In other news, be sure to make plans to get out and about this Thursday night, March 6. You couldn't ask for a more fun evening of spa hopping. First, stop by the About Face Skincare & Cosmetics silent auction and event in Scottsdale, which benefits for Purses and Love, an organization that supports victims of domestic abuse. Then, trip on down to Paradise Medspa & Wellness in Phoenix for their grand opening. Tour their new facility and enter a raffle for your chance to win some fab giveaways. If that's not your thing, pop by Pucci Salon & Day Spa in Scottsdale for their Girl's Night event. Enjoy complimentary cocktails, makeovers, blow drys, manicures and learn more about MB York's top-selling secret weapons used by Hollywood's A-listers. Finally, if you're interested in learning about cheap and easy ways to experience the spa at home, join yours truly for a hands-on class on how to make DIY salt and sugar scrubs at Fresh Start Women's Foundation in Phoenix.
