Slightly New Direction, Brand New Year

I know that we’re not quite through to the new year yet, but I’m starting to think towards that direction already. I have to if I’m going to do any sort of editorial planning at all.

To that end, I asked you guys what you wanted to see here, and I got almost 40 responses, which is a fantastic amount of feedback! So, let’s see….

Julie asked for more product reviews, home treatments and giveaways. Don’t worry Julie, I’m working on all of those things. And girl, seriously, this holiday season, get your ass to a spa and indulge a little! How do I get ahold of your guy?? He should be making sure you get your butt there and soon!

Sharon is interested in more products for teens and tweens – skin care for those just getting started on a routine.

Paige has sensitive skin and naturally wants to know more about what she can use on that skin that won’t irritate. Paige, I think I have something here that will help… Let me check.

Janet is interested in products for aging skin, and Janet, I think I’ve got something for you as well… I haven’t tried it yet, but I know there’s a give away attached to it! Stay tuned.

Other opinions from readers who didn’t leave a link include products not tested on animals (I’ve got a couple of those to check out at the moment), spa gizmos and if those same gizmos are worth the money you have to pay for them; creating homemade spa treatments and more.

First, I want all my readers to know that I’ve got things cooking for all of your suggestions, and I’m pleased to see that what I was planning on is, for the most part, on track.  The next few weeks, at least, include reviews, recipes and information from The Green Beauty Guide, a review of The Ciminelli Solution, a 7-day Plan for Radiant Skin; review and give away for the Auromere Mud Bath and Mask, some fanastic hair smoothers and frizz tamers and much much more! When I say stay tuned, I really mean it! Also, I’ll have a shopping page where you can find all the products reviewed on Spa Beautifully so they’re easily searchable.

Second, I also want to let you know that I’m going to be looking at products that can give you a true spa experience right at home – everything from fluffy, luxurious bath robes, new towels, items to make your bathroom look and smell like a spa! There will still be reviews of spas for sure, but these days, it’s more important than ever that our money is spent wisely, and so that might mean an occasional splurge rather than a weekly trip to the manicurist.

Don’t forget that the Tassi giveaway ends tomorrow night (Sunday) at midnight PST! Drawing will take place on Monday the 22nd and I’ll email the winner right away!
