[NOW] Time to Spa-aaah
My favorite month (other than my birth month, natch,) has expanded into eight full weeks of bliss: Miami Spa Month. Pamper yourself at Miami’s top spas throughout July & August for a fraction of the cost, with treatments priced at just $99. Some of my favorites include the Skin Radiance Facial at Acqualina Resort & Spa, which will leave your skin smoother and brighter, (an alternative to a 10-day vacay if you ask me,) and the Beach Body Buff treatment from ELLE Spa Miami, a full-body scrub down that’ll give you baby soft skin that’s hydrated and glowing. Visit http://www.MiamiSpaMonth.com for a list of participating spas.
[WEDNESDAY] Blo Bonus
Beat the hump day blues with a fresh Blo out, and get a gift in return! Blo Blow Dry Bars across the US are now offering a complimentary one-year subscription to InStyle, Essence and/or People en Español with your Blo purchase of $45 or more. Want to try something new for the weekend? Check-in with my girls at Blo Midtown and ask for a sassy braided style; once you get sick of the ‘do you can take it down and rock mermaid waves. Now that’s a two-fer!
