After hearing rave reviews about Myosymmetrix Therapeutic Massage, we had to see what all the hype was about. So, we sent resident massage missy Kari to check it out. Here’s what she dug up. When I arrived, my therapist Chad sat me down to discuss my stress-related body aches and what I hoped to heal […]
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.” […]
European Wax Center
With stick thin brows in need of some major help, I decided to put down the tweezers and turn my plucked disaster over to the professionals at European Wax Center. When I arrived for my brow wax, I quickly checked in with the front desk and waited on one of the lobby’s chairs until my […]

Skintopia
Because of its location in a medical complex, you might expect Skintopia to be clinical and cold. Not at all. Once co-owner Lorrie retrieved me from the office waiting room and led me to her studio, I was transported to a comfy zone of soothing brown and blue hues. My treatment du jour was the […]
Elements Therapeutic Massage
I’m a spa girl with a busy schedule — meaning my days don’t revolve around massages and facials — but instead, client meetings and to-do lists a mile long. So after I booked my 55-minute massage, I was thrilled to receive a confirmation email with the date, time, notification that I had a male therapist, […]
Massage Heights
We sent our massage aficionado SpaGirl Kari to get her knots kneaded at Massage Heights in Gilbert. Here’s her ahhh-some report. After a long weekend of events where I was on my feet in 116-degree weather, I was really excited to get the kinks worked out and experience some deep relaxation at Massage Heights. After […]
Pilates Corps
It’s not exactly the newest fitness fad and in fact, Pilates has been around for decades since first developed by Joe Pilates in the 1920s. But over time, instructors have refined the practice and developed a style that works with our modern lifestyles. Pilates Corps in Scottsdale is among several Pilates-centric studios and we sent […]
Salon Beauremy
Spa-girl-in-the-field Carolyn visited Salon Beauremy not one but two times (now that’s dedication!) to review their salon and skincare services. Here’s her glowing report! Vitamin C Facial Review Heather Madden specializes in medical-grade aesthetics combined with massage, relaxation and all-over skincare health. She is an expert in the treatments she performs and is extremely knowledgeable about […]
The Spa at L’Auberge de Sedona
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were in need of a short getaway and decided that Sedona was the perfect spot. The drive is just under two hours from the Phoenix area, and there are so many amazing places to stay. I chose L’Auberge de Sedona, mostly because the resort’s intimate cottages are […]
