Spa-Experience

Little Darlings
 
Women of Baltimore, hear my cry. Mine is a plea that, I guarantee you, is echoed all over America by thousands of frustrated spa employees, massage therapists and aestheticians. Please, we beseech you. Do not bring your children to your spa appointment.
Why is it inappropriate? Allow me to explain…

Q. Why shouldn’t I bring my child to a spa appointment?
A. There are myriad reasons why bringing your offspring along to your eyebrow wax is a bad idea. [Read more →]

Get in the game

Your Day, Etc.
COST: Membership fees are customized to each client. 
FITNESS FACTOR: 4.5 stars
FUN FACTOR: 4 stars

It isn’t often that I stumble upon a completely unique fitness experience, but I did last week. I checked out Your Day Extraordinary Transformation Center, a new gym and spa rolled into one very awesome building.

Your Day was created by Day Adeogba (brother of former Atlanta Falcon Siddeeq Shabazz), who is one of the most enthusiastic gym owners I have ever met. Actually, he would be mad at me for calling him a “gym” owner. He refers to his gym as the “stadium,” members are “athletes,” and he and the other trainers are “coaches.” When you come into Your Day, you’re practicing and training to get better at the game of life. How? By getting fit and healthy and having six-pack abs, you will inevitably be a better employer, parent, friend, spouse, etc. (Well, I don’t know if the six-pack abs actually help, but Day let me feel his, and that made me a happier person.)

This concept isn’t a new one—if you’re healthy and balanced, it makes sense that you’re able to [Read more →]

Cool-as-a-cucumber spa treatment

 
Cool-as-a-cucumber spa treatment
If this is the way we could keep cool all summer, then we say bring on the heat!

Daireds Salon and Spa Pangea in Arlington now offers a delicious-sounding Thai Honey Cucumber Facial. We haven’t tried it yet, but here’s how the spa describes what happens during 60 minutes of what sounds to us like spa heaven: “Thai honey and freshly squeezed lime juice are combined and applied during a 15-minute facial massage . . . the acid in the lime juice naturally exfoliates and lifts up the dead skin cells. After the honey and lime massage, the face is cleansed with warm towels, and a mask of fresh cucumber slices are applied to the entire face, neck and decolletage to cool and tighten the skin, reduce any skin irritation and replenish moisture. The cucumber mask remains in place while the esthetician massages the hands, arms and scalp. The facial concludes as the cucumber slices are removed and a toner is applied again, followed by a moisturizer and sunscreen.”

The facial costs $95 and is available year-round, by appointment.

How do you relax?
What time off means to those who pamper and provide leisure

It could be the massage table, the golf course or the warm foot bath at the spa.
