April 20, 2015 Spa at the Ritz Carlton Aruba

This post is one of those that slipped through the cracks – now I’m trying to play catch up! While we were in Aruba over the winter, my sister in law and I decided to treat ourselves to a day at the spa at the newly opened Ritz Carlton. We booked appointments over the website, […]

August 6, 2014 Treehouse Spa at Hidden Pond

The tree spa at Hidden Pond offers three treetop spa rooms connected by a raised catwalk. How cute are the rooms? The only downside is that they do not have showers at the spa. I had a pure therapy 60 minute massage ($130) with Emily, who was fantastic. She gave me a customized massage based […]

April 18, 2014 Skoah – Chestnut Hill

It was a rainy on Sunday, a perfect day for a little pampering. I headed over to The Street in Chestnut Hill to get my fitskin facial.  While I was waiting for Anastasiya, I had the chance to chat with Pete Dziedzic, who co-owns Skoah with his husband  Jay Judas. I love Pete’s story, he […]

February 10, 2013 Treasured Hands Beauty Salon

Met my friend for a mani a few weeks ago. We were looking for a place to get our nails done in the Back Bay area, and Yelp gave Treasured Hands the best ratings. Now it’s winter, and it’s dark, so trying to find this place was hard enough. It is across the street from […]

June 12, 2011 Overnight in Boston

My mother and I spent an overnight in Boston-enjoying what this great city has to offer. First stop, check into the Elliot Hotel located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue. A really great hotel-boutique, before it was ‘in’, with lots of charm. The lobby area is small and sparse, but every room […]
