Bliss meets serious skincare therapy at Spa tacular Sleekskin! I visited Spa tacular Sleekskin for a facial treatment with the owner Debbie Davis, who runs the uber successful, one-woman show in Scottsdale.

Already a fan of the Scosh skincare and makeup line, Sunny the SpaGirl called on mother-in-law Nancy to check out the new Scosh digs. Nancy’s no-nonsense approach to beauty and super sleuth personality made her perfect for the job (plus Sunny can always use mother-in-law points). Here is her report: As a woman "of a [...]

After weeks of frustration with bumpy skin that wasn’t disguise-able with makeup, my favorite Arizona Spa Girl, Lisa, recommended that I pay a visit to Denise. As you know probably know from [...]

Once co-owner Lorrie retrieved me from the office waiting room and led me to her studio, I was transported to a comfy zone of soothing brown and blue hues. My treatment du jour was the [...]
There’s just something about Maggie. It had been nearly 7 years since I last visited her at the resort spa where she still works a few days a week.
