Indulge… the Organic Way


May 6, 2011


Organic eating, organic living, organic spa-ing? While spas may conjure up the notion of all-natural treatments like seaweed and mud wraps, most spas use skincare products containing synthetic ingredients that may, over time, build up toxins in one’s body. As we all try to eat, live and breathe healthier than we ever have before, most of us are realizing that it’s just as important to pay attention to what we put on our bodies as what we put in our bodies.

Bloor West Organic Spa comes to the rescue! Situated in the trendy Bloor West Village in Toronto, it offers all-natural treatments, like Vitamin C ($95) and Exfoliating Masque with Papaya ($75) facials, Moroccan Rassoul Clay Wrap ($85) and Lime and Lemongrass Pedicures ($50), just to name a few.

They also offer special packages like Taste of Heaven, which includes a Wine and Honey Facial and a Mediterranean Manicure and Pedicure (3 hrs., $135), and The Ultimate Organic Escape, which includes their Signature Organic Facial, Seaweed Body Wrap, Swedish Massage, Lime and Lemongrass Pedicure and Rosemary Manicure (4 hrs., $200). 

And since enjoying the spa is an experience you can delight in sharing, why not treat your mom, sister or friend to a day of all-natural pampering? Bloor West Organic Spa even offers special occasion packages such as its Mother’s Day Special, which includes a Signature Organic Facial and Organic Pedicure with Hot Stone Massage (2 hrs., $99).
