It’s as simple as 1-2-3. To keep your hair color as vibrant as if you’d just left the salon chair, all you have to do is apply two or three small dabs of the product throughout dry or damp hair (longer hair may need a further dab). No need to rinse, I just ran my fingers through my mane and was out the door.

The Lodge at Woodloch is serving up some tasty treatments this summer season. Added to the spa’s menu are two new services that are delectable, rejuvenating, and oh-so-scrumptious!

Searching for a safe way to achieve that radiant glow this summer? Instead of hitting the tanning bed or roasting in the sun’s harmful rays, try a sunless spray tan at your local spa. It’s quick, painless, and most of all, a healthy alternative when it comes to achieving that sun-kissed look.

There are so many self-tanning lotions out there (and believe me, my pale skin has tried them all), but the Yves Rocher line is quickly becoming one of the staples in my ever-expanding collection of beauty products. One of the main reasons? Lack of that not-so-lovely smell that seems to linger hours after application with most lotions.

For wine enthusiasts and ardent spa-goers alike, vinotherapy is a great blend. Vinotherapy, or spa treatments that utilize products containing ingredients from grapes and grape seed extracts, could almost be considered a vintage practice in Europe, particularly in notable wine regions such as France, Italy, and Spain, before spa-goers across the Atlantic were offered a taste. Now vinotherapy is the toast of many spas across the United States—from barrel baths and merlot body wraps to chardonnay facials and grape massage at spas spanning from Sonoma to the south of Texas to the east coast.

You don’t have to be a wine connoisseur (or spa aficionado, for that matter) to enjoy these getaway resorts—these Californian retreats warmly welcome you with a taste of wine country. Cheers!
