Part of Dr. No was filmed at the Sans Souci resort in Jamaica which, lucky for us, is still in business! It’s now a couples retreat, perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up!, and we went undercover to bring you a taste of the resort . . . plus a few ideas for bringing it home! [...]
A few weeks ago, I received the ultimate invitation (ok aside from maybe a dinner invite from Justin Timberlake!), a chance to take place in a global sparty hosted by Four Seasons! My destination? The Beverly Wilshire Hotel (better known as the Pretty Woman hotel) . . . Santa came early! After a meet and [...]
With Thanksgiving upon us (and a whole lotta rain here in Cali), we decided to go see Tower Heist with Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller (always so fun!), Tea Leoni and Alan Alda. I’d classify Tower Heist as a cross between Wall Street, 48 Hours, and Night at the Museum. It’s a comedy about a rich baddie [...]
I adore browsing local drug stores, pharmacies, chemists, whatever the local beauty & health purveyors are called where I’m traveling. It’s like a pampering playground! On Sunday’s Pan AM, Kate was scheduled to make only 1 pickup in Rangoon . . . but, I think she, being the glam stewardess she is, should have made [...]
I’m typically not a fan of long nails, but with these works of art, the more the better! I’d love to try a DIY version of this using flower beads for the 3d effect! Swoon!
On our Japanese spa tour, we mentioned two body treatments at the Four Seasons Chinzan-so that use ingredients used more for cooking than beauty! We couldn’t resist trying our hand at creating our Art of the Spa versions of these treats, enjoy!: Sake Clay Cocoon 1. Dry brush your body using a natural bristle brush [...]
After reading a few so-so reviews of SuperSmile’s Whitening Pre-Rinse (a wash that you rinse your mouth with BEFORE you brush), I was a little leery, but a www.beauty.com sale tempted me – plus I just love anything that makes my pearly whites (which decidedly tend to go pearly, um, yellow!) prettier. I’ve always been [...]
To conclude our week at La Sultana, I wanted to introduce you to a line of beauty treatments I recently discovered. There is a tree grown only in southwest Morocco called the Argan tree. The oil from this tree is jam packed with vitamin e & omega 3s and is a Moroccan beauty secret. And [...]
Chiva Som has an entire treatment series devoted to the use of aloe. I already love playing with aloe vera juice to create new DIY spa treats so I buy it by the gallon from The Vitamin Shoppe. Many people swear drinking it helps digestive problems, but I tried and nearly gagged! I’ll stick to [...]
Did you ever notice how Indian women have the most luxurious shiny hair? We’re going to give your hair it’s own retreat right now with an easy version of Ananda Spa’s Hot Oil treatment. And with all this indoor heating, who’s locks aren’t losing their lustre just a bit? 1. Combine the three herbal essences [...]
