Lip Service: Lip Balms from Decléor and Votre Vu
It's not often that I find a lip balm worthy of taking me away from my beloved Bonne Bell LipSmackers. (Yes, I am a teenager at heart.) But recently, I've upgraded my lip routine to include two seriously luxurious lip balms -- and now there's no looking back.

A massage that actually includes built-in nap time? Sounds too good to be true, I know ... but at YeloSpa, that's exactly what you'll get.

Mani of the Week: Zoya Jules
I'm always one for a little bling, so Zoya Jules -- from the brand's new Intimate collection -- is definitely up my alley. I love the multidimensional flecked gold shimmer -- it's somehow exactly right for day or night.

Rock Your Body: Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Care Skin Cleansing System
Boscia Limited Edition Green Tea Blotting Linens: A Stylish Necessity
There's nothing I love more than a good blotting linen. And at the top of my list? Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens. I love the lightweight texture, the subtle scent of green tea that permeates the paper, and the linens' ability to soak up each and every spot of unsightly grease from my visage in an instant.

Salon and Spa Directory: Auriga Spa at Setai Fifth Avenue
Relaxation. Rejuvenation. Treatments based upon the varying energies of the lunar cycle. If you're curious about that last part, then you simply must head to Auriga Spa at Setai Fifth Avenue for one of the most luxurious spa experiences in New York.
I came into the spa during the waning moon phase, which meant I was treated to a 180-minute treatment that focuses on deep cleansing the system. Yes, 180 minutes -- that's three full hours! This treatment included dry brushing, a seaweed wrap, a full-body lymphatic drainage massage and a mini purifying facial.
Now, if I told you I felt like a puddle of jello after this treatment, would you believe me? Three hours of complete and total relaxation, in addition to the fact that the treatment room was huge and serene, and my therapist had magic hands that lulled me to sleep, were all I needed to completely detoxify my system and get me ready for the year ahead. (Because, yes, I received this treatment on my birthday!)
The amazing treatments aren't all you'll be able to experience at Auriga Spa. The spa includes a massive coed lounge area complete with whirlpools, a Hammam steam room, and two of the most incredible showers I've ever seen -- replete with music, a light show and rain shower heads coming at you from all directions. I want one in my house!
If you're looking for the ultimate in pampering and relaxation, the Auriga Spa is most definitely worth checking out. The spa also offers a la carte massages, wraps, body treatments and facials. The only problem is, you won't want to leave!
Disclosure: Auriga Spa kindly provided this treatment free of charge for potential editorial consideration.
Guilty Pleasure: Gucci Guilty
It takes a lot for me to really love a perfume. I'll wear some that aren't my favorites, sure -- but if I'm going to tell other people about one, it's because it's really become one of my tried and true favorites. Such is the case with Gucci Guilty.
As if the gleaming golden bottle with Gucci's signature interlocking "G's" weren't enough, the fragrance within is stunning. It's the perfect blend of masculine and feminine, with floral and oriental notes and just a dash of citrus. Notes of mandarin, pink pepper, peach, lilac, geranium, amber and patchouli create a sexy, sensual and provocative fragrance ... which, at the same time, is totally wearable.
So, my new guilty pleasure? It most definitely includes Gucci Guilty.
Gucci Guilty is $95 for 2.5 oz. at sephora.com.

Mani of the Week: Essie Going Incognito
I'm seriously in love with my nail polish choice this week! I went with Essie Going Incognito, a creamy hunter green from the new Winter Collection. I love the deep pigment of this color -- shown here with two coats, but even after one it completely covers the nail. The green hue is just so chic and sophisticated.
