Art of the Spa

This New Year’s Eve wouldn’t it be amazing to be in Costa Rica at the Hotel Parador Resort & Spa?  You too could monkey around like this little guy:

Anika Organic Luxury spa treatment products sent me this gorgeous e-card. Just had to share – you can experience the line at top spas like Badrutt’s Palace in Switzerland & The Augustine in Prague!

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?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Here’s a little more turkish delight decor for today’s visual feast – featuring a seating area that could host a large family Turkey Day for sure!  Plus. check out the window “art” on the far right window – it’s painted on cloth so it can be shown on the fabric blinds and [...]

Happy Thanksgiving Week! We have more gorgeous spa vibing home spots from Turkey.  First, this eating area which makes every meal feel like a picnic!  The banquette is surrounded by windows and a huge skylight to get that inside/outside vibe!  If you don’t have the same setup at home, don’t worry – try surrounding your [...]
