AHHHH Spa Week Is COMING!!! Yay! Fashiontribes LOVES Spa Week: Fashiontribes.com Beauty Buzz Blog!

Spring means the end of this tedious, tiresome, icky weather. Aren’t you tired of it? I am!! Give me sunny warm days where I can laze by the pooll ( or would if I had one).  Maybe I need a vacation? Would love to take one but my fave spot in Kauai –or any part of Hawaii  lately– has had more than their fair share of rain and ugly weather too. So much for getting a poolside massage in a cabana being  cooled by tropical breezes (more like tropical monsoons right now).

So what’s a girl– or a guy– to do when they are feeling  blah, bleck, just tired? Get pampered!! Head to a spa and book an appointment.   No rolling eyeballs or shaking heads allowed!! You can afford this and get stellar treatment thanks to  SPA WEEK!  What?? You haven’t heard about Spa Week?  Darlin’ where have you been?

Spa Week is April 17-23 throughout the greater Southern California area if you happen to be in LA but you can find Spa Week in cities around the country: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and San Francisco.  Sponsored by Allure Magazineand a slew of other brands including Jane Iredale, Carneros Inn, Xela, Spa Chicks, Ebay and LOTS more brands, it’s all about taking care of yourself.

Every single spa listed is fantastic and you can contact them directly with the 411 provided on the website to find out what the specials are at that particular spa. It’s worth doing one, two or even three treatments for what could be the cost of one fab facial on any other week. Here’s some important information:

Book in advance–and mention spa week and the treatment offered/listed on the website
Request a male or female therapist if there is a preference at time of booking.
If you must cancel, do so at least  24 hours ahead of your appointment time. Ask the spa for their policy to be safe.
Show up about 20 minutes early wearing casual attire and little to no jewelry.
Don’t eat for an hour before the treatment but do stay hydrated!
Avoid alcohol consumption that day.
Turn off that cell phone!!!
Drink plenty of water post treatment.
Gratuity isn’t included and should be about 15-20% of the original treatment cost. 

So treat yourself well.. Live a little, indulge yourself and be pampered. You won’t have been on vacation but you will feel like you have.

See you at Spa Week!
