Spooky SpaGirl Costume

I woke up in a bit of a tizzy this morning. See, I have this Halloween shindig tonight and haven't had time to throw together a costume. I could still pull off my plan to be a peace-loving hippie (a real stretch for me as my friends know) but I would need to run around town for a few last things to pull it off. Honestly, what self-respecting hippie shows up at a party without a "Make Love, Not War" sign and I'm out of poster board. But then, as I was scuffling around my pink fuzzy slippers this morning, a flash of brilliance struck me. I could be a spa girl! How awesome would it be to hang out in my spa robe and slippers all night? I could even get in a few spa treatments for a double whammy of effect and effectiveness. So here's my ensemble and props, all from my closet and bathroom vanity. I would highly encourage you to give this Halloween costume a shot. You'll be the envy of your friends.

One pink spa robe (my favorite from the Four Seasons Spa).
One pair of Sensi sandals (flip-flops would work too.
One Cris Notti sleep mask as a hair band (you could also use a hair turban, towel or headband like the ones at ebubbles.com).
One cucumber (thin slices cut in half for under the eyes).
One pair of Bliss Glamour Gloves (you could use hand mitts or clear plastic bags).
Two sets of facial masks. I think I'll put on a French green clay mask on in the car before I go in, rinse after a few a drinks and then put on a hydrating mask. This gives me a chance to try my new Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque from Eminence Organics. Brilliant!

Finally, I think I'll load up with other spa accessories I've collected over the year like hand massagers, neck wraps and nail buffers. Have yourself a happy, blissful Halloween! Photo: The fabulous, fashionable sleep masks from Cris Notti, $20-$25.
