August 26th, 2010I am a sucker for anything miniature: travel-size beauty products, Maurice Sendak’s Nutshell Library, Mini Cocottes from Le Creuset. So maybe that’s why I find Uncommon Goods’ Bonsai Forest so charming. The leaves look invitingly soft, and they even change color in the fall. I think it would be an especially lovely gift to mark a new beginning.
August 26th, 2010I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Primland Resort—a 12,000-acre luxury retreat near Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains—for the opening of the property’s new spa. Although my idea of a spa getaway typically includes white sand, turquoise waters, and lots of palm trees, a visit to Primland definitely convinced me that escaping to the mountains can be an equally rejuvenating experience. (More: See photos from my trip to Primland) The Native American-themed spa is a collaborative effort...
August 25th, 2010In case you didn't know, Spa's editorial office is in San Francisco, California. And, as beautiful as this city is, the weather during the summer can be a little cold and depressing.

August 19th, 2010I know I need to drink more water, but it’s just so … boring. Add a little fruit a la spas, though, and it’s much more appealing. This Infusion Pitcher from Crate and Barrel makes it even easier since you can refill the pitcher without having to cut up new fruit each time. I bet a little mint and cucumber would be amazingly refreshing on these summer days.
August 18th, 2010Vacationing with family can be fun. But sometimes it can be stressful, a little tiring, and hectic. Have you ever come home from a family vacation feeling like you needed another separate vacation just to recover? If you have, then consider getting away with one of your best girlfriends (the no-stress vacation option). Get her to pack her bags for Bermuda for a Girlfriends' Getaway at Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa and enjoy 3-nights of total relaxation. Deal: Girlfriends' Getaway at...
August 12th, 2010If you’ve been reading Spa’s blog, then you already know about Wanderlust—an annual four-day yoga and music festival that most recently took place July 29 - August 1 in Squaw Valley, California, near Lake Tahoe. And while this year’s Wanderlust brought musicians like Moby and Bassnectar to the stage, the real action was happening on the mat at the 40-plus classes held each day. I was able to join in on all the Wanderlust fun, and here are some of the things I learned while there: * The yoga...
