Art of the Spa

  Give me a S-P-A!  What does that spell?  One key to feeling spa-wesome at home is to rock that body and have fun doing it!  So in honor of the Superbowl we’re bringing you a retro glamorous Cheer styled workout! Now I was a non-cheerleader in school (though I tried), so I was intrigued [...]

In honor of the Superbowl, we decided to ferret out sports arenas with spas.  Can you believe there are only two in the world? Let’s get on the ball, really owners, is this not the perfect place for ladies to lounge while hubs is taking in the game? First up: Spa LaQua at the Tokyo [...]

It’s the thought that counts true, but some gifts need more thinking than others – like those old standbys that well wishing friends and fam shower upon us.

The Izek Day Spa on Lakeshore in Oakland, CA decking it out a la disco with striking orchid lavender and silver palette – that tree is spa-velous!  Note the deer around the tree too cute!  How can you “spa”scape the area round yours?
