I had a trip to Costa Rica for work, and so i was determined to tack on a couple of personal days and experience a spa. I was on a short timeline for a spa visit, and wanted something very unique to Costa Rica, so rather than opt for the beaches and any of...

Banyan Tree Spa (Singapore)
Of course, by now you know that I can’t go anywhere new without at least checking out one spa! So when I had a chance to head to Asia, specifically Singapore for the first time, I knew I needed to make time for a spa visit. I had searched out potential spas. My colleague...

Day Of Nothing
Phew – I survived Christmas! It has been 7 straight days of social commitments, errand, baking and cooking. And that’s on top o f all the social commitment and holiday parties all month long. I admit to feeling it in particular this year – maybe I am getting older, but all of the extra days...
Pure Inventions Product Review
I first discovered Pure Inventions at the Relache Spa at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. While being shown the Locker Room by the Attendant, she was pointing out the amenities and pointed out the spa water. She said that the water is flavored with Pure Inventions and every day they feature a new...
Live Spa, even at work

My friend, Mandy, a long-time vacationer to Nantucket, brought the Spa at the White Elephant Hotel to my attention. We were planning a long weekend visit in Nantucket, and she of course knew about my love of spas. It was a quick trip, and I wasn’t sure if I would squeeze it in. However, at...
Spa Sudeva (Tampa, FL)
Spa Sudeva is kind of a cool little day spa tucked away in a shopping center in Tampa. It has a very bright and cheery entry way and then it can be a bit of and adjustment to a darkened interior when you head back to the spa area. The only weird thing, is that...
Spa Waterside (Tampa, FL)
Sometimes its hard to find a good spa. Even though I look at all the sites – SpaFinder, TripAdvisor, Searches, Other Blogs Articles and Rankings, I am sometimes surprised by what comes rated fairly highly on those sites versus my own experience. I talked previously about a trip I was taking for work in Tampa,...
Green Juice
I love a good green juice. I think I first got inspired by visiting the Lodge at Woodloch. I saw on their breakfast menu they had a Kale, Spinach, Cucumber and Apple Juice. I had always been big on smoothies, although I never really put much dairy in those, just blended fruit and maybe some...
