A beautiful morning at Lush on Lexington.

My Experience: Lush Spa NYC
Real Mr. Housewife

I love Lush. No I'm not being payed to say that. The Lush people don't even know I exist, but I'm all about them. Ever since they opened a store in my hometown of Fresno, I've been obsessed with their sustainable made, beautiful, bubbly beauty products. Going into a Lush store is an adventure each time.

You get to walk around this brightly colored, sweet smelling store and find the soaps, scrubs, shampoos, and face masks that best fit your skin tone and type. It can be kind of an emotional experience.

So with my infatuation with this company and passion for skincare, you'll imagine my joy when I found out that Lush Spas existed. You mean a place where I could have a perfectly lovely skincare experience with exclusively Lush products?! Where do I sign up? I was so excited to visit the website and find out more about the treatments that they offered and to find out that there was a spa location in New York City, one of my favorite places to visit and where I happen to have been hanging out for the past three weeks. What a deal, right?

After doing a little research through the Lush website and YouTube channel, I picked out a treatment and went to the Lush app to book an appointment right away. Super clear, so easy to use, and I was ready to go into the spa the next day! So exciting!

When I got to the spa, everyone was so professional and accommodating. I sat down in the "spa waiting area" and got to drink cucumber lemon water, it was all very posh and fancy.

My therapist Ellysha came out right away and we went upstairs to talk about my treatment, The Validation. I had chosen this one because it was an all natural face treatment that was supposed to be the "antidote to mass-market facials", which sounded right up my alley.

Take a look at the treatment I got here!

Ellysha was so kind and helpful in explaining my treatment and guiding me through picking products. I got to go through the store with her as she explained everything involved in my facial and showed me options for Lush products that she would use on my face. It was great that I not only got to choose my products, but got to test them out on my hand and smell them to really get a sense of what would work for my skin.

Ellysha also mentioned to me that all the therapists at the spa spend six months training in England to get a true sense of the Lush spirit and how to best help their clients, which I thought was amazing. No wonder she was so helpful and knowledgeable.

After getting a whole palette of products to use on my face, we headed upstairs into the most relaxing, peaceful room ever. It was dark and quiet and absolutely lovely. I got to get in this cozy table bed and have my skin cleansed, massaged, and exfoliated with beautiful music in the background recorded by a folk band specific to Lush.

I know, a truly hippie experience. In the 40 minutes I was with Ellysha, I was completely soothed and relaxed and felt like I was floating. At the end she put a lemon essential oil around my temples and under my nose to gently wake me out of my relaxation. I got to check out my skin and see how perfectly glowy and beautiful I felt!

At the end of my facial, I got to drink some fruity tea and relax, taking my time before I stepped out of the room.

I was so happy and peaceful at the end of my time at the Lush spa. So absolutely excited to have had this experience! Ellysha was so sweet and gave me a hug and sent me on my way with a bag of fun Lush goodies.

If you're ever in New York or Philadelphia, I highly recommend booking a treatment. I hope Lush spas start to expand around the country, because my experience was nothing short of wonderful and I'd go back again in a heartbeat.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
