Prana Mattresses Prove To Be a Life Changer

/in /by

The Ellwanger Estate B&B has “AWAKEN THE ENERGY OF LIFE” with it’s transformation to Prana Mattresses. They have proven to be a life changer!

And we agree (along with our guests) with what “PranaSleep” has to say: The essence of sleep lies in its restorative powers. Sleep can ease away the effects of the day with nightly regeneration, boosting immunity and replenishing every cell. But deep sleep often escapes us. We awake, but unrested.

The spine is the body’s core of strength, health and vitality. Prana is the life energy that flows through the spine, branching into the nervous system and recharging us from head to toe, sole to soul.

The positioning of the spine during sleep is critical to the free flow of prana. PranaSleep® sets are designed to create pure comfort and offer cradling, conforming support. By keeping the spine in its natural position, PranaSleep sets allow for the free flow of life’s energy and provide a deep, restorative night’s sleep.

Sleep Deeply, Live Well. The ancients honored the mysteries of sleep and its mystical powers of dream. Each awakening, a new beginning, a new day, and cause for celebration. Today, experts recommend evening rituals to prepare for sleep, enhancing not just our perception of the nightly experience, but the truly restorative abilities of our bodies at rest.

Sleep Deeply, Live Well, at the Ellwanger Estate B&B!

Sketchy Marriage Proposal Rocked

The perfect marriage proposal with the element of surprise!

Huffington Post featured an article titled: This Disc Jokey’s Sketchy Marriage Proposal Rocked

As a disc jockey, Scotty Brooks is used to playing up the element of surprise.

He perfected it in a marriage proposal for his girlfriend Dianne that can best be described as sketchy.

Brooks, a DJ for 100.5 The Drive in Rochester, had an ingenious idea to propose to Dianne via a caricature artist.

“I was trying to think of something different to do [for a proposal], said Brooks, who has dated Dianne for about three years. “She has a love of pictures and things to hang up on the wall so I asked myself ‘What can I do so she has a physical memory of that day?”

Brooks came up with his caricature idea and then got sneaky.

He found the perfect spot to propose — the gardens of the historic Ellwanger Estate in Rochester — and found a caricature artist who was willing to play along. The caricature artist was Dave Bippy Boyer from Rochester, NY.

But, how could he explain to Dianne that a caricature artist would randomly be waiting for them at the gardens when they arrived for a Sunday stroll?

He couldn’t.

So he told her his radio station was offering free caricatures that day for all Clear Channel Media employees and their families as a promotion. He also told his co-workers his plan so they could play along if she asked them about the caricatures.

Dianne fell for it.

The couple arrived for their “scheduled” sit down with the caricature artist and posed for fifteen minutes as he sketched them — adding a big ring and a “Will you marry me?” bubble.

They were the longest fifteen minutes of Brooks’ life and then, were followed by the longest ten seconds as the artist presented the sketch to them and Dianne looked at it not quite comprehending.

“Are you serious?” she finally asked.

When Brooks answered by getting down on one knee, she knew the answer.

And he already knew hers.

See more photos of the proposal here on Brooks’ blog. The entire process was photographed by the artist’s wife for “promotional purposes.”

Guess Who Came to the Ellwanger ?

While ALL my guests are famous, I simply couldn’t resist posting this one!  Thank you Gerry Szymanski (http://gerryszymanski.com) for taking this photo during one of the many Rochester’s Image Out receptions, held annually at the Ellwanger Estate.

Yep, John Waters (https://www.facebook.com/JohnWatersFanPage).  He was hilarious and so was his one-man show, “A John Waters Christmas”.  The New York Times wrote: “Like a wayward Santa for the Christams obsessed, legendary filmmaker and raconteur John Waters rides into town on his sleigh full of smut (December 2012) spreading yuletide cheer with his critically acclaimed one-man show, A John Waters Christmas”.
