and your skin’s natural oil. Many sunscreen formulas degrade with exposure to UV light. The daily oil produced on the skin (especially on the nose which is the oiliest area of the face) can also cause sunscreen to breakdown. This is why reapplying sunscreen every few hours is so necessary.

If you’re seeking healthier, clearer and more beautiful skin, facials are a must. Here’s 8 reasons why!
1. Expert Skin Analysis
The benefits of getting your skin analyzed through professional facials are that your consultant will see you without makeup to reveal your true skin complexion. This allows the consultant to cater to your unique needs through professional treatments and suggest the best products for your home care routine.
2. Professional Strength Exfoliation…
The exfoliation is specifically catered towards your skin type so that it will leave you with results that smooth the skin, increase cellular turnover, soften lines, and break up skin discoloration to promote more even-toned skin.
3. Intensive Hydration
Every skin type needs hydration. It does not matter if you have oily, acne prone skin, or dry and flakey skin, your skin cells are like fish and need water to survive. In order to maintain healthy skin it is imperative to keep it hydrated. With oilier skin types, the face tends to produce more oil when moisture is lacking which is the opposite of your intention and need. Oily skin needs moisture, but the moisture it’s seeking is water, not oil. Hydrated skin is healthy skin and a facial will help to regulate the proper moisture level for whatever skin type you may be.
4. Increase Circulation to Encourage a Glow
There is no doubt that when blood circulation slows, the skin’s health is impaired. Aging leads to slowed circulation, which inevitably results in dull, tired looking skin. A benefit of facial massages and steam is that both processes help to increase blood flow and this increase in circulation brings new nutrients to the skin. The new nutrients in the skin allow and encourage a youthful radiance and glow to surface in the face.
5. Stress Release
Aside from the various skin benefits facials offer, facials are extremely relaxing and immediately de-stresses you physically and psychologically. Imagine a room with dim lighting, and soft music. Then add on a neck or shoulder massage. This is the ideal environment to completely relax and unwind, and it is the general description of a basic facial. Studies show that stress can lead to unhealthy skin, so what’s a better way to eliminate stress and promote healthy skin, than a facial?
6. Problem Solve
Whether it’s dry skin, brown spots, redness, irritation, or inflamed acne, a good facial is always customized to focus on what your skin needs to help solve your skin problems. If your skin is dry then he or she will suggest lipid increasing ingredients to repair your skin’s protective barrier to reduce dryness. Facials are always geared to problem solve and the level of your facial’s intensity is contingent on the severity of your skin’s problem. By using the right combination of ingredients, we can really create change in the skin to improve your skin’s appearance to achieve your greatest complexion.
7. Professional Advice
During your consultation, you have a chance to ask questions that you have been curious about. Part of getting a facial is receiving a lesson from experts, on how to care for your skin properly. This “lesson” includes which products will work best for your skin type and you will learn how to care for your skin at home so you can maintain the results of your facial.
8. Because You Deserve It!
Women tend to spend an exceptional amount of time caring for the people in their lives. Caring for the people you love is rewarding, but at times it can be mentally exhausting. Take just a couple of hours to yourself to do something that you won’t be required to share with anyone else. A facial is just for you and will give you time to re-energize and clear your mind. Nourish your soul and pamper your skin in just a few blissful hours at the spa down the street!
