A peaceful retreat that merges fitness with pure indulgence. The Spa at Gainey Village wins the wow award hands down. In front of this almost intimidating building was a not-so-little fellow glazed in bronze, sittin’ fit and lookin’ relaxed. Possibly a sign of my fate for the day. Not a bad outlook, I decide. First item […]

Tocasierra Spa, Salon and Fitness at Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort
Tocasierra Spa & Salon located on the sprawling property of Squaw Peak Pointe Hilton Resort is not your typical, everyday hotel spa. Upon my arrival, I was greeted warmly by the spa director and staff which immediately made me feel at ease. After giving me a tour of their newly remodeled, upscale digs, I was […]
Simply Ravishing – The Salon
This is a story about a true Princess experience – no joke! A few weeks ago, I went out to check out Simply Ravishing – The Salon, a new modern day spa in Gilbert to experience what all the buzz was about. Located in a quiet shopping center in Phoenix’s East Valley, Simply Ravishing feels […]

I’ve got great news, Spa Girls (and guys if you’re out there). This town has some amazingly talented hair stylists who don’t charge an arm and a leg and your first born. It just takes some work to find them. Case in point, Miranda of Chroma Salon Studio in Scottsdale. Her studio is tucked in the North […]

Sedona Spa at Los Abrigados Resort & Spa
I've been a long time fan of Sedona Spa at Los Abrigados Resort & Spa. It's a great place to take a yoga class, sit in the jacuzzi and then go for a facial, massage or body wrap. Until recently, it's been one of the only finer spas in town, so these guys have been […]
Vanity on Mill
Ah, the never ending shaving, waxing and plucking. Thanks to technology, these necessary evils in every girl’s beauty routine now have a magic eraser, laser hair removal. Scarier sounding than it actually is, I stopped by Vanity on Mill for an underarm laser hair removal session. Here’s the full report and I have to tell […]
Twisted Scissors
With dark roots and straggly split ends, I desperately needed a partial highlight and cut with stylist Lauren Young. Upon my arrival to the boutique salon, I sunk into one of their comfy styling chairs, took my brassy blond hair out of a ponytail holder and gave Lauren a look that screamed “please help me.” […]
