Whoever you decide to be this Halloween, the Spa Week Staff wishes you a fun and safe weekend!

Tricks, treats, rock and roll,

Melissa, Niki, Michelle, Erin, Alea, Kaitlin, Breanna, Kelly, Dina, Anne and Cheryl (clockwise from bottom left) plus the rest of us who couldn’t fit

We took these photos at the Spa Week Media Party – we had a blast squeezing inside the Dole Instant Photo Booth! (PS – if anyone gets DOLE Real Fruit Bites with Yogurt and Whole Grain Oats in their trick or treat bag, you must let us know on Monday. YUM! Delicious and nutritious.)

Photo hunts are addictive. The adrenaline rush of trying to find everything and claim victory in such a time-crunch… I could play for hours! So I decided to turn our homepage into a little hunt. Did you ever notice how much stuff we had going on and how much you can win? Spa days, shopping sprees, beauty swag, iPhones and beyond. I went and circled and highlighted all the goodies for you, because I love you guys and really, really want you to win, indulge, and enjoy everything that goes on around here.

Everything circled will be disappearing from SpaWeek.com after SUNDAY! Game Over. The end.

So… get your game face on, click through below, and win, win, WIN!!!

It’s not the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, but it is an adorable chair that totally vibes the pumpkin patch!

This rotund quilted Pumpkin Armchair by Marais International adds a little spook to your space year round!  Check out it’s chrome “skeleton” which adds a punch of mod.

Savor It’s Spaliciousness…

The Pumpkin Chair’s supportive back, firm foam filling and stain resistant fabric make it perfect as:
- An energizing desk chair
- Your new dressing table throne
- Eye candy when paired beside a dining buffet

If the orange is just a little too Halloweenish come Monday, it’s also available in black, taupe and red.

The time has arrived where the goblins, ghouls, Lady Gagas, MacGrubers and an unprecedented number of Snookis wander the streets (half naked) and you’ll either be out hunting for treats or full of pumpkin pie nestled in your sheets. Whichever way you decide to bring in Halloween 2010, here are 10 links from around the (cob)web to make it a time you won’t forget.

In honor of National Chocolate Day, we command you to indulge in a helping of cocoa today. (We know these guys over to the left have.)

Chocolate, a wonder drug that goes back at least 2 millenia (evidence suggests the Mayans were chocolate lovers at least 2600 years ago), can be great for you. Choose dark to enjoy lower blood pressure and a hefty dose of antioxidants – but whatever you choose, make sure you savor it!

In honor of the day, we want to highlight these excellent chocolate-centric blogs, forums, ventures and obsessions:

Chocolate & Zucchini for her delicious French dessert recipes.

8Chocolate for their seriously thorough product reviews.

Dying for Chocolate for her reliably yummy chocolate recipes.

The Chocolate Forum for giving chocolate lovers an excellent Internet home.

The Chocolate Addict for her sassy, art-inspired chocolate creations!

The Chocolate Review for, well, chocolate reviews.

Chocablog because they just launched the World Chocolate Guide. “Mapping the world, one ganache at a time…” Talk about a satisfying project!

We hope you’ve had a delicious day!
