A Super Bowl Spa Day? Yes, Please.

January 23, 2013 | By

Can you believe the 2012-2013 football season is already coming to a close? This year’s big showdown is scheduled to take place next Sunday, February 3rd, in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints. With Mardi Gras season starting up as well, the city is already bustling with excitement this month!

If you’re a NOLA native (or one of the millions of travelers who will frequent the southern city this month) and you need a brief respite from the craziness, the Guerlain Spa at the Roosevelt Hotel is the place for you.

To ensure that guests are ready for kickoff, the Guerlain has rolled out a brand new spa menu spirited enough to tickle any football fan’s fancy. From Jan. 30 to Feb. 3 choose from almost a dozen treatments decadent enough to soothe, comfort and de-stress any die-hard football fan on or off the field. Here are a few of our favorites:

  • Unnecessary Roughness: A Guerlain Deep Tissue Massage, perfect for tenseness resulting from cheering on the team.
  • The Linebacker: An Anti-gravity NuFace Microcurrent Treatment that gives weary-faced football fans a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance after a long season.
  • Out of Bounds: A no penalty Aromatic Hydrotherapy Bath, perfect for fans who need a break at half-time.
  • First and Ten: A non-fumbling Guerlain manicure.
  • The Super Dome: Shampoo and style for big events of all kinds.

And a special deal for locals: Sunday-Thursday receive a 20% discount on services! The Guerlain Spa also accepts Spa & Wellness Gift Cards by Spa Week®, making it even easier to treat yourself. We can’t think of a better way to get in the Super Bowl Spirit!

The Spa Week Holiday Gift Guide

December 19, 2012 | By

A very wise Elf once said “The best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” We totally agree – but the second best way is to share the gift of wellness with your loved ones.

‘Tis the season of giving, and we know that the health nuts and beauty aficionados in your life aren’t the only ones who will appreciate a Spa & Wellness eGift Card. These other people (who you might not have thought of at first) will love it just as much:

Party host/hostess: Who needs another bottle of wine? After all the stress of hosting a fabulous soiree, a day at the spa sounds like a far superior and healthier way to take the edge off – it’s the perfect way to say “thank you!”

Athlete or fitness fanatic: Male or female, the spa isn’t a place most people would associate with tough athletic types. Skip the generic gym totes and help relieve your sports star’s tension and soreness with deep-tissue massages, foot reflexology and other restorative treatments. He/she will be thanking you for their invigorated bodies during those intense work-outs!

Boss or co-worker: There’s a good chance you’re not on B.F.F status with your boss or co-workers but feel obligated to get them a gift…..or maybe it’s the name you pulled in this year’s Secret Santa. Either way, it can be challenging to gift them something thoughtful without getting too personal. With the Spa & Wellness eGift Card, they’ll have the freedom to choose from thousands of locations and services, all while knowing that you have their well-being in mind.

Person who has it all: There’s always that pesky person on your list who just has everything, severely limiting your gift giving options. No matter what treatment they choose with his/her Spa & Wellness eGift Card, this gift will outlast any other present they receive. Whether it’s reaping the health benefits of massage therapy, receiving an education in skincare with a clinical facial or finding inner peace with a yoga session, your caring gift won’t go unnoticed by even the toughest crowd(s) on your list.

Person you forgot to get a gift for: Oh no – it’s Christmas Eve and you completely forgot your nephew’s girlfriend was celebrating with you this year. There isn’t a store opened in sight and you’re strapped for time. Spa & Wellness eGift Cards to the rescue! Personalize an eGift Card on SpaWeek.com to be printed instantly, or even send via e-mail to your Great Aunt across the country who may have slipped your mind!

Spa & Wellness eGift Cards are 20% off – take advantage of this great offer now!

Happy Holidays,

Spa Week

And Our Nutrition 911 Giveaway Winner Is…

March 21, 2012 | By

In an attempt to stop New Year’s resolutions from dissolving into February air, we launched a health rescue mission led by Spa Week’s Food & Wellness Expert Dr. Wendy Bazilian. Dr. Wendy’s a nationally acclaimed nutrition expert, author, the Golden Door Spa Nutrition Advisor, and the perfect woman to take on the job of helping one lucky winner of the Nutrition 911 Giveaway get on the road to optimal health. Not only would the winner get Dr. Wendy to answer their health S.O.S, the winner will first take a luxurious and health-themed retreat to kick-start the plan. After all, relaxation is the one of the first steps to overall well-being.

After thousands of entries, we are happy to announce that the winner is…

Congratulations to Linda J. of Joanna, South Carolina!

Linda will get a four-night getaway for two at the prestigious Golden Door Spa in Escondido, California. This includes three private in-room massages, one herbal wrap, two skincare appointments, and a choice of a manicure or pedicure. Also included is a customized Golden Door fitness program with a personal fitness counselor and gourmet spa cuisine.

”"

After her retreat, Linda will be taking home everything she needs to continue on her journey to wellness. The home prize package includes a copy of Dr. Wendy’s bestselling book, The SuperFoodsRx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients, a personalized nutritional counseling program designed by Dr. Wendy designed specifically for Linda and $100 in Spa & Wellness Gift Cards by Spa Week.

”"

Here is Linda’s message after we let her know the good news, and we couldn’t have picked a more worthy winner!

”"It is not only an honor to be the winner of the 2012 Spa Week 911 Nutrition Sweepstakes, it is also greatly appreciated for the health benefits this will award me. Most women who have experienced Menopause understand the extreme changes that take place in hormones and metabolism at this age. Despite efforts to address such issues with a tailored blood type diet over the past 3 years, I have continued to struggle with controlling weight gain. As a result I am very much looking forward to my personalized nutrition and exercise regimen that Dr. Brazilian has combined with this amazing spa retreat at the Golden Door Spa in Escondido, California.

As a Freelance Journalist in Natural Health and Spas, I am often researching and writing about the many benefits of exercise, nutrition and spa treatments, but as a rule rarely have the opportunity to afford myself such benefits. This spa retreat will be a welcome for myself on my journey to wellness, as well as a great joy to share it with my husband of 23+ years. This will be a first since our honeymoon, for us to get away together for four full nights alone. The knowledge that our journey will take us to one of the finest spa retreats in America just makes it all the more exciting.

We are genuinely looking forward to a time together of relaxation and rejuvenation in the serene environment that is a creative beauty at the Gold Door Spa.

We’re so happy to hear that our winner is a fellow writer of health and spa, but one who rarely gets to put her work to play!

To kick your own health into high gear you can also seek Dr. Wendy’s help. Click here to order her book. No excuses!
