November 25th, 2009It’s always nice to get an expert’s opinion. Recently I had an appointment at Spa Villagio in Napa Valley for a facial, and I had chosen Active Pureness ($145, 50 minutes), which is designed to deeply cleanse the skin.

I have to say that I totally appreciated this feedback. Going to the spa is like being in...

November 5th, 2009Spa's editorial offices are in San Francisco, so I see a lot of people on bikes as I walk to work. They're brave, weaving in and out of traffic, racing through the fog. Biking to work—if you can do it—is good for the environment and it's great exercise. But, depending on where you live, it might not be so easy to do. Check out this transparency from GOOD magazine. It lists the cities that have the highest percentage of bike commuters. Is yours on there? Ours is. And it's inspiring me to dust...
