Easy Peasey Pedicure

Because I'm like the most broke I've been in ages, I've been trying to save money by finding Los Angeles spa deals (hence, this blog.) So I heard from a friend about Oasis Nail Spa in Burbank and if you make an appointment for before 4 p.m. for a pedicure, you can get a $1 manicure. That's one of those freaking amazing Los Angeles spa deals! And if you get your eyebrows waxed, then you can also get your lip waxed for free. Just too good for Los Angeles spa deals. Waxing, pedicure, manicure - one stop shop. Not to mention it's clean, professional, quick - all of those things that you want in an LA spa. I would highly recommend it as far as my Los Angeles spa deals go.

Beauty on a Budget a.k.a. Free Samples!

I'm going to diverge from our traditional Los Angeles spa deals, and tell you guys about The Beauty Event at Neiman Marcus. Through March 7, if you go to Neiman Marcus and spend $100, (which, let's be real, is not that hard, especially when you have to pick up new spring colors,) you get a huge bag of goodies, which is more than you get through most Los Angeles spa deals. Samples of Van Cleef and Arpels perfume and La Mer serum? Sold. I prefer samples to full-sizes anyway because I always get bored of my beauty products after a while. It's so fun to try new things and maybe find a new staple in your beauty routine - a new eye cream, facial moisturizer or lipstick color. So you'd better hit Neiman Marcus up in Los Angeles and enjoy one of my non Los Angeles spa deals!

Breaking out of Bad Skin

I've been breaking out since my winter break. It must be turning the heat on my apartment, which dries out my skin. So now that I look like I've hit puberty again, I've been looking for Los Angeles spa deals to rejuvenate my tired skin. I bought a voucher from SocialBuy.com for $100 worth of services for $50! Good deal. Now I'm debating about all the Los Angeles spa deals they offer in the form of facials. The SilkPeel is their signature, but I think I might need something a little stronger in the form of the salicylic facial, which is for blackheads and enlarged pores. Sounds like it'll clear my face right up. Now that's one of those Los Angeles spa deals I can really reap the benefits from.

The Softer Side of The Raven

I just went to The Raven in Silver Lake. So it wasn't like they were putting on Los Angeles spa deals, but I just really enjoyed the multitude of choices and the far-East vibe from this place. My main concern whenever I look for Los Angeles spa deals is the cleanliness and the Raven was no exception to this rule. It was impeccable. I was in heaven during my Thai massage. I have never had a Thai massage before, but it was incredibly calming and I felt so centered after the hour. This is a unique spa which I personally think makes it one of those unique Los Angeles spa deals.

I Want to Look Young, But Not That Young

After my last vacation, I broke out like I hit puberty again. I don't know if it was the weather or the flight or something else, but I started looking for Los Angeles spa deals including facials this past week. I found rA Organic Spa in Burbank and they have hour-long facials personalized to your skin type. They spend time analyzing your skin type, (first selling point as one of those great Los Angeles spa deals) and they use these life-changing essential oils. My skin cleared up almost instantaneously, but I also felt so much more relaxed and my skin is still glowing and its been a couple of weeks since I got a facial. rA Organic Spa super-amazing for finding those Los Angeles spa deals!

Spa Sampling Continued...

So I splurged on the spa package for $99 at Voda Spa to treat myself for Valentine's Day. (Even though I don't have date, at least I can look hot!) It was one of the best Los Angeles spa deals I have ever tried. I liked it because you really got a feel for all the services that Voda offers: the Banya Platza, a Wild Berry Scrub, a 20 minute massage and a facial and all of this under 2 hours. It was a wonderful extended lunch break! I love Los Angeles spa deals, especially when they are clean and posh and have great cocktails, so Voda got my stamp of approval. I love my life - You really can't get bored finding new Los Angeles spa deals.

A Happy Ending for a Broken Nail

When you go to a spa, you want to be pampered. Thus, Los Angeles spa deals aren't always about getting the right price, but also getting the right treatment at these places. That's why of all my Los Angeles spa deals, I love going to Paint Shop Beverly Hills the most. Yeah, I definitely get a great manicure, but the manicurists there are super-sweet and attentive. It's like being transported to one of those salons in the movies, where you feel like your hairstylist is your bff. And they do everything right and talk to you without being annoying. That's one of those wonderful Los Angeles spa deals I always take advantage of.

Caterpillars Be Gone!

Not gonna lie, but my eyebrows can get out of control if I'm not vigilant, Thus, I'm always looking for a great Los Angeles spa deals to get my eyebrows done. I just discovered the Thread Bar in Westwood and for $7 got one of the best Los Angeles spa deals ever. It was painless, quick and easy, even though they only take cash. No redness, no swelling, no overpriced service just perfectly groomed arches. You really can't get any better than than when looking for Los Angeles spa deals. I don't think I ever have to go anywhere else. I'm definitely going there again. Thank you, Thread Bar!

Natural Magic for Your Hair

Finding Los Angeles spa deals can be taxing, which is why I love Aveda’s salon in Westwood. It’s a student training center, but you can get an amazing haircut and style for only $19! It’s one of the best Los Angeles spa deals that you can get all the time. Plus, there is a mini-facial included and the students are so attentive and careful to do a great job on your hair. I’ve always been so satisfied with the whole process. It can take a while sometimes - a little bit over an hour - but it’s one of those totally worthwhile Los Angeles spa deals! Just be sure to make your appointment early, because they get booked pretty fast.

Reasons I am Indecisive

Sometimes, I really hate choosing between things. For instance, when I go to the spa, I have to figure out what I want to get. Do I want a facial and a massage? Or a massage and manicure? Or is it time to get some waxing done? But if I do my research and find Los Angeles spa deals for spas in my area, I don't have to choose. I can get a full package for cheap and have a full day. With Los Angeles spa deals, the choices would be between different color nail polishes and hot stone massages versus the Swedish massage. I guess I would still hate making decisions, but at least they would be more fun decisions to make. With Los Angeles spa deals, I wouldn't have to choose between being relaxed or making my hair look socially acceptable, I can have both!
