SPAaaaaaaaaaaah and Rituals!

I told you I would post about my spa visit in Santa Fe New Mexico. And here it is.

I fell in love with the resort and caring staff at the La Posada De Santa Fe hotel and then I discovered the SPA! The Spa Sage in Santa Fe is a sweet relaxing retreat. Tucked in between our quaint and unique  rooms.

The spa was filled with a wonderful mix of products. Not always do you see that. From beauty to fashion accessories and fragrance.

One thing that caught my undivided attention was a sign holder with the words below and square white patches of cloth and a paper twist tie. Next to it were pieces of this silver gray sage. Here is what it read:

Sage is held sacred by many Native Americans because of its purifying energies.Traditionally cleanses both the body and the mind. Traditionally it is used in areas in smudging ceremony to clear the energy and purify the body.

Upon arrival at SPA SAGE,please make a bundle of sage while thinking of a concern you would like to release as well as good thoughts you would like to bring in.

This practice will prepare you for complete relaxation during your spa experience. At the end of your spa journey you may leave your worries with us to burn at night in the fireplace or take the bundle home with you to burn or keep for a memory of your experience with Spa Sage.

I never experienced a spa quite like this and this extra special touch!!!

I took my bundle of sage that I put together at the spa so I could photograph it and show you! Tonight I AM following the spas instructions and burning it with intentions.

I also love the fact that if you stay at the lodge you can get a eucalyptus & lavender aromatherapy steam room treatment. Can you smell it?

HEAVENLY! And just what my body needed as I arrived with a respiratory infection. The spa also offers fabulous facials,massage,mani & pedi’s and more!

Come to find out a fan of the hotel staying there told me that Hollywood called and they just shot a movie at this hotel with Benjamin Bratt and a few other celebrities.

If you are ever out that way…you need to see this resort and SPA!

 

 

 

Yummiest in NYC!

Craving a chocolate egg cream drink (NYC’s famous) and a hot pastrami sandwich~

So, I went to one of the BEST places for them. Oh I am on a Jewish deli high!!!

I LOVE the taste of it all. The freshest and greatest place to dine and people watch.

I HAVE ALWAYS loved this place but love it and appreciate it more now that I don’t live in NYC anymore. I wish you could be here with me and SMELL the aroma from my plate down to the free pickles that have the most amazing taste and crunch.

Guess what what’s over my head? A sign…

It reads “Where Harry met Sally.”

The movie was shot here with Meg Ryan and it was so fun to sit in those very seats and eat!

Since 1888…this place is so GREAT!

 

Always Doing GOOD~

I LOVE SHOPPING this store and being a part of the Whole Foods Culture!

Are you a FAN of Liberace?

On my guest speaking trip last week my husband took us for a drive 5 minutes from the strip and showed me where Liberace …my mom’s fave entertainer had lived. The cell phone photo doesn’t really do it justice. The iron fence had fancy L’s for Liberace made with wrought iron. It was a sweet neighborhood.

I stayed at the LVH hotel formerly the Las Vegas Hilton and immediately recognized the hotel lobby and casino from the movie. After my inquiring the hotel staff excitedly told me that the hotel was a frequent spot for Liberace to perform and that the recent HBO Liberace movie with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon was shot all over the hotel.

If you haven’t seen this HBO movie and were a fan or simply intrigued. The ACTING by Mr. Douglas and Mr. Damon was stellar!
A must see!
