Massage Envy to the rescue! Massage Envy is a lifesaver. It was a 4:00 on a Friday afternoon and my neck was so wracked that is was permanently cocked to one side. If I moved the wrong way – pow – a ping of pain. It’s the same ol’ story: poor posture + stress + […]
Space Massage
Arcadia’s hidden space for therapy that fuses traditional and Thai massage. Meticulously perfect. That is my best description of Space in Phoenix. As I parked on the street in front of Space Massage Studio, directly adjacent to massage therapist John Hill’s home, I immediately got a sense of familiarity. After all, two of my favorite […]
Abloom MedSpa
Can SmoothShapes really zap that cellulite? Read on! Ever had one of those days when you put on a pair of shorts or a swimsuit, looked at yourself in the mirror and thought “ugh, that could be toned, that should be gone, and that just isn’t right.” I know I have. When I have those […]
Mane Attraction Salon
Our Spa-Girl-in-the-field Olga surrendered her ponytail to the competent hands of Mane Attraction salon’s star cutter. Here’s her tale!

Desert Blossom Salon & Boutique
I have a case of long-hair syndrome. I’ll be the first to admit it. After committing one of those “my life just changed drastically and so I need to change my hair just as much” faux pas and cutting my lower-back touching locks up to my shoulders, I went through a time where I couldn’t […]
Blue Door Spa Suite at The Hermosa Inn
Blue Door Spa Suite at The Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley is truly the boutique hideaway it claims to be, in everything from the stunning views of Camelback Mountain to the authentic Arizona decor. Its one-of-a-kind charm and intimate elegance made me yearn for a getaway all while providing a comforting feeling of home. I […]
Scottsdale Hand and Foot Spa
You never know what to expect when you walk into a nail salon the first time. Scottsdale Hand and Foot Spa at the Shops at 94th and Shea was a pleasant surprise. It was a Thursday afternoon and the joint was hopping. Blanketed in warm colors and a tropical décor, the salon was exceptionally spacious […]
Bliss Scottsdale at the W Hotel
I’ve been waiting for this little nugget of Bliss since I first heard it was swinging our way more than two years ago. In fact, I wrote a little ditty about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. An Ode to Bliss: Oh sassy little BlissGirl. You with your beguiling smile and your cutesy treatment […]
Deseret Aesthetic & Lifestyle Institute
Microcurrent Facial Sculpting. Sounds a little scary, huh? As a mere intern new to the spa world I was slightly nervous about what I was getting myself into. Deseret Aesthetic sits within a quiet medical plaza and looks and feels like a cozy day spa. Upon my arrival I was greeted warmly by Molly Nelson, […]
