You’ve seen it on the shelves of beauty stores and spa boutiques but imagine an entire store dedicated to the rich, almost edible world of philosophy. Good news! Not only has a new philosophy store opened its doors in the Valley but they want us and all our friends to come. Stop by the philosophy […]

So here’s the real story. It was a rare rainy day in late March and I was restless. I needed to shake things up and get the word out about Arizona’s rockin’ spa industry. Serendipitously, I came across Spa Week on the net. Having watched it pop up across the country from New York, to […]
