A colleague and I treated ourselves to a little slice of heaven the other day: manis + pedis @ The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta. AMAZING! It was amazing. I was not at all surprised that Atlanta Magazine recently rated it the city’s best luxury spa.
The Spa is incredibly luxurious and feels a bit European. It is not cheap, either, as they use some of the finest spa products available by names like Arcona, Karita, Bulgari, Kai and Sodashi. They will even let you tailor spa services to your specific needs. (Love ordering “off the menu!”) However, I might feel a little ridiculous booking a 60-minute appointment for someone to just rub my feet, although that = my heaven…
The Spa, itself, is relatively small in size, but that makes it feel more intimate - not like you are at a factory. And, it’s open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and you only need to give them an hour or so notice for most services. How nice - a spa that works around your schedule!

The nail technicians used the most incredible polish on our fingers and toesies made by SPARITUAL. I loved it so much – I couldn’t leave without a bottle of my own. SPARITUAL is a vegan nail lacquer free of DBP, formaldehyde and toluene. They have about 80 different colors and are only sold at the Four Seasons and Callaway Gardens in and around Atlanta. The color I used and purchased was “Flower Child” shimmer – it’s a perfect purple-based color for winter.

For better or for worse, some of my best dates in Atlanta have been with my friend EZ. She’s a fabulous date. She’s cute and funny and fun to be around and very creative in her date ideas and Friday was no exception. It was a GNO (Lexicon addition: Girls Night Out) in 4 parts:

Like Audrey, I take my cuticles very seriously. Even if I am broke as a joke, my manicure and pedicure are the last thing to go. You’ll never catch me without neatly lacquered nails. Fact.
And when I lived in the Eclipse, this was my go-to as well. It’s the cutest salon ever. It’s pink and girly and PRISTINE. It’s also the best place to get an adorable gift, they offer fabulous
