Escape with the Body Shop’s Spa Of The World collection
So it’s back to school now and within just a few weeks I’m ready to escape! I’m so excited that The Body Shop introduced the Spa Of The World collection, bringing in the best exotic spa rituals from all around the world for you to explore, at home.
Oils of Life
I can’t begin to explain how much I love using oils on my face and skin. Although my skin is already pretty oily, facial oils have anti-bacterial properties that combat against breakouts and keep your skin clear. The Body Shop’s Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion is infused with Black Cumin seed oil from Egypt, Camellia seed oil from China and Rosehip seed oil from Chile. The unique oil and water formula makes it super light so you don’t feel like you’re wearing it at all. To finish it off, I add The Body Shop’s Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalizing Gel Cream. with illuminating micro-pearls. Slightly lighter than the Intensely Revitalizing Cream, if you’ve got normal to oily skin like me – it’s the perfect night-time treatment to stay moisturized all night long.
Not your regular bubble bath
This is the grown up version of a bubble bath you used to have with your rubber ducky. Rather than a gel or salt, the Egyptian Milk & Honey Bath comes in a power that turns into a skin-softening milk bath. Renowned as a beauty ritual used by Cleopatra in ancient Egypt, you’ll truly feel like a queen relaxing in this. I love how creamy this bath is, and it smells so yummy! My skin feels super soft after this.

Glamour up with @principessa_bty
There are so many P’s to look out for with Principessa Beauty: pretty, pink, and pamper! The beauty company also prides on perfume, packaging, and performance…
I am currently using “naked pink” lip gloss. It’s shiny but not excessive and after it’s on my lips for some time, it’s not sticky like others. The color also goes well with everything so I like to just keep it in my pocket.
I have to try out their other products too. They have fragrances and creams, dry shampoo, and look at this cute water bottle.
($1 from each bottle sold will be donated to breast cancer research)
(One of many gift sets they have. This limited edition includes perfume, pouf, dry shampoo, and body wash)
So definitely go to their website and check out the many products they have. It’ll make a great gift for friends and family…or if you need a pampering! 🙂

The @SpaWeek Preview
What’s better than pampering, rejuvenating, and beautifying your mind, body and soul? Doing so for a fraction of the cost, of course!! That’s why I love when Spa Week rolls around. It’s one of the only times you can shell out $50 for treatments that would normally run you $75-$500.
During Spa Week Fall 2011, October 10-16, over 800 spas and wellness centers in the U.S. and Toronto–with 184 in the NY metro area–will offer a barrage of spa treatments from yoga instruction to laser hair removal, for only $50 a pop.
Last night, the press got a Spa Week preview as well as some pampering of our own! Below are 5 unusual spa treatments being offered across the country:
- Skin tightening, normally $528 (don’t worry, it’s completely noninvasive!) @ American Laser Skincare, 26 location in NYC, Chicago and CA
- 60-minute peach, orange and oatmeal body polish with vitamin C plus massage (sounds like a delicious breakfast!) @ Elite Day Spa, NYC
- 60-minute balancing acupuncture facial (not for the faint of heart, I imagine!) @ James Corbett Studio & Spa, NYC
- Colonic session (internal TLC!) @ Fabylous Living, NYC
- Botox Light (erase those laugh lines!) @ Rejuva Nation MediSpa, NYC
