At Bliss, we’re equal opportunity beauty junkies—from skincare to bodycare to hair care to shapewear, we’re all over it (and, um, if it’s something that can be slathered, it’s all over us).
But even though we’re gaga over everything glam-centric, we know you probably have primping preferences and cosmetic concerns that fall into certain categories above all else. Maybe you’re really wrapped up in removing your wrinkles. You could be totally devoted to detonating those cellulite-induced dimples. Perhaps you’re smitten with scented scrubs of every sort. You might fancy fitness footwear, be wild about waxing, salivate over supplements or be mad about makeup. Or, it’s possible you’re just like us and are preoccupied with all kinds of preening, period.
While we strive to bring you every ‘breed’ of beauty at Bliss, we’d love to know the top types that make you tick (so we can deliver more of those picks). So fill us in:
Thanks for participating, and helping us make Bliss even better.
Allow me to ‘paint’ a picture: Spring arrives. That first freakishly warm day pops up in the forecast. You tentatively pull your sandals out of storage, but hesitate when you take stock of your sorely neglected soles, chastising yourself for letting those calluses build up and slacking on regular polishings. (But it was just so easy to hide those Franken-feet under winter boots!) You decide to bite the bullet and bravely book that first pedicure, bracing yourself for the disdainful looks the nail tech will surely cast your way upon evaluating your hardened heels…
Let me stop right there, because the nail techs at Bliss would NEVER look disdainfully at anyone. They’ve seen it all, and besides—why would you be coming in for a pedi if your feet were already perfect? Whether or not you’ve bared your ‘soles’ yet this season, few things make you feel more instantly put together than a fresh pedicure—and our spas have some of the most over-the-top tootsie treatments in town.
Feel like channeling your inner Jimmy Buffet? Try our tantalizingly tropical ‘pedi’ colada. With a pineapple and coconut-infused soaking and scrubbing and hot seashell massage, it’s total pedi-paradise. Plus, you get to guzzle a piña colada while you get groomed (the virgin kind, don’t get TOO excited).
Or, if you’re a big fan of our blood orange+white pepper bath products (and who isn’t?), try the citrus-centric head over ‘peels’ pedicure, which includes a soak and scrub with the aforementioned products. Those who have tried it firsthand (or first-foot?) say it’s total juicy goodness.
Feel like your scraggly soles are in need of more renovations than a home on HGTV? Try our foot patrol pedicure, a ‘take no prisoners’ pedi that kicks calluses to the curb and leaves your soles baby-smooth.
And if you’re looking for real rockstar toes, try our ‘toe’-tally trendy ‘minx’ coat pedicure, a celeb favorite. There’s no polish involved: our techs adhere flexible coverings to your nails, and you can choose from a plethora of playful patterns (everything from pink cheetah to gold with black fishnet, I kid you not). Trust me, it’s a killer look on a big night out—everyone will be talking about your toes.
It doesn’t end there: there’s the mint-infused cold feet pedicure for depuffing swollen feet (feels fab in hot weather), our signature hot milk and almond pedicure for total sole-softening indulgence, or the always dependable basic pedicure for no-frills types. And don’t forget wintertime favorites the double choc pedicure (with a cup of hot cocoa) and the hot foot (with hot stones and sea salt). Seriously, when it comes to pedicures, our spas offer the ‘sole’ she-bang—so go ahead and book the foot-pampering treatment you fancy. I know I just convinced myself to do it.
Have you ever been slathering on your lemon+sage body butter, and found the scent so totally delish, you seriously contemplated taking a taste? (Don’t deny it, we’ve all been there.) Well, I’ve got something that’ll totally a-‘peel’ to you: a recipe for lemon-sage popcorn!
I have a friend who’s quite the cook, always whipping up amazing recipes she comes up with on the fly. She posted the recipe for this savory snack on her blog recently, and I couldn’t resist sharing it with all of you.
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? In fact, I could totally picture it becoming a ‘pop’-ular munchie at our spa buffet, right next to the legendary brownies. I’ll tell you this much—it sure beats making another bag of greasy microwave popcorn. (I can never figure out the perfect time to cook those, and the popcorn always tastes burnt. Ick.) So if any of you beauty-loving foodies make a batch, tell me how you like it!
Actually, as I’m writing this, I’m realizing how many of our products would be really yummy translated into something edible.
Hope you worked up an appetite—or are at least hungry for another tube of body butter.
Tell me: who doesn’t appreciate the simple, sudsy pleasure of a good body wash? It makes showering so much less mundane—who cares that it ends up going down the drain?
“But…but…don’t you already have shower gels in those scents?” you may ask. And you’d be right (we’re so glad you’re paying attention). But we couldn’t leave ‘gel’ enough alone, so we did some serious ‘foam’ renovations to our existing formulas, and are now re-launching them as our all-new soapy suds.
So what have we done to your beloved bubbles? First, we made them almost twice the size—they’ve gone from 8.5 oz to a whopping 16 oz each. Next, we slashed the price from $24 to $18. You’re probably thinking: “WHA? A bigger bottle for less money? Does not compute.” Well, we decided to break the rules, just because we love you.
And we’ve topped it all off with two other improvements: a pump dispenser to replace the cap top (goodbye squeezing, hello squirting), and a new, paraben-free formula.
We’re totally thrilled about all the updates, but we want to know what you’re most excited about. So go on, tell us:
Stay tuned – later this week, we’ll be telling you all about our new fabulous foaming body wash (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like).
Greetings! I’m here to give you all a reminder that our gorillas are gearing up for their anti-hair protest march down the Manhattan streets, which starts tomorrow, 8/5 and continues Thursday, 8/6. The press is already going ‘wild’ with anticipation, and so are we. (Seriously, someone has been playing King Kong on a loop in our cafeteria since yesterday.)
So don’t forget to keep an eye out for our simian street team at spots like Sephora in Times Square (42nd and 7th), Crunch gym on Lafayette Street, and every subway, park and naked cowboy in between. Sure, your initial reaction upon spotting a bikini-clad ape might be to bolt in the other direction—but when you know he’s handing out special offers for 20% off signature brazilian bikini waxes at our spas, and 20% off fuzz-fighting and body-toning bestsellers in-spa and online, we recommend chasing down that monkey suit for your chance at a de-fuzzing discount.
In the spirit of our anti-fur campaign, I’d to ask you readers a hair-removal-related question, just for fun:
