August 9th, 2010Recently, while shopping at the Westfield Centre in downtown San Francisco, I noticed a new skincare store and had to pop in. Throughout the beautiful boutique, I saw a variety of interesting products as well as signage with the Cosmébio and Ecocert logos. (For more on these classifications, check out Spa’s label guide.) Aside from the array of beauty products, I also noticed an abundance of honey. A half dozen mouthwatering varieties, including lavender honey and orange tree honey, were...

August 5th, 2010These glasses and carafes are just a few of my favorites from Canvas, a site featuring housewares and furniture sourced from artisans around the globe. The pieces, which are made of sustainable materials, tend to be very organic in shape and color, but if you like a bit more glitz, there’s something for you, too. Be sure to check out the Dauville Gold-Brushed Bowls and Recycled Crystal Chair.

August 2nd, 2010Today's post is from Lori B. Rosen, who writes Spa's Zodiac Therapy. Tuesday 8/3: Taurus' moon squares off with Leo’s sun.

Friday 8/6: Cancer’s watery moon squares off with Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. Utilize this lunar...
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...
