coming soon: bliss washington d.c.!

Hello, my beauty-loving brood. I have some exciting news about our latest spa launch! But before I get into all that, I’d like to say that I’m sorry for being blasé about blogging, yet again. (For some reason, I’m hearing that “Too Late To Apologize” song playing over and over in my head.) I appreciate those of you who check the blog regularly, and I’m going to do my best to update more often. (Not that anyone wants excuses, but I actually took a little vacay, and—horror of horrors—got caught without my sunscreen and ended up a bit red. I’ve been hiding out in shame ever since, to avoid being scolded by everyone at HQ.)

Anyway… on to the big news: This Tuesday, July 8th, marks the official opening (or as we like to call it, ‘skin’-auguration) of our newest spa, Bliss Washington D.C.! Now our nation’s Capital can balance complexions as well as the budget, talk about waxes as much as taxes, and achieve true bi-‘pore’-tisanship. The space—just a stone’s throw from the Obamas’ pad—features our usual top-notch tension-fighting facilities and trademark Bliss touches, and will be the perfect spot for D.C. dwellers to exercise their First ‘Aah’-mendment right: the freedom of ‘spa’. Booking lines are now open, so snag your appointment and prepare for the most heated debate in town: Ginger Rub or Super Blissage?

While we’re on the topic of America’s Capital, I’d like to wish you all a Happy 4th of July weekend. Enjoy all those BBQs (just be sure to have a jar of Fatgirlslim on standby for that extra hot dog or two…)

Happy long weekend!

I’m ba-aaaaack…

Miss Bliss here. I know I’ve been less than prolific in my blogging lately, but I took a little hiatus to take care of some important business. (If you must know, I was field-testing new spa treatments—so I’ve spent the past few weeks getting plucked, purged, pummeled and pedicured, all in the name of beauty. I know, it’s a thankless job, but someone’s gotta do it.)

Anyway, I’m happy to announce that I’m back in full swing with the blogging thing. I also have some exciting announcements concerning the blog and other social media:

• I want to give this blog a fresh start, and I’d like to start by consulting with some beauty bigwigs: you, the readers. (You’re out there, aren’t you?) I envision the blog as a fun, honest mix of beauty banter, expert advice and glam-focused gossip—but I’d like to hear how YOU envision it. After all, how can I expect you to log on if I’m not giving you what you like? So leave comments and let me know what you want to see on here: More polls and surveys? More spa-at-home advice? A lengthy post about my favorite reality TV shows? Just tell me!

• We’re going to be seriously ramping up our Twitter tactics in the coming weeks. If you aren’t following us, then fly on over and start! (Am I supposed to use bird-related words whenever talking about Twitter? I’m still getting the hang of it.) We’re going to have more tweeters, more updates, more news, exclusive Twitter offers…so don’t miss out.

• We’re getting ready to pare down our Facebook presence a bit. But don’t panic, Facebook fanatics! (You know who you are.) We’ll still be on there, but just in a more simplified way. Instead of having a Bliss Spa profile, fan page, and group, we’re going to trim the fat and just keep the fan page. In the coming weeks, we’ll phase out the Bliss Spa profile and We Love Bliss! group. So, if you’re friends with us or part of the group, make sure you become a fan so you stay in the Bliss loop once these changes go into effect. And fret not: we’ll still give you all the same updates and news on our fan page—the only difference is, you won’t have to navigate all over Facebook to keep up with it all. (Now you can spend only three hours a day on Facebook instead of four!)

I’m really excited to get started, so don’t forget to leave your feedback in the comments section. I know you guys are opinionated (you’ve never held back when it comes to giving your two cents on a serum), so let me have it!

To mix or not to mix??? that is the question…

Our meeting debate of the day was… should we pre-mix steep clean mask to make it easier for the customer to use? Some people like mixing the blue with the yellow… others think it would be better if we blended them in the lab and removed an extra step for the customer.

Would love to hear what steep clean mask fans think… your wish is our command!

How to say “bye bye” to blemishes

Zits, pimples, blemishes, breakouts….whatever you call ‘em, the only thing that matters is that they go away!

Our secret weapons against blemishes are about become very public knowledge!
1. Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask: It’s not only good for brightening and hydrating. It’s detoxifyin! Did you know: blemish-causing bacteria are unable to survive with oxygen present. Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask detox-es by creating an oxygen environment on the skin which helps prevent bacteria from causing breakouts.

How is this different from an oxygenating product that contains a form of hydrogen peroxide?
The oxygen delivery system in Triple Oxygen Energizing Mask is a more advanced, efficient way to deliver oxygen to the skin surface. It is truly the next generation of skin care. Also, hydrogen peroxide based products have been known to bleach eyebrows if not carefully applied!

Can you use the Triple Oxygen Energizing Mask with other masks?
Yes! The Triple Oyxgen Energizing Mask is not exfoliating.
It is energizing and detoxifying. So you can definitely use it several times each week AND still use our steep clean mask (which is enzymatic and exfoliating) or peeling groovy (an amino acide based exfoliating, decongesting, pore minimizing serum).

2. Bliss Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask is our professional-strength mask for clearer skin. It’s a once a week, 15-minute facial in a bottle that declogs and minimizes the appearance of pores, brightens the skin, and regulates oil without drying. We use this mask every day in our instant mattification facial.

This pore plunging, clog clearing mask will transform skin into a scene of extremely clean when used weekly for 15 minutes. Intensive exfoliation, oil elimination, and deep pore purging are a perfect for all (but especially pimple prone) skin types.

Cheers to getting ‘clear’!

Are you a committaphobe?

Are you feeling a little committaphobic (with your purchases, that is) lately? With the economy in an ultra super mega slump, it’s sometimes difficult to justify big purchases. I know I have a much easier time letting go of $30 on a great cleanser that will last me through the summer than it is to spend $200 on, well, ANYTHING right now.

No need to fear-frugal Miss Bliss is here! Recessionistas no longer have to tremble at the beauty counter because there are absolutely affordable and, might I say, adorable try-me-sized beauty buys out there.
