San Saba Spa is adding flare to its menu with a new Tequila themed package created for those wishing to add a twist to their spa experience. The Head-to-Toe Tequila Package is a new blend of infusion unique to the 5,200 square foot spa, located at Lakeway Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas. Currently the spa offers Massage & Martini's on Monday's, Facials & Frappuccino's on Tuesday's, Manicures & Mimosa's Wed. & Thurs. (Christina this is calling your name) and Pedicures & Pinot Grigio on Friday's.
The Resort is the largest on Lake Travis and offers a wonderful blend of resort facilities and amenities coupled with lakeside perks. This setting continues to instill the overall sense of hydrotherapy provided by the spa. In fact, each guest who partakes of this new packaged indulgence begins their spa experience in the relaxation room with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and balconies overlooking the lake. The tranquil effects of the water, with sweeping views and audible tones, provide the ideal beginning to the relaxation about to unfold. With sensory sight and sound at peace, fresh fruit and beverages provide a flavorful element for the palette, soon to be followed by scent and touch.
The experience continues in the treatment room with a lime and sea salt scrub – an accompaniment to the theme. The refreshing citrus awakens and rejuvenates, while the aromatherapy deep tissue massage is the perfect complement to follow. The subtle scent of sage and tequila infused oil fulfills all desires of the last two senses and leaves the guest in an exquisite state of relaxation.
After the treatments, guests can continue to unwind with a complimentary top shelf margarita with breathtaking views of the lake in any one of three dining outlets. Plan your spa day to end just before sunset for an exceptional treat.
The Head-to-Toe Tequila package will be available beginning June 1, 2008. The package retails at $210.00, including gratuity, for the 25-minute lime and sea salt scrub, followed by the 50-minute tequila and sage deep tissue massage (worm may or may not be included). Services may also be purchased individually. For additional details or to make reservations visit Lakeway Resort and Spa's website.
Ps. I was kidding about the worm just in case there were some of you who got excited about that part!

A dermatologist friend of mine, Dr. Benabio, writes an excellent blog that I think everyone should be reading--The Derm Blog. He was also recently quoted in O, the Oprah Magazine (so you know he's got to be good). I decided to get his expert opinion on some skincare questions and share them all with you.
What is the best way to treat oily/combination skin without drying out your skin?
I occasionally find that when I use products meant to control sebum, that sebum seems to be produced even more. How can I stop that awful shine in my T-zone without messing up my skin?
Believe it or not, you are lucky. Oily skin is easier to manage and often appears younger than dry, irritated skin. You just need to focus on products that will reduce your skin's natural oils. In the morning, use a cleanser for oily skin such as Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser. You also probably like using toners and can tolerate one like Kiehl's Tea Tree Oil Toner. The next product is the important one: Apply an oil control gel such as Ferndale Clinac O.C. Oil Control Gel before applying your sunscreen and makeup. This will prevent that oily shine from surfacing. At night, use the same cleanser. You could also try a facial scrub once a week, such as Philosophy Microdelivery peel.
Which skincare products do you recommend for: acne-prone skin, dry skin, combination skin?
For acne-prone skin use a salicylic acid cleanser such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Then apply a benzoyl peroxide cream such as Oxy Balance with 5% benzoyl peroxide (5% is just as effective as 10% and is a lot less irritating).
For dry skin, use a cleansing cream like Noxzema Cleansing Cream. Never use a toner, as this will likely dry out your skin further. Then use a moisturizer like Eucerin Sensitive Facial Skin Q10 with SPF 15. You should try to moisturize one more time during the day if possible.
Which product do you feel is the most over rated and which is the best but seems under valued?
Overrated: Strivectin (the "better than Botox?" cream). It's not. Undervalued: prescription retin-A creams like Renova.
Can you give 3 do's and don'ts for skin care?
Do: Wear a broad- spectrum sunscreen every day. Don't believe all the hype that lots of sun is good for you. See my post on tanning for much more detail.
Do: Wash your makeup off completely every night. It can lead to clogged pores, pimples, and even skin infections.
Do: Realize that women and men even in their 20's can get melanoma. Check your skin regularly and see a physician if you have a changing or concerning mole.
Don't: waste money on products that are not designed for your particular skin. Many women with dry skin waste money on toners while women with oily skin waste money on expensive moisturizers. Know what your skin needs and choose products accordingly. Also, remember that many over-the-counter skin care products are just as effective as more expensive designer products.
Don't: use a magnifying mirror and tweezers to find and pick at pimples or other minor skin blemishes. I promise you, you will only make it worse.
Don't: get medical advice or treatments, including Botox, fillers, and lasers from a non-professional. Be sure that a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon is present if you are going to have any invasive cosmetic procedures performed.
As a mom, it completely breaks my heart when I hear about a child in need of medical attention. It breaks my heart further when their insurance company denies to pay for that treatment. Local Northeast PA 1st grader, Meadow Quinn, needs to raise $70,000 to pay for a feeding clinic program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Knowing that I have so many unused beauty products just sitting here, I have decided to help out.
Meadow Quinn has a disease called Neurofibromatosis. She has several inoperable tumors and has been fed through a feeding tube since she was 18 months old. A feeding clinic that will require a 4 week stay will help her to learn to eat like any other 7 year old. Can you imagine knowing that there is something out there that will help your child--it is within reach--yet you don't have the money to pay for it?
Meadow mentioned on Oprah's Big Give

Seems spring has been completely skipped over here in the Poconos and summer has stepped in. My hair is super long with no intentions to cut it and I needed some heat relief. Normally, I have no where important to go, just running errands or doing mom stuff that doesn't require me to be a glamazon, so it's normally pulled back into a ponytail on warm days. When I saw Hairagami's Spring Rings at my local CVS the other day, I thought it was the answer to some fashionable updo hair.
25 tries and hours later I was frustrated. I kept following the directions of a low ponytail, twisting my hair up my head and then using the pointed end from bottom to top and interlocking the two for a secure fit. It just wasn't happening. Either the "knots" on the Spring Rings were getting caught into my hair not allowing me to twist around my hair further (when there was much more Spring to go) or I'd get it twisted around only to let go and have my hair fall to my shoulders. No matter how hard I tried it just wouldn't hold my hair.
My hair isn't unusually thick and the length goes mid-back. There's nothing on the package that says it you have long hair that it won't work, etc. and I honestly felt like a complete hair idiot. Why couldn't I get these things to work!?
I took a break and tried again on day two, but after about 40 minutes, I gave up. It just was not meant to be. So back to my boring ponytail until I can find something to make me look like the fashionista that I am. 'Cause no one is believing that I am when I am all mommy-fied.
Have you tried these? Have they worked for you? *Photo Credit: Hairagami

Malynda Vigliotti (aka Boom Boom) opened Boom Boom Beauty Bar in Santa Rosa, California three years ago and now she’s taking a bite out of the Big Apple with Boom Boom Beauty Bar at 35 7th Avenue. Boom Boom, known to be quite the character, has some pretty hilarious names for her waxing, tinting and makeup applications...
Naturally there are arms, brows, chin, etc. known as "Uptown--Above the Fabulous Belt" then of course you have your typical bikini area and legs "Downtown--Below the Fabulous Belt." If we want to talk about your nether region, you can take a "Trip to Brazil" or have your "Landing Strip" or "Bermuda Triangle" taken care of. I nearly spit my coffee out when I saw that men can be taken care of with her "For the Boys--Back, Crack & Sack" option.
While Boom Boom may have a wonderful sense of humor and makes beauty fun, she is also well trained from the Fashion Institute of Technology and worked in the fashion & beauty business for a long while. She also gives back and donates 1% of all services to UNICEF.
Humor and kindness in your beauty technician? It sounds like a lot of fun to me, plus this place is gorgeous!

I know I am not laten with wrinkles, but I am very aware that my skin is aging. My face sags in places it never did before, fine wrinkles seem to pop up everyday and there are plenty of days I just don't want to be reminded that I am almost 34. Shortly before Fashion Week I began trying ReVive's Moisturizing Renewal Cream. I always seem the most skeptical of expensive creams ($165), but when I began getting compliment after compliment on my skin, it made me a believer.
ReVive's Moisturizing Renewal Cream is a night cream that is not as thick as it looks in the jar. It is a "dry" kind of night cream--meaning I felt no oily residue as I smoothed it over my skin. It just seemed to absorb as quickly as I applied it. The Moisturizing Renewal Cream contains glycolic acid, so while your skin is being hydrated it also utilizing this exfoliant to shed your dead, dull skin cells.
When I met David Evangelista he was flabberghasted when I mentioned my age and how many kids I had during our conversation. He genuinely asked, "Really? You Look 12! Wow, I thought you were college-age let alone in your 30's with 4 kids! Your skin looks amazing. You really look so much younger."
I know I keep posting this same picture over and over, but not only did my makeup look outstanding (thank you Lancome!) but my skin looked ridiculously fabulous too!
This is great stuff and I cannot deny it based on the results.

It's about that time of year ladies (and men). This past week here in PA the temps were near 70 and I found myself slipping on my sandals. Make sure your feet are in tip top shape by regularly exfoliating them and keeping them moisturized. Aromafloria's For Feet's Sake line should do just that.
Double Action Spa Foot Scrub: This is a thick sugar scrub for your feet that will also invigorate your senses. The organic peppermint & eucalyptus are refreshing and also feel great on your skin. This scrub really works great to soften your heals and other callouses on your feet.
Intense Repair Spa Foot Butter: There is no greater way to pamper your feet than to apply a moisturizing lotion to them after exfoliating. Aromafloria's Spa Foot Butter has aloe to soothe and essential oils and shea butter to deeply hydrate. Just like the Spa Foot Scrub, the Spa Foot Butter has organic peppermint & eucalyptus for a stimulating fragrance.
Both products are $10.50 each and available at Aromafloria.com. Have you tried them?
Because, really? This product is so great, don't waste your time reading my review--go out and get it!
Ok, if you insist on a full review, where do I begin? I honestly didn't believe the hype about this self tanner because I have yet to come across one that 1. Does not smell bad 2. Is moisturizing like a lotion and 3. Gives a truly natural "tanned" look. Yet, from the moment I opened the bottle and the light fragrance reminded me of walking into Bath & Body Works, I knew this self tanner was going to be a stand out.
Aqua Tan's Body Milk is creamy like a thin silky lotion and appears white as you disperse it into your hands. However, as you smooth it over your skin it is clear and feels (and smells) much like a lotion as well. The Body Milk is moisturizing with Shea Butter, Kukui Nut Oil, Avocado Oil, Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E. The Body Milk absorbs quickly--by the time I was done applying it to my arms and legs it was dry and I was able to put my clothes back on right away.
I didn't notice any immediate color to my skin, that came about 2 hours later and it literally looked like I had been sunbathing on the beach in Aruba. I'm very fair skinned and my skin was a gorgeous light bronze color. I was so pleased that one application really had such great results and I applied another application the following day. Just two applications lasted me about 8 days without having to apply anymore and without immediately fading.
Do make sure you wash your hands well after applying Aqua Tan, as I thought I had gotten it all off my hands until the following day when I noticed a lone bronze spot. While this self tanner is $37--don't hesitate--it is worth every penny!
I'm saving my bottle now until shorts weather so that I can show off the gorgeous color without having ever stepped out into the sun. Fabulous!

So excited that I was asked by All Top who the best beauty bloggers were. I am not going to lie--I totally said I was. ha. No surprise to those who know me and that this year is "all about me" (poke Christina). More exciting than seeing my blogs on All Top, are seeing a big group of my friends as well. Great blogs like Beauty Addict, Makeup Bag, Afrobella, The Derm Blog and many more.
Go check it out and discover many other great blogs!
- Looking for a quick lift? Brush on raw egg whites; they shrink as it dries leaving your face firm and soft. Let it sit on your skin for 10 minutes and rinse with water. Viola!
- Don’t just drink it! Chamomile tea is great for easing irritated, red and/or puffy skin. For the eyes, chamomile tea bags soaked in cold water will do the trick – blot with a paper towel and apply to eyes. For your skin, boil water and pour it into a spray bottle. Add a bag of chamomile tea, brew and place in fridge until cool. Then, mist on your face for easy relief. Chamomile tea can also help clear up acne.
- If your face is starting to reflect stress and fatigue, restore a super radiant glow to your skin with a mini facial. Start by washing your face with your usual cleanser; wait a minute before rinsing to make sure all dirt and oil is loosened. Next, soak a washcloth in hot water and several drops of lavender essential oil (which will soothe your skin). Gently press over your face to loosen pores, concentrating on your t-zone. Apply this facial mask to give skin a glow. Blend 1 cup of chopped pineapple (alpha-hydroxy acids lift dead skin cells and debris) and 3 tbsp. of olive oil. Apply this facial mask to give skin a glow, leave on for ten minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. Finish by massaging your face gently with a moisturizer for five minutes to help relieve tension.
- Nobody likes an unkempt bikini line. But what’s the best way to get that perfectly groomed bikini body? Shaving and plucking can fix any immediate hair removal need, but waxing is the easiest and most efficient way to achieve the perfect bikini line. To make waxing easy, you should exfoliate regularly between treatments while your hair is growing out. After waxing, you can also apply a moisturizer with soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients such as aloe, licorice extract or green tea, to combat any redness. 1% hydrocortisone cream also works wonders to relieve post-wax skin irritation.
The following beauty tips from Joyce Carboni, founder and CEO of Skinsational Skin and Body Spa in San Diego, allow any woman to be beautiful on a small time and cash budget. Joyce is a licensed esthetician committed to educating men and women on how to easily care for their skin at home through her useful tips and her signature line of skin and body care products. And with over 25 years of skin and body care experience, she understands that sometimes, all you have is ten minutes and the products in your cupboard. And with the summer months just around the corner, she even unlocks the secret to keeping that unruly bikini line groomed and hair free.
- Take advantage of those extra coffee grounds! For extra smooth and firm skin, brew a pot of coffee and use the left over warm grounds in the shower as an exfoliant. The caffeine has a mildly firming effect and the grounds will softly exfoliate your skin leaving it smooth and delicious.
- Got milk? Instead of cleanser, reach for that milk! Milk of magnesia that is. Just as magnesium hydroxiate acts as an anti acid in your belly, it neutralizes oily skin.
- Need to exfoliate? Blend oatmeal, sugar or even cornmeal with a small amount of oil (vegetable or olive) and a raw egg yoke. The Vitamin A from the egg makes this a natural retinoid and is great because Vitamin A is a dominant vitamin of the skin! If you use oatmeal, it acts as a skin softener and also has amino acids, which help draw in moisture.
Just be sure to avoid any scratches or cuts; if mixed with that raw egg, you could end up with an infection or even worse, salmonella!" Joyce says.
- Have a zit? Crush aspirin and blend with water until you have a nice paste. Dilute the paste with water and apply to your zit. Aspirin has salicylic acid, the same beta hydroxy acid that is used in numerous acne products and peels – who knew!
