My First Time Relaxing—and Getting Sweaty—in an Infrared Sauna

I’m pretty much a sucker for anything that has “spa” in the title. Massages, facial treatments, acupuncture…if it’s supposed to be relaxing and good for you, sign me up. So when I had the chance to try an infrared sauna therapy session at Sunlight Day Spa—which is a part of the company Sunlighten that just [...]

Who’s on Jenn’s Personal Health Professional Wish List?

A few weeks back, one of our fave bloggers Peanut Butter Fingers posed a really good question: If you could have any sort of personal health professional, who would you choose? Since last month we talked fitness bucket lists for our Question of the Week, this time, we decided to tackle this slightly different twist [...]

Need to Reward Yourself? Hit Up Spa Week

I’ve never been a spa kind of gal. Sure, I love a good massage. But I’m not a manicure/pedicure/waxing kind of girl. I’m lucky to get my hair highlighted twice a year. And that is no joke. But when I got the opportunity to try a spa treatment to preview National Spa Week? Well, you [...]

The Perfect (Cheap!) Self Massage Product for Your Scalp

So I was doing some Christmas shopping over the long-ago holidays, when I saw what I thought was a whisk in the bath products section of a store. It struck me as strange, so I took a closer look. It wasn’t a whisk at all, but a head massager that looked a bit like a [...]

Vacation Workout Report

Do you know how much I love that a bunch of you who echoed my thoughts about working out on vacation? It was really great to come home to your lovely comments. It was also lovely to wake up at my leisure and fit in a good, long workout between first and second breakfast while [...]

A Visit With the Knot Whisperer

Oh, how I love a good massage. When my chiropractor told me massages were part of the type of therapy and healing she practiced, my back perked up a bit. I always assumed massages were a luxury that the fortunate got for birthdays and really bad days. I never knew that a good massage can actually [...]

Dole It Out: A Work Trip That Was Good for the Soul

The good peeps at Dole asked FBG Tish and me to attend its second-annual Healthy Lifestyle Blogger Summit earlier this month. Okay, I”ll be honest. They first asked one of us to fly out to Los Angeles and stay at the Four Seasons to discuss all things healthy eating, which I happily agreed to do. [...]

How Do You Like to Relax?

I’d like to say that every time I start to get stressed, I take a 10-minute break to meditate or do yoga or save the planet with happy thoughts. But, come on, I’m human. And like everyone else, I have a lot on my plate. Which is why Thursday’s review of those relaxing bath soaks [...]

Soak It All In: Trying Dr. Teal’s Bath and Foot Soaks

I didn’t used to take a lot of baths. They always seemed too indulgent—just sitting there and getting pruney for 15 minutes or so. (Not to mention that I usually spend half the time thinking about how I really, really need to clean my tub more thoroughly.) But then the peeps at Dr. Teals sent [...]

Daycation, All I Ever Wanted (Plus a SOYJOY Daycation Giveaway!)

I’m a planner. As much as I love to travel (and oh, I love to travel), I take almost as much pleasure in planning the details of the trip as I do in taking the trip itself. I’m not even a little embarrassed to admit that, for my last major vacation, I had not one [...]
