Your Sanctuary!

One of my favorite day spa's in NYC, Soho Sanctuary, is taking $25 off of your next spa treatment! Now is the perfect time to pamper ourselves. Your bosses summer vacation is over so now your work is piling up to meet deadlines. Kids are back to school and need help with homework and projects. Rush hour traffic is back that's cause for that evening migraine... Must I go on! I'm sure you can think of your own excuse why a day at the spa (or even an hour) is well deserving right about now!

$25 GIFT FOR YOU!

Enjoy this gift towards any service in the Spa, Beauty Loft, or Fitness Studio.
Mention promotion code "Fall Gift" when booking.

Share this Gift with a Friend. Forward Email.

Helen Julia can also be your spa away from spa! Light a candle and relax is always a secondary choice for my relax, relate and release moments!

Feel Good Mondays: The Spa Treatment

Welcome to our weekly posts "Feel Good Monday's". I know how challenging it can be to jump-start your day after a nice weekend. Monday's are a drag but it's a kick-off to the week. So, I thought I'd help start the week off "feeling good". Every Monday, I'll post a feel good blog to help you get through your day while adding a friendly reminder to take a deep breath, exhale and stop taking life so seriously!

Doesn't a spa treatment sound fantastic? I know I'm way overdue for the spa! Just picture yourself getting a deep tissue massage (by a handsome masseur or beautiful masseuse)... Of course I had to throw that in there to get the visual accurate! ;-) Then off to the steam room to relieve all of that stress that made you book the appointment for the spa in the first place! Now just picture it...

Aren't you ready to book that appointment today? You deserve it! Some of my favorite spas I love to visit when it's "about that time" to take the edge off are:

• Soho Sanctuary (New York City, Soho)
• Gansevoort Spa (New York City, Meatpacking District)
• Eden Day Spa (New York City, Tribeca)
• Walker's Apothecary (Jersey City, NJ)
• Skin Couture (Los Angeles, CA)

I promise you will not be disappointed after an experience at these locations! I know our schedules can get out of hand where it's hard to find some ME time. Therefore, if you cannot physically get to a spa, bring the spa to you and save on cash. That's where Helen Julia comes into play! Experience luxury through aromatherapy by burning our beautifully scented soy candles. Some of our favorite candles are Terrycloth Robe (Fresh Laundry Scent), Pearl Drop (Grapefruit Citrus & Lavender Scent) and Cashmere Cloud (Amber, Jasmine, Sandalwood and Musk Scent) just to name a few. Lighting a Helen Julia Candle will dramatically improve your mood.

Isn't your Monday beginning to look and feel better!

Walking The Walk And Not Just Talk!

Shalea Walker of Walker's Apothecary can definitely talk the talk as she's full steppin' walking the walk! From celebrity makeup artist to spa owner, this licensed esthetician has a true passion for beauty!

The sophisticated beauty boutique, Walker's Apothecary, stands behind exceptional products it stocks on its shelves. From Votivo to Skinceuticals, Heirloom Botanicals to Archipelago and now Helen Julia Candles!

When you walk in the serene establishment with its beautiful dark grey painted walls and silver lined logo, you immediately feel a calmness overcome you while calming music plays in the background. I really enjoy the personal and comforting environment Walker's Apothecary exudes. You definitely feel taken care of; whether you are receiving a manicure/pedicure, massage, facial, etc. Your experience is personal and not just a "client/business" relationship.

Visit Walker's Apothecary at 68 Mercer Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302. The residential neighborhood has beautiful brownstone apartment buildings along side of the streets with great restaurants to go to right after your day at the spa!

Relax, Relate & Release!

Spa Week is back! Hallelujah! What a long winter this has been! We can finally put cold weather and snow storms behind us (I hope)! Steam room, deep tissue massage and calming music are calling for my undivided attention. We are all under a budget these days and luxuries like relaxing spa treatments are put on the backburner for a later time. Wait no more! Enjoy $50 spa treatments that can fit into your budget during spa week! We all deserve to revive, refresh and renew ourselves. Treat yourself to a day of no worries and the focus of attention is just you!

If you cannot physically get to a spa, you can at least feel the spa treatment of relaxation at home when you burn Helen Julia's Candles. Lighting our candles will dramatically improve your mood... I promise!
