$50 Spa Treatments During Spa Week 2015, April 13-19

With April showers, comes the annual Spa Week event offering $50 spa treatments at day spas across the country. The popular beauty week runs from April 13-19, 2015. But appointments fill up quickly, so book your treatments today.  

Since spring is the perfect time to brighten up your skin with exfoliation treatments, we have our eye on microdermabrasion, peels and rejuvenating facials.  And anytime is the right time for an invigorating massage or body scrub. Some participating spas will accept a Spa Week gift card, so purchase one for a loved one or buy one to use next year.

Go ahead, treat yourself with a $50 Spa Week treatment./Image courtesy of Spa Week

From Spa Week's blog, here are highlights of a few of the hottest spa treatments available.

REFRESH YOUR COMPLEXION

The best spring and summer makeup looks always call for smooth, polished skin. Get ahead of the game with a refreshing facial that will leave your complexion glowing.  Exhale spa offers the amazing Sircuit Smart Facial Peel, a gentle peel treatment designed to lift and nourish dull skin. Exhale technicians follow the peel with a good round of extractions, and then finish with a luxurious facial massage.

GET IN THE MOOD

Before you worry about the big stuff, focus on shedding last season’s stress and shifting into summer mode.  
Red Door spas across the nation are offering a special Spa Week De-Stress Body Treatment that will help you find your center in time for spring and summer. Let the wear and tear of winter dissolve with this rejuvenating body treatment. And when you’re done, why not get in the zone for strappy-sandal season with a pedicure? Red Door is offering a special Spa Week Pedicure with your choice of gel polish; or, if you prefer, you can go for a Paraffin Hand Treatment. Either way, we’re finally free from snow boots and gloves, and that’s something to celebrate. 

BRIGHTEN YOUR SMILE

Once you’ve treated yourself to a bit of Spa Week wellness, you’ll have plenty of reason to smile. So why not kick it up a notch with a teeth whitening treatment to brighten up your grin? Head to the highly acclaimed  Skin Laundry for a special Teeth Whitening Session at the special Spa Week price of $50. What better way to top off a head-to-toe rejuvenation?

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Memorial Day Weekend 2023 Cultural Highlight: DanceAfrica Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Throughout Brooklyn

In her essay, " African Dance is Medicine for the Mind, Body and Spirit ," dancer, teacher and choreographer Cherie Hill wrote, "The more I perform African dance, the more I discover and enjoy euphoria.

In a Brooklyn that has quickly become gentrified, I love to see us walking tall, beaming with pride and to quote Bey, "shining, shining, shining, y

Does Your Cheap Jewelry Contain Lead?

Scouring street fairs, flea markets and discount shops for cheap, chunky costume jewelry is kinda our thing. As a sometime sidewalk sale seller and Etsy store owner, we’ve even sold thread earrings made in Brazil and Peru.  Street fair jewelry is cheap, but is if safe?/Photo by Tracy E. Hopkins Lately, however, we’ve noticed the label " lead compliant " on some of our fashion jewelry finds. But what does that mean? To get the skinny on lead compliance and what we should look for and avoid when shopping for budget costume jewelry, Everything She Wants asked two jewelry experts/medical doctors – Alexis Gopal and Matilde Parente -- for their tips. Everything She Wants : What does it mean when jewelry says, "lead compliant?"   Alexis Gopal : The term "lead compliant" means that the piece of jewelry conforms to the standards set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Information Act , which was signed into law in 2008. It set limits on the am
