CND Launches New Shellac Polish And We Love It I love getting shellac nails done, but I hate sitting still and I inevitably end up picking them off instead of going back to having them taken off properly, damaging my nail beds. CND now has a solution for my dilemma. Thanks to the new formula of…

Faye Smith Lash Lift
Faye Smith Make Up Studio Yumi Lash Lift & Tint Last year I loved the lash extensions but they just weren’t sustainable. I must be an aggressive sleeper because I’d wake up with the lashes having come off on my pillow and I can’t stand sitting still, so when I had to go get a…
My Bachelorette – A Day at Spa Utopia and An Overnight at The Pan Pacific Hotel
Checking out the Pan Pacific Club Floor Rooms With My Ladies It’s been so much about the wedding lately that I still have to catch up on writing about lots of adventures I had before the big day. I was sick with a terrible flu just before what was supposed to be the girls weekend at…

Start Fresh With a HydraFacial When you are choosing a skin care provider, especially when it involves procedures on the most visible and sensitive part of your body, your face, it’s essential that you choose someone very reputable and a clinic that explains everything to you extremely thoroughly.

Aging Gracefully
Now that I’m in my 40’s, I have other issues than when I was I was oh so fresh and young. My skin was pretty good to me growing up, however, now if I stare too long in the mirror, I notice the skin on my face is a little, or perhaps, a lot less tight….

Metta3 Rest Spa REST Session
Flotation Tanks AT Metta3 Rest Spa Recently I had heard of these new flotation sessions inside tanks full of water, and I thought that there could be nothing worse than being crammed into a vessel in the dark in sensory deprivation. I am claustrophobic and bore easily; I once had to flee a hot yoga session completely freaked out….
Rain Hair Salon
I’ve been a bit of a wanderer of late when it comes to getting my hair done. I’ve even been doing some amateur dye jobs at home, which sort of work for tiny touch up, but this hair of mine has been in real need of a complete in-salon full cut, colour, condition and style for…
J Natural Spa
I have walked up 4th Avenue in Kitsilano hundreds of times and never noticed J Natural Spa before. There’s a signboard that I must have passed, but it’s tucked away on the upper level. I must have been tweeting or somehow focused on something else. Never mind, as I have found it now. SocialShopper put…
Spa Day at New Image College of Fine Arts
Last week I took a much needed afternoon to myself to beautify my tired feet and get my nails in order. Fortunately for me at New Image College of Fine Arts they offer an esthetics training and once the students have mastered the skills, they can take on clients to fine tune their trade. The…
