Check out the fabulous destination-spa grand prize raffles which will encourage you spa-goers to make those extra individual contributions for the chance to win big again (and get pampered even more!). Book your appointments ASAP & go to Spa Day's Website for info.

Engagement season has descended upon the female age bracket of 26-34 like Kirstie Alley at an all you can eat buffet (which is perfectly ok because we would be right behind her in the biscuit line.) Speaking of, two of Splendora's swingin' employees recently got betrothed thus forcing them into a year of wedding planning servitude while seated at desks less than 2 feet apart (cue "Dueling Banjos.") While we whittle their waists and try to perfect the swanlike look as to appear as a Paltrow-esqe apparition on our wedding day(s), we were not surprised to find out that our favorite sophisticated lady GP was chosen as the spokesperson for a line of sparklers from diamonder Damiani. But, the interesting part of this endorsement is that Paltrow's ex-fiancee Brad Pitt is also a spokesperson-designer for Damiani's D-Side line. Clearly, the ex-fiancee moratoriaum has been lifted by Chris and Jen.

Re-Engaged

Want to be really fabulous on November 2nd? After you vote, how about volunteering at a phone bank for a few hours to make sure that our pals in the swing states don't forget either! Call Zem on: 415.924.4414 for info or to make a reservation.
