kick off your summer with a boatload of bliss freebies!

Hallelujah! It’s Memorial Day weekend, the official start to summer (even though it already feels like we’re in the thick of it with the steamy weather we’ve been having). We know you’ve all got big plans for your 3.5 days of freedom, whether you’re braving the beach traffic, hitting up a few BBQs, or just doing absolutely nothing (something we wholeheartedly endorse).

However, we’d like to suggest adding one more activity to your weekend: snagging a free summer kick-off kit packed with $103 worth of Bliss goodies! For the rest of the holiday weekend (that’s right, we just extended the expiration date), you’ll get this gift bag free with any blissworld.com order of $75 or more (and with all the amazing summer beauty stuff we’ve got, we don’t think it will be very hard for your order to qualify).

here’s what you get in your gift bag:

• A full-sized tube of problem salved, to soothe everything from sunburn to mosquito bites.
• A deluxe sample of clog-dissolving cleansing milk, the perfect wash to switch to during summer’s pore-plugging weather.
• A full-sized tube of get out of hair, to delay hair re-growth between shaves and waxes (see ya, stubble!)
• A deluxe sample of lid+lash wash, to soothe those peepers and gently remove eye makeup – even the waterproof kind.
• A deluxe sample of daily detoxifying facial toner, a hydrating, water-based toner that is SO seriously refreshing after a hot day.
• A deluxe sample of the youth as we know it concentrate, which is not only a skin-luminizing anti-aging treatment, but also doubles as a lightweight moisturizer during warm weather when you don’t want something too rich.
• A deluxe sample of triple oxygen instant energizing mask, to brighten your skin in five minutes and sport that coveted summer glow.

That’s a tempting list of goodies, am I right? And we know you’re in the mood to relax, but you’ve got to act fast, because this offer is only around until Tuesday, June 1. So start shopping, place your order and enter code SUMMER in your shopping bag, then kick back and wait for your ‘glam’-packed gift bag to arrive.

Happy summer, everyone!

ready, ‘pedi’, go!

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.

And just for fun, a quick poll:

Happy foot-flaunting!

why a bliss gift card is the ‘mother’ of all gifts

Mom always told you to plan ahead—but if you still haven’t gotten her a Mother’s Day gift, you haven’t really heeded her advice. But before I tell you why a Bliss gift card is the perfect pick (especially for procrastinators), I’m going to tell you why the usual predictable presents aren’t.

Let’s start with flowers: hello, ho-hum! I mean, sure, they’re pretty, and no one’s going to bemoan a bouquet of blooms—but do they show imagination or more than a minute’s thought? Nope. Plus, they wither and die (I’m just saying).

What about clothes and jewelry? Those are a little more creative, but let’s be real: does anyone know your mom’s style better than she does? The chances that you’ll pick something she loves (and that fits her) are slim. At best, you’re probably facing a pasted smile when she gets a load of that trendy top, and an inquiry as to whether you got a gift receipt.

Next on the chopping block: cookware. Look, your mom might be a regular Julia Child, but giving her a panini press is just another way of saying, “Mom, go make me a sandwich.” Does she really need to spend even more time slaving in the kitchen?

I could go on—but instead, I’ll tell you why a Bliss gift card beats all of those ‘blah’ ideas. First, it’s a guaranteed pleaser—just try and find a woman who would say no to a spa treatment or beauty product. Second, she gets options—she can redeem it on a spa service (or one of our pre-picked packages), or buy products from our catalog, blissworld.com or in-spa stores. Third, you’re giving her a gift she really deserves: me-time. Unlike that panini press, this gift lets her sit back and relax, whether it’s during a muscle-melting massage or a five-minute at-home mask.

Oh, and one more plus: it’s easy-peasy for you—all you have to choose is the amount. And it lets you last-minute givers breathe a sigh of relief, because even if you don’t have the chance to stop at one of our spas to pick up the plastic version, you can have an e-card sent to mom’s inbox instantly (hey, at least half the moms out there are web-savvy by now).

So there you have it: a Bliss gift card truly is the ‘mother’ of all gifts. Does the woman who wiped your nose clean for all those years deserve anything less?

solve a case of spotted skin in 31 days

It’s no mystery that we’ve always been big on battling blemishes at Bliss. But this, my friends, is truly huge news for spot sufferers everywhere: we’ve just introduced a brand-new bliss acne system: no ‘zit’ sherlock!

Before I get into the ‘how’, I’m going to wow you with some clinical results we’re really jazzed about: it turns out that after using our new No ‘Zit’ Sherlock regimen, 95% of testers saw clearer skin in 31 days*. Those are some pretty impressive odds, no? I mean, your chances of getting a clearer complexion are a lot higher than winning lotto, and I’m sure you know lots of people who have shelled out for a Mega Millions ticket. Check out before and after photos of two of our lucky testers here.

So what’s in these potions that makes them work such magic? Well, aside from a hefty helping of salicylic acid to break up dead cells and oil, the star players here are probiotics. You may have heard of these being used in yogurt and dietary supplements—basically, they’re ‘beneficial’ bacteria similar to those found in your own body. They help boost skin’s natural defenses against acne-causing bacteria, and create a healthier environment. Learn more about the science behind these solutions here.

The regimen consists of three simple products: a cleanser+toner combo, a moisturizer and a serum. And to make life even easier for you—always our top priority—we’ve packed try-sizes of all three into a convenient little box, priced at just $32.

So what do you do when you want to pulverize pimples pronto? It’s elementary, my dear—pick up our new no ‘zit’ sherlock acne system.

‘Skin’-cerely,

Miss Bliss

still a bikini wax virgin? let us be your first and save 20%!

We get it: a bikini wax is not something you enter into lightly. It’s a very personal affair, and you wouldn’t just let anyone go ‘down there’. But if you’ve been saving yourself, now’s the perfect time to ‘give it up’—and we want you to come to Bliss for your first time. (We promise, you won’t regret it.)

Why should you allow yourself to be ‘de-fuzzed’ at one of our spas? Well, for starters, you’ll save 20% on your first Bikini Wax (Basic, Betweeny™ or Brazilian) for the entire month of April. (No cheating, waxing veterans—we’re checking records to make sure only first-timers get the discount!)

Plus, we swear we’ll be gentle with you. Our stripless wax is renowned in hair removal circles for being as painless as possible. Plus, we won’t try anything ‘dirty’ (ahem), because we’re practically OCD about hygiene during our services. And if you’re just nervous about having a stranger around your lady parts, don’t worry: our waxing techs have seen it all. They’ll make you feel totally comfortable, and to them, it’s just another day on the job. (Plus, you’ll get a pair of disposable undies. They’re not exactly full-coverage, but they do the trick.) Still want more depilatory deets? Check out our waxing FAQs.

And if all that isn’t enough to convince you to ‘go all the way’, consider the fact that bikini season is inching closer every day. Do it for the good of your fellow beach-goers—no one wants to get an eyeful of errant fuzz, and you certainly don’t want to be sporting it.

If we simply can’t talk you into taking it off in-spa, you also have the option of using our new and improved poetic waxing at-home hair removal kit, now with a microwaveable cup. It’s great for DIY touch-ups, but if you’re considering going fully bare down there, take it from us: leave that to the professionals, or you’ll be mad at yourself in the morning.

So book your first bikini wax and save a few bucks. Hey, think of it this way: you never forget your first, so why not do it with someone you can totally trust?

Happy waxing!

Miss Bliss
