Great Escape: De-Stress with an Organic Mani, Pedi or Facial

Parenting is a tough, often thankless, job. You deserve to take a breather every now and again. But what should you do with your downtime?

Each week, we bring you one great idea to de-stress. In doing so, we hope to make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

This week, treat yourself to a lime zest spa manicure ($22) or pedicure ($32) at . The flavored lime zest mani or pedi is a more deluxe version of a basic versions ($18 to $28) and consists of an exfoliating treatment with uplifting essential oils. They come in other flavors, too, such as mandarin honey, lavender lemongrass, vanilla wild plum and green tea.

If you don’t mind shelling out a little more, try the green tea facial ($65). Green tea is a strong anti-oxidant, which makes it a good anti-inflammatory (especially good for people with sensitive, irritated skin or Rosacea). The facials also include a hand treatment with heat mitts and oils.

As a bonus, the skin care boutique on Broadway Boulevard uses only natural, organic products.
