PerfectSense Massage Lava Shells. Once tossed out as waste after the meat was removed, these Tiger-Striped Clam shells from the South Pacific have found a new purpose. Disposable, all-natural LavaGel sachets are placed inside the shell, keeping it warm for up to two hours. The kit comes with a botanical massage oil so that the shell can glide easily over sore, tense muscles. The Lava Shell is used in the Bliss Spa “Pedi Colada” foot treatment, which is coming to Scottsdale in late September (at last check). Watch out hot stones! Find Lava Shells retailers and services near you at www.sparevolutions.com. Kits are $19.95.
