Chicago is a city known for high quality spas and cosmopolitan lifestyles. So it came as no surprise when I decided to head over to Exhale Spa for a little seasonal pampering during my recent trip. Once inside this Zen-like haute spot, I took a deep breath before climbing the two flights of stairs to check in for my treatment. After slipping out of my street gear, uggs and overcoat, I was ushered into a treatment room for a much needed Grow Restore and Nurture or G.R.N. facial from the Well Bar for the girl on the go. It’s been a really long, bitterly cold winter and my skin is showing signs of dryness and dehydration. Now that spring is just weeks away, it’s time for renewal. The G.R.N. 30 minute facial is designed to combat the negative effects of environmental toxins on our skin. I love the fact that this particular facial is highly effective and eco-friendly. The G.R. N. paraben-free skin care products like the Blue Chamomile Face Cleanser are exclusive to Exhale Spa and formul...
I had business in Detroit Lakes today, like returning the clock that didn’t work to Wal-Mart. There was someone at the jewelry stand today, so I had them take a couple of links out of the band of the wristwatch I bought last week. Then I got a haircut from a ‘not so nice’ young Minnesotan lady. Tried to buy a new tie out for Emma before she breaks the one she is on and heads for the hills. No luck. It’s on order. Yeah, right. I just don’t like shopping at Wal-Mart. Anyway, then it was on to Fargo, ND, to pick up an order I had made. Steve, the other volunteer, had told me about an interesting store in Fargo, so I found my way there. It’s name is Scheels, and is something like a Cabellas. It’s a sporting goods store, and I wanted to buy one of those new fangled pair of pants where you can zip off the bottoms of the legs and end up with a pair of shorts. Lots of people wear them, so I thought I’d give a pair a try i...
When it comes to hair… there’s nobody in Atlanta like Karli Harvey, also known as “the Glam God!” This fashionista, stylist and all-around haute girl knew just what to do when I wanted ‘L’Oreal Paris Cocktail Party” hair. She took one look at my hair and decided to give me soft, sexy, bedroom curls with bounce! Harvey isn’t a stranger to making women look haute… she’s been turning heads since she was a teen with her amazing hairstyles. She says that she loves helping women achieve a look that makes them feel “confident and beautiful.” When I arrived at U Salon in Buckhead (with less than 24 hours before my L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth Awards Dinner in New York City) Harvey went right to work. She started by washing and conditioning my hair that had fallen victim to changing seasons. Blow drying, curling and styling followed an intense conditioning leaving my hair fresh, shiny and full of body! Let’s just say once she handed me the mirror, I fell in love. As Harvey would say, “Looking g...
