If you are looking for an excuse to pamper yourself, what could be better than $50 services at high end spas? This could not have come at a better time for everyone, go to the Spa Week website and see participating Day Spas in your state. 
I had the most amazing facial the other day, from an old friend no less! Renée Rouleau is a trusted skin-care expert who has been helping women attain healthy, glowing, beautiful skin for more than 20 years but I discovered her over 10 years ago when I was still living in LA. She had a small skin care salon in Dallas at the time and it was an oasis for me when I would visit my husband (fiance at the time). I would often visit for weeks at a time and the intense dry heat of Texas was brutal on my skin but Renée's facials made sure I glowed no matter what! We lost touch through the years and I re-discovered her while watching ABC's Good Morning Texas where she was featured as a skin care guru. I shouted to my husband, "hey! That's Renee!" I contacted her right away and discovered she has been very busy the past few years. In addition to expanding her salons (she now has two locations)-- she has also developed a complete line of skincare! (I am testing out several of her best sellers right now, will give you full review next week)
Her latest masterpiece, Synergy 7, is a state-of-the-art, luxurious facial offered exclusively at the Renée Rouleau Skin Care Salons in Plano and Dallas, Texas. In addition to her Dallas clients, Renee's proven results have earned her the confidence of celebrities such as Lisa Rinna, Eva Amurri, Cheryl Ladd, Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson, as well as cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists, who often refer their patients to Renee after cosmetic skin procedures.
"Renée Rouleau's products are fabulous!" says actress Lisa Rinna.

I checked out a MedSpa for the first time the other day! I went to an event at TriBeCa MedSpa and I have to say I felt a lot like one of the Real Housewives of Orange County getting the tour of the space where you can get anything from Botox to Medical Pedicures to Laser Hair removal, along with a bunch of other heavy-duty services. The spa has won countless accolades and was voted #1 MedSpa by Day Spa Magazine. They gave-out an interesting little document they put together with the Must-Have Bridal Beauty Services for various age groups that I thought some of you might be interested in:) Note, that I myself have never tried these treatments, so feel free to comment with your insights! I did get to try 2 products that I loved though --
*Oil Free Sun Block SPF 30 ($36 for 4oz) -- It's oil-free, fragrance-free, and absorbs almost instantly without a greasy residue (I literally couldn't tell where I had or had not put it on because it absorbed so quickly!).
*I just received some feedback on Rosewater moisturizer and the spa had an excellent one -- Rosewater ($55 for 4oz) -- great for a mid-day spritz in this crazy heat!!

There are many things in life that a girl can not live without... one of which is of course going to the spa! This Mother's Day weekend, I treated myself to a trip to the Spa at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club at Ponte Vedra Beach, a Florida landmark since 1928!! I really needed to de-compress from work induced stress. What started as a hobby for Kelly and I is now a full time job-- we still love what we do but the eight plus hour workdays is more than we ever anticipated! So I felt perfectly justified to indulge at one of the most beautiful spas in the country during my week long trip in Florida. From the minute I checked in until I was driven back to my hotel room, I felt absolutely pampered. (Jump for more!)
