Chick of the Sea from Honeycat Cosmetics
I can’t think of anything cuter than the Spa Cat curled up in a corner, his fluffy white tail tucked under his pink nose and his little body purring with contentment. Awww. It’s enough to make me forget that each and every morning at 5:17 a.m. sharp, he beckons in the day with a blood-curling […]
Born on a Better Day: The Wei of Olay
For those of you who dabble in astrology, you must read “Born on a Rotten Day,” by Hazel Dixen-Cooper. It’s a romp into the dark and ugly side of your astrological sign. It’s hysterical, sharp and brutally insightful. I’m a cancer. A loving, kind and gentle creature with a soft center and a warm heart. […]
Talking Dirty: Deep Clean with Clays and Muds
Except for that time that you traipsed it across your momma’s clean floors, a little mud never hurt anyone. Especially when it’s slathered, lathered and splattered across your body. Clay and mud treatments are a staple of the spas and you’d be surprised to know just how much dirt (the good kind) gets mixed up […]
Animal Farm Rescue: Farmaesthetics Lavender Milk

Taking the Cake: Spa Chocolat from Not Soap Radio

Chocolate cake. But tomorrow is not my birthday and back on a sensible eating plan I will go. Sigh. […]
Unplug with LaLicious Wild Blackberry Body Butter

Italian Beauty Bag
Oh sure, my SpaGirl cohort and fabulously cleaver marketing maven jets off to the Cosmoprof Bologna beauty show in Italy, leaving me here to pine away for the exotic air of some romantic foreign locale. She better bring back some good loot is all have to say. Meantime, struck with a case of wanderlust myself, […]

Move over Barbie, there’s a new cat in town. And this internationally adored cultural icon is playing hardball when it comes to sniffing pretty.

Hawaii in a Box: Malie Kauai Bath and Body Collection
If you ever wondered where I find out about all these yummy spa products, well… I’ll tell ya but it’s our secret. Yes, I do occasionally venture away from the safety of my office computer and recently wandered the International Spa Association (ISPA) conference showroom floor in Las Vegas. And one exhibitor that drew me […]
