Birthday Giveaway: Bliss Boston
Last month I served as a practice dummy for Bliss Boston, and given that the Bliss team was able to deliver the awesome in a temporary, not so fancy training space, I cannot wait to go back once the 5,000 square foot spa opens for real this summer at the W Boston. Offering a full range of spa services such as facials, body treatments, massage, waxing, and mani/pedis, Maureen skillfully infused new life into my face with the triple oxygen treatment and Leanne executed what is possibly the most awesome body treatment ever: a carrot and sesame body buff that involves being rubbed in carrot mulch, drizzled in warm milk and honey, and scrubbed with sesame and sea salt. AMAZING. And as part of my Boston Mamas Fourth Birthday Giveaway Series, Bliss Boston generously is gifting two lucky winners each with a $100 gift certificate to the Boston spa. Simply check out the rules below and leave a comment on this giveaway by Monday, July 26, to enter to win.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Congrats to winners Tracey and Julia!
+ + + + +
Rules:
* Two lucky winners (drawn randomly via Random.org) will each receive a $100 gift certificate to Bliss Boston. The winners will be notified directly via e-mail, then listed back at this post using first name only.

I used to think that I didn't deserve the self care and pampering that you get at spas. I am thankful that I no longer feel that way! Bliss sounds absolutely wonderful!

Hi~~
I looked at their services and noticed they do the new 'minx' coat manicure'. I have family in Boston (I'm not far away in CT) and it would be so much fun to have our nails done together at Bliss!

As a working mom and mother of "terrible-two's" twins, I need MORE bliss in my life. Beyond the skillful massages and pampering.... I need to find a way to make true bliss part of my daily routine.
Bless Bliss!

I don't think I appreciated what hard work cultivating a little one in your belly would be until I had to go through the process...Now, 6 months into it I can definitely say that I have a new respect and love for all the mommas that came before me! A blissage sounds glorious.
