Why Ritz Carlton beat Four Seasons (and every other 5 start hotel brand as well)

I received this email today for my friend and I who are planning to spend the 4th of July in New York. I chose downtown. I'm an old Marriott World Trade Center Gal.

Decorating Tips from the Pottery Barn

Nice tips. Nice people. They seem to have every other Sunday. I've made it to a couple. This was the first about using candles mostly. Today was about flowers and other decorations for small and very large events. Inexpensively!!!

Join other SpaGypsies at Copia on Saturday... South Salem, NY...Great food & beverages, educational seminars, including organic gardening and more.

If you don't live near by, pass it on to your friends...SpaGypsies, Earth Mamas and others....

SpaGypsy Day Spa Review: Simply L Spa, Greenwich, CT

I had the good fortune to go to Simply L Spa on Sunday, June 12th, for a massage. I went there because I was looking for a deal, but most places are not open on Sunday. I actually had gift certificates that I could have used at Noelle in Stamford, CT and others, but they are closed. My comments about the service:
-Deep Tissue Massage-5 star!
-Foot Massage-5 star!
-Hours of Operation-5 star!
-Staff-5 star!
-Facility-4 star! It's small which I like, but I could hear the reception phone ring which is generally annoying. (though my treatment was so great, I didn't let it bother me).
-Price-5 star! I bought a Spa Week gift certificate at 10% off on line, then took advantage of their grand opening special of 20% off. So with tip, 1 and 15 min. services was $100.00 with tip! That's a great deal, particularily in Greenwich, CT.
-Likely to return-Very Likely
-Will recommend-Definitely
