NIGHTLIGHT: Spa Week at the Prince George Ballroom

On October 7, Whom You Know was invited to the Spa Week Media Party, which heralds the start of Spa Week in the city once again, to the relief and delight of us overworked and stressed-out souls! Peachy Deegan attended along with the gorgeous women of Whom You Know.

Dove, one of the major sponsors of Spa Week, hosted the Pitticure, which was a highlight of the event, being the official Spa Week treatment. The Pitticure consists of an application of Dove moisturizer on both arms, followed by a massage wherein the moisturizer gets worked into the skin and the muscles are eased of all tension and tightness (thanks, Shira, my arms felt much better the rest of the evening!), as administered on a lounge chair in a makeshift white cloth-draped, relaxed spa setting. Ahh!

A myriad of other spa and beauty treatments (foot massage, chair massage, nail decal manicures, makeunder by Bare Escentuals) were well-attended and enjoyed by all attendees present. And to keep us going in between treatments, Rioja wines, Honest Tea and Hint provided the beverages and Flame Deal and Events and Catering provided scrumptious lite bites. It's a great start to Spa Week and some of us will definitely visit a participating spa or two for some well-deserved pampering! Check out our recent coverage of Elizabeth Arden:

We even saw Mover and Shaker Renee Smith with Bare Escentuals:

Ah, yes, it's that time of year again...can't you just sense it in the air? All over the country, spa-goers are gearing up for Fall 2010 Spa Week, which runs from October 11th - October 17th at participating spas around the country! With the mission of making the spa lifestyle a reality for all, Spa Week (created and founded by Cheryl Reid) features all kinds of spas (day spas, medical spas, and resort spas) offering top treatments for only $50 each!

Massages, facials, nail services and more that can cost well upwards of $100, are all blissfully discounted for this bi-annual event! We played the "spa trivia" game, where some of us emerged victorious (and received a gorgeous red lace body suit from Hanky Panky as a prize!) and then we stopped by the Dove Deodorant area, where they were featuring "pitticures" and had a terrific time! Not only did we receive some great tips on caring for the sensitive underarm area (did you know you're supposed to shave at the END of the shower?), but also we received an amazing hand and arm massage from Liz of D'Mai Urban Spa! Finally, it was over to the Bare Escentuals booth where we received a terrific "make-under" and was pleasantly surprised by the smooth, even-toned, radiant face that peered back at me in the mirror at the end of the service! Oh, and how could I forget - in between all of this, we were nibbing on delicious goodies like marshmallows and fruit dunked in a fountain of chocolate and sipping on terrific Rioja. Food? Check! Drinks? Check! Pampering? Check! Indulgence? Check! All in all, a highly enjoyable evening...now, on to deciding which $50 services to book next week!

And Peachy just loved the photo booth! Happy Spa Week!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
