Water Baby

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

bbb-wet-steam-room-compressed.jpgAfter a snow day full of frigid temps and cabin-fevered kids, you need to warm up — and chill out.

Body by Brooklyn spa in Clinton Hill offers an all-day hydrotherapy experience in their Wet Lounge. Slip on a swimsuit and spend hours enjoying the therapeutic saunas, steam room, hot tub and plunge pool. For $44, start with a weekend brunch (in your bathrobe, of course) then progress to hours of aquatic self-reflection.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

On the Town

Monday, December 15th, 2008

new-image5.JPGAfter toy shopping and entertaining the in-laws, you’ll be very ready for a night out — and a babysitter. Considering you haven’t seen the inside of a restaurant (or had a haircut!) since summer, you’ve saved up for a small holiday splurge.

To treat yourself to a little pre-dinner primping, hit up Xac Anthony’s unconventional Friday night happy hour. The salon and spa hosts a weekly “Tequila Sunset” event from 5 to 9pm that includes groovy tunes and free cocktails with your scheduled blowout or brow shaping. The evening can be part of your mom posse bonding, or a pit stop before date night with your DH.

Think of it as beauty junkie multi-tasking.

Midnight Maintenance

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Your only chance at “me time” happens after 11pm or before 6am. Too bad that’s when the city that never sleeps actually takes a cat nap.

But the new Hairparty24 offers 24/7 services, for those in need of a midnight manicure or a blow dry before dawn. If you’re not into at-home highlights, the Korean spa will get you polished, waxed or pedicured in time to have breakfast with the kids or a late-night dinner date with your DH.

That is, if you can find a sitter.
