Giveaway Goodness: La Residencia Spa
Whether you traveled or stayed put during February vacation (or are chasing little ones sans "vacation"), no doubt last week left you in need of a bit of restoration. And how's this for awesome: as part of my Giveaway Goodness series, La Residencia Spa in Newton would like to slather one lucky reader’s face in gold! Sweet! La Residencia's 24K gold facial is a luxurious hour and a half long treatment that engages traditional plant-based techniques (e.g., marine scrub, herbal treatments, seaweed mask) then capitalizes on the properties of gold (via mask and massage) to smooth wrinkles, cool the skin, reduce inflammation, and render glowing skin. How can you not feel like a million bucks by the end?
To enter to win La Residencia's 24K gold facial, check out and follow the rules below by midnight, Sunday, Feb. 28.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Congrats to winner Melissa!

Rules:
*One lucky winner (drawn using Random.org) will receive the hour and a half long La Residencia Gold Facial ($250 value!).

I would LOVE to have a facial - even for 5 minutes! I haven't pampered myself since my 17 month old daughter was born. This would be heaven!

Facials make you feel all shiny and new!! Haven't had one siince before the birth of my 8 month old... a facial for an hour and 1/2 would be pure indulgence for me.

While my 7 month old twins' spit-up is quite moisturizing, I would die for a real-life facial.

I have had such a long and Hard winter. I turned 50 last year and said I was going to treat myself to a day of beauty but I of course that didn't happen. This Gold facial sounds heavenly! Just what I need hopefully before I'm 51

I think I could handle being slathered in gold for 1.5 hours!
Posted by: Aline | February 23, 2010 7:02 PM | Reply to this comment
1.5 hours by myself lying down sounds like heaven. But a facial to boot? You'd be my favorite blogger ever!

I'm 38 and I've never had a spa treatment. How did this happen? I've been in 14 weddings (including my own), worked for 6 different companies, gotten my Masters degree, and given birth twice. I need a spa treatment!
Did I mention, my email address is noelle01520@yahoo.com?

As a mother to almost 4 year old triplets who are giving up their nap - I'd be willing to just sit next to the winner and watch if it would buy me an hour of quiet! Ok - actually having the facial would be better so pick me!

Who wouldn't feel golden just having a moment to oneself relaxing at a spa. Okay, who am I kidding, most of us would be happy with 5 minutes alone on the couch.
Sounds fabulous.
