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 […]
Aletris Center of Integrative Medicine
Ahhh it’s summer and time to bring on the dog days of sipping pina coladas poolside! But not so fast. Before we get carried away with fun in the sun, the ugly side of bikini season creeps up with a hairy reminder. Thankfully, we got word of a new bikini hair removal service that claims […]
Bravo Salon & Day Spa
We sent SpaGirl in the field Carolyn to Bravo for the much-touted Brazilian hair straightening process. We think her hair turned out super fab. But would she do it again? Here’s her behind-the-chair report. Upon my arrival at Bravo Salon, my hair was nothing short of a major disaster. As a natural brunette whose motto […]
The Spa at DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa
First, let’s be clear. I’m no gym rat. I have a series of unsubstantiated fears that range from dropping a weight on my forehead to flying off the treadmill and ending up in a heap in front of some super jock. And in this particular joint, I also have a fear of looking fat. So […]
VH Spa for Vitality + Health at Hotel Valley Ho
Okay, here’s my perfect spa day. I roll up into Hotel Valley Ho and relinquish my ride into the trusty hands of the handsome hotel valet attendant. I stroll into the hotel, through the airy lobby, the slinky lounge and into Cafe Zuzu where I plop down in a cozy nook. I throw back a […]
Denise Hurley Aesthetics & Laser
I recently visited Denise Hurley Aesthetics to get some help with a problem that was quickly becoming out of control — adult acne. After weeks of frustration with bumpy skin that wasn’t disguise-able with makeup, my favorite Arizona Spa Girl, Lisa, recommended that I pay a visit to Denise. As you know probably know from […]
Mais Oui Skincare
You so haven't had a facial until you've let Shannon, owner of Mais Oui Skincare in Scottsdale, take a crack of that mug of yours. She's a tiger when it comes to making sure every pore on your face has been purged of impurities. And she's also among the most sweetest, caring aestheticians I've had […]
Essential Touch Wellness Center and Boutique at Shea
Well now I’ve done just about everything! Before I go on, let me first tell you that I’m not a "naked" person — I don’t do massages, wraps or any other types of body treatments in the buff because I’m just too darn modest. So when the opportunity came up for me to try the […]
The Spa at Marriott’s Camelback Inn
If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that locals and snowbirds alike have long loved the Spa at Camelback Inn. But on our first visit to this landmark haven in 2001, we were less than impressed with the cliche southwestern decor and the harried service (although the treatments were fabulous). So with the […]
