Aaaahhhh. There’s nothing like a relaxing retreat to a spa in Scottsdale. We love the VH Spa at the Hotel Valley Ho in Old Town, for their unique menu of services and the relaxing atmosphere of the retro-chic hotel in Scottsdale.

If you’re looking for a way to escape this May, perhaps for Mother’s Day or Graduation, check out the following spa services available at VH Spa:

Orange Lemongrass Sportstone Massage
60 minutes, $125 + 20% service charge based on original price of $150
This invigorating massage incorporates the use of a heated, flat stone that encourages lymphatic drainage and the release of adhesions in the connective tissue and musculature. Perfect for those with tired muscles who engage in the often exhausting sport of motherhood!

Foot Reflexology
30 minutes, $50 + 20% service charge based on original price of $65
After a thorough bamboo scrubbing of the soles, the pressure points of the feet are targeted to bring relaxation and an overall sense of well being. Those feet walking around ASU campus’ for the last 4 years could use a break like this!

Moroccanoil Hydration Ritual
60 minutes, $100 + 20% service charge based on original price of $125
The ultimate stress relief for muscles and hydration for skin. Hair and scalp are revitalized while elements of reflexology and hot stones soothe the tired muscles of the neck, shoulders, feet, and hands. Moroccanoil’s Body Buff and Intense Hydrating Treatment will leave hands and feet smooth and replenished!

Reservations are recommended and can be made at 480.248.2000 or online www.vhspa.com.

Old isn’t anything to have near your face and this includes your makeup. Ditch the old compact and give your makeup a makeover with Zethina’s cosmetic trade in program. Until May 5, the cosmetic and skin care spa company is taking your old makeup, and giving you $5 for each old cosmetic item towards the purchase of a new item. Trade in all your old junk and stockpile the good stuff to pile on your pretty face. Products must be full-sized to participate.
