Out With The Old – In With The New

Re • ju • ve • nate - To restore to a former state; make fresh or new again

Season is finally starting to slow, or wait, is it?? Whether your schedule is still at rapid pace or you're already packing your Tory Burch tunic, Louboutin wedges and Balenciaga shades, rejuvenating is always a good thing. Here are a few tricks that help keep me going. - KL


Eau Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach
The dream of all spas… I just can’t seem to get enough of this new divine oasis. What I love most is the Pause, Play and Perfect philosophy which sets the tone for this perfect retreat to rejuvenate. Treatments are preformed in stylish, modern baroque designed rooms, where you can select a day-glow lighting color of choice (think hot pink, bright blue…) and choose between playlists (created by favorite local mix master Jean Marc) depending on your mood. The experience doesn’t end there – check out the Scrub and Polish Bar to custom create your own exfoliating couture concoction (try lavender, eucalyptus, spicy ginger...) and head over to the Bath Lounge for a true soaking experience. Spend the rest of the day lingering in the Self-Centered Garden, I highly recommend the swings! Add a glass of champagne and mini chocolate cupcakes (yes, this spa serves chocolate) and you truly have the perfect retreat to rejuvenate.
