Obviously we here at Spa Week endorse going to a real spa whenever possible. But real life, time, and money all conspire to keep us from heading to the spa as often as we’d like–so it’s nice to have spa-like touches in your bathroom at home! Check out these spa-inspired bathrooms featured on Apartment Therapy for spa touches to add to your own bathroom:

Try going monochromatic - varying tones on tones can help even small spaces open up and feel spacious.

Jars and bottles with chrome and silver touches look sleek and clean. Just make sure to pair them with fluffy towels and other cozy touches.

Rustic elements, like these raised bowl sinks, can feel very luxurious! To keep from feeling too “country”, choose 2 or 3 rustic elements and keep everything else simple.

Welcome to the Zit List, where we tell you exactly what to think about the week that was.

Link: #iPad, #iTampon, #iDie
Every techie and techie wannabe has an opinion about the iPad, Apple’s brand new reader to challenge the Kindle and Nook. The most entertaining opinion however, has without a doubt been the endless obsession over the choice of name. “Do they come in maxi?” “With wings?” Seriously, what ELSE was Apple going to call it? Name one other possibility! You can’t even think of one. And then, just like that… #iTampon was born.

Link: The braces are coming off, America
ABC has announced that they’re pulling the plug on Ugly Betty. The show that made America Ferrera a star in 2006 is ending with just 8 episodes left. Four years – not a bad run, but for Betty fans we know this is heartbreaking news.

Link: Mind your own Lady Business!
Okay. So we got a little excited this morning about Vajazzling. Spa Week is all about relaxation, wellness, health… and now there’s a Swarovski-studded hoo-ha in the mix? We’re going to go ahead and give ourselves a few zits for our over-zealousness. It’s fine though, because…… we’ll just Vajazzle right on over them suckers.

“Because Your Lady Business Should Sparkle!”

This is a headline I’ll not soon forget (see it for yourself), celebrating the fine art of Vajazzling! And it’s exactly what it sounds like… bedazzling your you-know-what with pretty little crystals.

A few weeks ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt announced on Lopez Tonight that she’s a Vajazzler.  Always on the pulse of all things sparkly, sexy and SEO-explosive, Bryce Gruber and the girls at The Luxury Spot helped put Vajazzle on the map, #vajazzling about town and spreading the Vajazzle spirit nationwide.

And now… Spa Week® is doing what we do best - we’re bringing it to the masses with a sweet price tag of $50! (April 12 - 18… the countdown has begun.)

We’re thrilled to welcome a brand new Washington DC spa to the Spa Week® community; the first spa to officially put Vajazzling on their Spring 2010 Spa Week® menu. It’s called… STRIPPERS.

In other vajazzling news… Completely Bare on Bond Street in NYC has offered Vajazzling for $50 during Spa Week® in the past… we’re hoping they’ll do it again this Spring. Tweet them @hairremovalguru if you’d like to help campaign for 2010… and get ready to shine!

2/9 UPDATE:

Completely Bare (Bond Street and in Scarsdale locations) WILL be offering Vajazzling during Spa Week® Spring 2010! $50 that week, regularly $115

But… and something Spa Week will NOT be offering? Clitter.

28 spas in 28 regions have whipped up their most decadent day-at-the-spa packages, and in partnership, SPA WEEK® is giving them away to 28 lucky winners across North America. Spa Week Daily will be featuring a spa a day, along with their wellness philosophies and lifestyle tips, until the sweeps ends.
