WIN! Meet Joy Bauer for Lunch in NYC + Much More!

We skimp on the clothes in the summer, but not so much with the calories… contrary to popular belief, summer is actually a time of more weight GAIN than loss! While we’re off relaxing on vacation, sipping frozen drinks at the beach and chatting with friends at barbeques, it is easy to make poor choices and overindulge. To beat the bulge during the dog days of summer, Spa Week has joined forces with the TODAY Show’s famed Nutritionist, Joy Bauer, to help get one luck winner and a guest get their wellness routines back on track with our Take a Healthy Bite Out of the Big Apple Giveaway.

Throughout the month of July, you can enter to win a three-day wellness journey in New York City, complete with a nutritious, face-to-face lunch with Joy Bauer herself at the iconic Siro’s of Manhattan in the heart of  the City.

During their journey, the lucky duo will call the Gansevoort Park Avenue home for two nights, including daily breakfasts at Gansevoort’s Asellina restaurant.

Then you and your guest will reap the wellness benefits of mind body classes and spa treatments at exhale Grammercy, located inside the Gansevoort. How convenient!

To continue your wellness journey at home, the winner will also receive two copies of Joy’s newest book, The Joy Fit Club, as well as $175 in Spa & Wellness Gift Cards by Spa Week® to relax body and mind at your choice of over 5,000 spas and wellness locations nationwide.

What are you waiting for? All you have to do is enter HERE!

HEY MA!

So… we’re pretty excited to be part of our first ever linky giveaway. When we heard about “Spa For Ma” – where a ton of mommy bloggers join together to give away spa lifestyle prizes – we just couldn’t resist playing hostess/sponsor. You know it is one of our firmest beliefs that EVERY mom should be pampered no matter how busy she thinks she is! Our 15th biannual National Spa Week, presented by Carefree, is coming up October 10-16 when you can get $50 spa treatments at nearly 1000 spas across North America. Perhaps THIS is the time to indulge in that deep tissue massage or rejuvenating facial you’ve been yearning for since your first born? Yes, YES it is.

If our plea for you to take a little TIME-OUT to treat yourself wasn’t effective enough, well, take it from our crew of #HotSpaMoms in our ever-expanding Hot Mom Spa Squad. Together, we strive for the greater spa good. LADIES, it’s time to trade in Pampers for pampering, treat yourselves to the Mom(me) time you deserve, and reap the benefits of the wellness lifestyle to stay relaxed, healthy and most of all HOT.

And now for the giveaway details! We’re giving you the chance to win a $100 SpaWeek Gift Card – which can be used any time of year, but if you save it for Spa Week that’s TWO treatments you can get. SpaWeek Gift Cards are redeemable at nearly 4000 spas across North America and never expire. Can you smell the jasmine already?
