Be Good and Green to Yourself!

The gals over at PrettyCity tell us that it's "pretty being green," and they're helping the rest of us put that uplifting idea into practice with their Green and Gorgeous pledge, which started on June 5th, World Environment Day.

Across the country, spas are participating in Green and Gorgeous by pledging to recycle, conserve water and energy and provide green products to their clients. And I was also intrigued to read that the spas are developing signature treatments that have a reduced negative impact on the environment.

While supplies last, green ladies -- and gentlemen -- who get a treatment at a participating spa also get a "Tote-ally Pretty" tote that is super cute and a great reusable shopping bag.

Even better, the spas are all offering special rates for select treatments, and the prices are as compelling as the green benefits. The cool services and prices include:

  • Organically Smooth & Beach Ready: Eucalyptus-Lime foot soak, organic pineapple & coconut exfoliation and hydration at the Awa Spa & Wellness Sanctuary in Tampa, FL. $59, usually $70.
  • Gorgeous Shape: A relaxing Pureology shampoo with deep conditioning treatment followed by a haircut with blowout and style at the Aqua Salon in Chicago, IL. $39, usually starts at $50 and up.
  • Many Thanks Organic Pedicure: This invigorating pedicure includes cucumber scrubs to exfoliate dead cells and nourish skin! At Skintology in Chelsea, NYC. $39, usually $65.

Not all states are represented, but if you have a spa you love, and would love to see participate in Green and Gorgeous, you can always submit their information to PrettyCity, which maintains an extensive list of spas, including reviews, as well as information about the latest trends!
