The Best Day Spa: The Red Door Spa

While it is my ultimate goal to go to Mirval Spa in Arizona. 

I have found one spa that really "takes the cake" in terms of ambiance and the best in customer service. 

Several years ago, I thought I would treat my parent's to his and her day at the Red Door Spa, 5th Avenue flagship spa in Manhattan, but that didn't work out so they told me to use the gift certificates.

So, I booked several services starting with a message, facial, nails and feet and finished it off with a makeup refresher.

Yeah, I was there for the entire day, but that experience alone made me a customer for life.

 Why?? 
Was it because it was on 5th Avenue? Did I meet a celeb? 

No, no and nope! Several years ago I was obese and I was expecting less than stellar treatment from them, but that never happened.

The woman who gave me my message, knocked out every knot I had since ten years ago, she did not mention my weight, and I never felt bad about myself. 

Also, the waiting area was extremely relaxing, water, tea, and cranberry juice.

One good tip after a message you should always drink water this flushes out the toxins, that have been broken down during the message.

The facial, they exfoliated, and steamed my face so well, yet gentle that I didn't have any soreness or redness, and I looked radiant.

My favorite mani/pedi is the warm cream, they literally put warm cream on your feet and hands and do a quick message before applying the polish, excellent!

Lastly, the makeup refresher, the make-up artist who created a work of art with my face, told me about what type of colors would compliment my skin tone and under tones.

I know what about the MEN?? 

When I went there were several couples there as well as men, who were not "models."

In fact, I am so in love with this spa , that when I went to Atlantic City for a quick getaway, I booked a warm cream mani/pedi and it was delightful. 

My technician took great care of me, with cucumber and lemon water and warm cinnamon scented neck rest delightful. In fact the pedicure, was so relaxing that I fell asleep.

So, for a splurge for start of fall, the holidays, and the start of summer, I give you permission to a wonderful treat at The Red Door Spa.

Happy Spa Day!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and description, just

Men's Grooming : Luxury

NYFW Men is literally right in three weeks,  so how does a male model keep his hair camera ready? We did some research on the best products that would keep a man 's hair camera ready. Julien Farel Salon This salon has the best anti aging haircare products for men. They also do all of the models for the Nick Graham Show. Those models are the best! Martial Vivot We came across this salon on the side of MOMA in June for the annual French Wink   Father's Day Event. This salon has the best hair care products in terms of being all natural. The manager explained to me  mass market products are okay, but as a man ages the harshness of the products causes premature hair loss. Wow! Who knew... They also sell their products at Barney 's, in addition to the salon. John Allen Salons They have the coolest vibe in Saks,  in terms of high profile salon. To get that ultimate surfer look the pomade is amazing with out being heavy or greasy. For luxury hair care service and products,
