Queen Elizabeth II Needs A Royal Spa Day

Now that all of this  Royal Wedding hubbub has started to subside, we ‘re pretty sure the Royal Family will need to recuperate. What better way to relax and wind down from such an extravaganza than to enjoy a spa day? Wills and Kate will get to relax on their honeymoon (in Corfu? Australia?). And, we hope Harry and Pippa will relax in each others’ arms (Harry+ Pippa 4ever!), but what of The Queen?  What is the best way for Queen Elizabeth to unwind?  We asked some experts to weigh in:

What spa treatment would you recommend for The Queen of England? And why?

We got some really interesting and educational answers, definitely worthy of  The Queen… She should try all of these the next time she hops the pond!

Retin-A Facial with Collagen Mask

Why: Liz, the owner of Euro Laser Medical Spa in Rye, NY recommends that The Queen try this vitamin rich facial because it targets wrinkles and fights fine lines. Liz says that all fabulous women over fifty should try this facial, even if they aren’t going to a big event.

Thai Bomb Massage

Why?: Lucy, owner of Enliven Body Works in New York City explained to us that the massage contains a body wrap with, ” different kinds of herbs, like ginger and cinnamon that will detoxify body toxins.” This will help The Queen de-stress and feel her best after her grandson’s big day.

The Back Room’s Rose Petal Ritual

“When I think of the Queen I think of her gardens and my strolls through London and the beautiful gardens in Hyde Park,” says New York’s The Back Room Hand & Foot Spa at Carol’s Daughter founder, Lisa Price. “So, I immediately go to roses. What is more deserving of a Queen than to have her feet bathed in warm coconut milk with fresh rose petals?” A spa treatment fit for the English Rose in all of us!

Colon Hydrotherapy Treatment

Cleansing Concepts owner, Vanessa suggests this treatment for The Queen because, after all the post-nuptial luncheons and royal receptions, “it will leave her feeling less bloated.” Colon Hydrotherapy hydrates the colon. The treatment is a gentle internal bath that will aid Queen Elizabeth’s body in the detoxification process after all this celebrating!

Queen for a Day Package

Spa at Eaglewood in Itasca, IL has a royalty package that is without a doubt fit for a queen! The package includes: a Mud Wrap, a 60Min Swedish Massage, 60Min Facial, Paradise Mani-Pedi, Makeup Application with Consultation and Lesson, a Spa Lunch, the choice between a blow-out or an eye, neck, and décolleté treatment, AND a Spa Gift (retail value $50). Rachel the Spa Manager says, “The Queen would fit right in over here.” We couldn’t agree more!

Ciara’s Mani-Pedi Spa Day + Spa Deals

Well look at what we have here. R&B singer Ciara (whom we got to catch in person at Lord & Taylor’s Ultimate Face-Lift event last year) was spotted at a Los Angeles spa taking a break from the flashbulbs to give her hands and feet some much needed TLC. Just last weekend at Grammys she wore a floaty Emilio Pucci gown and killer Givenchy heels, so there’s no doubt she was in need of a foot treatment.

A relaxing departure from donning sky high heels, she looks so comfortable and at ease in that spa massage chair. Take a note from Ciara and do the same with any of the spa deals below.

Fashion Week Survival Guide: Spa Edition

Writers, Editors, Bloggers, have you checked your schedules? There is a show scheduled at Lincoln Center at 10AM, then the lunch you set up weeks ago with your old editor visiting from out of town, and lateness is not an option for the presentation at Milk Studios from 2:00-2:20. After weeks of planning, emailing, planning, scheduling and more planning, New York Fashion Week is here again. To everyone else, don’t be alarmed when you hear the grunts and moans from ladies walking the streets in 4 inch heels — they’re just in need of a spa treatment! Set a side an hour or so throughout jam packed day to indulge. We’ve already done the dirty work below and these spas are centered in the mist of the hoopla, you just need to go.

Day 1 – Face First

Day 4 – Massage Away Those Aches and Pains

Fashion Week is more than halfway done and those new 5 inch boots from Rag & Bone have not totally been worn in and the pain from carrying around your laptop is starting to creep up the rest of your body. A soothing massage is definitely in order.

Celebrity Spa Arrest: Ted Williams, The Homeless Man With the Golden Voice

Celebrity Suspect: Ted Williams, The Homeless Man With the Golden Voice

Case: Less than 48 hours ago, Ted Williams was your typical homeless man trolling the cold highways in Ohio, but unlike the others he had a gift. He carried a sign which said it all — he had a voice fit for the radio business. The photographer from the Columbia Dispatch filmed him doing unbelievable sample voice overs for radio and tv. Today he stands as a man with multiple offers, including a brand new home and a full time voice over gig with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Spa Treatment Sentencing: We hear that the native Brooklynite is on his way to New York City to be reunited with his mother whom he hasn’t seen in over 20 years and for more meetings. After decades of living on the street and becoming a celebrity literally overnight, we need to get him up to speed with a complete spa day. For proving that with a lot of hope and a little luck dreams can come true, we are sentencing Ted Williams to a 60 Minute Massage and European Facial, followed by a Manicure and Pedicure, only $50 each at Spa West in Westlake, Ohio in our spa deals.

The original clip that changed this man’s life had over 11 million views but just moments ago got taken down due to a legal matter (come ON!) but you can watch his CBS interview HERE.
