July 1st, 2010The Eldorado Hotel & Spa, a four-diamond luxury hotel in Santa Fe, NM, is making this a summer to remember: they've reopened The Old House restaurant and they're luring travelers with a luxurious spa getaway package. I've been wanting to visit Santa Fe for years ... Consider me tempted!

June 30th, 2010I’m always struggling to find ways to decorate my walls because I’m not a big art person. The Talisman Mirror Collection from VivaTerra not only looks great but may just bring some good vibes into your home: The mango wood frames (which come in natural wood or whitewashed finishes) are carved to resemble ancient amulets. I especially like that the mirrors are antiqued, so you get some of the glitz of a reflective surface but in a much warmer, softer way.
June 30th, 2010When the summer months roll around, most of us start thinking about tropical, beach-centric vacations. But what about the mountains? Resorts that typically cater to skiers and snowboarders can offer tremendously good deals during the warmer months and opportunities to try all kinds of outdoor activities. Don't believe us? Check out all that Stowe Mountain Lodge in Stowe, Vermont has to offer: golf, horseback riding, fishing, and an awesome package deal that includes gift certificates to the spa...
June 30th, 2010I’m on Week 3 of a 4-week test of the Lotus Wei Inspired Action elixir, a mix of five flower essences designed to inspire creativity, enhance motivation, and foster spiritual insight. Last week, I blogged about some of the more subtle changes I had noticed since I started taking the flower essences. And while I have yet to move to India and join an ashram, I did spend last weekend unpacking those boxes. Week 3 Results: Ultimately my biggest problem this week has been...
June 29th, 2010While killing time in London's Heathrow Airport in May, I stumbled across the first airport location of Rituals, which opened in February. Before last month, I was unfamiliar with this Netherlands-based chain that operates throughout Europe. The Rituals store was a soothing place to spend a few minutes browsing, especially after a nine-hour flight. According to founder Raymond Cloosterman, the company was designed to provide a "journey for the senses" through wares inspired by authentic...

June 24th, 2010The Napa Valley is a beautiful area of California to visit in the summer—there's the wine (of course) as well as plenty of opportunities to enjoy warm weather and all sorts of outdoor activities. And there are spas! Plenty of spas ... In fact, The Lodge at Sonoma Renaissance Resort & Spa is currently offering a $20 discount on one of their 75-minute spa packages for any guests staying during the month of July. Here are the details: Deal: $20 off 75-minute spa package Details: The package...
June 24th, 2010I picked up this Leather Mahogany soy candle from Kobo a few weeks ago and have been sniffing it obsessively ever since. As the name suggests, it’s slightly masculine, but not overly so. A white musk balances the leather, which is more club chair than Western saddle—sort of what I imagine my dream library would smell like as I spun along the books on one of those rolling ladders. As an added bonus, the packaging is lovely, and long matches are included. It would make a perfect host/hostess or...
June 23rd, 2010We are in a seriously giving mood these days! Yesterday it was nail polish, slimming solutions, and an eyescreen ... and today we're giving away a really interesting duo of products from Phytomer. The Sun Serenity Pre/Post Sun Exposure Duo consists of one pre-exposure serum, which you use morning and evening for one week before embarking on a vacation to a sunny destination, and a post-exposure serum, which you use morning and evening for one week after returning home from the trip. The...
