So why not hedonistically treat yourself (and those you love) to some soothing scents of this season? (Your Hedonista recently partook as a media guest.)

This winter holiday, Seattle’s Vida Spa – located over in the Denny Triangle neighborhood – is offering a two fabulous treats:

1) Their Winter Essential Kit – this kit offers a $100 gift card plus a gender-neutral Lug™ travel case packed with four moisture-rich, de-winterizing products (whipped body butter; hand, foot and heel cream; hydrating facial serum; and nail fuel).  And the price is right – $190 value for only $129.

2) Their fabulously decadent Pine and Juniper Berry massage under it’s Holiday Fever – No Longer Just for Kids… package.  From now until Christmas (now remember, that’s only a few more days, dear hedonists), you get a 90-minute Pine & Juniper Berry-infused aromatherapy massage for only $180 – and you walk away with a $50 gift certificate (that’s a $230 value – Ho! Ho! Ho!). These oils – specially mixed by the folks at Vida for this holiday-specific treatment – not only put both mind and body in the mood for the holidays; they also tend to help alleviate muscle inflammation and muscle tension as well as offer a winter-fighting eucalyptus-esque sinus cleansing plus a general antibacterial effect.

So go lose yourself in the Denny Triangle and let the scent of  cleansing and energizing pine and juniper berries – not to mention a lovely, luxurious massage – bring you back to the true meaning of the holidays:  Inner Peace.

(We’ll work on the rest of the Earth from there.)
