Remember not so long ago when we, New Yorkers, practically welcomed the snow?

Amidst the winter month’s gloom, the days are beginning to get longer and summer is on the horizon with swim suits and summer apparel hitting retail stores earlier and earlier every year. But, who is in the right mindset to start perusing the bathing suit aisle when we are still trying to lose the extra [...]

In the busy concrete jungle we live in, walking into the Setai Spa is like entering a parallel universe that is a calm oasis.

Valentine’s Day falls on a weekend this year, offering ideal timing for a romantic spa getaway with your guy or a fun singles trip with girlfriends.

I was intrigued by the website of Chill Wellness and Medical Spa. It features 24Karat Gold facials and Magic Diamond Crystal treatments.

I recently had a berry good facial…..okay, it was actually more like wonderful….at Joanna Vargas Skin Care that made my skin glow.

On a recent trip to Palm Beach, I succumbed to a much needed day of beauty at the gorgeous 12,000 cosmedical mecca known as Anushka Spa in CityPlace. I was visiting to attend the L’Oreal 100th Birthday Gala along with two hundred of the Palm Beach elite and a dozen members of the local press. [...]

Treat your body and soul to some luxurious spa products this winter. It’s the one thing next to a steamy mug of hot chocolate that actually make a harsh snowy blizzard look inviting.

The Christmas season might be behind us but why not continue the holiday spirit? The giant-sized muli-wick [...]

The word ceremony is defined as a formal act or set of acts performed as prescribed by ritual or custom. An exclusive Peninsula Ceremony is one ritual every New Yorker needs to follow – religiously. I had the immense pleasure of having the Deep Tissue Experience at the New York Peninsula Hotel’s luxurious Spa by [...]

They say that the eyes are the window to the soul. But if Irina Krupnik had her way, the saying might go a little differently.
“The eyebrows are the most important aspect of someone’s face,” the Russian import tells me while spreading a sweet smelling blue-green wax around my eyebrows. “I see the brows like a [...]

The gift of spa is the gift that keeps on giving – at least through the harsh winter months and usually thereafter. So, why not be at the top of everyone’s thank you list this holiday season and give them the luxurious gift of spa? It’s one thing next to a steamy mug of hot [...]

If you consider yourself a true spa-connoisseur, or spa-nnoisseur, then you probably notice every spa related detail and nuance…such as the handmade soap nestled daintily in the antique soap dish next to the vintage hand towels and lightly scented candles. These soaps can inspire an entire bathroom’s décor and sometimes they can smell good enough [...]

The leaves are changing and your coat is so last season, with some of last season’s leftover holes in the lining. Your roommate and her boyfriend have decided to share both their epic fights and their equally epic *ahem* make-up sessions through your thin bedroom walls, and your hunt for a paying job has gotten [...]

I love themes – for a birthday party, Bar-Mitzvah, holiday party – you name it. That’s why I felt compelled to include the Pumpkin Resurfacer Facial in the November, a.k.a. Thanksgiving issue of BeautyNewsNYC.com. Granted, the spa treatment room was not filled with the sweet aroma of pumpkins during my treatment, and thankfully for the [...]

I started my entire business in my kitchen using ingredients like essential oils, oatmeal and coffee to create skin care products for personal use and to create a supplemental income for my family. I’ve been in the beauty industry now for the past twelve years. Even with access to more beauty products than the average [...]

Whew. We can all relax now. Our sacred Brazilian bikini waxes aren’t going anywhere. But New Jersey gave us quite a scare a few months back, right? So, in order to keep ourselves flying the friendly skies to Rio, let’s take some advice from the hair removal experts at Shobha and protect our right to [...]

Spa products, in all their pretty packaging, make us feel good. Bath salts, candlelight, body butters and luxury robes have a way of transforming even our t-shirt and sweatpants wearing-selves into feminine goddesses. Well, now these same spa products can actually make us feel, not just good, but great…because these products might actually help make [...]

Whether massage therapy is an occasional vacation treat or a regular weekly habit, there are a number of things you can do to optimize your experience and stretch that hour of bliss to long-lasting effect…
