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 + […]

StudioMixx Body Sculpting System
Always up for a challenge, I recently signed myself up for a StudioMixx Body Sculpting class and honestly, I get a little sore just thinking about it. I would consider myself active and in decent shape but this class truly kicked my butt – in a good way. If you enjoy a vigorous workout and welcome […]
Lash Extensions by Cresent of My Permanent Makeup AZ
I used to be seriously jealous of actresses and models who would show off the latest mascaras — their lashes are always ridiculously long and luscious — and when I would try the mascara they were marketing, I definitely did not get the same result. Then I met Cresent Gibbons of My Permanent Makeup AZ, […]

VH Spa for Vitality + Health at Hotel Valley Ho
Deep Stress? Try the Deep Six Massage at the VH Spa. As a soon-to-be-bride (3 weeks and counting, ahh!), I have been so stressed out that I can feel a tight line of knots across my back in between my shoulders. Not good. I decided it was time for a massage, but not just any […]
Par Exsalonce Salon & Day Spa
Spa Girl Olga made her way to Par Exsalonce for a head to toe nail transformation. Here's her glowing report! I have a bad case of dry skin which I generally like to refer to as alligatoritis (it’s scaly, it’s itchy, it’s no fun at all!), so when Donna Parr, owner of the super luxurious […]

Elements Massage Central Scottsdale
Being the massage-lover that I am, I’ve had more than my fair share of good, great, bad and just plain weird massages. My massage at Elements Massage Central Scottsdale was by far one of my best experiences so far. Last week, after getting a bright-and-early 4 a.m. start; I was feeling super tired and mega sore. […]
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 […]

We’re so fortunate living in the Valley of the Sun, with so many amazing resorts with even more uh.may.zing spas. And, what better way to spend a lovely Arizona day than at a beautiful Scottsdale spa? A few weeks ago, I was due for a much-needed facial and a bit of de-stressing, so I decided […]
