    Pamper up in NYC @YeloSpa

    NYC life can be quite hectic. The crowds, the traffic, the noise. Sometimes all you need is a little pampering to get you back into the swing of things and lucky for New Yorkers, there’s a great spot right in Midtown that offers relaxing spa treatments, sleep therapy systems and skincare in an incredible setting. Introducing YeloSpa!

    Created and designed as a sanctuary to help urbanites unwind and heal from the pressures of modern life, YeloSpa offers a unique combo of spa and wellness treatments that refresh the mind and body, and awaken the soul! It’s been featured everywhere, too, from Cosmo and NY Mag, to the WSJ and the Today Show.

    YeloSpa sessions take place in their patented cocoon-like treatment cabins calls “YeloCabs” where you can completely customize your aromatherapy, sound and light settings. But it doesn’t stop there — YeloCabs are also equipped with custom designed zero gravity YeloChairs, which recline deeply so that your legs are elevated above the heart, providing a feeling of weightlessness and allowing the heart rate to slow down more quickly, which, of course, encourages deep relaxation in minutes.

    YeloSpa offers everything you can imagine a busy New Yorker needs.

    Massages. Yelo specializes in reflexology according to the Ingham method, and is performed by licensed YeloPros. Massage treatments are designed to balance and ease specific aches or ailments so that you can emerge refresh and energized. There’s also Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, and Aromatherapy massage treatments to choose from.

    Skincare. Yelo knows its skincare, that’s for sure. Advanced treatments here include facials, scrubs, wraps, and waxing.

    Napping. Ok, it might seem strange to pay to nap but Yelo has developed their very own “YeloNap” system that lasts between 20 – 40 minutes and has been medically proven to increase alertness and productivity. Imagine taking a power nap during a busy day of business meetings–Heaven!

    Yelo also offers other specialized services like the 1-hour Runners Recovery Experience ($120), which focuses on areas of your body that are overworked, to reduce muscle fatigue and decrease tension. There’s also caviar facials ($175) and chamomile body scrubs ($200). So good!

    Add @PurposeSkincare To Your Winter Skincare Routine!

    If you have sensitive skin and you’re looking for a gentle line of skincare products to use everyday, let me introduce you to PURPOSE!

    PURPOSE

    PURPOSE cares for your skin, so every product has been made to gentle cleanse and remove oil and makeup without stripping the skin like harsh soaps can. They also carry a wonderful water-based SPF 15+ moisture lotion that absorbs quickly and keeps sensitive skin protected in the sun.

    The two products I’ve been using for the past week are the Gentle Cleansing Wash and the Gentle Cleansing Bar. Both are oil free, hypoallergenic and won’t clog pores. And as a side note, the Gentle Cleansing Bar smells incredible.

    PURPOSE duo

    The PURPOSE Gentle Cleansing Wash is gentle enough for ALL skin types and has been clinically proven to be as gentle as water, so it’s perfect for removing eye makeup after a night out. It also won’t over dry or irritate your skin, so it’s great for using every day. I’ve been using the cleansing wash in the morning as an alternative to my regular cleanser and my skin is loving me for it!

    In the evening I’ve been using the PURPOSE Gentle Cleansing Bar. I don’t ordinarily enjoy using soap-like bars on my face because my skin feels incredibly tight and stripped of all the oil afterwards, but this one was developed with dermatologists and is so gentle on my skin. I lather it up with a little water and cleanse away all the makeup and dirt on my face. It keeps my skin soft, smooth and feeling so clean I love it!

    Cleansing Bar

    Both the PURPOSE Gentle Cleansing Wash and the PURPOSE Gentle Cleansing Bar retail from $4 to $11 at pharmacies and drugstores—a great, inexpensive addition to your winter skincare routine.
