Your cozy bed. Your snazzy kitchen appliances. Your favorite colors, fabrics, and photos. Your home is YOU in the form of furniture, flatware and picture frames. If you feel uninspired by your surroundings or cluttered within your walls, you’ll never be able to enjoy fully enjoy that place you call home.
Spa Week’s Design and Organizational Expert Bobby Berk is a Texas native who started his career at design powerhouses Restoration Hardware and Portico Bed & Bath, and now has his own stores in New York, Miami and Atlanta, with LA coming soon. He is known for his mid-century style and playful use of acrylic, stainless steel, and wood. You’ve probably seen his designs on HGTV, Bravo, Extreme Home Makeover; he’s truly bridged the gap between the ridiculously high priced innovative designs you oh-so desire and the lame cheap-o pieces you find at super stores with zero wow factor.
Bobby says: “A clean and organized home can do wonders for your overall health and well-being.” If you haven’t yet, join Bobby’s Spring Cleaning Challenge (starting tomorrow!) – he dares you to remove one item from your home a day for 10 days straight. “You will feel empowered by freeing yourself of bulky design elements like too-big vases and lamps or cluttered and under-used storage bins that are just taking up space.” Bobby insists. “Liberate yourself from bad design and clutter and turn your home into a sanctuary of inviting relaxation that you can be proud of and will look forward to coming home to.” And although “there are no rules…” Bobby strongly encourages the following:
This is not my room, but it very well could be. I definitely have an “organized chaos” approach when it comes to keeping things neat and tidy. Plus, I save almost everything. Coming from a big family, there was hardly room for enough beds, let alone enough shelves or organizers. Stuff was always everywhere. But the biggest challenge I had growing up wasn’t the clutter, it was holding on to my stuff. My siblings were ways “borrowing” my things. So, I learned how to protect my “important stuff.” Now, as an adult, I find myself holding on to everything. Not in a creepy hoarder-type of way, but I know I definitely hold on to old clothes, broken jewelry and mismatching furniture for too long. Because, hey, I bought it, it’s mine and you never know when you’ll need it, right?
It’s our party and we’ll spa if we want to! Last week on April 11 we returned to the spacious Altman Building and held our bi-annual Spa Week Media Party, a night dedicated to food, drinks, beauty, pampering and wellness. This year was extra special as it’s our 
Of course, I took on the night in sequins and six inch heels, because that’s how I spa-rty. (More on the outfit coming later this week.) Let me be your hostess with the mostest love for spa and come along as I take you on a tour of our spa-cial night.
Emily was all smiles as she signed and personalized copy after copy of her new book.
Emily had a line of excited fans to meet her all night and she happily chatted with guests the entire party.
I loved interviewing Emily on camera and getting the chance to chat a little off camera too. She is so excited to be the first author ever associated with Spa Week, and loves the “girliness” of it all! She pictures girls in spa robes curled up with her new book, waiting for their massages to begin.
What’s a sweet sixteen without some sweet treats? The “chocolate ladies” as we call them, once again brought the four tier’d chocolate fountain and you can bet that the chocolate flowed all night.

Elizabeth Arden 
Red Door’s Smooth Sculpt machine was a hit! It’s an alternative approach to skin rejuvenation that will lift skin, reduce wrinkles and release built-up toxins caused by diet, age and the environment. Like a revitalizing workout for your skin, this wellness method uses mild suction, pulsing and homeopathic extracts to cleanse cellular debris, reduce puffiness, as well as fortify the immune system.
