SIGN UP FOR SPA IN YOUR INBOX
July 30th, 2010We love relaxing spa vacations where the most exhausting thing we do all day is move from the massage table to the pool. But sometimes we're in the mood for more. We want the spa time, but we also want time in the outdoors. We want an escape that offers rock climbing and massages. And we can't think of a better place than Jackson Hole, Wyoming to have that sort of vacation. Good thing Hotel Terra is offering such a fantastic spa package. Package: Body & Soul Package Details: Offer is based...
July 30th, 2010Recently I was fortunate enough to escape to Carmel Valley for a Lavender Harvest Celebration Lunch at Bernardus Lodge. In addition to enjoying an amazing feast that was hosted by the hotel’s renowned Marinus restaurant and that featured the handiwork of its eponymous winery, I had the opportunity to learn all about lavender and make my own body oil with the help of the husband-and-wife team behind Ajne Organic Perfumery. I tried to squeeze in some photos during all the fun so I could share the...
July 29th, 2010In my opinion, there are very few things as beautiful as Lake Tahoe, California in the summer and early fall—the blue of the lake, the green of the trees ... So if you aren't heading in that direction this weekend for Wanderlust, consider a late September trip for the Lake Tahoe Wellness Weekend at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa & Casino. The weekend promises lots of fitness, health, and beauty advice from experts, as well as some enjoyable spa time. Retreat: Lake Tahoe Wellness...
July 29th, 2010So often eco-friendly kitchen items can lack pizzazz, but these Core Bamboo products are sure to add a cheery pop of color to any table. Not only is the line made of organic and sustainably harvested bamboo, but the company is socially responsible, too. I’m loving the chip and dip set (that might be because I have guacamole on the brain), but really the bowls, salad servers, and trays are so fun, it’s hard to choose.
July 28th, 2010The No.1 reason I'm unable to go on all the fabulous vacations that I daydream about? Flights can be so unbelievably expensive! But if the cost of a flight is keeping you from a great destination spa experience this summer, don't let it! Miraval in Tucson, Arizona wants you to visit so badly, they're willing to pay for your flight. Book a 4-night all-inclusive stay and they'll credit you the cost of your flight up to $500. Here are the awesome details: Deal: Fly Free Details: Book a minimum 4-...
July 28th, 2010If you are a fan of the HBO series True Blood, then you already know that vampire blood has a number of rejuvenating benefits. But apparently human blood has its own superpowers too. Riding on the popularity of True Blood, Twilight, and their much beloved creatures of the night, a FDA-approved facial treatment dubbed the "vampire facelift" is getting a lot of attention both in the media and in medi-spas. The procedure involves an injection of Selphyl—a combination of a patient’s own blood...
July 27th, 2010We love a good getaway with the girls, but sometimes a trip with just Mom is even more enjoyable. If you want to spend a few days with your mom, eating healthy foods and getting a little jump start to your fitness routine, then take a look at this offer from The Oaks at Ojai. Deal: Mother/Daughter Special Details: Each daughter sharing a room with Mom will receive 40% off nightly rates. Stay includes healthy, low calorie spa cuisine meals, a wide variety of fitness classes and...
July 26th, 2010Who doesn't like to get things for free? And a free night at a destination spa is about as good as it gets because it means more time to relax. Book at least a three-night stay at Lake Austin Spa Resort between now and next March and you'll get a free night or two. Deal: Restore More, Free Nights Details: Book a three night stay and receive one additional night free; book four or more nights and stay two additional nights free. Dates: August 1, 2010 - March 9, 2011 Cost:...

July 26th, 2010Most of us wish we had longer, fuller lashes, and many of us wish we had darker, more shapely eyebrows. And who can blame us?

The Professional Faux Lashes allow you to add volume and length to existing lashes using just a bit of latex free adhesive. Two lengths are included in the package so that you...
