Simple Ways to Live Spa Everyday

August 18, 2016April 21, 2024

I do think one of things that makes a spa special is that it isn’t something that we get to do everyday.  So we don’t take it for granted, and we appreciate the indulgence that it is.  However, as every spa trip wraps up, i always think about ways to keep the experience alive and...

SPORTea Review

I always enjoyed  an Iced Tea at Lunch at the Tree Restaurant at the Lodge at Woodloch. It was a green tea, with some sweet flavoring to it.  I was very happily surprised to learn that it was not only a product that you could purchase, but one that is not proprietary and readily available....

Woodloch caught my eye by its rankings on the Top Destination Spas.  It my quest to hit all the Top Destination Spas (#SpaBucketList), I was deciding on which spa to try next after Mii Amo when I came across an offer for the Lodge at Woodloch on Rue La La. Woodloch is a different departure...

Coconut Surrender

July 26, 2016April 21, 2024

I remember reading an article back in 2010, entitled “The Coconut Craze” about the health and beauty benefits of coconut oil.  Of course since that time, we have all seen the coconut craze kick into full gear, especially in the health and diet space, as many diets such as Paleo, Whole 30 among others advocate...

Rescue Spa Rittenhouse (Philadelphia, PA)

Rescue Spa is a Philly institution. I was aware of the spa but first became really intrigued after an article in Philly Magazine.  In it the owner, Danuta Meiloch, was seated at the pedicure station.    Knowing that I was on a mission to visit as many spas as I could, especially in my home...

Spa at Hotel Hershey (Hershey, PA)

July 3, 2016April 21, 2024

My friend Kate and I had been talking about a girls’ weekend, which turned into a spa trip, and which turned into Hershey. I forget how it originally came up as our destination of choice. I think it had something to do with chocolate, and the fact that it was on my list of places...

Miraval (Tucson, Arizona)

July 3, 2016April 21, 2024

So given that I was working my way through a Top 10 List of Destination Spas, it was only a matter of time before I headed out to Miraval, in Tucson, Arizona. I was curious how Miraval compared to Mii Amo, as they are both consistently in the Top 10, and usually jockeying for position....

Samas Spa at Park Kenmare Hotel (Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland)

July 2, 2016April 21, 2024

As a hotel, the Park Kenmare Hotel is really nice, but you have to be used to the typical Irish, English and Country Manor turned hotel.   So, you have to know what you are getting into from an accommodations perspective. From the hotel, you walk down a hall to connect to the more modern spa...
