Decadence in Chocolate and Beauty

by S

For those of you who love chocolate as much as I do, here are some spa destinations that may just be better than sex.

The Hotel Sacher, in Vienna, Austria is best known for their famous Sacher Torte not only serves some of the best chocolate in the world on a plate but in their Spa’s Luxurious Hot Chocolate Treatments! Indulge in a Chocolate Body Scrub, a Chocolate Body Mask and finish with a Chocolate Body Lotion.

Next on our list is the exotic hideaway of Los Altos de Eros Luxury Inn and Spa, in Costa Rica. Your day will begin with the calls of the Howler Monkeys in the nearby trees. After you leave your suite, you’ll walk down the teak steps, viewing both the tropical forest and the ocean you’ll come to the Spa de Eros. Now it’s time to soak in the Balinese tub, filled with “Chocolate Decadence”, soothing waters of chocolate, essential oils and flower petals. Heaven on Earth.

Our last chocolate paradise is in our own back yard, The Hotel Hershey. If you’ve never been to Hershey Pennsylvania, (and you’re a chocolate lover) you’re in for a treat. As soon as you’re within a mile of the town you’ll want to turn down your windows. The sweet smell of chocolate is always in the air in this quaint little town.

The Hotel Hershey’s “Chocolate Spa” spa is dedicated to the love of chocolate. Experience a whipped cocoa bath, a chocolate bean polish and a chocolate fondue wrap, just to name a few.

When you’re finished in the spa, you can visit Hershey Park (just for fun) or enjoy a quiet walk in the gardens at the Hotel.

Travelers Delight: Voluspa Candle Tins

by Beyond Beauty Basics

Individual, sets of three or my favorite set of eight, you choose. These fragrant candles in decorative tins are a perfect gift for the constant traveler in your life.

If you’ve never been to a hotel that your room has the leftover scent from dinner the night before or the musty scent of the ocean, you’ve been very lucky. I personally take a travel candle everywhere I go.

The set of eight really is the perfect gift for your traveling friend.

It includes candles in the scents of Tuberosa Agave, Cult of Helios, Pink Fatale, Green Datura, Vanity, Corsica, Malayan Coco and Fleur de Café and each candle burns for 45 hours.

You, or they will love it.

For the Drag Queen in all of Us: Fekkai Sparkling Shimmer Spray

by Beyond Beauty Basics

This fabulous shimmer spray comes (again) to the scene. It came and went so quickly last year I barely had enough to last throughout the Season.

This glittery spray leaves a golden sparkle on everything it comes in contact with (hair, clothes, even some decorative fruit if you like). Live it up, add a little sparkle.

Love it, have to have it (again and again and again).

Limited time only
